Deseret evening news. [volume] (Great Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1867-1920, 1893-02-08

A writer in the Los Angeles Times
advocates the building OF u railroad to
connect that city with Salt Lake by
public aid. His plan 10 ono that 1t ia
shown has proven feasible elsewhere;
II Is, In brief, TO ask law at the hands
Of tho legislature by the terms OF
which counties OF u certain class can
issue bonds for building railroads and
thus become the owners OF them, with
power To lease them to corporations. 1t
is questionable whether such q law
would DO constitutional; but n one
having that object In Wow could he
made without such Infringement, we
are informed that Il would find many
advocates In Los Angeles county ~
well us among the lawmakers them.
selves.
"Thst the project Of constructing a
railway from the seaboard near Los
Angeles to Salt Lake City is feasible
and highly Desirable" says the Times,
"there Is no dispute. The line would
tap n rich mineral region, and
minerals are what We need n
Los Angeles is to become manufac-
turing city. 1t would put US In close
and quick commu nication with wide
area OF country that requires our pecu.
liar horticultural aud agricultural
products, and will purchase and con-
sumo them In larger quantities than
ever when direct line shall have
been established by means OF which
interchanres can be facilitated" 1t 10

To Los Angeles, aud through 1t to the
east, n this road were built. A heavy
volume OF passenger traffic would grow
up on the new line, for It would afford
a very direct, picturesque aud com.
Portable route from the Pacific to the
East, and for the people OF the entire
salt Lake country TO this coast. The
advantages Of the line are, In short,
apparent, and need not be- elaborated
here"
The business men OF Los Angeles

the question at once, and to act with

good, and wages no bigher."
"Then you can compete With the
eastern made goojs?"
"No, we c,nnoi," came the response.
"we've got to got iron from the cast,
and the cost OF shipping 1t over the
railroads Is so much greater
than the rate for manufactured
fencing that competition Ia out OF
sight When We get iron at st. Louis
rstee, we can furnish the msde.up
article at the 81. Louis price. or even n
little under. but when tho railroads
charge US 20 much more for hauling
iron than they do for the manufactured
article, which they class Ms merchandise
and carry at low rate. that there Ia
not enough difference In the total cost
Of ten tons OF each TO pay for unload

can't cast the fencing for nothing,

we would be oil right. But iron costs
more today than II did nvo years
ago. When merchandise rate, went
down II went up"
IL IL not alone In the iron business
that such situation Is complained OF.
Several branches OF Industry are SINH
larry affected. and those directly inter-
estcd should combine AMI asitste the
question until the grievance Is rcme'
died.
In the matter OF freight rates, affairs
have been Ia much WORSE condition
than at present. This was the case
last year when the Chamber OF Com.
merce proceeded against the railways
Tor equitable rates for all, both In raw
material and manufactured goods,
The presentation Of the case was no
effective that tho railways realized
that revislon OF their tariff was neces.

through a compromise with leading
shippers. In the face Of this arrange

THE WAR PROSPECT.

This approach OF spring each year Is
prolific Of promises Of great War In
Europe. This season Ia no exception
to the rule, and II would not occasion
my surprise to s.e two or more OF tho
great powers plunged into fierce and
deadly conflict upon very small pro.
vocation. The dispatches stat. that the
scramble for gold now going on among
the nations on the other side OF the
Atlantic is regarded there rs one Of the
grAndeet signs Of tho timee, aud Is "a
cause OF widespread feeling In political
circles that European peace Is ABOUT TO
be broken. This London Adt.st has
this significant utterance on tho situa'
ton;
not only do military preparations on
the continent threaten us with the most
terrible war the world has ever econ with
the greatest waste OF life and wealth,
and with a complete breakup OF the
political systems OF tho continent, but
they actually put prohibition upon
new enterprise elsewhere. Nobody can
be sure Tor week together OF what may
happen, or how tho money markets OF
tho world may 10 thrown into confusion
and OF how disastrous therefore every
undertaking may DO mado, and tho In.
furious elect will continue, oven II war
