SCIO. OREGON. FEB. 24. 1921
TARIFF ON SUGAR.
/ f
Senators Smoot of Utah and Rana-
dell of Louisiana, the former a re­
publican and the latter a democrat,
had much the lietter of the argu
ment when they advocated the im­
position of ■ protective tariff on su­
gar. Neither the beet sugar pro­
ducers nor the cane sugar producers
of the United States can success­
fully compete with the producers of
Cuba and other foreign countries
where both wages and the standard
of living is very low. Cuban sugar
with freight added dropped 4 cent»
in New York the last of January,
which will entail additional loss to
the American producer« who will be
compelled to meet the cut.
We
have no sympathy for the specula­
tors in sugar who lost heavily last
year, but the sugar industry of the
country must be preserved and the
tariff seems the only means by which
it can be accomplished.
Who Will Pay Taxe«?
Taxation! The word la coming to
have an ugly sound to the average
citizen. Our legislative bodies meet,
not to reduce taxes, but to impose
new burdens on the people
How
touch longer are thy people going
to be able to pay the tax bills? A
Spokane banker say«: ’’There will
certainly have to be a cut in taxes.
otherwise the cities and states will
be holding nearly all the real estate.”
Who will pay the taxes then? Al­
ready the tax burden is being paid
by fewer and fewer persona, due to
the fact that ownership in taxable
property, including land and securi­
ties of various kinds, are being
•voided in favor of tax-exempt mu­
nicipal and government bonds. Our
evst of government is rising out of
all proportion to the earning power
of the people or the value of prop

Thrift and Saving*.
Washington. 1). C.— President­
elect Warren G. Harding, In a letter
i
recently received by treasury offi­
cials. expressed his approval of the
government’s thrift and savings
movement represented In the sales
of war savings stamps, treasury sav­
ings stamps, and treasury saving«
certificates.
“Nothing could be truer.” he
wrote, “than! that in the present
economic state of the world It is
mc-saary for the people nut only to
teach but to practice economy in
expenditures, and sound investment
of their savings
Such work as you
are carrying on so successfully will
tie of inestimable value in re-estab^
lishing the financial and Industrial
fabric of the country, and through
this country of the world."
Harding said he was especially
interested in the statement of one
of the directory as to the Mgh per­
centage of savings securities still in
the hands of the original buyers.
"This is the best testimony to the
practical operation of your plan and
proves that real thrift is Iwcominv
a habit.*’ he said.
Danger point In industrial depres­
sion ha» been safely passed and con­
ditions may be exnrcted to improve
from now on. Vice President Rob­
erts of the National City Bank of
New York d cl a red in an interview
lie said: ”lt is fair to say that the
worst of industrial depression is
over. Before January 1 there war
a general feeling of uncertainty;
there was almost a total cessation
of buying by retailers.
The situ«
lion has now noticeably improved,
stocks have been reduced, merchants
are mors confident and there is a
general resumption of buying.”
