ELECTORAL REFORM SCHEME
OPPOSED IN CONSEII. IS

Paris.-The summer session of the
"Counseils Genereaux" opened recent
~. In most of the departments cleo
toral reform in the light of proper
tional representation was the chief
subject discussed and the views emit
ted left little doubt as to the opin-
ions of most Of the councillors on the
subject.
In the Indirect Loire the following
resolution was adopted: That con-
siderating proportional representation
to be the antithesis of universal suf-
frage the council petitions that this
reform, instigated by the worst enc
mics of the republic, be refused by
the senate.
The departments of Eure and Of
Haute Marne passed resolutions to
the same effect. Thirty councillors Of
the Charente Inferieure, including
their president, Emile Combes, de-
cIared that they considered the pro-
iected electoral reform as great
danger to the republic, and protest
ed energetically against the adoption
of this importation from foreign coun-
tries as being radically opposed to
the political system whicn has for
basis the law Of majorities.
The opening of the session In the
department of Ain was marked 5y
remarkable incident DR.. Camille
Reudin, brother of the Baudin.
hero of the barricades, delivered d
strong speech in which he declared
proportional representation to be a
direct attempt on the republic AMI n
violation of her constitution. At the
close OF the speech the perfect of the
department protested against the ex-
pressions used by DR.. Baudin declar-
ing that 1t would be impossible for
m to remain in the council should
a government measure be stayled a
danger to the republic.
In Savoy Antoine Perrier declared
that the whole question of electoral
reform was one which caused serious
anxiety, but he hoped that the SEN
ate would find a means of agreement
between those holding reasonable
opinions both on the side OF univer-
sal suffrage and proportional repre-
scr alton.

NOT ASHAMED TO
TAKE THE MONEY

So then, this is the season of
the year when Mr.. and Mrs. Tax
payer receive their notices en-
tightening them as to the amount
of their taxes for the year 1911.
The happy pair are amazed, for,
after foregoing needed repairs on
the little HOMECOMING to poor re-
turns on potatoes-and other saw
ing and small economies, they find
that their taxes for 1911 are in ex-
cess of those for 1910.
How to further reduce ones liv-
ing expenses that the taxeaters
may grow fat, is the question of
the hour.
So long as the public is content
to allow its business to be conduct
ed on slip-shod lines, there will be
slip-shod results.

values of Rio Grande county would

lows, would close their business
doors within a year

DISCUSS CONDITIONS
IN BEET GROWING

couraged and were disposed to de-
mand better prices.
The officers of the Sugar company
after discussing thesituation among
themselves, decided to have the
president, Mr.. Galligan, come to
Monte Vista and have heart-to-
heart talk with the beet growers
and try to come to a satisfactory
agreement for beet raising the
coming season.
Mr.. Galligan arrived here from
Denver Wednesday morning and
held conference with many of
the ranchmen at the La Veta
hotel trying to learn what seemed
to be the general sentiment.
In the afternoon meeting was
held at the club rooms where some
so or more of the farmers and
business men gathered
Hon. R. g. Breckenridge was
elected chairman and briefly stated
the object of the meeting,
Mr.. Galligan was called on and
reviewed the business OF last sea-
son. He said the fve-year con-
tracts for raising beets was the
moving spirit which enabled the
promoters to raise the money for
building the factory; the general
results last season were disappoint-
ing both to the beet growers and
the company, neither made any
profit. There were several reasons
for these results: There was a
general crop failure which was es
pecially damaging to the beets;
weather conditions were largely
responsible for the shortage in the
tonnage per acre.
He said no factory in this state
had made success the first year.
Farmers are entitled to reasonable
prices for beets and be was here
to ascertain their wishes; that the
company was disposed to waive
the five-year contracts and meet
the demands of the growers and if
possible to agree upon prices for
the coming season. We all believe
beets can be grown successfully in
the San Luis Valley. There have
been produced here, beets of the
highest sugar content of any sec
ton of the state-16.17 per cent.
Continuing Mr.. Galligan said:
1--WE want the farmers and bust
ness men behind the company.
We have here which the north
western part of the state have not.
We also have the handicap of be-
ing further from the large markets
which means higher freight rates.
There have been mistakes made in
the labor element and other things
which can be remedied."
James A. Kelly was called on
and said "The failure in tonnage,
which was the main cause of our
failure, can be easily accounted
for-the backward spring and the
cold and wet July; too deep plant
ing and poor cultivation"
For one, he is disposed to put
in a reasonable acreage and with
proper cultivation, he has no
doubt but that tonnage of IL to
Is tons can be grown. A good
stand is essential to any crop.
He reviewed some Of the crop
failures and successes which we
have experienced in the valley.
But the enterprising ranchmen
have never become discouraged,
and he felt sure the beet growers
would be no exception.
The potato crop was almost a
complete failure last year and yet
