BEET GROWERS FIGHT
CUT IN SUGAR DUTY
Representative of Group Lays Plea
for Retention of Scale
Before Coolidge.

Opposition to any Change in the
tariff sugar was lodged with
President Coolidge yesterday by A. y.
Maphers, representing the Farmers
Cooperative Beet Growers Associa
ton OF Nebraska. He told the Prcsi
dent that the rapid increase in beet
sugar acreage is displacing the sur
plus wealth acreage and solving tho
problem of overproduction in the
wheat belt.
THE protective tariff is the pivot
upon which the permanent prosperity
of the Western farmer is turning,
Mr.. MapherS said. and to disturb il
will throw Western agriculture out
OF gear"
Mr.. Maphers threw the combined
weight of the farming. ranching, min
ing. manufacturing. banking and
commercial interests Of the States
west of the Mississippi into the bal
ance in opposition to the proposed re-
duction in the duty on sugar. He was
fortified with written commitm ents
from 434 national and State producing
organizations, 1900 banks, 400 news
papers 291 chambers OF commerce
favorable 70 retaining the present
juties on Western farm products. and
armed with these credentials he ap
pealed TO the President to issue a
procla nation making permanent the
present duty on sugar.
Produced in 10 states.
Mr.. Maphers explained that beet
sugar is produced in l6 States. The
total domestic production Of sugar.
according to him, is about one-half
the consumption OF this country, and
he is convinced that the sugar tariff
is not excessive, and was not in
creased as much IS many other com
moditics.
Mr.. Maphers. before leaving the
President. touched briefly upon the
political situation in the West, but he
expressed the opinion that while many
people in that section are inclined
now to favor La Toilette, that at
the proper time they will cast their
votes for either OF the old-party can
didateS. He, however. expects La
Toilette to poll large vote west OF

CONCERT OF HIGH
QUALITY

|, The musical entertainers OF last Iris
dav night, Miss Anna Canonva, Mr..
Leo Canova and Miss Mabelle Lau, in
delightful recital at the Odd Fellows
Hall, gave every listener the full
worth of his admission and the 1most
enthusiastic applause for every num-
Der was the satisfactory evidence of
their appreciation.
The performers graciously respond
ed with several delightful encores.
The program, tho so artistically given,
;; was one to please any audience in its
variety and melodious appeal. To
some people. high class music means
classic" and they have a feeling that
if it is classic they can not enjoy it,
but a real artist like any of these, will
make all music enjoyable
! A bit of rag time, some popular
songs and a wonderful original trans
cription of "Suwanee River" by Miss
Canova, and several xylophone num-
bers gave lightness and variety to the
splendid program, that included some
grand opera numbers, magnihcently
given.
