PIGE EES HEDFOKD SDTffi TmmJTTR, SIETRFTmD, OREGON, THURSDAY, MAY 13 1920. SUGAR SITUATION Scene from "Soldiers of Fortune" Now Playing at the Rialto TO RAISE OF 30,000 IN VIENNA. Austria is trying to or ganize an army to Bucceed the Volks wehr under the provisions of the bill hurriedly passed during the panic that followed the German revolution. It is to bo composed of 30,000 men. The treaty prohibits any aviation force. - The socialist elements fought for a worklngmen's army with great powers vested In the soldiers' coun cillors, exceeding in practice the au thority of the officers themselves. They were unable to obtain all their demands but the soldiers' councillors were given a voice in the adjudication of complaints and In all disciplinary measures provided for in the military code. . The conservatives, however, won tholr point In securing the allocation of recruiting in the provinces on a population basis and in provisions prohibiting political activity by the ' military forces. .. These provincial units are to bo garrisoned within tho province Itself and no man can be foisted upon a unit In a province In which he was not recruited without tho consent of the province Itself, and tho men must be bona fide citizens of their pro vince. ; It Is this provincial arrangement that the socialist elomcntB opposed most bitterly. They desired a purely national army and its recruitment as largely as possible from the working classes. On the one hand will be an army of peasant lads, and on tho oth er of Industrial classoB from the man ufacturing centers. ' L VS-j-.. l, , , :! t.aii-- . 3 . . ? r U1 Ti MORE MONEY SAYS . R: H.

Ilooth, commissioner, in addressing a Lane county audlonco on the 4. per cent road bond limit measure; "all we want is the power to capitalize tho income now on hand. The state road fluids are now tuken from two sources the'ono cent tax on each gallon of gasoline and the automobile license fees. The state constitution, as it now reads, prohibits moro than 2 percent being put into roads, and what the commission wants Is an amendment of this clause bo 4 per cent can be put Into roads. A direct additional tax is not asked for, nor is any increase in the gas tax or auto llccnso fees." Mr. Booth also brought out that "a new rond program Is not to be rushed thru, but tlio present one Is to be fln ished providing tho voters of Oregon back up the 4 per cent limit mea sure."' Commissioner Simon Benson la also on record against rushing con struction too rapidly, considering high labor costs and the high cost of money, but favors ratification of this 4 per cent bonding 'amendment - so there will be authorization to issue bonds at such times As favorablo con ditions justify, Final control over actual bond authorization rests with the legislature, as unless the legisla ture passes enabling legislation under the 4 por.cent amendment, the high way commission Is without authority to issue bonds.

The full text of 'Herbert Hoover's telegram to Senator Capper, in reply to the lat- ter's telegram asking information re garding the present sugar situation, the case of the present high prices and the remedy, which was made public by Senator Capper, was receiv ed yesterday at Hoover headquar ters: 'The present sugar situation Is due simply to bad business adminis tration. Last September the admin istratlon could have bought the Cuban sugar crop at six and one-half cents per pound for raw sugar. This would have given twelve cent sugar to our consumers and together with our domestic production would have furnished supplies in excess of our demands. As the result of the failure to act in this matter we are partici pating in the world shortage of sugar doe to decreased European produc tion and we are subject to unparal leled speculation and profiteering. "The use of sugar Is an absolute essential In our households and the present situation discriminates ter ribly against the poor. The increase in. price, is imposing an additional tax .upon our people of about $50 per family per annum since on the eight billion, pounds of sugar we consume per annum the present price will cost oar consumers over a billion dollars more than last year. .". "As at least one half of our sugar must come from foreign sources our merchants are bidding against Euro pean governments for its purchase. The profiteering Is International. "The situation is as much disliked by the vast majority of our manufac turers and distributors as by the pub. lie for they do not like even to be ac cused of profiteering. ."THIs situation cannot be remedied by the attorney general's conception that forces of this character can be bandied by putting a few people in Jail., " . "Something could be done to rem edy. matters if our government even now entered into negotiations with the large. European governments -to stop bidding against each other and to secure our fair share ot the avail able supplies. Aside from the Infla tion of price an undue share will otherwise go to Europe because their purchases are still being carried on undor the direction of their govern ments and our merchants have not the resources to compote with such organization for forward supplies and thus our fair . share is seriously Jeopardized. "It may bo too late to accomplish this. . , ' ' "The qecond thing that could bo done to break this gigantic bubble of speculation would be to reduce con sumption thru Immediate rationing of the non-essential consumers. Over a third ot our sugar is used by the can dy, sweet drink and other manufac turers of non-essentials. "During the war these trades pa triotically co-operated In public inter est in such reduction and themselves found substitutes of other Bweetening aterlals. tor the . maintenance of their trade. . They would no doubt co-operate again. It is no use crying over spilt milk bat' simply to show that these mea sures are feasible I heed only to re count that they were carried out for two years by the food administration and tho equalization board, of which I was chairman until last July. The impending sltuntlon was an ticipated by the board and myself last July. The continuance ot con trgl'and Insurance, of our supplies thru tho purchase of the Cuban crop as rri the twq previous years was rec ommended. When this proposal fail ed the board recommended the alter native and less efficient method out lined above. If it were put in action even now. it would frighten specula tors out of this market and wonld quickly moderate the price."
