At this meeting we are to | they can be brought without injury, | | Chairman Underwood, of the Ways |and Means committee, was interrupt- |ed in his speech against the sugar tax | by a Louisiana member, who inquir- jed of Mr. Underwood, what he antic- jare correct until I can check up on|ipated would happen to the sugar in- dustry in Louisiana if the tax was re- moved from sugar. Mr. Underwood replied frankly that he did not know some will have more than one to| what would happen to the sugar in- ‘elect. They should meet within a/dustry of that state, but hoped it few days after the annual meeting | would survive, as it had done on pre- jand organize. This is necessary to | vious occasions. He added there was make the organization legal. Too of- one thing he did know, however, and that was that the total production of the administering of the oath of office sugar in Louisiona was less than one- tenth of the entire sugar consumption jn the United States, and that he did , ed again that it is not necessary to; not believe in the principle of taxing ‘administer the oath of office to him | 92,000,000 American citizens in order that a comparative few sugar produc- ers might make an extra profit. The Price of Sugar. The wholesale price of standard | | granulated sugar in New York on the, | day this item was written was $5.85_ per hundred pounds. One week ago, \today the price was $5.75, one month | lago today $5.45 and one year ago’ | $4.60. These figures are taken from | the Weekly Statistical Sugar Trade | Journal, the official publication of the | |sugar industry of the United States. | Whether the sugar trust finds it! | necessary to increase prices to reim-' | burse itself for the stolen millions it | | was forced to disgorge to the govern- | ment, : following the exposure of the | underweighing frauds, or whether | | the increases are really justified by a| | shortage of sugar production abroad, ; | is considered a debatable question by | |many. But the fact that the whole- sale price of sugar in London aver- ages two cents a pound less than in | New York the year round, shows be- |yond questidn the advantage in favor {of the consumers in the country where there is neither a sugar tarif | nora sugar trust. =| Two Sugar Trust Checks. | .
