or controlling the cane sugar lands! and plantations pf Cuba,
about forty millions of dollars a year
And these sugar barons are obtaining this mon6y under;
false pretenses. ... ; : : j? . -
. How is this? : .
: Well, the United States, after giving Cuba her
upon the conclusion of the war with Spain, allowedx that
country a differential of 20 per ceni on tariff charges onall
i iicjcs coming irom inai country xo ine united states. i
r. In the case of raw sugar, this amounts to about $40,-
uuu.uuu a year, it amounts to 44. cents per hundred pounds.
The duty on raw sugar coming from any other country is
2.20 cents a pound, and on raw sugar coming from Cuba the
duty is 1.76 a pound, owing to this differential, granted to
mat country lor tne purpose oi neipmg its people to
their feet, after their long struggle! against Spanish
' This grant to the Cuban people was made in
faith, at least on the part of most members of Congress.
was for what looked like a good cause
' But it has turned out that it is doing good chiefly to the
sugar barons of our country
And.it is making a gift to them of nearly forty
of dollars a4year, that would otherwise go into the United
States treasury. ; . 1
- More than this, it is arming the sugar barons with an
i unfair advantage in their fight to prevent the growth of the
beet sugar industry in this country : - I
1 1 . i I . ' '
, And more than this, it is against the interests of the
i t consumers of the United States, for! the more our beet sugar
r industry grows, the better is the competition .against the
I . sugar trust, and the lower is the price of sugar tolthe con--
sumers. . i ( j
' And more than this, it hampers the growth of the gen-
S eral business of the country, because every increase of sugar
Si
Under the supervisiqn of General Andrews, head of the
Federal prohibition department, the, bootleggers, moonshin
ers, boozers and booze1 sympathizers are beginning to writhe
and run. Even the booze sympathizing press is crying out
to the thirsty that the Volstead law cannot be enforced.
Assuming that its readers lack the ordinary powers of
observation or are so prejudiced in favor of booze that they
cannot detect bunk and misrepresentation it is trying to
make them believe that the evils resulting from booze are as
many and as bad as in the days of the open saloon.
Such brazen bunk will not increase sentiment for the
return "of booze of any kind or.degree.of alcoholic strength.
It will serve as a boomerang which will further discredit the
attempt to amend the Volstead act. ' .
The absurdity of the statements that under prohibition
law there is more drunkeness; that it "has stimulated the
drug evil; that it has added to the roadhouse evils; that booze
can be had anywhere, calls attention to the reverse which
is the truth.
Prohibition can be and will be enforced as well as other
laws whose objects are moral ands economic betterment. Its
enforcement is as thorough as is the enforcement of laws
relating to motor vehicles, laws ! relating to juvenile delin
quency and many others. : ;
And there is steady increase in the efficiency of enforce-
ment. The dog seldom yeips unless nun or imagining ue is w
be hurt. And so oyer those punished for drunkeness, boot
legging or moonshine operations there is great commotion
while nothing is said about the benefits of the prohibition
law to the home,' to industry and to business generally.

beet acreage in -this country means more and better live stock,
and better soil conservation ahd fertility - : j
And more than this, it is against the very desirable self
sufficiency of the United States in sugar, which is now only
1 s about a fifth of the total tonnage required. Our farmers can
j grow the beets for all the sugar we need in this country. If
a any! one should be favored with a gift of forty millions of
It dollars a year from the (federal treasury it is the nearly
'1300,000 farmers 'of this country growing the beets' for the
sugar factories of the United States !
But -they do not ask for a subsidy of this kind. They
want merely a chance for competition on just tenris. V j
The gift to the sugar trust is not doing any good to the
, sugar cane growers ef Cuba. They received in 1922 only
$1.16 per 100 pounds for the raw sugar extracted from their
s rane, while American farmers received that year art average
: of $3.37 per 100 pounds for the sucrose (sugar) from their
beets. And they are receiving about the same amount now,
though the consumer is paying less for his sugar; this being
brought about by better and cheaper manufacturing; methods
and better cooperation between the grower and the sugar

Although my instincts and my
fear of her strictures cried out
against such a course, my com
mon sense told me that the only
thing to do was to reveal to
Mother Graham at once the iden
tity of the overcoat's owner.
Sooner or later her old keen wits
and her persistence would worm
the truth out of Jim, and then
she would have a justifiable cause
of anger against me. .
