SOME BEET
SUGAR TALK

right down facts when we look around
and note SO many failures tnau were
built in the first place on buoyed hopes
and anticipations of flattering returns.
Look at the hundreds of mills lying
idle and a dead loss throughout the
San Juan mining district and the
state. The promoters were jist as
sanguine as Mr.. barley about the re-
suits. They were handy with pencil
and with figures convinced investors
that with mills they could coin money.
And then the bubble bursted. Some
times through mismanagement and
high-priced officials. A few succeeded
by careful management and keeping
down expense. Any kind Of coop
erative concern depends largely on
the management from year to year.
Let the farmer not jump at conclu-
sions and be hastily led astray. He
is only promised S5 flat rate. He
is induced to sign this kind of con-
tract on the glittering promise of
division Of the profits which Mr.. Dar-
ley claims will run from 40 to rs per
cent. In this calculation Mr.. barley
has not included some mills or fac
tories that have hard struggle to
exist and make ends meet. Suppose
the beet crop is light the first year for
some cause or other and the Durango
plan" factory fails to make any money
NIL the farmer will receive is $5 flat
while the farmers in all other parts
Of the state are receiving from $3.50
to 81 per ton for their beets. How
many acres do you think the farmers
would plant the second year? These
are matters that should be considered. |
On the surface Mr.. Darley's plan pic
Semi-weekly herald., 1912-03-14

lures second heaven for the beet
growers and only wish that it were
so and that capital could be secured
for the construction of factory,
trusting that his picture will prove
realistic.
There is little history that may
not generally be known. At the meet
ing called by request of Mr.. barley
at the time of the San Juan CON
2ress meeting, the only real sugar
beet growers present were from Ali
son and when asked for their opinion
after Mr.. barley had glowingly ou.-
Incl his plan said they did not agree
with him, that as beet growers they
would rather take their chance on a
decent flat rate and sliding scale,
believing they would get better re-
suits. After the meeting closed Mr..
Darley asked the men opposed to talk
with him privately where he again
trlto to induce them to agree to his
plan but with what success we do no.
Know. In conversing with parties l
ascei tain that Mr.. Pastorius, who
owns several thousand acres of lard
on the lower Florida suitable for beet
culture, prefers the flat rate with

parts of the state, believing, we pre-

suits year in and year out. Mr.. PAS

Again, the flat rate of $5 brings all
farmers down to the same level, 1t
is really premium again industry.
1t is well known that some farmers
make decided success with the same
conditions were others fail or bare
ly exist. The percentage of sugar
depends to quite an extent on the cul-
tivation of the ground, changing of
crops and care from the time of plant
ing to hauling to market. One farm
er may only have the same tonnage as
his neighbor but the sugar percent
age may be to 6 per cent greater
and this is bound to sooner or later
bring about dissatisfaction or all
farmers will get down to the same
level. Mr.. barley might better give
flat rate with sliding scale and
then add his profit-sharing plan.
Again: Mr.. barley claims that adj.
mitting sugar free of duty as pro-
losed by congress will not lower the
price of sugar. This is poor logic and
differs with every argument advanced
by any of the leading writers in the
country. The Democratic house of
representatives claims that free su.
gar means saving to consumers of
something like S54,OO0,O00. In an edi-
torial the other day the Denver News
commended the abolition of the duty
along the same ground. Mr.. barley
positively declares that taking the ta,-
iff off will not reduce the price In
this he stands alone against the grea;
Democratic host and all the Democrat
ic writers, including those of Repub-
lican sheets. Mr.. barley claims to be
honest in this view and may be. But
is he right and some ninety-odd mil
lion of Americans wrong. Is Mr.. Dar-
ley the only one who is smart enough
to foresee the same price for sugar? :?
If such is the case the arguments
that the tariff makes high prices is
falacious in every sense of the word.
Mr.. barley when asked by board of
trade members about this has main
tanned the above position. Are you
going to let Mr.. barley make you be-
lieve this also. Mr.. Farmer, M Bust

