hospital and property losses not to exceed 3,000fC00f is the
result of the 'earthquake which last Monday shook Santa
Barbara" "Within a few hours after the first report of the
quake had reached Los Angeles, a staff of competent city
engineers and officials were .rushed to the quake stricken area
to offer their services.
'A staff of geologists and seismologists headed by Ralph
Arnold, prominent Los Angeles geologist, rushed immediately
to Santa Barbara to determine the exact cause of the quake
The fault according to these scientists, is purely local
The Santa Barbara casualties were the first to result from
earthquake in Southern California in 113 years or since 1812."
Thus runs the publicity dispatches from Los Angeles to
the Pacific newspapers setting forth effectively and emphat
ically that Los Angeles is right-up-to-the-minutet in emergen
cies and that there isn't anything, much the matter in Cali
fornia notwithstanding the occurrence of a few earthquakes.
But the climax of the dispatch" is--!A comprehensive pro
gram for completely rebuilding the business district of Santa
Barbara along earthquake-proof lines using steel and concrete
construction throughout will be launched immediately."
Announcement is here made of successful opposition to
future earthquakes, with as much confidence as plans for the
construction of an ordinary building might be told.

SSavaaa, Okia Board t Ooauaarea
. i TORRINGTON, Wyo July 2. Some Idea of how vital to the
beet sugar raising section of the west was' President Coolidge's recent
decision not to lower the su car tariff can h had from a survev of
ronditions in Goshen county, Wyoming, through which the writer has! reported. At the best It was a terrible disaster. And the m";8D

Just completed a two hundred and fifty ralle automobile trip.
. .Goshen, county contains approximately llS.OO'4 acres of 'the
000,000 opened to irrigation, by the North Platte gtivernment project
and private ditches from that river. .About 10,000 acres in the county
are-in beets this year, which means; under the crop rotation system,
J hat about 40,000 acres are devoted to beet culture. ' - -t
' The beet sugar farmer must derive his principal means of exist
ence from his beets, although they occupy the ground only one-fourth
'Of the time, i The alfalfa, the small grain and other crops are fillere-
in, planted chiefly to keep the ground capable of producing the valu
able sugar beet.
1 This county presents a concrete example of what even nncer
talnty about tariff can do for a beet section. There are enough beets
.being grown here to support a factory. That would mean the farmer
'could get back the precious pulp, needed for feed and enriching the
land. However, no financing could be found for a beet factory during
the long period when it was a "possibility that lowered tariff 'might
wipe out the domestic grower and manufacturer alike. So beets from
.Goshen county have to be shipped aerobe the state to Sheridan or
jWorland
I . The beet farmer, though he has heaved a sigh of great relief. Is
not yet entirely out of the woods. Even with the tariff that the presi
dent's decision has retained, an over-production, in Cuba has forced
the price-of sugar to a. point where the farmer, whose price is based
on the market price of sugar, will receive barely enough to break even.
' . IWUh the present tariff we can probably ride through the crisis
and hope for something better," one farmer said, "although the going
j will be hard. Without, the present rock bottom protection the North
a Platte country might as wel have shut down like an Insolvent bank."
I r.The beet sugar farmer doe not ask for protection as charity,
tile maintains stoutly that he is protecting the rest of the country." -f
"The hope rof the well Organised sugar planters in Cuba, with
'their close-knit New 'York financial backing," eaid Hiram D. Lingle,
I who was the first man to plant sugar beets In this country, "is to
L utterly destroy the beet sugar Industry In the United States. They
'are witling to sell sugar very low, until we-have been. wiped off the
- map. Then they would have a complete. monopoly, operating outside
.' the jurisdiction of American anti-trust laws. The American public
! might again see sugar at 23 cents a pound and pay more In a single
! season by way of extortionate profits than protective tariff would

The above was sent to The Statesman, and presumably to
1 other newspapers in this country, by the Goshen County Beet
Growers association, Torrington, Wyoming. .
1 1 t ' The growers of Goshen county, Wyoming, should line up
.with the movement to knock out the 20 per cent preferential
duty which the Wall Street sugar trust enjoys
" The same trust that attempted to get President Coolidge
to lower-the rate they pay on raw Cuban sugars, under the
elastic provisions of the tariff. ;-f.
; . Other importers of raw sugars pay 2.20 a pound on their
I products, while the Wall Street junta gets off with 1.76,
because, after the war with Spain, when our country put Cuba
on her feet, we by treaty agreement, allowed all imports from
that island to come in with 20 per cent less duty than if
, imported from some other country
v ; And the Wall Street junta was not satisfied with,a good
'. thing. They showed their swinish propensities by asking for
I a still lower sugar duty ; hoping to save themselves $40,000,
i 000 a year in duties ; and hoping also to crush the sugar beet
! industry of the United States. '',
i t Now there is a movement to do away with the Cuban
preferential duties. They help no one but this Wall Street
I sugar junta. They do not help the Cuban farmer, for he gets
an average of only $1.16 for each 10Q pounds of sugar conten
in his cane, while the American farmer gets an average o
. $37 for the sugar content of his beets.

, r Then Goshen county will get a beet sugar factory, and so
i will Salem ; perhaps several of them, " and the Willamette
valley in Oregon will get a score or more at such factories.
' There is no more important matter now before the people
of the United States as a whole. y
