A. THE PRODUCE AND AID TO FARMERS Consumers Taxed for Benefit of Factories, Not Beet Growers. WOOL BENEFITS QUESTIONED Fair Tariff League Head Says Beets Are Not Important American Crop. By H. E, MILES, Chairman of the Fair Tariff League. Sugar In the beet, the product of the farm, Is given a protection of H% ad valorem in the Fordney Tariff Bill now before Congress. Refined sugar, the product of the beet sugar factory, is protected with a specific rate equivalent to from 80% to 100% ad valorem on the basis of present prices, For example, the Michigan sugar factory receives a prohibitive protec- tion against the importation of the product of the Canadian sugar factory, but the Michigan sugar beet farmer recelves practically no protection against the Canadian sugar beet. In view of this farmers are asking if the 60% Increase in the tariff on Cuban raw sugar contained In the Fordney Tariff Bill is an effort to pro- tect the farmer or an effort to pay a further bonus to an already sufficient- ly protected beet sugar industry. All farmers use sugar. They usually buy it in 100 pound sacks. Every time a farmer buys a sack of sugar he pays $2.00 as the result of the tariff on sugar. Half of this goes to the Gov- ernment and half of it to the beet sugar manufacturer. This is true because we consume in this country twice as much sugar as we make, but the price of sugar to the farmer is the Cuban price plus the tariff. But the farmer pays this price on both the domestic sugar and the foreign sugar. Therefore the farmer pays half of this tax to the Govern ment and half to the manufacturer of beet sugar In this country. Sugar Beets a Minor Product The farmer might feel that he was getting some benefit out of this If the raising of sugar beets was actually an Important American agricultural pur- suit. This, however, is not the case. The crop acreage of sugar beets for 1920 was 692,455. The crop acreage for peanuts was 1256,000, almost dou- ble the acreage devoted to the cultiva tion of sugar beets. The following table indicates the importance of the acreage devoted to | sugar beets as compared with certain other crops: Sugar beets ...... 692,455 Buckwheat ...... 739,000 Clover seed ..... . 843,000 Sweet potatoes... 1,042,000 RICE cconcrsrsrrse 1,091,800 Bye ..c.s0 Savivase 1,103,000 PeanuiS ..aesvsse 1,256,000 Flaxseed ..seees. 1,572,000 TODRCCO .vvs:: ree 1,910,800 Irish potatoes.... 8,952,000 Batley .....ee: vn 7,198,000 Cotton: seers vrvee 83,566,000 Oats trenuse .. 41,835,000 Hay. +.eesssses.. 56,552,000 Wheat .......... 72,308,000 COTY vi osnsivscnsss 100,072,000 Even those farmers who raise sugar beets might properly ask In what way their interests are being protected by an increase in the duty on Cuban sugar. It Is currently rumored that the contract price paid the farmer for sugar beets during the coming season will be from $5.00 to $5.50 a ton. The average pre-war price with the tariff at 1c was $5.57, approximately the price that will be patd farmers during the coming season with the tariff increased 60%. Very few farmers grow wool, but all farmers wear clothes. American grown wool, the product of the Ameriggn farm, 1s one of the chief rallying cries of the high tariff exponent. Fallacy of Wool “Protection” Farmers are clad In mid-winter mostly In cotton and shoddy, and yet the woolen manufacturer today Is given 45 cents a pound protection on the entire welght of the farmers clothing on the basis that it-is all wool. He passes this additional cost on to the farmer, but gives the wool grower about one-third of tls 45 cents In In- creased price of wool. A foreign plece of men’s sulting weighing eighteen ounces to the yard 18 40% cotton, 80% wool and 30% wool shoddy, costing on the present rate of exchange $1.09 a yard. A com- parable domestic fabric costs $1.75. Under the Fordney Tariff the duty would be 24% of this $1.75, or 42c; the weight duty at 39¢c a pound, 33%c, and the landing charge 9%c, making the foreign fabric cost here $1.95. Under the present Emergency Tariff, with its 45¢ & pound weight duty, the fabric would cost $2.98 as against the American price of £1.73. The wool grower would get 15¢ pro tection per pound instead of the 45: weight duty, the manufacturer keep- ing 80c of the welght duty, but charg: ing the farmer who buys clothing the full 45¢. The American farmer should be In- terested to find out why it is that his common agricultura! implements man ufactured in the United States can be bought for less by the European farm- er than he has to pay for them, thanks to the protective tariff. For instance, he should inquire why he has to pay $8.91 a dozen for a shovel manufactured in this country while the identical shovel exported can be nought In Europe for-$7.50. With these facts in mind it Is time that the American farmer let himself be heard In protest against a protec tive tariff which most emphatically does not glve him a square deal. —— Gr Q——— Here's a Bargala 1 have just listed a very desirable truck farm on Longenecker road, Mt.

