Sugar Trust Scheme Threatens Treasury Revenue
The Tribune cites a Chicago report detailing a proposed sugar schedule scheme to water sugar and lower saccharine strength to dodge higher duties. By adding water or other material before import, saccharine content drops, reducing duty per pound and risking millions in lost revenue across the 2,000,000 tons imported annually. The plan, described as legitimate by proponents, could net the trust about 3.36 dollars per ton, totalling tens of millions under either conference or house schedules.
