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. '

PORTLAND, May 13. "Tbo state
highway' commission Is not asking
for more money," said R. A. 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. I .

PORTLAND, May 13. 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."
