THE TARIFF IN ITS RELATION TO THE SUGAR-BEET INDUSTRY HISTORY OF THE TARIFF RATES ON SUGAR AND SUGAR BEETS The tariff on sugar beets has never compared in importance with the tariff on sugar. Because of their bulkiness the shipment of beets for long distances is not economical, and the only imports have consisted of a small movement of Canadian beets across the border to domestic factories, a movement insignificant in comparison with sugar imports. During the period 1921-1925, the average annual value of imports of sugar beets approximated $136,000 and the aver- age annual value of imports of sugar was about $267,000,000. The duty on sugar beets under the various tariff acts since 1894 has ranged from the equivalent of 5 to 25 per cent ad valorem. Under the present duty of 80 cents per ton, imports have continued to be small, even though the ad valorem equivalent of the duty in the period 1922-1925 was only 1314 per cent, and the ad valorem equivalent of the duty on sugar was much higher; the duty on Cuban 05° and 96° centrifugals during the same period equalled 45 and 46 per cent ad valorem, respectively. Imports of these two grades during that time constituted 95 per cent of the total imports of sugar, so that these rates may be considered as representative. Table 6 shows the rates of duty on sugar beets and on sugar in effect since 1909, together with the ad valorem equivalents. The duty on 95° and 96° centrifugals from Cuba is given. In 1925, because of the low prices of sugar, the ad valorem equivalents of these duties rose from 41 per cent in 1924 to 68 and 69 per cent.
