Financial Powers OF the City.

The establishment of the copper plant
in this city, about which SO much has
been said, would undoubtedly be for the
benefit and prosperity of the inhabitants
1t is one OF the very things which the
business people have been signing for. 1t
is just the kind of industry that they have
been anticipating. They are doing right
in making strenuous efforts to secure it..
The failure to obtain by subscription
all the money necessary for this purpose
was unfortunate. 1t is to be regretted,
not only because the kind of talk that
means cash appears to be much scarcer
than the other sort which is only sound,
but because it has necessitated a step that
is of a somewhat doubtful character.
The application to the city council for
an appropriation of $50, 900 as a bonus to
the copper company was prompted by an
excellent motive. The public welfare
was in view of the gentlemen who asked
for it and of the councilmen who signified
their Willingness to support the request.
At the same time it must be clear to
every thinking person who understands
the limits OF the lawful powers OF the
city council, that the city has no right to
engage in private enterprise nor to
donate public money to establish or sup
port one.
The truth is sometimes unpleasant and
this is not pleasurable statement TO
make; nevertheless it IS beyond serious
question that public funds can only be
applied lawfully for public purpose. The
general welfare clause of city charter
does not cover any such expenditure as
that which was contemplated in an ap
preparation to secure this copper enter
prise Any expenditures for the welfare
and prosperity of the inhabitants Of the
city must be of public character and for
public object.
If the city can give $40, 200 to encourage
a copper industry, why not $500, 900 or a
dLlOAASs ii ~ Cdl aDDTOOll0lG
public funds for one private enterprise.
why not for many others? Where would
be the limit? What would restrain the
city authorities but their own preferences?
1t will be said, perhaps, in this instance
they are backed by public sentiment.
The people who pay etaxes are not only
willing but anxious to have the money
appropriated for the purpose Perhaps
so. But that is only true of portion OF
the taxpaying public. And one disagree
ing taxpayer could enioin the city au-
thorities from paying the money, and he
would have no end of law and precedents
TO sustain The iniunction.i
It is true that if nobody made objection.
the appropriation would stand, and that
many cities have advanced much larger
sums to secure the establishment of nee
sssary industries and enterprises; and the

Start the Ball Rolling.

One of the causes of the stringency in
financial and business circles which is
being complained of so loudly is the ne
eject of people to pay their honest debts.
Many OF these are but trifling, perhaps,
but in the aggregate they make large
sum. If everybody who owes anything
would make an effort to pay up, consid-
cradle money would be put into circuia-
ton and great relief would be the natural
consequence.
Failures in business are chiefly due
to this neglect to ''pay what thou
owest. The credit system cannot be
abolished. 1t might be greatly curtailed,
but the commercial relations of the
world are such that credit is absolutely
essential within certain limits. Goods
are bought by dealers on time and per-
haps this must be so in many instances.
1t is not that which we refer to so much
as the individual credit system, and the
neglect OF individuals to pay what they
owe to each other and to the business
houses with which they deal.
At the theatre short lineage, when
it was crowded in every part and trashy
performance had drawn the great multi
tude, it was remarked that there seemed
to be plenty of money in city, judging
from that audience. Eyes" said q
gentleman in reply, "and there are lot
of people here who owe me and can t
pay,'' and under his breath he continued,
"There are some here that owe; and 1
can't pay them"
If general reform in this particular
could be inaugurated, it would be of great
financial benefit. Il each debtor would
make an effort to pay what he owes sal
utary change would take place in money
matters, business would be stimulated
and activity would succeed the present
lamented stagnation. Leteverybody make
an effort A little money set in motion
and kept in circulation has widespread
effect and all classes of the community
reap portion of its benefits. Pay your
honest debts!
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1893-02-11

