WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 18.—
Again the trust! It is cnarged that
the International harvester trust
which depends for its twine mostly
on the growers of Mexican hemp in
Yucatan has bene the instigator 01
the revolt against Carranza in that
section of Mexico. Men and av> i <jr
as well as arms and ammunition are
being traced by Mexicans to this
kindly trust.
A democratic caucus Was held
yesterday and it assures the repeal |
of the free sugar cluase from the
Underwood tariff bill.
The Influence of the soutnern cane
growers as well as the expenses ox
the administration have been able 'o
force this repeal when it comes up
for consideration.
Owing to war time conditions
and the enormous expenses foreseen
by reason of the administration's
defense plans, it is quite possible
that olhbr tariffs may he retained or
imposed lor revenue purposes.
It i3 certain that there will be
much opposition to the imposition
of a '.ax on internal combustion en
gines. As has been well said it :s
nominally directed against the auto
mobile owners but it affects the
farmer more seriously than anyone,
as the use of internal combustion
tractors is now, espccilly in the
west, well nigh universal. There is
hardly a farm west of the Mississippi
which does not use an internal com
bustion engine.
