" "(Hi, well, must men who drink, don'l care who treats them." TN his California and Utah speeches, Candidate Hughes l dwelt upon tlio democratic proposal to reduce the tax on sugar as a death blow to the beet sugar industry. It is along with the old, old bunk that the protective tariff pro duces prosperity. It is true that the protective tariff does produce pros perity for the few, at the expense of the man v. The con sumer pays the tariff tax. The fruit of this policy is seen in our social conditions, in creation of monopolies, niiilli millionaircs and impoverishment of the majority. The protected industries pay the lowest wages, enforce the longest hours and sell abroad cheaper than at home. Protection is a form of governmental favoritism, of class legislation, of wealth accumulation inconsistent with democracy. Moreover, discriminative tariffs are the un derlying cause of the international friction that produce war, and there can never be universal peace until there is universal free trade.

Only on this ground is it excusable. !Xo meaner tax was ever devised than the tax on sugar. Every man, woman and child in the nation is a sugar user, and every man, woman and child must pay extra for this sugar. Jt is in every sense of the word a tax upon the poor, who can ill afford it a tax upon a necessity of life which no one can dodge. The sugar industry is not dependent upon this tax fru its maintenance. Jt never caused the millionaire sugar barons to pay a cent more to the farmer for his beets, or the southern planters to pay their negroes a. better wage. The industry did not need it it was so much "velvet " .''. The nation consumes some 4,000,f)00 long tons of sugar a year, uie per capif a. consumption is eighty-one pounds. The United States produces one-fourth, another fourth conies from Hawaii and-the Philippines the other 50 per cent we import. 'Ihe duty on sugar one cent a pound. I lie revenue derived is $86,000,000 a ' vear; onc-li:ilf of which goes to the government and one-half to the sugar producers. Ihe beet sugar companies have been oreatlv overran- MARK WEATHERFORD ff A , 'fit X. : i italisted and have made millions of profit and piled up big mi-pluses. The cost of manufacturing beet sugar runs ac cording to figures of manufacturers from 2.5(i cents a pound to 3.54 cents. The average selling price during the years before the war was 5.50 cents a pound. The sellino- price dropped after the Underwood tariff, the extent of the tariff reduction. Since the war all sugar concerns have cut melons out of all proportion to investment. American Beet stock lias risen from $20 to $(i8, (treat Western from $45 to $20(5, Michigan Sugar from $I!5 to $112. and others lnvmortion- ately. And to these fabulous profits all the A nieric:m nnn- lc must contribute further through the tariff that a few may prosper. IX CIIICAOO. ' Sir: Sign- -"Funeral designs made up on short notice.

Af PAGE I0NIGHI A new photoplay program opens at the Page today, that for genuine merit and originality and sustained Interest, is In u class by Itself. Douglas Fairbanks in "The (lood Had an," presents a combination of talent, which la seldom eiiualled. Douglas Fairbanks, with his enthu siasm his personality and Individual ity, his swift moving action, plays the lead, whilo dainty, demure, bessie Lovo plays the principal feminine pnrt. It's a combination rarely seen a combination sure to be appre ciated by the public. A clever tale about an eccentric highwayman, who appropriates the property of the undeserving and who generally redistributes wealth nc.corit Ing to his own whims and theories. It is a breezy comedy-ilnimii that Is per fumed with tho aroma of cactus add Hagebrut'.h and the Irrepressible per sonality of Douglas Fairbanks.

Weatherford of Albany, democratic candidate for representa tive to Congress, is duo to arrive in Medford this (Friday) evening and will spend several days campaigning in Jackson county. He is traveling by auto and wilMie accompanied here from rtoseburg by W. II. Canon, register of the hind office. Mr. Weatherford, who plans an ag gressive campaign against Ilawloy, Is a native of tho Willamette vnlloy, of pioneer stock, has an excellent chance of carrying the valley, which has alwaVs been llawley's strong hold, and therefore of election. Mr. Weatherford is a good orator, a ready debater, a young man of high IdealB and progressive tenden cies, and tho chances of his election aro pronounced excellent, by those who have studied the situation, as general discontent prevails against llawley's lethargy for the district as shown in the O. C. land grant legis lation. I.. Samuel, nn Oregon pioneer, founder Hint manager ol' the Oregon Life Insurance company, died Aiieust 21 at his home in Portland niter an illness of three months.
