Sugar Quota System With An Excise Tax Proposed by F. D. R.
Washington Mar. 1 President Roosevelt asked Congress to enact a sugar quota system financed by a raw sugar excise tax of at least three fourths of a cent per pound. Estimated $100 million annual revenue would fund resumed benefit payments to sugar producers. He assured the tax would not raise consumer sugar prices. He urged child labor prevention and a minimum wage standard within the new system. The Jones Costigan act, continued in principle, allocated annual sugar consumption among beet and cane producers and insular suppliers in Hawaii and the Philippines.
