As to lobhXists

President Wilson week issued a statement in regard the tarfr situation. which he de- cIared that there were strong lobbies a work in Washington to prevent the passage senate " the Underwood tariff bill in the form in which I had been received from the house The domestic sugar industry. the president said. was especially active.
 Mr Wilson. we think. failed to take notice of a pretty wide distinction between the lobbyist and the earnest representative of industry which is be affected by pending legislation. The ways of the lobbyist apt be devious that his activities have come to be considered not legitimate
 We have heard of lobbyist working in be- half the domestic sugar interests, but there and active bureau there representing the beet and cane sugar growers working openly against the proposal reduce the tariff and put it on the free list after three years There s no con cealment; the work bureau legitimate, sstug of the presentation of facts and figures rela tive the domestic sugar industry.

 The representations of this lobby are fraudulent, and operations uIegitmate. In the of the consumers it is pursuing the campaign in which the sugar trust has been engaged many years
 We have the fullest confidence in the honesty of the president We think given the sugar schedule the close consideration that it deserves In his statement he says that if the domestic sugar interests would substitute the best business methods for their present methods they would not suffer from tariff legislation. He says rearding the beet industry: 'Ineffciency in production and lack of knowledge to soil require ments only will keep the industry from remaining d basis in the face sugar"
 We believe that in this country the most efficient methods have been employed. In the Salt River valley, and, doubtless everywhere that sugar beets grown. the soil has been carefully and scien- tfcally studied determine it's adaptability.
