TWENTY TOWNS
TO DEMAND CUT
IN PHONE RATES
Company to be 0usted Where
Franchise Has Expired If New
Schedule Not Adopted.

- REELEY. Colo, Dec. IA de-
mand on the part of twenty
towns in all parts of Colorado
upon the Mountain States Telephone
and Telegraph company for reduc-
tion averaging around 33 1-3 per
cent in existing rates, was made at
a meeting held Saturday at Loveland
of the Telephone Users association
and will be presented to the company
by each town where its franchises
has expired and where the company
is now operating without a permit.
In the event that the company fails
to accede to these demands, a score
of custer suits will be started against
the corporation and new company
invited to come in.
Those who are back of the organi-
zation say that they do not want two
telephone systems for state service
in Colorado; that the present COM
pany has its rates practically one
third higher than they should be, and
that, even with the proposed cut, it
could operate at a profit and con-
tinue to pay dividends. At the Love
land meeting a schedule of rates was
fixed ranging from $3.50 month for
q one-party business phone, down to
the price of extension bells, which is
fixed at 10 cents.
The. meeting adopted the following
resolutions:
For the use of streets and alleys
and public grounds, license fee of
per cent per annum of the gross
receipts of the company in the re-
spective towns be collected. That
reasonable time, not to exceed two
weeks, be granted the Mountain
States Telephone and Telegraph COM
pany to respond to these demands;
that upon the failure OF the respec
tive councils to receive favorable re-
sponse to the foregoing demands,
proceedings be commenced simultan-
eously by all the cities in which
telephone franchise have expired to
oust the company from the use of the
streets, alley and public grounds, and
that the city attorneys of these cities
be instructed to prepare in the mean
time the necessary papers for such
proceedings, SO that there need be
no delay" 81

WELD COUNTY
BEET GROWERS
TO STAND PAT
Refuse to Reduce Price at Fac

This Year.
Sentinel Special Service.


IN ENyER. Dec. l. The beet
j growers of the northern part
of the state have taken decis-
i've stand in the matter of beet pric-
es for next season and have resolved
in convention assembled to stay with
n resolution that has been adopted
by some 900 growers. A mass-meet-
ing has just been held at which the
beet growers decided on a schedule
of prices they expect to demand of
the sugar companies. 1t was agreed
that farmers could not raise beets at
less figure than they are now get
ting from the Great Western Sugar
company
The figures that are to be demand
ed by the growers are: For beets
that test, IL per cent, flat rate of
50 per ton, with an additional so
cents per ton for for each / per cent
test more. with an accounting on
one-tenth of per cent
This is practically the same price
as is being paid by the sugar COM
pany, save that the present beet to
get the So flat rate must test from
12 to ii per cent, and there is no
accounting on the fraction.
Under present prices beets that
now test as high as IA per cent bring
only the SO rate, the sliding scale
of 30 cents additional not applying
until after the beet tests more than
II per cent, while the resolution of
the farmers demands 80 cents per
ton additional for each per cent
above IL and continuation of the
80 cents per ton for each additional
per cent of sugar content the beet
contains.
Information from Weld county is
that the farmers are going to stand
by the resolution and declare they
will not yield, no matter what the
sugar company may say or do.
