The tart tabloid is the latest gimmick in a bitter lobbying war over the federal sugar program. Opponents say the program enriches a handful of growers while costing consumers $1.4 billion a year in inflated prices for sweetened foods and drinks. Supporters say it helps keep U.S. growers in business at no cost to taxpayers while ensuring a stable, inexpensive supply of sugar for consumers. Both sides did their part to keep the sugar debate on the table Tuesday.

Larry Craig, R-Idaho and co-chairman of the Senate Sweetener Caucus, was cautiously optimistic that the program would survive. However, he warned the growers of sugar cane, sugar beets and corn that "you must stick together." Craig noted that Sen. Judd Gregg, has introduced a bill to repeal the sugar program and has 14 co-sponsors. In the House, sentiments are uncertain because 70 percent of the members were not in office five years ago, when the last sugar program was reauthorized in a farm bill.

Unlike many farm subsidies, the sugar program is financed through grower assessments rather than by taxpayers. It limits imports to maintain prices for domestic sugar. "This is not a budget issue," Craig said at the convention of the American Sugar Alliance. However, opponents say the program levies a hidden tax on consumers by artificially raising the prices of sweetened products. The Sweetener Users Associa omer iooa and annk manufacturers, are leading a campaign to" abolish the program and have been; joined by groups representing, consumers, taxpayers and environmentalists.

These opponents distributed. The Bittersweet Times featuring a column called "News and Notes from Big Sugar's Con- vention: Lifestyles of the Rich and; Richer." At the Sugar Alliance conveiv tion, House Agriculture Commits tee Chairman Pat Roberts, said he was "troubled by: some of the tactics" that have; been used in the lobbying fight' over the farm I "I've never seen a more hos-; tile or difficult climate in regards! to agriculture," Roberts said. Craig said the "consumer argument is a false argument." "Ask (manufacturers) if: they're willing to take a the price of a candy bar or bottle of! pop" if the sugar program is re-' pealed, he said, adding that the, answer would be "no."

"Each of the big three networks went on a major campaign after Murdoch made his bids and they are substantially through signing up their affiliates for the next 10 years," Reidy said.

"That probably puts Fox bidding against CBS." WPEC's contract with CBS has years left, Peterson said. Reidy said ABC is another though less likely potential contender because the network said weeks ago it wants to go on a buying binge. It would benefit by moving its signal to WPEC's stronger VHF position. The law restricts station ownership by networks to 25 percent fgn. currency Prev.

"We don't like to play gotcha after the fact," said O'Neal. The office searches for people who owe intangible tax by checking with the IRS, brokerage firms and state corporate income tax returns. The department also searches voter registration records, driver license records and homestead exemption certificates to find people who claim residency but aren't paying the intangible tax. "Pay it and pay it on time," advised Joanne Brozic, district manager for Block in West Palm Beach. Individuals should look over their assets for possible exemp TAXES From 5B based on the value of their assets as of Jan.

1. The tax applies primarily to mutual funds, stocks, bonds and notes. But if a person loaned money to a friend, the money owed is considered an intangible asset. The tax rate varies depending on the amount of property held. For individuals with less than $100,000 of intangible property, the rate is $1 for every $1,000 of assets.

The rate climbs to $2 for every $1,000 for property over $100,000. For couples, the rate climbs to $2 at $200,000. Though the payments are usually low, the penalties for filing late are hign. Late filers rrSust pay a fee equal to 30 percent of the tax due. The department can also tack on tions, Brozic said.

Treasury bills are automatically exempt from the tax, as are Florida municipal bonds. Note the assets separately, Brozic said. Brokerage firms can break down a municipal bond fund to tell the investor how much of that fund is made up of Florida municipal bonds and thus how much of that bond fund is exempt. If people are unsure about what is taxed, they can check with a tax preparer, with their broker or with the public library. The state department of revenue also has information available.

The state collected $687 million in intangible tax revenue for the 1993-94 fiscal year. Under the state's revenue sharing plan, Palm Beach County is estimated to receive about $20.8 million for the 1994-95 school year.
