FOR POST
BUILDING HERE
ARE CONSIDERED

Plans for a legion club house that
will adequately provide for the
membership during the next few
wears were discussed at the meeting
Of Boyce Aten post last night, ac-
cording to Commander Osborne, and
resulted in the appointment of
committee of IL to act with the post
executive committee in preparing a
definite proposition to be presented
to the membership at the next regu-
lar meeting.
"Our present quarters are too
small Osborne said, "and are un-
satisfactory in several ways, never
having been intended for lodge use.
No provision is made i'll the room at
the county court house for the en-
tertainment of guests or for holding
social events which are absolutely
essential in the life of a fraternal
organization such as the legion.
National leaders of the Ameri-
can Legion believe, and we believe
with them, that each post should
own its own home. There is moth
ing Ilhe oNHlHS Oiic hoAho Ia Pii
vate life and the same thing should
hold true in lodge life. -
The post is not ready to state yet
just what it hopes to do in the way
of a new club house, Osborne said,
but it expects shortly to have a
place that will not only be real
home for the post but will be a
credit to. the city and to the or
ganizatiOn.
Several new members were ac-
cepted into membership last night,
and several more applications for
membership will be ready for the
next meeting.
The Women s Auxiliary to Boyce
Aten post also met last night in
department No. of the superior
court. Routine business was trans
!; acted and the applications of sew
eral new members were voted on.
The auxiliary is planning to hold a
large meeting as soon as the charter
is received from the state depart

RELIEF IS SEEN
FOR PRODUCERS
OF SUGAR BETS
Told Farmers Bor-
row Money at 8 Per Cent
With 6 Per Cent Return.
Times WASHINGTON Bureau.
1922 Ne1o York Avenue

WASHINGTON, July g. Sugar
beet farmers are paying eight, ten
and twelve per cent in ton money to
operate land which returns them only
six per cent on it's valuation.
This fact, just discovered by the
special Senate committee to investi-
gate the tariff, may lead to farm
relief not on the main farm pro
gram. In the form of further ex-
tension Of Federal farm loan and
joint land bank systems.
iI The committee called Edgar G..
Brossard before it to inquire into
his nomination as member of the
United States tariff commission, and
in questioning him uncovered star
tling facts as to the plight of sugar
beet producers. Brossard investigat-
ed the industry for the tariff COM
mission before he was elevated to
that body, and the information he
gave the committee is from his gen.
eral report on conditions soon to be
fprinted.
Il Nine States Covered Z
Brossard's investigation covered
SOhie, Michigan, Nebraska, Colorado,
Wyoming, Montana, Utah, Idaho
and California, where "a per cent
of the beet CROP is raised.
He found that farmers are paying
an average of 7.14 per cent interest
son their mortgages and some are
still paying as high as II per cent,
ythe rate which prevailed just after
-the war, because Federal farm loan
banks refused to loan money at that
time, and they were forced to get it
somewhere else.
This money, having been borrowed
on inflated land Values constitute
larger loans than the banks are now
willing to refund for.
Reed Concerned
"I supposed we had gone almost
Itoo far in allowing credit to agri-
culture" said Senator Reed of Penn
sylvania, after bearing this testi-
mony. Il thought we had en-
couraged creation Of too much debt.
But if these are the facts we. have
not gone far enough. We are put
ting too great a burden on the
farmer who must borrow at {, 8
and 9 per cent, and can earn only 3
per cent"
Brossard told the committee that
4 during the three years covered by
shis inquiry sugar beet farmers
Cleared an average Of $1:9O an acre
sper year.
This was a producers entire profit
except thatN the investigators in
making up costs of production al
lowed him a suppositious wage
equal to that he paid his hired man,
usually $40 a month.
Underestimate on his labor al.
lowed him nothing for his manage
ment or extra hours of work.
1.-The average sugar beet farmer
could have rented his farm and gone
fishing and made just as much
profit, except for the wages. of an
ordinary hired man. Reed pointed
out.
