P- O....................................................State.................................................. The following letter was addressed to H. C. Baldridge by J. A Stewart prominent real estate dealer of Biackfcot, who has accumulated considerable valuable knowledge in the cultivation of sugar beets and their effect on real estate values through many years of experience in the real estate business. The let ter was first published in the Parma Review. Honorable H. C. Baldridge, Parma, Idaho. Dear Governor: "Again referring to your letter vith reference to the sugar beet /lews on this situation. I am ituation, I give you now my person al positive that if it was not for the sugar beet factories in this country and the revenue from the beet sit s'ion, that our land values would c nowhere near what they are or have been. “It has been my experience that in territories where sugar factories are operated it adds materially to the value of real esate, not only for farm lands but city property. There is a great revenue derived from beets, and it is more widely distri buted than any other crop raised, as the raising and harvesting of same take a great amount of labor. It also adds to the feeding of livestock, not only in dairying, but principally lambs and beef. “It also causes farmers to be more consistent in building up their soil, and if properly handled you will see production raise materially when ever beets are grown. There is no crop that you could raise which would take more work, more effort to produce, than a beet crop. Now, I do not mean to insinuate that it is the best paying crop, but I do mean to say that it will add a great deal of wealth to any community where beets are profitably grown, and I am sure within the Upper Snake River Valley, where I am more familiarly acquainted, that if it was not for the sugar beet industry, that our lands would have nowhere near the value they do have. “It is true that for several years the price of beets has not been too promising, but it looks at the pres ent time that beets may go to $8. At least, I am reasonably sure that we will receive this year $7.00 and I am in hopes that the program can be worked out where beets will always be a fair price. “Hoping that this will answer your former letter, I beg to remain “Yours very truly, “J. A. Stewart."

Cities Have Power To Ban Peddlers University oi Oregon, Eugene. April 29—Cities of Oregon may feel free to pass ordinances banning the "unvited door bell ringer,” it is declared in a bulletin entitled, "Re striction of Peddlers as a Nuisance,” just issued by fhe League of Oregon Cities in cooperation with the Bur eau of Muncipal Research of the University of Oregon. The bulletin, the work of the league's legal department, thor oughly reviews the “Green River" ordinance which has been the basis of considerable litigation. This or dinance which prohibits peddlers from entering private property un- state commerce when such conduct results in annoyance to individuals in their right to enjoy the peace and quiet of their homes free from the frequent disturbance of the uninvit ed dcorbell ringer. The Green River ordinance en joins the practice of solicitors, ped dlers hawkers, Itinerant merch ants and transient vendors of mer chandise. in going, uninvited upon private premises for the purposes of neddlng or solicitng orders for the sale of goods, wares and merchan dise, and declares the same to be a nuisance punishable as a misde meanor. the report states. "To avoid charge of discrimina tion. the ordinance is drawn to ap ply equally to the local or transient peddler.” it is stated. “Its enforce ment requires evidnee that the act complained cf was disturbing and annoying to the housewife or other occupant of the premises and de pends upon coopeiative supprrt of those disturbed.” less invited by the owner or resi dent, has been sustained in the courts and its legality unquestion ably established, the bulletin points out. "Recently, the legality of banning th uninvited doorbell ringer has been established, thus opening up tc cities a second form of control. By declaring the practice of going in and upon private residences un invited to be a nuisance, cities may make such entry a misdemeanor.” The bulletin points out that ir, 1931 the city of Green River, Wyo ming, determined that peddlers and solicitors frequently constituted an annoyance to the housewives and citizens of that community and an ordinance was enacted prohibiting uninvited entry upon private prop erty as a nuisance. This ordinance is not directed against the business but against the manner in which business is con ducted, and extends to the manner of peddling and soliciting in inter SATURDAY SALE Guaranteed AT THE N YSSA SALE Y A R D —ON— RADIO SERVICE BY Expert Radiotrician Using only the best materials and fully equipped.
