PRODUCING BEET SEED
DOMESTIC CROP HARVESTED IN
1915 WAS SATISFACTORY.
During Past Year Sugar Beet Seed
Was Grown in Several States
from Michigan to California.

western Newspaper Union News Service,
Denver.-Sugar beet seed was
grown commercially In this country
during the past year in several states
from Michigan to California. The crop
OF seed harvested in 1915 was so salts
factory-according to the report of tho
chief of the Bureau Of Plant Industry,
United States Department OF Agricul-
Iure. at Washington-in each of the
areas tested that a largely increased
acreage was planted this year.
The bureau assisted in an advisory
way in growing. selecting, and SLIDING
the roots, planting them in the spring
harvesting and cleaning the seed, and
IN general, endcavorcd to produce the
largest amount of commercial seed
possible AT minimum cost. Approx
imatcly 1000 acres are in beet seed in
this country this year, while we re.
Quirc the product of at least 10000
acres for a normal planting not con
sidcring the natural expansion of the
beet-sugar industry. Each new mill
will require an average of 200 acres in
seed to meet its planting require
ments. Seven new mills are in pro
cess of construction for this year
The problem of drying the sugar
beets for the purpose Of increasing
the amount of raw material for the
mill and thereby increasing the length
of the sugar campaign has been fur
ther investigated. The principal diff
ficuty has been in finding or dcvsing
dryer of suitable capacity to handle
enough bccts per day to be profitable
A satisfactory solution of the problem
will be very beneficial in those small
valleys in the intcrmountain states,
where the acreage is not sufficient to
support a sugar mill. and yet the su.
gar beet is necessary to the highest
results in the farming operations.

 The electoral college undoubtedly has outlived it's usefulness and the purposes for which 1t was intended When the law was framed many states had no population whatever as regards present day figures, and they were entitled to representation.
 There is no reasonable argument for an electoral college. It is ob- solete and should be done away with and the, people allowed to vote di- rectly for president and vice-presi- dent.

WHY THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE?

During the past few weeks much has been said concerning the alleged unfairness of electing a president and vice president through an electoral college instead of by a direct vote of the people. One who will look care fully into the purposes of the law is obliged to reach the conclusion that the American electoral system gives fresh evidence of the wisdom of our forefathers in providing that system as the means by which our national executives are chosen.
 Without the electoral vote distrib- uted between the states as it is a populous section like the eastern and middle states could easily control the presidency for all time. Their inte.- ests are often inimical to the inter- ests of the West and South and vice versa. One effect of the popular vote would be that a combination of the western and southern states through their large popular vote, could roll up such a large plurality as to prove natioa:., menace.
 As it is every state in the Union, large and small, has two votes re- gardless of population. This number acts as a neutralizer of sectional pre- judice or passion. And this sectional prejudice or passion, though former ly exhibited in the states that seced- ed from the Union is by no means confined thereto. In fact it has shift ed to the northern and northeastern states, who were strongly against President Wilson on account of his neutrality stand The West has noth- ing to gain by entering into the war and much to lose The East and the Northeastern states have much to gain through vast factories built and organized for war purposes.
 The framers of the constitution wisely saw the possibility of the rival ries between the North and the South or between the East and the West i; between manufacturing centers and agricultural centers; but they did not foresee the immense electoral vote built up in the populous centers of the East. New York with its 45 electoral votes; Pennsylvania, with 3S; Illinois, with 29, and Ohio with 24 electoral votes, constitutes a far greater menace to the will of the peo- pie as manifested in presidential ele :. tions than does the rest of the states in the Union.
 To preserve the balance of power, 'he northern states being strongly Republican, the electoral college was framed up at the behest of Repub-

CITY BREAD STORE

TACOMA, Dec. 2.--Aroused by the recent price of bread, Mayor Faw- cett announced today he would es- tablish a municipal bread store in the city hall, where twenty-ounce loaves will be sold at cents each or two for 15 cents. At the same sine he issued an appeal to Tacoma house. wives to smash what he terms the bankers trust (which is simply a combined attack on your pocketbook.
 Contracts have been made the may or said, with local bakers to furnish as many as 4,000 loaves of bread dali ly which the city will offer. for sale at cost. These bakers, the mayor de- clares, have offered him 15'l2 2Goz. loaves of bread for $1 and 2e 16-oz. loaves for $1. The present prices quoted by Tacoma bakers are 10 cents for 16-oz. loaves and 15 cents for 20-oz. loaves.
