who have had, the courage to iaveat
large auma in experimental enterpriaea
which promiae ao much for the material
welfare and proaperity of Nebraaka.*
It la amaalng that any citizen of Hojit
county, where the drat chicory factory
haa been built, ahould feel aggrieved
became it haa given employment to
naan and boya night and day thiaaenaon.
Tnatead of trying to auppreaa the
chicory indjiatry, Nebraaka haa reaaon
to teal proud that It la the 11 rat atate in
the union that haa undertaken to com
pete with foreign countriea which have
up to thla time had a monopoly In
aupplying America with chicory.
It la alao amaalng that any man or
newapaper In Nebraaka ahould decry
the policy of encouraging augar beet
culture by bounty, conditioned on the
payment to the farmer of a fixed price,
which given the beet raiaer the benefit
whether the price of augar goea up or!
down. While it la true that the Ox-j
narda have indirectly profited by the
atate bounty on‘augar voted two yeara
ago, the main object of the law waa to
prevent the daring of their factorlee,
and, If poatfble, to aeonre the erection
of additional faOtbriea. Everybody
knowa that the heavy export bountlea
paid by (eaaina ennatriea make it
impoaalble for American beet augar
manufactureca to compete without aome
preteotiott or cewaterbalenctag bounty.
The only.reaeon why no new factor!ea
have bean erected nader/the new bounty
law la the. uncertainty, of the bounty
coupled with the financial diaturbancea
that have kept capital from venturing
into any new.enterprlej. *
Em - ■■wan that tbs Nebraska
sugar factories ace- owned by eugaC
baron* and belong to tbe trait, which is
not true, why should Nebraska object
to having their mousy permanently
invested in this state rfuher than in
soma other stater fh* Bee does not
hesitate to take the ggttition that it
would favo.r the payment of a bounty to
the Vanderbilts, Goulds, Rothschilds or
the whole money power if by so doing
it could Insure the establishment of
twenty or thirty beet sugar and chicory
factories in different parts of the state
within the next five years. The factor*
tes of the barons and money changers
would add millions to toe taxable valu
ation of the state. They wonld add
millions to the value of Nebraska lands
adaptable to sugar beet and chicory
culture, besides Increasing the consump
tion of home products by giving em
ployment to thousands of workingmen
and women.
It is easy enough to destroy industries.
It is the work of years to develop and
build up the resources of a state. And
when it comes to footing the bills the
towns and cities pay much the greater
part of the tax, which after all Is trivial
compared with tbe benefits.—Bee.
