Money in Bcets

The following Item entitled
Money In Beets" appeared not
long ago in n California newspaper
and in view of the immensely Of
the beet sugar industry In this sec
ton and from the sentiment now
prevailing to raise beets with the
assured returns not being effected
by market conditions. the article is
worthy of repetition here. II is
straight to the point:
IAN assured price for ones crop
will be a big inducement to plant
beets. the price of which is contract
ed for previous to even sowing the
seed. Potatoes piled under straw
in the fields. grains in stacks and
huge piles of hay under board
shelters testify in a mute but Wig
orous manner to q present lack of
ready money: and until these crops
are moved there won't be any cap
ital Tor those to come. There is
Lot much satisfaction in raising a
crop and then having It remain on
ones hands as It has done this
year But infinitely worse is the
planting of the same crops again
with almost certain outlook of
stagnant market at the time Of har-
vesting. And where Is the money
to come from that is to gather the
crop.
''The wise farmer will rotate
with beets this year. Not only is
he sure Of his money. but he 10
helping his land. Grain year after
year depIetes the land and des-
troys the best physical condition.
Put beets in this year and you
will not only be pleased but act
ually astonished at the difference
it will make In your yield. The
deeper plowing. the ramifying root
lets of the beets, and the increas-
ed cultivation will not only restore
your land but 1t will rest 1t as
----- llcw never can.

Preliminary Troubles With the In
itiafive

Some Of the legislative chicks are
coming home to roost. Last fall
the propaganda in behalf of the
Initiative and referendum was car
ried on with q vigor and persist
ence une1ampled in this state. The
result Of this was that the amend
-ment to the constitution was car
ried by a large majority.
Many opponents of the imtiativ,
pointed out that the expense of
publishing these laws would be q
great burden upon the taxpayers oi
the sta.e. But the determination
seemed to be to get the Initiative
regardless of cost
Now the expense seems to be
coming home to some OF the ad
vocates of the law. Senator Skin
ner. of this county. has introduced
various bills bearing upon the sub
ject. In one of these he proposes
that all initiated and referred laws
shall be published in pamphlet form
as Is done in the Oregon law. This
will require another amendment
to the constitution for the one
which the people adopted last fall
provides that ''these laws shall be
published in the same manner that
constitutional amendments are pub
Hshed." to-wit: in one paper. in
each county, in the state.
Senator Skinner has also two
or three other proposed laws bear
ing upon this subject. In one he
proposes that these initiated laws
shall be published in only one
paper of the state. having a gen.
eral circulation. This. of course.
would mean a Denver paper and.
90 far as apprising the people oil
the state as a whole. as to the
terms and contents of these laws,
1t would be a farce. for not one
tenth of the people Of Colorado
read any one Denver paper.
Skinner has yet another measure
In which he proposes that II these
laws are published in the various
counties, as was proposed by the
amendment which the people adopt
ed last fall. that the rate shall be
one-hak OF the present legal rate.
This Is perhaps as striking an
example Of back-action law-making
as the people of this state have
witnessed in many a day. Not a
aaw has yet been initiated or refer
red to the people and yet three
amendments are proposed already
to cover defects in the measure
adopted last fall with a hip. hip.
hurrah.
The real facts of the matter are
tha. the Democratic party is not
proving faithful to its allies on the
initiative. 1t is welching at the
first opportunity. 1t went up and
down the state urging every news
paper to support the Initiative and

The deadlock on United States

.nre of the situation is the fact
that not one of the men receiving
he larger number of votes rep
resent in any way the democratic
platform of last year. In other
words Speer and Adams the lead

state affairs has seen fit to hold
up the names of Edward Keating
and Blair Burwell as members OF

prise on the citizens today by coming

ly pruned, and presenting an alto
gether different appearance from his

This abrupt departure from Mr..

Ed into a nearby barber shop, where
the change was wrought, and before
the town has entirely recovered from
this surprise, Mr.. Sturtevant expects
to have him dressed in brand new

the change more than Mr.. Hicks him
self and rose festival day this year
