The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1894-04-15

that has the matter in charge, is the
proposition to fill up the Salt Lake and
Jordan canal-in other words. to cut off
from the wafer supply of this city sew
eral hundred thousand gallons daily.
DR.. Beatty, it is understood, is at the
bottom of the scheme, his reason being
that the canal under present condi-
tons, is a menace to the health Of
our citizens" He. points out that people
living along the banks of the canal
where it is not covered, are in the habit
of throwing tin cans and other rubbish
into it, and thereby fouling the water.
This. we understand, is his chief, if not
only argument. If so, then why should
not the same apply to City Creek, the
Jordan, or any other source of our water
supply? A guard is kept in City Creek
canyon for the express purpose Of pre-
venting the pollution of this magnificent
mountain stream. For $3.50 day, the
waters of the Salt Lake & Jordan canal
may be just as jealousy guarded.
The sewage of the city is now and
has been for some time past, emptied
into the Jordan Would the learned
gentleman, who talks so glibly of ba-
GILL and microbes and germs, have the
Jordan filed up because of this dis
charge?
There was a year, and it is within
the memory of all, when. had it not
been for the salt Lake and Jordan Ca
NAL, the property-owners would have
lost ten times the original cost of the
waterway. and million times the
amount of money it would now cost to
put it in repair and keep it in good con-
dftion.
This may be news 10 those who are
now pleading 50 hard to have the canal
abolished, but it is, nevertheless. fact
one, too, which, if they are credulous,
they may readily prove to their most
complete satisfaction
The filing up and abandonment of the
canal would, we feel sure, be a most
.grievous blunder At any rate, before
decisive action is taken, a full and
complete investigation should be made

be put /into execution. Mr.. winsor
sayf Congress had not the inherent
digfEy TO allure statesmen. nor did it
offeJ temptations even for politicians.
Some of the provisions of the articles
are worthy of note. A citizen of one
State was entitled to the privileges of
free citizens in the several States. The
reclamat ton of fugitives from justice
was provided for. Full faith and credit
were given in each of the States to the
acts of every other State The subordi-
nation of the several States was
established by the limitations placed
upon their relations with foreign ma
lions, and upon their engagement in
war and maintenance of armed forces;
making it homogeneous to describe the
States as sovereign.
The chief use and glory of the articles
of confederation were that by and
through them "a perpetual Union was
declared and subscribed by each of the
thirteen colonies, and that the use of
the scheme of Government provided,
by disclosing its fatal defects, in
fallibly pointed out the essentials of a
perfect Union.
Bancroft says of it: "a better one
could not then have been accepted; but,
with all its faults, it contained the ele-
ments for the evolution of more per
feet Union.
