STATEMENTS ERRONEOUS
c. n. Bramble Confuses Beet Growers
by Inaccurate Figures.

In order that beet growers may
know the truth as to some of the
Statements made by G. d, Bramhle, of
Lansing, which haye,been, widely cir
culated, and to correct the impression
of the uniformed as to large profits
made by sugar companies, few act
ual figures should be given.
Mr.. Bramble states the cost of
beets at 1856 per ton, while it is well
known that the factories paid $500
per ton for beets and in addition to
this paid the freight and the cost of
handling the beets at the weigh sta
tions and supervising the harvesting,
so that the cost of the beets to the
factory was $7.S5 per ton instead of
1886 per ton.
The labor cost at the factory, ex-
cluding overhead cost, was S5c instead
Of .0075c per pound.
Mr.. Bramble states the sale price
of sugar at &c per pound, while the
actual s@le price realized by the fac
tories was 5 2-l0c per pound, or 1.Sc
per pound less than stated by Mr..
Bramble.
Mr.. Bramblc figures that it takes
II tons Of sugar bects to produce one
ton Of dried pulp, while as a matter
of fact it takes 20 tons of sugar bccts
to produce one ton Of dried pulp,
making the amount Of pulp produced
$4,000 tons instead Of 10000 tons as
stated.
If these corrections are made the
net profit to the factory as figured by
Mr.. Bramblc would be reduced nearly
So 200, 100000 and the net profit to the
farmer increased over $500.000.00.
There are many other misstatcments
in the figures published by Mr. Bram-
bic.
1t should be remembered that the
factories always pay for a great many
more bcets than are received at the
factory actually sliced. In the cam
paign referred to, 1915, the shrink
age between the bcets paid for and
the beets sliced was 12et. so that on
the basis Of beets sliced at 1,O75,6S1
tons the factories paid for 100000
tons more than they received. which
would still further reduce their profits
by about $9OO,OOO.OO. All these fig
ures go to show the unreliability and
inaccuracy Of the statements publish
cd by Mr.. Bramble and they ought
not to go uncontradictcd.
1t does not seem reasonable to sup
pose that Mr.. Bramble would know
lngly publish figures that are so clear
ly false and misleading and it is evi-
dent that his source of information
was unreliable.

FORDNEY NAMED HOUSE ORGANIZER
His Request that Place be Given to
Pat Kelly or Mapes Refused.

Washington, Feb. 7.-On the part
of some radicals" in the Republi
can minority in congress there is a
disposition to criticize the selection
of Representative Joseph w. Fordney,
of Saginaw, as Michigan's member
Of the Republican congressional COM
mittee just appointed to arrange for
organization of Republicans in the
next congress.
As matter of fact NJ. Fcrdney
did not desire to be named on the
committee and even went so far as
to go personally to Congressman
Green, of Massachusetts, chairman
at the last Republican caucus, and
urged him to name either Congress-
man Carl Mapes, of Grand Rapids, or
Congressman p. J. Kelley, of Lans-
ing.
Mr.. Green refused to ignor the fact
that Mr.. Fordney is ranking Rcpubli-
can member Of the ways and means
committee and will be chairman Of
that body in the event that the next
house is Republican. Therefore he
held it imperative that the prospec-
tive floor leader Of the next house be
a member of the committee on or
ganization.
Twcnty-sevcn Republican repre-
scntativcs were named as the com
mittec. Representative Gardner, of
Massachusetts, who circulated the pc
tltion for the caucus and then lost his
fight for a tentative progressive leg
islativc program for the Republicans
in the next congress, was not put on
the committee.
The full committee follows:
Representatives Madden and Can
non, Illinois; Gillett, Massachusetts
Cooper, Wisconsin; Mondell, Wyom-
ing; Hill, Connecticut Fordney
Michigan. Kahn, California; Camp.
bell, Kansas; Volstead, Minnesota

CHARTER CHANGES
Fourteen Will Be Voted On at April
Election.

The city commission has complet-
ed the changes in the city charter
which it will ask the electorate to
approve at the April election. The
most important change is one that
transfers certain duties from one
commissioner to another, to make a
more even division of the work and
to increase the efficiency of the ad-
ministration.
Section seven Of chapter five of
the charter is amended to increase
the duties of the mayor by giving
him charge and supervision of pub
lie grounds and public buildings,
which was formerly under the charge
of the Commissioner of Public I'M
provements, and also charge Of all
franchises and agreements for light
ing the streets which was formerly
under the charge of the Commissions
or Of Public Utilities. This amend
mcnt is for the purpose Of equalizing
the work Of the Commissioners and
gives to the Mayor that work which
the Commission felt should be under
his direction as chief executive Off
Ger of the city.
Section H.. chapter eight, is amend
ed to transfer the duties of construct
ing, maintaining and repairing sewers
from the department Of public i'm
provemcnts to the department Of pub
lie utilities. The control of the wat
or works grounds is given entirely
to the commissioner of public utili-
ties. The commission in transferring
the construction, maintenance and
repair Of sewers from the department
Of public improvements to that of
public utilities, felt that this work
should follow closely the work of the
laying of water mains. BY this same
amendment, the control of the pub.
lie lighting, franchises and public
utilities, excepting the water works
is taken from the department of pub.
lie utilities, and placed in charge OF
the mayor.
Another amendment will make il
necessary when any permanent inn
provemcnt is made on any street, fol
the abutting property owners to ex
tend all sewer pipes, water main.
and gas pipes from their propcrt,
to the center of the street. Under tn,
present charter, this cannot be don,
unless the street is paved and thcr
not until the paving has been order
ed. This makes it necessary to tea
up tho street for the purpose. of lay
ing these pipes during the. same yea
tLat the paving is done and render

dcrmuth hotel property, has announc-
ed that he has decided to remodel the
building, doubling the number of

crn and up-to-date in every +, way.

sometime and Mr.. Hoffman hopes
it will be completed by September.
Mr.. Hoffman S plans are not COM
plete and will not be until after an
architect has looked the building
over and taken the necessary meas
urements. He stated, however. that
the rear part of the present building
will be torn down and rebuilt. This
part is at present only two stories
high, but when the work is completed
the entire structure vii be three stor-
les high. 1t will extend back to the
twO-story building now used as
sample room. The building complete
will be 19Sx66 feet in dimensions.
The building will be strengthened SO
that III case business makes it neces-
sary one or two more stories may be
added. The cost Of the improvement
will be between 100000 and $4,000.
When the work il completed the
hotel will have 65 rooms in all. OF
this number 20 will have tub and 20
shower baths. AT present there are
81 rooms in the hotel. A new heat
ing plant and sewer system will be
installed. The ground floor plan will
be changed considerably, but Mr.
Hoffman has not definitely decided
just what the arrangements will be
and will not announce this until his
architect has been there.
Il want to give Owosso Just as
good hotel as it can support" de-
clared Mr.. Hoffman, "and when I
am through the Wildermuth will be
one of the best equipped and most
modern hotels in the smaller cities
Of Michigan"

final. and would be universal. 1t would
mean eternal life or eternal death for
the judged. The evangelist called on
God for words to impress on his audi.
