NEW BEET CONTRACT
A. b. S. Co. Announces Terms of 1922
Beet Contracts. Sliding Scale
Contract With Initial Pay
ment of $3.50 Per Ton.

The much looked for beet contracts
are at last in print and will soon be
circulated for signatures. Consider
ing the state of the industry and the
uncertainty of what is to be done in
the way of tariff protection for the
home sugar industry the contract is
better than many expected. 1t offers
an initial payment on the 18th of each
month of $3.50 per ton for beets de-
livered the previous month, which is
better than some who signed sliding
scale contracts received last year.
The price OF seed is fixed at 20
cents per pound, which is less by b
cents than Is charged i'll most of the
large sugar beet states. 1t will be
seen from the table in the contract
that in addition 10 the initial payment
of $3.50 per ton the grower will re-
ceive additional compensation if the
sugar content of his beets and the
market price of eugar justify it. We
publish the table up to 20 per cent
beets with sugar at 8 cents per pound,
which is as high as it is all likely any
grower or the market will rise. Above
that the figures increase in proportion
until 20 per cent beets and 12 cent
sugar pay $1S.52.
With the exception of the price
changes the contracts are very sim
liar to last year except that the re-
strictions on irrigating are somewhat
altered, and sliced beets are paid for
ut the rate of rs cents per ton ad-
ditional.
We are informed that the labor con-
tractors are offering contracts this
year at S15.5O per acre, a reduction
of $3 per acre over last years price.
This contract is row up to the grow
ers for their decision, and the essen
tial features are given below:
"2. Seed will be furnished by the
company at zoe per pound, and none
other shall be used.
"3. The grower agrees that all beets
grown by him will be delivered to the

factory, and that he will protect the

frozen or wilted beets, beets of less
than IL per cent sugar or of less than
80 per cent purity, or beets that are
not suitable for the manufacture of
sugar.
"a. The price per net ton of beets
will be based on the sugar content and
the average net return, (. o. b. factory,
received for sugar manufactured and
sold by the factories located in the

To Fill Important Post at Fort Lyon

Oot At
AS the result OF several interviews
during the past few weeks with the
Surgeon General and the Civil Service
Commission, Senator Phipps and Con-
gresham Hardy announce that the ap-
pointment of Mr.. w. J. Frederick of
Las Animas as administrative officer

The public health service will take

partment on March 1st, and it was
desired to place Colorado man in

the Fort. The government will indeed
be fortunate to secure a man of Mr..
Frederick's exceptional ability and
standing for his position.

REPUBLICANS VOTE SOLlDLY
FOR FIRST TIME; MINORITY
RANKS SPLIT.
SOLID VOTE FOR Bill
TARIFF RATES ON CATTLE AND
MEATS APPROVED BY BIG
MAJORITlES.

Washington.-Rat on cattle and
meats written into the tariff bill with
the approval of the Republican agri-
cultural tariff bloc and ranging gener-
ally higher than those in the House
measure, were approved by the Senate
by overwhelming majorities.
Not only did the Republicans vote
solidly for the first time since the bill
was called up nine weeks ago, but
there was the first real split in the
Democratic ranks.
Five roll calls were demanded during
the day and all showed about the same
results. The first was on the rates OF
11h cents pound on live cattle weigh
ing less than 1850 pounds and 2 cents
a pound on such cattle weighing more
than that amount and the result was
4S to 10.
Senators LaFOllette of Wisconsin,
and Norris, Nebraska, Republicans,
who consistently had opposed duties
in the bill, voted with the solid Repub-
lican majority, while Democrats who
supported the committee amendment
were Ashurst, Arizona Jones, New
Mexico Kendrick, Wyoming Pittman,
Nevada, and Sheppard, Texas.
The second roll call was on the COM
mittee amendment to increase to 31k
cents the 2-cent rate proposed by the
House on fresh beef and veal. The
vote was AZ to 1S, with six Democrats
voting with the solid Republican ma
jority. Senator Broussard, Democrat,
Louisiana, who had voted for the COM
mittee rates right along, and who an
nounced he would vote for the bill on
its final passage, was the sixth Demo
crat on this roll call
Without record votes the Senate
approved rates of 50 a head on sheep
and goats, as compared with 1 cent a
pound in the House bill, and 21s cents
a pound on fresh mutton and goat meat
as compared with the House rate of
IN cents.
The committee amendment to in
crease the duty on lamb from the 2
cents in the House bill to 3 cents, was
approved on a roll call, AZ to 1S.
The Senate then voted, 43 to 16, to
increase to cents pound the House
rate of l cent on bacon, hams, shoul-
ders and other pork, prepared or pre-
served. Next it approved, 81 to 16, a
rate of cents pound on lard COM
pounds and lard substitutes. The
House rate was 20 per cent ad valorem
on American valuation.
There was no contest over the propo-
sition to raise to 4 cents the House
rate of liz cents pound on reindeer
meat, venison and other game, Chair
man McCumber of the finance commit
tee, explaining that this was in the ma
ture of a luxury tax. There was also
little contest over the basket clause"
duty of 20 per cent ad valorem on
meats, fresh, prepared or preserved
not specially provided for.
