I came to Colorado first in 1868, although T have lived in New Mexico part of the time out of that Ceriod. I know Colorado pretty well. I have seen it grow, I have enefited by the growth of that valley, and I feel sure in my own mind that the beet-sugar industry has tended to enhance the value of our property and brought into the valley the homes and the little houses you see on every 40 acres, and I feel that in my own interest solely I ought to do everything I can to try and keep that progress going on, and I feel that with a reduction of the tariff that progress would not go on. The Chairman. In other words, that is the reason you thought it was proper to come down here, on account of this talk about reducing the tariff on sugar? Mr. Riley. Yes; that is true. The Chairman. That is exactly what I wanted to get at. You must understand this, however, and I want this to go in the record, it was not the purpose of the chairman to criticize you or anyone else who may entertain your views about this matter. Mr. Riley. I am here to tell you the truth about it. The Chairman. Even if I differed from you as far as one pole from another, I would not criticize you for coming here and stating your views. We are not hidebound at all. We want to hear you, whether we may agree with you or not. And now vou say vou do not know Mr. Bodkin? Mr. Riley. No, sir. The Chairman. Or Mr. Combs? Mr. Riley. No, sir. The Chairman. Or Mr. Dakin? Mr. Riley. I think not. The Chairman. Are you a member of the Farmers' Union of Colorado? Mr. Riley. No, sir. The Chairman. You do not belong to that organization at all? Mr. Riley. No, sir. The Chairman. You do not belong to the beet growers' division
