eighteen beet Sugar
Factories for the West.
Evidence Jnat Jne sugar truss anu

sugar uuty dIHerenual viii be re
pcaltd 10y the present congress is
offered by the disclosure OF plans
Tor the construction OF from twelve
10 eighteen new beet sugar factories
in the beet sugar producing states.
Information that appears to be
reliable is that the trust is plan
ming to erect large, new factories,
one each in southern Michigan,
Nebraska, Minnesota. Utah and in
southern Wyoming. and two in
southern Colorado. and that the
independents are planning to build
from six to twelve in the same re-
gion, where irrigation has brought
water on the hitherto arid lands.
A former employe of the trust is
authority for the assertion that rep
resentatives of the trust and the
independents are busy writing con-
tracts for a term of three years
with farmers who have sugar beet
lands. The proposed new factories
would indicate that the trust has.
or expects to have, under contract
Mt least $4,000 acres of sugar beet
lands in addition to those already
controlled. and that the independ-
ents expect to contract for from 49,
900 to 26.00o acres.
From a political viewpoint. it
appears to be the general impress
sion here that the amendment of
the sugar schedul in radical man
ner is demanded. That public SEN
timent has been worked up to
danPcrous pitch over alleged abuses
of congress in favor of the trust
is the opinion of many skilled poll
ticians. and IL is expected that when
the proposal TO amend the sugar
schedule comes up for vote
enough members of both houses
will support II to make 1t into
statute.

LObbied Through the ElSnteent1.
The Moffat Tunnel Bill has pass
ed the Eighteenth Assembly and it
now remains to be seen what Hon
est John will do about signing 1t.
The bill places a debt on Colorado
of four million dollars, to draw in
terest for fifty years, which means
twelve millions for the taxpayers
to dig up to aid a private enter
prise.
That the bill was lobbied through
both houses is stated, and seems to
stand without denial.
The excuse is made that il has
the referendum clause, but that is
but a lame one, for the measure
is so palpably a graft that even the
expense of submitting it to the
people seems an outrage. In this
eonhecuon also II is hlnted that
"JoKer" turks in the /. ana K. bill
which may render it imperative.
Gov. Shafroth has vetoed some
ether bills. 1t remains to be seen
what he will do with one of the
tunnel bills magnitude, sired by
graft and wetnursed by lobby. 1t
looks like chance for him to do
that which would TO some extent at
least, help uphold his more or less
questioned title of Honest john
veto the measure.
1t can be said to the praise of
both Delta county's senator and rep
resentative that they voted against
the Moffat Tunnel Bill. first, last

court at once.

ly in this effort to improve health con~
ditions here. The situation at this
time demands it.
DR.. Wade Chambliss, chairman Of
the Board, will also insist upon the
cutting down of noXious weeds upon
the streets and vacant lots. Here
disease and mosquitoes breed, and
such foul spots will be given a clean
ing.