expenditure has proven to be wise in every
sense. But that does not alter the fact
that under the charter of this city no such
power is conferred upon the council, and
while there is no doubt that the whole
community would be benefited by the es-
tablishment of the industry in question,
it is private enterprise and bonus to
secure it would be an illegal expenditure
of public money.
The charter gives the city council power
ito appropriate money for corporate pur-
poses only That is direct and conclu-
sive and ought to settle any dispute as to
its lawful authority. People who think
some OF the members too squeamish on
this matter, should look at it in the light
of the law if they do not zee that the prin-
ciple involved is in itself incorrect.
1t seems that an arrangement has been
effected whereby this difficulty may
perhaps be avoided and aid be given to
establish the desired industry. The city
council have power under the charter, to
purchase, receive, hold, sell, lease, con-
vey and dispose of property real and per-
sonal for the benefit of the city, both
within and without its corporate bound
aries; to improve and protect such prop
! erty, and to do all other things in relation
thereto as natural persons" It is I'M
derstood that the SEE, 900 appropriated by
the city council is to be advanced on good
real estate, the dealers in which will de-
vote the purchase money to complete the
required bonus, and that when the real
estate is sold the money will be recovered
into the city treasury and the city is likely
to be the gamer instead of loser in the
transaction.
Without attempting to question the ex-
act legality of this arrangement it looks
as though it came nearer to being within
the line of the chartered powers of the
city than direct gift of public money
to private corporation. If it is
justified at all, however, it is
by the public sentiment which is SO
strongly in favor of the enterprise. 1t is
OF course to be understood that all the
purchasing and selling powers of the city
relate to public uses and public purposes.
That must be kept in view in this trans
action. If the mayor comes to the con-
clusion that the city authorities can legit-
imately make this explained arrange
ment, it is not very likely that there will
be any public opposition to it's consum-
nation.
The copper plant is wanted. Every body
seems agreed on that. It is to be regretted
that the bonus required to secure its es-
tablishment could not be raised without
recourse to anything but strictly private
sources. The public revenues cannot be
guarded too strictly.

Marvellous Metal Wealth.

1t is very remarkable that something
practical is not done to develop the iron
resources of Iron county. The deposits OF
the precious metal-for it is precious in
deed when we consider how essential it is
in so many industries-in that region are
simply marvellous.
Not long ago, sample of the ore was
sent east. 1t was as nearly pure metal as
could exist IN a crude state. The CUES
ton was asked, chow large is the vein
from which this was taken.'' The reply
was, "there is mountain of it, eyes,
yes,' said the questioner, ''but how
many feet of vein of this ore is there in
the mountain When informed that
there was an actual mountain of ore Just
like that. incredulity took the place OF in
quiry, and the statement was considered
SO preposterous that it damaged the whole
matter in the eyes of the interrogation.
The report was not an exaggeration
Iron exists not far from Cedar city in such
quantities and in such quality that it is
perfectly astonishing. Yet there it lies,
undeveloped for the lack OF money to
bring it into use. It may be that rail-
road IS one OF the essentials to its profit
able production. Even in that event it is
passing strange that some outside capital
lists have not dropped on TO the fact,
that several big fortunes are sleeping in
those vast deposits and that when suffi-
cient capital and energy and skill are
brought to bear upon them, riches will be
assured to an immense amount and labor
provided for host OF workers.
1t IS impossible to believe that silence
will much longer surround those treas
ures of metal. Southern Utah must vet
give them up for the uses OF the world and
Utah iron VIII become famous, while nu-
merous industries will flourish as the re-
suit of its manufacture and the coming
state will prosper through the wealth that
must be the certain consequence.

This Is Meant for you.

1t has been truly said that half the world
does not know how the other half lives.
Comparatively few OF us have perfect
health, owing to the impure condition of
our blood: But we rub along from day TO
day, with scarcely a thought. unless
forced to our attention, of the thousands
all about us who are suffering from scrof-
ula, salt rheum and other serious blood
disorders, and whose agonies can only be
imagined. The marked success of Hoods
Sarsaparilla for these troubles, as shown
in our advertising columns frequently.
certainly seems to justify urging the use
of this excellent medicine by all who know
that their blood is disordered. Every
claim in behalf of Hoods Sarsaparilla is
fully backed up by what the medicine has
done and is still doing, and when its pro-
prietors urge its merits and its use upon
all who suffer from impure blood, in
great or small degrees, they certainly
mean to include you.

Attention. Taxpayers!

The determination of the county court,
as announced in THE HERALD yesterday,
TO give public notice of the amount of
taxes due from each taxpayer who has
not paid the ten per cent. extra assess
ment, is very considerate of the interests
of those delinquents. In most instances
the sums due are small. Nevertheless
they must be paid or there viii be Moth
ing left for the collector to do but levy on
the property and put it up at public sale.
The ten per cent. was added to the orig
inal assessment, by the Board OF Equaliz-
alton, after the first notices had been is
sued on the amounts named thereon had
been in some instances paid and
receipted for. Those persons who hold
such receipts may think they are safe in
neglecting to pay the further assessment.
In that they will find themselves mis-
taken. The collectors receipt being only
for the original assessment it will not be
received as evidence of payment OF the
full tax, because the Board had the legal
power to make the increase.
Taxpayers, then, should be sure that
they have settled in full for their taxes
for 1892. And when they receive notice,
either by printed form or newspaper adj
vertisement, that they are delinquent,
they had better call at the collectors
Office at the county court building and
settle, or they will subject themselves to
further expense and inconvenience.
