Save the Beet Sugar Industry.

The development OF the beet sugar
industry in Colorado has been made
possible only by a protective tariff
On this point all of the witnesses be
fore the congressional committee at
Washington, now probing into the
sugar business in this country, are
agreed. In fact, number of the
more prominent manufacturers have
definitely stated that sugar beets can
not be raised at profit without the
protecting arm of national legisla-
ton. 1t IS probably true that the re
moval OF the duty would tend to
make cheaper sugar for the masses.
but the reduction would be insignih-
cant in this state compared to the
losses following the destruction OF
one OF its greatest industries. AZ
the present time vast areas OF the
semi-arid regions of the West are un
der cultivation as the direct result OF
the Development OF this comparative
" new industry and millions. OF dol
lars have been invested in factories
giving employment to thousands, oil
men. But only a beginning has been
made. If the tariff tinkers will leave
the sugar Schedule alone the industry
may assume proportions as yet un
dreamed Of. And with the growth oil
the business land values will continue
to rise.-Colorado Springs Gazette.
