GOVERNMENT Az BLAcKMAlt


GOVERNMENT nv BLAcKMAlL
The Sulzer scandal is no less an
exposure Of the Governor than Of
Tammany Hall. 1t rs the most con.
vincing object lesson in government
by blackmail that New York has
ever known.
Mr.. Sulzer has not been destroyed
because he pocketcd campaign con.
tributions, or because he failed to
make the accounting that the law
commands, or because he used the
money to carry on his Wall street
operations. These are all traditional
Tammany practices. Tammany can.
didates no less than Tammany bosses
are expected to pocket as much Of
the campaign fund as they can with
safety.
Tammapy has exhibited the Cover
nor to public shame and disgrace on
ly because he broke with the organ
ization and refused TO take further
orders from Murphy. If he had not
attempted to be Governor in fact as
we'll as in name, if he had not resist
ed the lootiug Of the State, if he had
not reached out for indictments Tam
many would have protected him. II
would have ylndicated" him as read
lily as it "vindioated' Stilwell and
Cohalan.
The Sulzer case explains much Of
the Tammany regularity" which has
hitherto been inexplicable We know
why so many ofice-holders who are
apparently better than the organlza-
tion have remained faithful to the or
ganfzation. We know now why men
who are infinitely Murphys superior
in intellect and reputation take their
orders from Murphy Tammany's
secret police system is always active
and efficient. The organization
knows the men it elects to Office and
knows what to hold over them when
they revolt 1t knows exactly where
to look for evidence, as the Sulzer
investigation proves
How many other Tammany men in
high Office have escaped public ex-
posture and political ruin only BY
obeying the commands of the Boss?
How many Of them have been forced
to choose between disgrace and trea-
son TO their oath OF Office? How many
Tammany-made officials could Muir
ply destroy tomorrow as easily as
he has destroyed sulzer?
Cammany's system of government
b, hlackmail does not palliate Will
liam Suffers offense. Tammany's
candidates may steal their campaign
fund ii they like, but the Governor
of New York may not divert to Wall
street the money that has been con
tributed to promote definite prinCi-
pies of government Mr.. Suffers dis
honor is not only personal but public.
Il shames the State. and there can
be neither sympathy with him nor ok
cuse for him.
Al the time Mr.. Sulzer was nomI-
mated and elected Governor his pri-
vate integrity had not been question
ed. He was supposed to be poor a9d
honest There were no rumors Of
financial irregularities until he had
Guarrelcd with Murphy 1t was only
when he stood in the way OF the
Boss and his contracts that exposure
was swift and certain, and il would
be equally swift and certain in the
case of any other man OF independ-
ence who was vulnerable Is it
strange that the Boss of Tammany
HALL manages to command so much
subservience?- New York World.

SUGAR BEET INDUSTRY.
Wages and Prices of Beets Much High
err In tie United States.

The difference between the condi-
tons under which beet sugar is produc-
ed in the United States and Europe Is
strikingly shown by IL report just pub
lished ms a United states senate doc
unlent. Summarizing III reports from
various European countries. this docu-
ment shows that 6J cents Il day was
the highest rate earned by men work
ing In the European beet fields, while
Is cents was the average rate. In all
the European countries. however. the
greater part of the field labor Is done
by woInpn and chiidtcu II wages rang
ing from 10 cchtS a day for children
in Russia to Sc cents Il day for women
in Denmark. To these poor laborers
the $3.50 Il day. which represents the
average earnings of field workers In
the United States. must appear a
princely income.
Among the factory workers engaged
i'm beet sugar production the difference.
Is equally striking. The men working
I'm the factories of the great European
sugar making countries. France n
Germany. receive an average daily
wage Of ~ cents. according to official
figures published 10y their w govern
mentS. The average American wage
for employees in the beet sugar facto-
ries. $3.50 Il day. Is more than three
times rs great.
Likewise the farmers who grow the
beets I'm Europe receive only 81 to
$3.50 n ton for their crops. although
they pay four to five times as much
rent for their land rs the American
farmer does.
While these figures serve to show
why il is that Europe can produce sug-
ar cheaper than the United States. 1t
is an interesting fact that the only
important country Of Europe where
the people are able to buy sugar
cheaper than in the United States Is
England. Even in England the price
paid for the sugar most generally used
is rs high rs the prices paid here. On
the whole. the lot of IN American sugar
beet grower or worker must be consid
cred preferable to that OF his Euro
pean competitor.

GOOD CROP FOR INDIANA.

