Hon. Duncan F. Kenuer of Louisiana,
he Southern representative on the Tariff
,ommission, expresses much satisfaction
with the work accomplished by that
)ody. Referring to the proposed mod
fication of the augar tariff proposed by
he Commission, he says that when the
eport is properly digested and under
tood, "no grower of sugar in Louisiana B
will have any cause for complaint. It
adjusts and harmonizes inequalities
which previously existed." Although
here is an apparent reduction of from
ifteen to thirty-five per cent. in the
.resent tariff contemplated by the re
sort, Mr. Kenner has no hesitation in ex
pressing the belief that the introduction
)f the polariscope test and the equaliza
:ions suggested will render the effect of
tho amended tariff spun Louisianasugars
almost infinitesimal. Open kettle sugars
ire more likely to be affected than
those producedby the centrifugal pro
.ess, but even these will not suffer seri
)usly.
Congressman Darrall of this District
Ias expressed the opinion that the
adoption by Congress of the schedule of
sugar duties proposed by the Tariff
Dommission will not materially injure
the sugar interests of our State.
