SOMETHING TO REJOICE OVER

Seeing that some Of our people
were opposed to the division of old
Ada county and the organization
Of Canyon county, il might be in
teresting at this time to make a
few comparisons. 1t appears that
the County commissioners of Ada
county are making record that
inclines the taxpayers over there
to sweat. The board allowed
themselves for services, from Jan
nary to October the very modest
sum Of $35O7 As, about $1169.15
each. While the commissioner of
Canyon county, from November
10Th, 1892 to October. 1893, inclu-
sive, have only paid themselves
20, about $2S7.23 each. The
Chairman of Ada county's board
received about $1,000, while the
chairman of CANYON county's board
only received 1916. This is a fair
sample of the difference in Ada
county and Canyon county manage
ment, and it would seem that the
taxpayers of this county have
much occasion for self.congratula.
ton, and that generous mead of
praise is due our officers. The
TRIBUNE believes that it is the pur-
pose of the Board of commissioners
of this county to conduct public
business as economically as pos
sible. We believe that those offic-
ers take keen pride in placing
the county upon sound financial
basis; and when it is considered |
what opportunities are afforded for |
rake off" at the organiza ton Of |
new county, it was piece of ex-
cellent good fortune that men were
put at the helm who could not be
tempted from the paths of rectitude.
Up to date, there is every reason
Tor the people of Canyon county to
rejoice in that they no longer be-
long to Ada, and may regard with
the Investigations and
exposures which are rife in the old
roost.

COMES HOME TO PLAGUE,

What does it all mean anyway? Du-
bois, ShOup and Sweet all showed them
selves true friends of silver during the
extra session of congress, and almost
every IdahOdn was proud of the states
representatives. But of late a cOmpO-
sitiOn, fulsome in its praise of them, es-
pecially of Dubois, has been the rounds
OF our Republican contemporaries. 1t is
the same in all the papers and as it
appears, almost simultaneously, it looks
as though it had been furnished them
by some one, probably to boom Dubois.
We can but wonder what he has done
to deserve such heavy coat of white
wash. We realv don't think he deserves
such an intliction. If it was sent forth
by hisfriends. he needs some one to save
him from his friends. If he himself
had anything to do in sending it out he
isn't the man he appeared to be in the
United States Senate. We believe our
representatives in congress are worthy
men. They don't need anv such boost
ing as that article seeks to give them.
1t is positively damaging. for it dis
gusts the reader. We believe in whole
some praise but when it comes to daub-
ing whole barrel of soft soap over a
man we don't think his complexion is
improved by the process.
The foregoing, taken from the
Salubria Citizen. expresses a pal
pable fact in plain language. We
should be sorry to think that Sen
ator DUBOIS had anything to do
with the arlicle referred to and cand.
idly believe he had not. Indeed,
there Is serious question to the
purpose of its publication. If it
were intended as an act of friend
ship, the Senator is most unhappy
in the genius of HE friends. We
rather surmise that loyalty to Mr..
DUBOIS person or regard for his
reputation had little to do with the
production. True sentiment is
rarely concealed beneath such OBJ
sequious verbiage and honest ad-
miration detests sycophaney. The
tribune received a type written
copy of the article and for refusing
to publish it was sharply rebuked
by a contemporary. We bore the !
in silence and fortitude |
showing that sooner or later that !,
article would come home to plague |
somebody. 1t was too unctuous 10 |
pass current. A Senator NAV be /
able to stand that kind 70 dressing. /
but there is a point at which the
common stomach rebels aud that
point was surpassed in the article

reason We suspect the design. We
are. therefore. quite anxious to

NEW ERA DAwN,No.

| n
n We are informed by good author
fifty that the canal companies in
this section contemplate radical
change in their method Of furnish
ing water. The perpetual right"
is to be- done away with altogether;
that is to say,no such privilege will
be sold, neither, as now understood,
will it be required. Heretofore,
the policy has been to sell to each
farmer a so called perpetual right
and in addition charge a mainte-
nance fee. The cost of perpetual
right has generally been $40 per
acre and the maintenance charge
from one to two dollars per acre
The contemplated system is to
grant free the perpetual right and
charge only an annual rental.
This is splendid step in the right
direction and the canal companies
deserve great credit for taking it.
The perpetual right" business is
clean steal; it is the selling of
something which does not and can
not exist. No man has right in
water except he who actually em-
plotes it for beneficial purposes.
Appropriation is nothing unless fol-
lowed by useful application. How
ever, the promised changed does
away with the discussion and every
right minded person will rejoice
to learn that the perpetual right"
is about to become extinct. This re-
moves great obstacle to the settle
ment and development Of the coun.
try. 1t will operate as mighty
impetus to progress ard prosperity.
If the companies will accede to
a few more ideas, the TRIB-
UNE will feel that justice has been
done, and gladly assist, with the
best ability it has, not only in max
ing the country at large prosperous,
but in making the irrigation enter
prises financially successful First,
a fair annual rental rate should be |
established. a rate that will be COM
to the capital invested |
and actual cost of maintenance.
Second, provision shall be made
whereby, eventually, the farmers
who use the canal NAV be The sole
stockholders. The last proposition
involves some difficulties but with
a right disposition everything can
be satisfactorily adjusted Let it
clearly appear that the farmers
and canal people have common
interests, ana tina, on the prosper
lty OF one depends success of the
other, then there will be no further
trouble Ii the canal people are
not utterly blind. they must forsee
that some day, ownership of water
must reside in the tiller of the soil.
That thing is sure to come about.

