' SUGAR BOWL IS
INCLUTCHESOF
GREEDY TRUST
DENVER, Jan. 23 (by Associated
0 Press).—Charging that “the nationa:
sugar bowl is in the clutches *of a
Bienacing trust,” the heads of sever
Western organizations of farmers
have called a three days’ national beel
growers’ convention, to meet here next
Monday.
The official cail for the gathering
•aid it would seek to devise ways and
means “to secure to ourselves a fair
and just portion of the enormous prof
its that result from the production of
sugar.”
Noting that the United States is pro
ducing less than one-fourth of the
sugar consumed b^ its citizens, the
( convention call declared “the sugar
trust, having developed among sugar
refining concerns located in our sea
board cities, has sought to throttle and
prevent the growth of the beet sugar
industry.”
The call is directed to “none but
bona fide farmers” of California, Col
orado, Idaho, Michigan, Montana, Ne
braska, Ohio, Utah, Washington, Wis
consin, Wyoming and other states.
"The sugar trust has been the
source of all the information furnished
our government concerning our sugar
supply and the possibilities of expand
ing the industry,” said the call. “This
trust has for years maintained its
lobby at the national capital and has
so controlled legislation as to secure
itself in its monopoly.
"In the stress of war the sugar trust
^ secured special privileges at the ex
pense of the beet sugar growers,
whereby it gained enormous profits.
Bren now the trust is so dominating
the situation as to impel the govern
ment to take action along lines which
will discouj-age the development of the
beet sugar industry by holding down
the price of sugar below the actual
©act of production.”
Representatives of several depart
ments of the government have been
invited to attend the conference at
Denver.
The call for the convention is signed
by the heads of the following organ
isations :
N. P. Petersen, Intermountain Farm
ers’ Association; C. H. Gustafesen,
Farmers’ Union of Nebraska; Grant
Slocum, Ancient Order of Gleaners;
J. M. Collins, Farmers’ Union of Col
* ©rado; J. H. Hicks, Mountain States
Beet Growers’ Association; William
Boack, Washington State Grange;
and John Morris, Colorado State
Grange.
CUSTOMS COLLECTOR OF
MEXICO BELIEVES IN
CLOTHES PSYCHOLOGY
JUAREZ, Mexico, Jan. 23 (by Asso
ciated Press).—J. Felipe Valle, cus
toms collector at this port, is a be
liever in the psychology of clothes.
For this reason he has asked the Mex
ican secretariat of the treasury to al
low him an appropriation of approxi
mately 2,000 pesos for uniforms for
himself and his inspectors.
“A dapper uniform tends to increase
&a official’s self-confidence,” Senor
dence,” Senor Valle said. ‘‘It also is
likely to keep the wearer out of gam
bling dens and saloons, for he does
not wish to shame his uniform. Finally
an official-looking suit increases the
respect of the public for law and or
der and for the man that is delegated
to enforce it.
