DON'T DO 1T.

Elsewhere in this issue President SIMON
calls meeting, for this morning, of the
board of directors of the chamber of COM
MERGE and the members of the bureau of
transportation. The occasion for this call
will be found in communication addressed
to the gentleman named, and which is
printed in full in this issue. If one will
read the letter signed by Messrs. re- CHAM
BERs, E. P. FERRY and others. he will learn
something of the necessity for the prompt
action which President SIMON has taken,
but he may not understand how serious
will be the consequences of the carrying
into effect of the threat said to have been
made by the Rio Grande Western.
1t is novel position for anybody in this
community to occupy to be asking that rail
way freight rates be not reduced, and yet
we are assured that the proposed reduction
will close every smelter in this valley; that
is to say, it will close them unless there
shall be corresp bonding reduction on coke,
iron ore, coal and the various fluxes which
must be brought in from Colorado aud
other places. The shutting down of the
shelters would be serious disaster to the
Industrial world hereabouts; serious not
merely to the owners of the smelters and
their employees, but to the mining indus
try generally, for comparatively few of the
mines produce ore sufficiently rich to pay
for its shipment to Denver or the Missouri
river even at the reduced rate. The low
grade mines would shut down with the
closing of the local shelters and the great
money producing industry be practically
paralyzed.
1t is manlfestly unfair to Park City to
demand an increase of the rates on its ore
shipments. 1t is unfair because the road
| which is carrying the ore and has always
carried 1t, says it is getting fair price for
its services and doesn't want mora. So
long as that road is content, we submit
that another company ought not to insist
that the mine owners be taxed so per cent.
more than they are paying.
The HERALD cannot but think that the
Rio Grande is making a mistake in this
matter. We don't care how much it cuts
rates, or how savagely it fights competit-
ors; but it is unfair to punish the commu-
nifty in these contests. The public is not
the offender and ought not to be made to
suffer. The public should get the benefit
of the rivalry
1t is to be hoped that at the meeting this
morning such action will be taken as will
prevent the threatened trouble; and that
the Western will see the wisdom of con-
Quoting its warfare upon railroads in such
a manner as not to hurt the public more
than it does it's competitors.

UTAH is CONTENT.

A HERALD Washington special or Friday
morning explained why this paper and
why the great majority of the taxpayers of
this territory are not eager for state gov
ernment. Our correspondent at the capital
examined the appropriation bills and ascer
tanned what sums will come out of the
federal treasury to pay the expenses OF
local government in Utah. Among the
items will be found one of $4,000 for the
expenses of the territorial courts. That is
q considerable sum of T1oney, and if the
nation did not pay it we would have to
do SO, in addition to what we now
pay for court expenses. Then there is an
item of $4,000 for the salaries of the
judges, the governor and the secretary.
If this were state the taxpayers would
have to pay these salaries, and the total
would be fully 80 per cent. more than the
amount above, for the people would want
first-class men for these Offices and would
give the pay that first class men require
for their services. Another item is S22. 600
for legislative expenses, and this the state
would be compelled to pay, and the sum
would be at least double that which Con-
gress gives, for no state would pretend to
restrict its legislative expenses to $50, 900 a
session. Then Congress votes SOS. 500
for the privilege of conducting the
local elections, all the expenses
of which under state government would
necessarily be borne by the taxpayers who
are now only at the expense of going to the
polls and voting.
And 80 the items run along down the list
the total of the appropriations coming to
this territory being, in round numbers,
1856, 900. Suppose this were state, all
this money would be taken from the pockets
of the people, in addition to what they now

A Muskrat Farm.

Considerable interest attaches now
adays 10 the sugge stIon that the state es-
tabiish muskrat farm for the purpose
of making observations. The suggestion
came IN ali good faith from q prominent
member of the signal corps, who held
that as SO much stress was laid upon the
tiickness of the walls OF "a muskrat's
home as an indication of mild or severe
winters, it would pay the stare to found
an experimental station, where the
iovial rodent and the somewhat retiring
ground hog might be reared at public
expense and their habits recorded for

STATE DAIRY COMMISSIONER
REPORT.

The third biennial report of the Min
uesota Dairy and Food Commissioner,
presents some facts ana figures
which prove concusively that the de-
partment has done much good and af-
fective work. The report says that
"olemargarine dressed in the garb of
dairy and creamery butter has. been
driven from the state" and that she
cheese industry has received a wonder
ful impetus" since the enforcement of
the law, full cream cheese being in de-
mand at good prices and eagerly sought
after by the trade. The report gives no
better illustration of this improvement
than its statement that the sales of state
cheese in 1889 amounted to only So 900
lbs. and of foreign 727 900 lbs, while
during 1889, after the enforcement of
the law, the sales of the state cheese
reached 1,456, 900 pounds. and of
foreign only 294, 1000 lbs. In other
words, the enforcement of the law
against adulterated cheese caused re-
duction of sales of cheese made outside
the state of 49,, 500 lbs, and increased
the sales of Minnesota state cheese S74,
900 lbs Another gratifying exhibit is
also found in the fact that IN 1886 there
were only 50 creameries in the state,
while in 1890, 235, and OF cheese factories

AGAINST SECRET ORDERS.

We are informed that the Norwegian
Lutheran Synod church voted last week
that members of secret orders should
not be eligible to membership in the
church. This question had been discus
sed for month past, and the final ac-
ton is not received in any friendly spir-
ii by the members who belong to differ
ent orders in this city. They compose
about one-fourth of the church member
ship, and should they withdraw the
CHURCH would lose considerable of its
support. The predjudice against the SCI
cret orders seems to be owing to the be-
lief that they absorb considerable mon
ey in buildings and charitable work,
which should be devoted to church work.
The seven members affected look upon
the action Last week as virtually expel-
ling them, but do not propose to give up
their secret orders. While the FREE
Press would not be guilty of ASSERT. g
that these fraternal organizations, famli-
larry known as secret orders, should IN
any way supplant the church, it is new
ertheless free 70 say that the teachings
of the various orders better prepare
men TO receive and appreciate true
Christianity as promulgated through the
church. and instead of being enemies
to the church are help and strength.
A misapprehension of the true worth
of fraternal orders exists in the minds
of some people who persist in being
blindly led by prejudice, and refuse to
look into the teachings and good works
of these societies. As a consequence
they know not what they denounce,
neither do they know of the great good
which is being continually wrought
to mankind through these agencies.
In this enlightened period of the
Nineteenth century, it seems strange,
indeed, that church should so narrow
itself to prejudice as to question the
right of 1ts members to ally themselve to
any fraternal organization which will
enlarge their field of usefulness to suf-
fering humanity.
