ROBIN EX A TORS opposed to the ship subsidy bill HOODS IN have won their filibuster in the United SENATE States Senate. In the early days pirates who seized treasure laden galleons were called filibusterers. That is where the term, as applied to tactics in the Senate, originated. Taking advantage of parliamentary rules, a minority group can, by invoking delays, prevent a measure from coming to a vote when but a few days of a session remain. By making long speeches, when the right of speech is unlimited, they can talk a measure to death. Naturally, the victims of a filibuster say it is unfair. Some Senators who worked to defeat the ship subsidy bill agree that the filibuster is unjustifiable. Senator Underwood, Democratic leader, fdr one, took this position. lie said the majority, vested with responsibility for legislative action, should not be thwarted in this way. The filibusterers’ argument was this: “The ship subsidy bill passed the House only because lame ducks, who in the last election were repudiated by the voters, cast their ballots for it. It could pass the Senate only if voted for by defeated Senators whose terms expire in a few days. The majority of citizens are against the subsidy, and they have said so at the polls. This filibuster was merely to prevent the public’s decision from being thwarted by a group of Senators about to retire. Isn’t that fair?” Generally speaking, a filibuster is a form of parliamentary free-booting no longer justifiable. But equally unjustifiable is the practice of defeated Senators enacting measures disapproved by the public. This time, the parliamentary pirates appear in the role of “Robin Hoods” defeating the unscrupulous tax-grabbers and aiding the poor. % FIGURING TT-vOPULATIOX of our country now is 110 railFUTURE lions and will be 120 millions by 1930. estiFOOD JL mates National Bureau of Economic Research.

Stage All Set for Gigantic Sugar ‘Gouge’ This Year by Manipulators of Stock Market

Speculators Say 'Shortage' —Government Says ‘No,’

BY JOHN CARSON |-|.r ASHING TON, Feb. 24.—The stage now appears all set for * ” the great half billion sugar ottge this year by market pianipulators. Following enactment of the high sugar tariff, sugar stocks on Wall St. have become turbulent, and traders are all talking “profits in sugar.” But the main will come from consumers and will go to the speculators who engineered the sugar combine. Already their paper profits appear to be something like $500.000,000, while each additional cent added to the price of sugar promises item about $50,000,000 additional profits. Raw sugar was selling a year ago at less than 2 cents a pound. That was. however, an abnormally low price. Today raw sugar has jumped in more than 5 cents a pound and the refined sugar which you got from your grocer a few months ago for 7 cents and T 1 c*nts a pound has gone to SU and 5 cents a pound and the price now predicted is 10 cents a pound at least. . The refiners have quoted X. 7 cents a pound and threatened a cents. That will mean more than 10 cents a pound to the consumer. Ten cents a pound on sugar to the consumer wall mean a I! cent advance
