Notwithstanding the fact that Senator
PETER Of Kansas IS supposed 10 devote
his whole time 10 the study Of wild and
reckless schemes that have made him
the boss crank Of the century. he finds
time. il seems. to do little odd job now
and then for. those Of his Kansas friends
who aided him in getting into a position
where he rattles around like a pea in
a pod.
Recently some OF the republican and
populst papers of tho west have been
particularly obnoxious to the Secretary
OF Agriculture. Mr.. Morton. in their COM
ments on the secretary's action In sell
ing the machinery Of sugar experiment
stations in Kansas. A day or two ago
the secretary was asked about the sale
Of this machinery. In the course of his
answer he said: Il don't believe there
was ever such a pure, unadulterated steal
as this sugar experiment business shows.
AS a matter Of fact the agricultural de-
partment has done nothing for three or
four years at any of the stations. and
nothing for four years in Kansas. The
experiment stations were discontinued
before l came into Office. But the dis
appearance of the machinery from the
stations was brought particularly to my
attention last winter by a letter from
Senator PETER. He seat me a bill to
give to anybody who might have pos
session Of it the machinery bought for
these stations, and asked my opinion of
it 1 answered that never having he
lieved in taxing the many for the benefit
of the few. 1 could not consent to the
passage Of such a bill"
Some idea of the extent of these ex-
periments by rthe government in the
making of sugar from beets may be
gained from the statement that congress
has appropriated $4,000 for beet sugar
experiments, chiefly in Kansas, and of
this amount $222, 7S7.51 was expended for
machinery. Apparently some of Senator
PETERS constituents grabbed good deal
of this valuable machinery, hence his
proposed bill to give the machinery to
anybody who might have possession of
it. He certainly intended to look out
for his Kansas friends TO the extent 81
his ability, whatever the cost to the
country might be.
Secretary Morton is having the ma
chinery sold, and the proceeds of the
sale turned into the treasury. If Sena-
tor PETERS friends want it they viii
have to buy it. 1t isn't Senator PETERS
fault, however, that they didn't get it
for nothing.
