KS1MTI0 proof jo tlr6 contrary, llio good farmers of tho
Aaratu district insist upon assorting that the proposed
hoot sugar factory is nnrt of the proposed irrigation dis
trict plan, aiid refuse to sign up acreage to create a profit
able industry because of their misunderstanding.
The sugar beet factory has nothing to do with the pro
posed irrigation district, nor with the Uogue River Oannl
company absolutely nothing.
The beet sugar factory builders were sent bore by the
Southern Pacific railroad officials, who seek to develop
business in 'the territory they traverse. !Nonc of the beet
sugar makers are in any way affiliated with any irriga
tion proposal, and the two proposals have nothing in com
mon. This the Mail Tribune has verified.
The irrigation proposition resulted from a mass meet
ing held hist fall, before the beet sugar factory promoters
had seen the valley. It was launched first. It is unfortun
ate that the two propositions should have been presented
at. the same time, as it has resulted in a confusion in tho
public mind and an entirely undeserved opposition to the
sugar beet faetorv.
The big thing before the
secure such an industry as the sugar factory, which will
enable growers to profitably raise produce for which there
is a fixed market at a fixed price and that will furnish em
plovment to idle men.
Ln opposing the sugar factory the farmer is biting off
his nose to spite his lace, lie is destroying the best oppor
tunity yet offered to make himself and his neighbors prof
itable to lift himself out of the slough of despond, to
re-establish staple land values.
CREATING POLITICAL SPOILS
THE Oregonian, always unfair, is employing its usual
tactics of misrepresentation in its effort to destrov
fish and game propagation
the anglers and hunters as political spoils.
This delectable sheet, which seems drunk with power
over its success in organizing the legislature and the elec
tion of a .republican governor, is now bent upon the organ
ization of a politieaLmachine
its editor and to pervert the government accordingly.
Among other false assertions, the Oregonian in its issue
of January 15 declares that the hunters' and anglers'
licenses are paid into the hands of the fish and game com
mission, and that they expend these funds clirect. This is
not true.
The game protection fund is upon the same basis as
other state funds. The license money is collected by the
county clerks and paid direct to the state treasurer. Not
one dollar is spent by the fish and game coniniission direct.
It can only be spent on duly authorized warrants signed
by three of the, commissioners, passed upon by the secre
tary of state alul cheeks drawn by the secretary of state
and paid by the state treasurer.
Therefore, the plan advocated bv Representative
Jones, chairman of the game
ing is now m iull eftect. J? urtherniore, the license money
is paid by the hunters and anglers for the definite purpose
of protection and propagation. There is no object of a
license if no return is forthcoming, and no return will be
forthcoming if the fish and game commission, a noii-pai'-tisan,
non-political body, is eliminated.

mittee to meet with the ladies and ex
plain to them that owing to poor bus
iness conditions caused by so much
money being spent out of low it, it
would be impossible for the meicb
nuts to help them at that time.
Though the cnMiiug conference be

was held many ,vear- ngn, the mem

After some two liour.' di-cussioii,