Two Good Movements,

There were two wise things done in
public affairs on Tuesday: The joint city
and county committee on the public
building let out the so-called contractor,
and required him to turn over his ac-
counts to the Mayor, and arranged to take
charge themselves of the erection of the
structure. 1t appears the contractor like
BARKIs was ''willin, - and the change is
virtually effected.
Mr.. BOWMAN is to remain as the super
intendent OF construction. That prob
ably sizes up his capacity. The contract
was too much for him. The Mayor will
now make the necessary disbursements
direct, and probably the work on the city
and county building will go ahead and
the edifice will be pushed to completion.
The city council decided, in spite of
strong efforts from various directions to
the contrary, to have the gravity sewer
constructed of brick and concrete, in
stead of brick all round as majority of
the board OF works thought best. We
believe they have acted wisely and that
permanency is secured which could not
have been attained by the full brick
method.
Think of the damage to the whole
structure that would soon ensue if here
and there a brick on the bottom OF the
sewer should be poorer than its neighbors
and wash out or be dissolved by the action
of the sewage! The council examined
this matter in the light OF wisdom
and the experience of observing men,
and we believe they reached the right
conclusion, Notwithstanding the plea that
by the use of concrete some money would
go out of the territory which would be
spent at home if the all brick method was
adopted.
In the construction of SO expensive a
sewer system it was necessary that the
first consideration should be thorough
efficiency. Home materials of course
should be used as far as possible and
consistent with the main object in
view. Cost also comes into the matter
and is very important. but the best is the
cheapest in many things and the rule
holds good in this instance.
The contract is let to firm that has
done excellent work in other city enter
prises. and we believe it is generally ad-
mitted that the gentlemen composing it
are not only reliable and honest in their
labor and the furnishing OF materials,
but thoroughly competent to fill the
contract and do the work thoroughly.
We are pleased to be able to commend
something that the City Council have de-
termined upon and that they appear to
have done with SO much harmony of feel
ing and unanimity of purpose.

California Editors Visit.

The visit to this city of the California
Press association is sure to be productive
of good to all concerned. The ladies and
gentlemen who were entertained by the
Salt Lake City Press club are pleasant,
brainy, genial people, intent on gaining
information and apparently DESTROYS OF
presenting facts as far as they can learn
them, and OF giving to the public their
experiences and observations rather than
their imaginings.
1t is the truth that Utah wants to be
told concerning her. OF that she never
need be afraid. Notwithstanding all the
endeavors OF just people who have visited
this territory TO put her right before the
public, Utah is yet much misunderstood
and maligned, sometimes even by people
who dwell within her borders.
When intelligent people see for them
selves what the citizens of this territory
have done, when they converse with resi-
dents here and find that they are as ad-
vanced in everything that tends to pro-
mote the common welfare as other people
are, when they size up the situation and
contrast what is, with what has been
said to prejudice the public against Utah
folks. they experience change OF heart
and are imbued with desire to tell what
they have seen and what they feel.
Newspaper people, especially the coun-
try press, are more likely to help in cor
recting the public mind concerning this
territory and its citizens than other folks.
The great city papers have not, as rule,
been disposed to do much IN that direc-
ton. Our visitors are editors and writers
of the interior press of California and they
have seen enough to give them ample op-
portunities to do Utah justice through
the columns which they control. That
they will eudeavor to- do this we have no
doubt.
In this way Utah viii receive benefit
from their visit. And they will lose
nothing by their call upon us. They
have gained much information that is re-
liable and educational, concerning ter
ritory soon TO become an important state
that has and will have close and valuable
relations with their own. The benefits
from their visit will thus be mutual.
We hope they will have a pleasant trip
to the great city by the lake and carry
with them agreeable impressions con-
corning their friends in Utah. Also that

How to Delay Statehood.

A Repu blican sheet that processes to be
| favorable to statehood makes many very
foolish remarks concerning the resigna-
ton OF the Delegate, the supposed ques-
ton of veracity between that gentleman
and the President, and the effect that the
occurrence will have upon Utah affairs.
Among them it says: sit will prove ru-
nous to the statehood scheme. -
AS to the President the remark is in bad
taste and founded only on rumor. Let
the fact be established that there has been
any such question before comment is
made upon it. The alleged information
comes from a source that the Re-
publican sheet has frequently re-
pudiated as unreliable. But it is
SO anxious to get in dig at President
CLEVELAND that it will take advantage
of any opening no matter how it is made
or who made it.
Concerning the s'statehood scheme, -
why should this resignation prove 'sruin-
ous''? And why speak of the movement
in that contemptuous manner? 1t seems
to have copied the language and tactics
as we'll as the rumors of the paper it al
fects to despise but often tries to initiate.
We are further told that: 'sThis action
simply will have the tendency to delay
statehood for five years" What are we
to understand by that? Obi here is the
explanation: We are assured that ssthe
next delegate from Utah will be a Repub-
lican." Well, that would have ten
dency that way, to be sure.
Republicans who sincerely want Utah
to be state, take notice! If the next
Delegate from Utah is Republican it
will have the tendency to delay statehood
for five years. That is strong argu-
ment, is it not, against the election, nay
against the nomination Of such candi-
date?
We agree with the Republican sheet,
so, far, in this proposition. The speedy
acquisition of statehood for Utah de-
ponds largely upon the election of a
straight Democrat, as Delegate to the
Democratic Congress with Democratic
administration in control Also the in
terests of the territory greatly hinge
upon that election. A Republican Del
egate, sent by a majority of Utah s
voting citizens, would be a political
calamity of the most fatuous kind. The
people have surely too much common
sagacity to fall into such egregious folly,
But is that a necessary consequence of
the Delegate? Fudge The proper thing
to do is to go ahead and send to Congress
working Democrat, fully inbued with
the Importance of the situation and the
necessity of immediate action. We be-
lieve if Mr.. RAwLINs had remained in
the Office ne would have proven to be
just such Delegate. He has resigned,
but that carries with it nothing "ruin-
ousD to the party.
