BEET ACREAGE INCREASED
More to be Planted I'm Idaho and Utah
This Year Than Last.

Salt Lake, Feb. 23.-The sugar beet
will be larger than it was last year,
and present prospects encourage a
hope that the tonnage may be heavier
according to Geoge A. Smith, pur-
chasing agent for the Utah-Idaho
Sugar company While all contrats
have not yet been made, Mr.. Smith
stated today that reports from the
different beet districts are to the
effect that the acreage in almost every
section will be as large, and in some
instances larger than in 1918.
Garland will have slight in
crease" Mr. Smith said, "as also will
Sewer and Blackfoot, ands probably
Sugar City and Idaho Falls. Payson
cannot have much of an increase on
account of the lack of irrigation water,
and Lehi and vicinity will probably
only be able to maintin it's previous
record.
"The amount of snow in the noun
tains of the state gives assurance
better than last year, and with the
slight increased acreage the tonnage
will probably be larger than hereto
fore"
All sugar beet authorities agree
industry will be in state OF uncer-
tainty, as the various companies
plans are undetermined, what the
farmers will be offered for beets and
what they will do if the price is re-
duced, only the future can tell-Idaho

The city is charging the in
takes for the storm sewers on
Sixth street. Something is
needed there as each little rain
causes it to overflow. The rain
of Monday night was not suffi
cient to run it over ordinarily
but the sewer became stopped
up with the rubbish thrown in
the cutters and as a result the
tracks were covered with mud.
The city is thinking of taking
drastic measures with those
who persist in throwing rubbish
in the cutters to be washed
d)wn in the sewers which stops
them up and causes the expen-
diture of considerable money
to get them cleaned beside the
Inconvenience of having the
street flooded at each rain. If
each one will be a little careful
about this a great deal of ex
pense can be saved.

has not admitted that he has committed
any offence, and the President in his
warrant cannot even specify any Of
fence which he "may have committed OF
taken part in" or that he has committed
or taken part in, it is apparent that the
Presidents act in signing this alleged
warrant of pardon was and is nulllty
and of no force or effect whatsoever.
Assuming that the witness had an.
swered the questions which he refused
10 answer, it is confidently asserted
that, while such answers might tend
20 criminate the witness of some Of
fence which he need not disclose, they
do not afford any proof of the com
mission of any "offence against the
United States" for which the President
can grant a pardon. The very Ian
guage of the proffered pardon reiuteS
the idea that the President had IN
mind the granting of a pardon for any
offence against the United States. Inc
motive for its issuance is found in the
preamble of the alleged pardon, which
reads. "Whereds the United states At

The only authority cited by the plain
tiffs in error in direct support OF the
proposition that pardon is not valid
unless accepted by the person par

Wil8Od. Peters $50.
But that the decision in that case
has no application to the cases at bar
is clearly shown by the review OF the
decision in the case Of In re CGlHcOt, 5
Rlatchf. So.
Mr.. Davis quotes at great length from
this case, showing that Judge Woodruff
there held that in the Wilson case 1.-THE
point decided was that the pardon, not
having been brought judicially before
the court by plea, motion or otherwise,
ought not 20 be noticed by the judges
in any manner to affect the judgment
of the law" Mr.. Davis continued:
Since, as was decided in United
States 4. Wilson, Pet, $50, a court
takes no notice of a pardon unless it
is pleaded or in some way claimed by
the person pardoned, the plaintiffs-in-
error might refuse the benefit of their
pardons should they be prosecuted for
the offences which are covered by the
pardons, but that does not affect the
validity of the pardons.
The records show that the pardons
have been executed, that they have
been formally rendered TO the plain
tiffs-in-error, that they have been filed
with the clerk Of the court for the
jurisdiction in which the testimony is
required, and that they remain at the
disposal of the plaintiffs -in-error Cur