Mr.. Darley's stubbornness this has
been spoiled. His talk of securing
money for sugar factory as now
planned is no more plausible than his
declaration that free sugar will not
reduce the price.
Now in conclusion, Dear Reader, for
this article is already too long-but
it takes space and time to analyze
the situation, l wish to say that have
no desire to belittle Mr.. barley. We
believe him capable and if he will
come back into the fold he will sue
ceed. Every man makes mistakes.
Why not have the backing of every
individual? Durango wants to help
the farmer. True, there are some who
are willing to go ahead and assist Mr..
Darley under his plan. They are no
doubt honest in what they are doing,
but have they gone into all the phases
of the conditions that are liable to
arise? If the people will say to Mr..
Darley, we want you to go ahead but
be guided somewhat by those putting
up the money, all will end well. For
one | want Mr.. barley to make a
canvas for acreage. 1t has never been
demonstrated that the acreage that
can be obtained. Let the people of
Durango pay for this and let the con-
tracts be drawn in their name. The
information will be worth the cost,
but let the contracts be conditional.
For one | prefer the flat rate of $3.50
and sliding scale. This after Civ
ing the question full consideration as
above outlined. If Mr.. barley refuses
to increase the fund already subscrib-
ed by men not on the list at present
and going ahead with the work of Sc
curing factory. Invite Mr.. barley
to work with the people. Suppose it
costs $4,000. A factory will be worth
the money. Make it so Mr.. Darley
will have a cash bonus in addition to
a stock bonus. And above all, let all
bitterness cease. Durango will not
go ahead with the people divided. Do
not be misled by plausible stories and
prejudiced newspaper that thrives
on strife. Be guided by your better
self. Should enough Durangoites de-
eide to go ahead under Mr.. Darley's
changeable plans / wish them Gods
speed and success, but let them con-
slider what failure means-the killing
of a factory for many years to come.
The farmers as a rule are opposed
to signing contracts of any character
after the way the cooperative mill
was managed. They even refuse to
sign creamery contract no matter
how favorable, simply saying now
they will furnish cows if ore is built,
and if they sign under Mr.. Darley's
plan and failure follows they will be
slew to sign changed contract. They
do not like to take chances Of being
misled twice. Consider all these va
rying conditions and be honestly guild
ed in whatever is done, leaving poll
tics, which I understand is beginning

Colorado Springs, colo. Oct. SO.-
Two million dollars Of the capital
stock Of the Grand Union Mining
company Of New York and Mexico,

worth, in his suit against Edward
Tufts, whom Hollingsworth claimed
to have grubstaked several years ago,
If the recommendation of Referee
o. E. Collins made to the district
court here yesterday are carried out.
The suit has been tried in New
York, in Kansas City and twice tried
in Colorado. Hollingsworth and Tufts
we're boyhood friends, but drifted
apart, the former establishing a dem
tai practice in Kansas City. He pros
pered and later Tufts it is alleged,
went to his former childhood friend
and secured $1,000 as a grubstake
from him and others, representing
that he would delye into heretofore
unknown gold mining property in
Mexico. Tufts located group OF
mines in Mexico. and in 1906, afte.
developing the mines, he organized
the Grand Bnion Afining company II
New York, with capitalization Of
$10OOO,OOO Then $S,OOO,OO0 Of stock
was issued, according to Hollings
worth, Tufts being given $4,O00,OOC
and s4,OOO,OOO was taken by men who
financed the property.
Hollingsworth demanded half Of
Tufts stock. Referee Collins held
Tufts explanation that $3,OOO,OO0 Of
his stock was held in trust for others
was not satisfactory and recommend
ed that Tufts be compelled to divide
evenly with Hollingsworth.
One claim set forth by Tufts was
that the property first explored fail
ed Of production, and that Hollings-
worth's money was expended on a
proposition which had failed and that
tho property which proved productive
was financed without any of his for
mar friends money.
