Sugar Trust Debate Prompts Duty Cut Talk by Senator Clay
Senator Clay of Georgia urged a substantial cut in duties on refined sugar describing how the beet and cane sectors are harmed by current policies. He attacked the Wayne bill’s sugar schedule and accused the American Sugar Refining Co. of near monopoly control. Clay claimed consumers pay $83 million yearly to the sugar trust and asserted if duties were lowered overall sugar costs would fall. He confronted Senator Smoot over a claim about Joseph F. Smith and Utah beet factories, denying the assertion.
