WISCONSIN BEET
SUGAR INDUSTRY
Farmers Received 100000
from 1911 Beet Crop.
FOUR FACTORIES OPERATE
Over $50, 900 Tons We're Consumed
Last Season by Plants at Janes-
vile, Chippewa Falls, Madison and
Menomonee Falls.

Madison. - Although Wisconsin
ranks fifth in the United States as
a producer of sugar, it raises a great
deal less than is actually consumed
within its borders. During the past
year 100000 pounds were pro-
duced and refined in the state while
the actual Wisconsin consumption
during the same time was 100000
600 pounds, which at five cents per
pound totals $10,00O,00O or about
$4,000 a day.
The four factories in this state, To-
Gated at Menomonee Falls, Chippe-
wa Falls, GAINESVILLE and Madison,
each with a slicing capacity of 600
tons of beets per day, together with
the factory at Menominee, Mich,
which receives most of the beets from
this state, draw their supply from
$4,000 acres of land, which produce
twelve tons to the acre, or a total
of 100000 tons of sugar beets.
Plans are under way for the build
ing of other plants in the state, and
Winnebago county will undoubtedly
secure the next factory to be erected.
One of the Wisconsin plants will
increase its capacity from 600 to L.
600 tons this summer, according to
company officials. Farmers receive
from SIS to Sc per ton, according to
the sugar content of the beets, which
brings them annually $2,00O,00C
Aside from this about $50 men find
employment in the factories. The
first of the factories already named
was built in 1901, at Menomonee
Falls, and the latest, that at Madi-
son was erected in 1907.
Until within recent years it has
been difficult for sugar men to Sc
cure farmers to raise beets, but now
they have learned the value of this
crop and are becoming more willing
to devote ground for this purpose.
One of the arguments in favor of
beet raising is the fact that the soil
exhaustion is lie s than with most
other crops, as 1awn by the state
experiment station bulletin 1t is
found profitable, however, to rotate
the beet crop with others.

SENATOR IS SCORED
SENATE BODY CHARGES coRRUP-
TON I'M sTEPHENsoN ELEc-
TIoN is PROVED.
DEMAND VACATION OF SEAT
Committee Composed of Three Repub-
Iicans and Two Democrats, De-
clare Evidence Showed Conclusive.
ly Voters Were Paid.

Washington. = Declaring that to
give United States Senator Stephen
son of Wisconsin clear right to his
seat. is TO notify the world that we
are careless as to whether seats in
this body are to be bought and sold
as so much merchandise to the man
with the largest purse" five senators
presented a minority report against
Stephenson and brought squarely be-
fore the senate the issue of his re-
election.
The minority report is signed by
Senators Kenyon, Clapp and Jones,
Republican,. Lea and Kern, Demo
Gratis. 1t contends that enough evil
dence was adduced by the inquiry to
warrant the senate in declaring Sen
ator Stephenson's seat vacant.
Referring to the fact that the sena-
tor through his lieutenant spent $1O7.-
79S In his campaign and that candi-
dates for the state legislature spent
proportionately large sums, the report
quotes from the majority report:
Such expenditures were In viola
ton of the fundamental principles I'M
DERIVING our system of government,
which contemplated the selection OF
candidates by the electors and not by
the selection of electors by the can
didates."
Quoting again from the majority re-
port, which after summarizing the
election, declared that IL they had
been used by a candidate for a state
Office in Wisconsin 1T would be diff
cult to justify such conduct under the
laws of the state" the minority re-
port continues:
This statement we indorse. 1t
warrants our opposition to the conclu-
sion of the majority. II it would be
difficult to Justify campaign like this
by candidate for state Office why
Is 1t not equally difficult to justify it
on the part of Senator Stephenson?
He was not compelled to go into the
primary He elected to do so and he
should be held to the same degree OF
accountability as any other candidate
In that primary.
IF he used methods-and the ma
jority says he did-that it would be
d,1icult to justify ip behalf OF state
candidate, then 1t is equally difficult
for the senate to justify such conduct
on the part of candidate for seat
In this body and preserve its integ-
rity and honor In our judgment It
cannot do It."
"All this is admitted" says the re-
port, land we feel that we have right
to assume from these admitted facts
and actions that corrupt methods and
practices were used in connection
with said primary election. To hold
otherwise is to establish a precedent
that would authorize an expenditure
of hundreds of thousands Of dollars to
debauch the electorate to secure a
seat in this body. To do this is to
notify the world that we are careless
as to whether seats In this body are
to be bought and sold as so much mer-
chandise to the man with the largest
purse"

Washington.-The capital is aghast
over the extraordinary action Of Senior
Pedro del Ospina, minister Of Colon
bia to the United States, in making
public formal note he had sent to
Acting Secretary of State Huntington
Wilson saying the proposed visit of
Secretary Of State Knox to his country
on the latter's projected southern trip.
might be 'inopportune."
The Colombian minister, first draw
ing attention to the fact that the views
are his own, and not officially those of
the government, seriously criticises
the United States for not submitting
to arbitration the differences with Co.
lombia growing out of this govern
ment's acquisition of the Panama
canal zone
Inasmuch as the letter admittedly is
the personal expression of the minis
ter, written without having communi-
Gated with his government, 1t was re-
ceived at the state department in the
nature of personal insult to this gov
eminent.
In diplomatic circles 1t was believed
that Colombia. smarting under eight
gears of Intellectual attempts to Sc
cure arbitration of the canal zone diff
ferences, would confirm the unofficial
views Of her accredited representa-
tives.
A more profound sensation is looked
for, as 1t is believed that a termina-
ton of diplomatic relations between
this country and Colombia is In pros
pect.
Acting Secretary Wilson had ad-
vised Senior Ospina of the probable
itinerary of Secretary Knox. What is
said to have particularly aroused the
Colombian minister was reference to
the Republic of Panama in the timer
airy, country whose independence Co
lombia never has recognized.
He makes yelled reference to the
long delay of the United States in an
swering several notes addressed to 1t,
seeking arbitration, and charges that
this government has Disseminated
against Colombia in failing to give her
arbitration which the United States is
now offering to other members of the
family of the nations.
A tentative itinerary of Secretary
Knox makes provision for a stop at
Cartagena, Colombia, on March rs.
Senior 0spina was disposed to be-
lieve that his government would indi-
cate to the United States that a visit
from Secretary Knox would be untime-
ly unless the secretary caEe prepared
to promise an early arbitration Of diff
ferences He declared that his letter
summed up the position of Colombia
as conclusive.