LOW WAGES ARE BEING PAID “Yankees Not Wanted,” Say Field Managers in Cotorado and Michigan. By H. E. MILES, Chairman of the Fair Tariff League. The American farmer and the American worker are always the chief objects of solicitude, put forward by the high tariff politicians, when an up- ward revision of the tariff is in order. That has always been true and Is now true In Congress in connection with ef- forts to enact the high rates in the Fordney so-called Permanent Tariff Bill. The farmer as well as the worker, however, has come to realize that any benefit he may derive from an exorbi- tant tariff, levied In the name of pro- tection on an article which he pro- duces, 1s more than offset by the tribute which he must pay on artl- cles which he consumes but does not raise, Sugar 18 a good example of how this works out with reference to the farm- er. The American beet sugar Industry prospered under a protective tariff of one cent a pound on Cuban raw sugar. The Emergency Tariff Act Increased this 60 per cent. One of the arguments advanced for this tremendous Increase was that the beet sugar Industry need- ed this protection In order to protect the American farm laborer engaged In raising sugar beets. Unfortunately for this argument there Is very little American farm labor in the beet sugar Industry as the rec- ords of the Department of Labor and the Department of Agriculture show. Sugar beets are ralsed and harvested almost entirely by the cheapest grade obtainable of foreign labor, contracted for by the sugar manufacturers and turned over to the beet growers, Field bosses In the beet sugar sec- tions have Indeed frequently told in- vestigators that American labor IS not wanted because “a Yankee can't stand the hard work.” Child Labor In Majority | Not only is the larger part of the beet sugar labor this low priced for-| elgn labor which we are warned against but even a larger part are the | children of these foreign families. | In Colorado alone, one of the most | fmportant heet sugar states, the Na- | tional Child Labor Committee found 5,000 children between the ages of six | and fifteen years, practically all of | alien parents, regularly engaged In the ! cultivation of sugar beets. From the time the beets are In the ground until they are delivered at the| bor is required. Ayd much of this Is done by small children, These children spend long, hard hours on their hands and knees weeding and thinning the | beets. Then when the heets are full grown they spend more long, hard hours lifting the Leavy roots to thelr knees and with a wide sweep of a dan- gerously sharp lenife cut off the tops. The Federal ('Lilhien’s Burean made an Intensive study of ¢he Colorado sit- nation. Of 1,077 Included in this study seven-tenths were the children of con- tract lahorers. Over one-fourth of them were under ten years old, a small percentage under eight, Less than one-fifth were as much as fourteen vears old. Considergbly over a half ranged from nine to thirteen. Fron 69 to 85 per cent, according to the process in which the child was engag- ed, worked nine hours or more a day From one-seventh to one-third, again varylng with the process, worked eleven hours or more a day. The average working day for all processes was usually between nine and ten hours. Evil Effect on Children Postural deformities and malposi- tions were fofind in 70 per cent of the children examined by the Bureau's physicians, Another serious effect Is the Interference with thelr educa- tion. Among 930 children from nine to sixteen years of age for whom school records were obtained over 40 per cent were from one to seven years below the normal grade for their age. The general study of the Natlonal Child Labor. Committee In Colorado and Michigan Indicates that these con- ditions hold generally throughout the beet ralsing sections. A farmer who owns or leases land contracts with the sugar company to furnish a certain number of acres on which beets are to be grown, The company agrees to fur- nish the hand laber. The company then contracts with a laborer, usually a Russian, Jap or Mexican, to do the work on a definite number of acres. The number of acres a laborer con- tracts to care for is based largely on the number of children he has, The labor employed In the Colorado beet fields is practically all foreign la- bor, Mexican, Japanese and Russian The Mexicans and Japanese, however, do not work their children as much as do the Russians. The Russian chil- dren often hegin work as early as four or five years of age. In Michigan conditions are very sim- flar, excepting that the nationalities of the workers are more diversified, and there are fewer Russians and Mex- lcans and no Japanese. They are made up largely of Hungarlans, Slavs from the small prov’'nces, Polish and Germans. In Michigan, as in Colora- do, the beet people are exploiting the toreign laborer and his children. All of which prett; thoroughly punc- tures any pretense that a high tariff on sugar will In any way protect Amer {can farm labor. ats. tpt i rere tl Qs A Wonderful Bargain Undoubtedly the best bargain I have had in several years.
