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
