Sugar investment vs tax burden in sugar policy debate
A historical critique compares the US sugar investment at about 100 million dollars with an annual consumer tax of 140.9 million dollars from sugar duties, arguing the 2-cent tariff benefits sugar lobbies while producing a 1.6 dollar per person yearly burden and a 1.2 billion dollar over 16-year surplus to financiers. It contrasts beet and cane sugar costs, noting Cuba’s higher sucrose content and cheaper production, urging removal of duties.

Red Murray Star of Notre Dame and Giants Baseball
Red Murray, once Notre Dame catcher, became a famed outfielder and hitter for the New York Giants. A 1905 Notre Dame game against Indiana showcased his power with a line drive over the left fielder into the stands, a feat long remembered. Murray’s speed and fielding helped define his major league impact, though analysts debate whether his best value was as catcher or outfielder.

Few Americans Speak Spanish Recruits for Latin America Abroad
The Bureau of Education notes many Latin American teaching posts will go to foreigners due to a shortage of Americans fluent in Spanish. With salaries up to 2400 dollars, Panama and other countries seek professors in industrial arts agriculture and veterinary medicine. U.S. colleges report few graduates choosing Spanish and many candidates lacking conversational ability. The shortage of language-trained teachers limits international opportunities and raises questions about foreign-language education in the United States.
