Opposed to Free SUGAR.


G. R. Whitaker, secretary of the So
ciety of Equity for the State of Min
nesota, has been asked to call a con-
ference of the Minnesota society Of
ficials to protest against the free sugar
bill now pending. in the senate af-
ter having been passed by the house.
The action is due to an appeal from
Secretary Tubbs of the Wisconsin
State Society of Equity which has Ia
ken strong action protesting in behalf
of the beet growers of Wisconsin,
against reduction in the tariff which
would wipe out the rapidly growing
beet sugar industry in America.
The request from Wisconsin is of
Importance, because the president of
the Badger society which makes this
fraternal appeal, is also the national
president, Ira M. J. Chryst of Hudson,
thus evidencing that this great farm
ers organization is againt the repeal
Of the duty.
The Wisconsin appeal is backed up
by requests from farmers organiza-
lions in all parts of the west, including
most of the seventeen states where
sugar beets are grown, for Minnesota
farmers to bring pressure to bear upon
its congressman who voted in favor of
the sugar trust plan to demolish the
beet sugar Independents opposition, to
show the congressman that the farm
er sentiment of their state is against
the abolition of the industry which
pays $100,00O,000 a year to American
farmers for their beet crops.
The Wisconsin society sent the Min
nesota secretary copy of it's resolu-
lions on the beet sugar question.

masterpieces which came from his
pen may be regarded as the produc.
