| Show TRE THE SUGAR BOUNTY QUESTION I 1 republican politician ciani are try int ng to frighten frig ten the people of utah over the prospect of electing a democratic legislature ca this fill fall they say that democrats are arc enemies to home industry and will therefore do everything in their power to strike down tile the manufacturing establishments of the territory aitor y the republican organ of this city even goes so far as to declare that their special object of attack will be the sugar factory now if any ana one will stop to consider for a moment that the stock in n this sugar factory is owned largely angely by democrats that one democrat in this county owns more stock in it than all the republicans of tile the county put 4 toe together ther and that t these heso dem socratic stockholders are ake active able business men who would not dot seek to destroy a I 1 concern in which their heir money is invested then does docs it t not perm that republican calam ity ty howlers bowlers are overstepping 0 the bounds of truth two years ago 0 this oame flame que question tion came up republican orators went about warning the people against democracy republican newspapers were full of e ghost host stories concerning industries democracy had blau slaughtered literee lit ered there was no fact on which to base their ridiculous fears but the tricksters trick knew that democrats alwa always y s had opposed and always would oppose thedac the doctrine of taxing the many marly forthe for the benefit of a few therefore the bounty question was maue made an issue in the campaign 0 two years ago republican leaders declared arcol that a democratic leis le legislature is would kill tile the sugar factor at lehi by refusing the bounty of 14 cents per pound on oil all sugar 0 it produced democratic leaders insisted that the factory could go 90 right on without that bounty and took the ground that it was wrong to I keep eel it up with the peoples taxes anyway A director odthe of the sugar factory in order to aid the republican party wrote a letter to the public offering to the person who would show how the factory could be run rian a year without this territorial bounty in spite of the warning a democratic legislature teas elected THE BOUNTY WAS nor GRANTED and the sugar factory has been running in full blast ever since six months after the legislature 0 had refused the bounty bill the standard a radical republican organ orga ca n c camo ame out with these then words in glaring headlines sugar beet acreage four times more beets planted this year than last this was on oil the of march 1 1892 and tras as hallowed fallowed fall fol owed lowal by this editorial taken from another republican organ organ L and bounty advocate the provo

there was last y year ear and more than three fourths liB of those alio raised sugar beets last year are raising them this on twice as much gi annd the same happy conditions exist else the books 00 of

acres this thia year vear and so it goes showing that the farmers li clieve believe that there lire are profits in sugar beet baisi raisins ig regardless repard lesa of what some of our Dento democratic cratic friends say 11 on the of november 1892 the deseret news published an interview with 1 elias aias morris president of the utah sugar 0 company lie said last year vc N e manufactured pounds of this year alie output hasteen has hoen rounds greater and the company is perfectly satisfied with the investment what has been the average price of su suar vr this ear per hundred i M eight from to 1625 that compare with mth last years prices there is practically no how many acres of beets were planted this year vear arid and I 1 how ow per er ton were ere the farmers pai paid d for them thear twenty wo to hundred acres acrea and they were paid 5 per ton for them 00 oo do the farmers make money at that price gout goud farmers banners do poor ones do not some of 0 them have lne done ery uell e this year and others 1 I suppose badly that class of men know na aa practical farmers have hae made kio per acre and they the have evidenced their by signifying I 1 n their intention of doublin doubling their r b beet beet acreage next year on oil the jay day of september 1892 the iho lehi lebi banner published as a leading 0 editorial the following once more the sugar buyar factory is ia running in lull full blast and fl up this thia seasons aBona se crop of oe beets and utah sugar will again be on tile market as the first sugar front from this ears beets was turned out 1 esterday at 6 thus w e will once more 1 artly supply thy the demand for or sugar tile the regret now dow is ia that we cannot make enough to supply the inter mou ulian district we have every facility at our doors except tile be factories chere are many inert anxious anxious i to work in the these thee e and other oilier factories when they began on monday mom moin ing there was enough men inert on the ground to run two such factories does that look like the eu sugar ar factory had been hilled by the legislature L which voted down the bounty bill almost a year before but look the lehi danver banner a year later september the 1893 3 almost two years after the bounty was voted dow down n it says and the standard quotes it achi is the brightest tonn own in utah at the present time now by the lie sugar factory in tile trian i p of the sugar beets beet on ih the fa farms rm s taking up and topping beets 10 rn men en arid and 50 boys inside anaide the factory and n 0 outside outride tu men anen making a total of I 1 m hands besides these there are about GO 50 to 75 private persons taking up their own beets there are about 25 teanis teams hauling beets which with want are brought in by bv the railroads deliver to the factory SOO tons per day this thia will give some idea of what this industry is ii doing for our town and we haic not told all who milo are finding by this industry for there are quite a number of pei PC volis who nho raised beets mho have not bet 5 et been called upon to take thim them if up rhe crop this year vear ii so encouraging that it is thought that the he application to raise beets next nest year will be greater than t the lie factory can con contract tract for the sentiment in favor of this industry is so chani changed zed there is a large amount of land this year i aich xv will ill yield front from 20 to 3 31 tons per acre some beets have already been dug which go 30 tons to tile acre aich at ia 5 per ton beings per acre this certainly shows that ever every y republican who said that the sugar sugar 0 factory would die it if the legislature 0 failed to pass the bounty bill was a false prophet it proves beyond a doubt and those republican republic in orators arid and editors were either woefully ignorant or wilfully deceitful the flourishing M sugar factor factory y of utah stands today a living thriving ti iriving witness of republican duplicity the sugar factory did not die a although the bounty was refused it hat has been growing ever since the bounty bills defeat and its stockholders are perfectly satisfied with their investment then since it can run without appropriating appropriation a part of the peoples money it would be a crime to take that money or any portion there of and bestow it upon a corporation that seems to get along 0 so icci without it there is ia no question but what men will be found to raise bee beela and make sugar in this country if it pays if it does not pay why should the masses of the people be called upon to contribute taxes for the purpose of hiring men tu engage in a losif losing business why should all people lie be taxed to make good the losses of a small number Cs especially ally when abo those se few seem perfectly able to take caro care of themselves put but the republican organ of this city is alart alarmed ned for fear the democrats will control the next legislature and take away tile the sugar suar bounty ilas has its editorial staff been asleep for these two years then let it awake and hear the truth THERE IS 18 NO territorial BOUNTY TO TAKE AWAY Ite republican publican leaders should lay that bugaboo bug 21 a boo aside |