Farmers Find Profit In Sugar 8eets
and Increased Yield of Other Crops.
How sugar beet growing IN Indiana
has worked out thus far in actual prac-
of Indiana farmers who have planted
the new crop and have kept a record
OF cost and profit. IL. Haggard OF Mon
o put twenty acres into sugar beets.
He gathered fifteen tons per acre, a
little above the average crop, and
made a profit of $500. or $40 an acre.
John Hyerly of Button got a crop OF
nineteen ton to the acre from a field
OF thirteen re His profit after de-
Quoting all expenses was So an acre.
This, he said. was the biggest profit he
had ever made on farming land.
Fred lsch of Bluffton kept a careful
account of his different crops. His
corn netted him II profit OF SOS an acre,
his oats SIS, and twelve and a half acres
OF sugar beets gave him So an acre
above expenses. This, he said, proved
to bis satisfaction that beet growing
Is a money maker for the farmer, aside
from the vast amount of good his land
derives from beets and the lessons in
scientific farming they teach him."
Fifteen acres i'm sugar beets gave a
yield of eleven tons TO the acre ON the
farm of T.. w Bushv OF Monroe. Mr..
Bushy declared that he was we'll pleas
ed with the outcome of his first season
with the crop.
I'VE had an unusual rainfall here
aboutS," he said. (which injured all
our crops. and | feel sure that with
the usual weather | conld almost dou-
bic my tonnage per acre. AS il was. |
made q profit of about SO per acre.
and, although | have not had any per-
ona experience of the good the land
receives from cultivating beets, | have
seen other farmers who have almost
doubled their oat crop by rotation with
beetS."
William Caesar of Preble had raised
beets In Michigan for seven years be-
fore coming TO IndRna.' He said that
the rainy season of last year did not
give a fair test of the Indiana soil, yet
he found his new land better fitted for
the crop than the farm he had left In
Michigan. Even with last years rainy
weather he averaged thirteen tons of
beets to the acre and looked for from
fifteen TO twenty in the coming season.
He planted fourteen acres last year
and this spring will plant forty.
81 know from actual experience" he
said. that Il farmer can harvest from
twenty-five to thirty bushels more oats
per acre on the land he has sown to
beets than be could before growing
them"
L. A. Thomas Of Monroe, who was
growing beetS for the second time last
year, said that his beet crop had drop
ped from twenty tons 70 the acre to
eleven on account of the u%nfavorable
weather. but that he felt he had made
q big profit Notwithstanding. The oats
which he planted on his former beet
land yielded double the amount he had
been accustomed to harvest because Of
the added fertility of the soil produced
by beet cultivation.
The Jasper weekly courier. [volume] (Jasper, Ind.) 1858-1922, 1913-04-18

Few persons realize that a large por-
ton of Germany is but a sandy plain
and her enormous crop yields due to
the fact that for each three acres OF
cereals grown her farmers raise one
acre OF hoed crops. thus producing a
root crop on each field every fourth
year. They grow sugar beets wher-
ever possible and are the greatest pro-
ducers OF this vegetable In the world.
In sections where there are no fac
tories TO which they can sell their sugar
beets they grow beetsS>r other root
crops and feed them TO stock.

methods. 1.-The growing OF these
crops until within n few years could
not have been ranked as agriculture,
but should have been described as
highway robbery of the soil. AS a re-
suit the average production per acre Of
these crops has fallen to a minimum.
Farming, for one thing, must be
made more attractive. 1t should be
made more profitable. This will be
done as our farmers learn more thor
oughly the principles Of intensive cult-
vation and get a knowledge of the
methods of feeding the soil and of the
rotation of crops.
''TO this end | have been preaching
for the past thirty years the gospel of
the sugar beet.
1.-The production of the sugar beet
requires the highest style of intensive
culture that science has been able to
suggest. The principles of feeding the
sugar crops. the methods OF culture
and handling. the attention and skill
Of the workers, are such as to create In
every field and factory devoted to
sugar culture an agricultural expert
ment station of the highest type. The
soil and climatic conditions In the great
or part Of the United States are thor
oughly favorable to beet culture, and
America Is the greatest sugar market
In the world.
I'm the case of the sugar beet the
crops which are grown in rotation with
il yield very much larger returns than
whel the old fashioned system of agri-
culture prevailed. The reflex action or
this influence becomes q benefit to
| American agriculture the value or
which it would be difficult to measure
in dollars and cents.
Wherever the Sugar beet is cult
no matter what kind of other crops
they raise. The beet generally Inn
proves the productiveness of the soil In
all kinds of agriculture. 1t causes the
employment of more labor and indi-
rectly benefits commerce and transpor-
tation and produces in every commu.
nifty conditions Of prosperity In agri
culture which IL would be difficult TO
brinI. about in any other way.
The culture of the beet brings into
the neighborhood the large sugar fac
tory using fuel and other raw mate
rial, with its complement Of laborers
and experts, thus giving a better and
more profitable market to the surround
ing farmers for all their products.
while there has been a general tend
ency toward the reduction Of tariff du-
ties. this tendency has not reached In
many cases the extent of the abolition
of import duties altogether. In any
changes Of this sort let as much as pos
sible be saved TO the farmer. In view
of the great Importance OF domestic
sugar production &c the prosperity Of
the American farmer. If tariff ADJUST
menk are 10 he made, | believe that
this Should be the last rather than the
first point at which 10 remove the Gus
toms duty.
"One Of the best things about sugar
beet culture from the point Of view or
agricultural Improvement is that Ii fits
in so perfectly with dairying and stock
growing. II IS. Of course. ono OF the
elementary facts OF practical dairying
that the rearing and keeping OF live

most natural means of improving tbs
