Agriculturists Present a
Formal Protest Against
Bill to Give Beet Sugar
Men $4,000 : Opposition
to Appropriation Said to
Be Organized and Commit
tee Is Against It.

The beet sugar bounty appropria-
ton bill pending in the house must
run the gamut of organized opposition
from the farmers of the state.
The sugar bounty bill now before
the house is a duplicate of the meas
ures introduced at the last session for
an appropriation of approximately
10000, to be used in paying a bounty
awarded by the legislature of 1899.
The Minnesota Sugar company, st.
Louis Park, which is the beneficiary
of the bill, claims that the measure
provides simply for the fulfllment of
contract between the state and the
company.
The bill was killed two years ago
without the farmer opposition coming
to the surface. The measure has since
changed hands, and the farmers are
evidently afraid it will in consequence
be in better odor with the legislators.
The result is organized opposition in
those counties where the beet sugar
Industry was started and the beet
growers and the sugar company be-
came involved in disputes over set
Elements.
The first evidence of the organized
opposition put in it's appearance in
the house yesterday in the shape of a
formal protest from the farmers of
Norwood, Carver county, who held a
mass meeting and framed their OBJ
Jections to the bill in a petition to the
legislature.
Charge Unfair Treatment.
The petition alleges that the sugar
company treated the farmers unfair
ly and despoiled them Of any profit
on their beets through -exorhitant de-
auctions for dirt, ETC., under the GEN
eraI head of tare, which sometimes
amounted to half the consignment.
Members from the agricultural
counties say the movement is general
and that similar petitions will be sent
IN from other counties where the
farmers were induced to grow beets
Tor the st. Louis Park-eoncern.
Ihe effect of the opposition of the
farmers was very plainly shown at a.

committee yesterday afternoon

told they could have but one hearing.

The committee would hear all they
had to say, but would listen only once.
They decided to wait for another
meeting, when some of the officers of
the concern could be present. When
they announced their decision to de-
lay several members suggested that
one time would do as well as another.
with the plainly implied information
that the bill would not be allowed to

State Department Learns OF Alexan-

Washington Dec. 9.-The state de
partment has received . brief cable
gram from CDnSu! Davies at AleSan-

had hal trouble with the local police
al Aleyardretta and had left for Beirut
in consequence.
The state department promptly ca

tinople, to institute thorough inves-
tigntion Of the whole affair. II is ex-
pected that Minister LeShman will
call III the foreign office Immediately
to inquire OF the Turkish officials re-
gdldng fhe matter.
The navy department has so far
taken no steps toward sending any
warships to t!exanlretta. though the
state department officials informed
the navy department of what had hap
pened At that place. The San Fran
cisco and the Brooklyn are at Beirut,
which is distant i40 miles from Alex
andrctta.
The state department does not an
ticipate any serious difficulty as a re-
suit Of this incident, for it does not
doubt that the Turkish government
will make proper amends for any mis-
conduct Of its officials at Alexan-
dretta. The state department has had
endless trouble with naturalized Ar
menians who insist on returning to
Turkey, Notwithstanding the fact that
the Turkish government has steadfast-
ly refused to recognize the right of a
Turkish subject to expatrfate himself.
and the most that our ministers and
consuls have been able to do in such
cases is to secure the release of the
naturalized Armenian or Turk upon
promise 10 quit Turkey.
