Show Senators Smoot nnd Sutherland and Representative Howell aro agreed as t( their position on tho bill for tho reduction of tho tariff on sugar from tho Philippine Islands. They will vot? against tho mcasuro for tho roason that If passed Its operation would bo decidedly hurtful to tho largo and growing sugar Industry of not only. Utah, but Idaho and other western states. Protective tariff is a sectional affair and there Is no reason why tho west should not havo a sharo of the benefits as well as the moro extensive manufacturlcs of tho oast. Tho attitude atti-tude of Utah's congressional representatives repre-sentatives will bo npproved by a very largo proportion of their constituents. Of course, tho knocking Tribune will carp and find fault, but it would do that no matter what tho Utah delegation delega-tion did. Tho sheet for a while has been paving tho way so that It could disapprove, no matter which side of tho Philippine bill our representatives were found upon. |
