* , WELCOME TO ROTARIANS
Ifl The Banner-Herald desires to extend, on behalf of
jJth'e citizens of Athens, a most cordial and hearty wel-
g 1 come to the city to every visiting Kotnran. The Ro-
ifltarians tare an Unselfish organization of men who
"""it service befdre self and their object in life is to
itter Condition? and help to make life easier and
easanter for mankind. The meeting here Friday

J J loyal as there are in the country.
■ 1923 WILL BE A PROSPEROUS YEAR
- Notwithstanding that some sections of the country
■ ‘.may experience short crops caused by the season and
Eljgbor 'conditions, there is no getting away from the
j I fact that the whole country is in a prosperous condi-
( |jtioh. and normalcy is being restored. Employment
M generally is better. Industries are running on full
EK&riie and many of the mills of the country are operat-
} Ring both day and night, Construction has increased
UigePprevious years and regardless of the high price
( of material and labor, there is more building going on
( throughout the country than at any time in many
.{years. The railroads are operating extra freight .
Tltxains and placing orders for more engines and freight
j {(cars, besides much repairing and rebuilding of roads.
' i|The farmer is receiving a profitable price for all he
1 grows and there is a constantly increasing demand for
i Ball foodstuff? raised. Home consumption is on the in-
i 11 crease aiid with plenty of bread and meat raised at
flhome, conditions are bound to improve very rapidly.
I . Compare the first three months of this year with
1 those of last year and you will find that the banks
show large increases and that every line of com-
ijmerce and manufacturing industries show a wonder
ful growth and increase.
That better times are here no one can deny and,
that better times are coming cannot be disputed, lne
country is rich in resources and our people are dc-
Termlned to develop and increase in every way possi
ble the advantages possessed. , .
The Predictions from the ablest financiers of the
nation arc all favorable and the general belief is that
1923 will be a prosperous year. Let us do our part
to bring about such conditions and it may be depend
ed that everything hoped for in improvement?
ill be realized before the end of the year.

- SUGAR AND THE PROTECTIVE TARIFF
What difference does it mako if it is good Democratic

OiKwer jt, they can at least tell the American house
wives who is to blame for the rise in sugar. ■ And let
the talk'be the unvarnished and the unwhitewashed
ft,™ ;i s the question: The Republicans are claim
ing that the tariff has hair nothing to do with the
skyrocketing of the sugar market, but here is the plain
stutemeht of facts set forth by the National Demo-
fcrntic Committee in connection \vith the situation
which has developed. Incidentally, it may be said
that the administraion has been considerably con
cerned about the condition of affairs and it is nq
wonder-that it has.
Fine granulated sugar is selling for export at about
fe6.50 per hundred pounds f. o. b. New York.
Fine granulated rugar for domestic consumption is
selling at wholesale in'New York for abqut $9 per
hundred* pounds.
1 a
, The sugar for export is refined in this country un
der bond, and since it is to be shipped abroad, pays
no duty! The sugar sold to Americans is taxed at the
rate of $1.7648 per hundred pounds.
There-’is a difference of $2140 a hundred pounds
between-sugar which pays the tariff and sugar which
- is duty free.
What'explains this difference of $2.40 a hundred,
jl or two apd four-tenths cents per pound?
f Will qnyone deny that the tariff Recounts for at
lqart $2 of this $2.40 per hundred pounds of sugar?
