ing people to have their trees sprayed

They are obtaining money under false
pretenees. They are responsible for
damages done to the trees they spray,
and to bee owners whose hives are
being depleted through bee-poisoning.
We know one beekeeper who has lost
a hundred dollars during the last few
days, by the killing of his bees through
this fool work in the premature spray
ing Of the trees of his neighbors.
Every person who desires the general
welfare should aid in preventing this
improper work. Spread the informa-
ton that no spraying ought to be done
until about a week after fruit blossoms
have fallen and the fruit is fairly set.
Tell all would-be sprayers to stop their
deviltry. They are destroyers instead
of preservers, and If what they at
tempt is through ignorance, it is cul-
pable if not criminal ignorance. They
ought to know better and should not
engage IN business they know moth
ing about. Stop the spraying until the
proper time arrives.

STOP THE SPRAYING.

The following communication sbou,d

are doing damage by their improper
work:

Dear Sir-Warning to the Fruit
Growers of Salt Lake County-It has
come to my knowledge that certain
professional sprayers are SPRAYING
trees with Paris Green or London
Purple while the trees are in bloom
NOW, want the people to understand
that it is not doing them a particle of
good, but doing them irrepara bic
harm; washing the pollen out of the
flower. thus preventing the fertiliza-
ton of the fruit as well as killing the
bees TO no purpose. The time for the
first arsenical spraying should be bout
seven days after all blossoms nave
fallen and fruit set. In some places
the apple tree tent caterpillars are ont.
the best way to get rid of them is for
the people to go through their trees In

Yours Respectfully,
FRED W. PRICE.
Fruit Tree Inspector Salt Lake County.
These instructions have been given
repeatedly. but 1t seems that people
will not give heed to them. There are
men so anxious to earn little money
that they win prevail upon people to
have their trees sprayed. when the
spraying does positive harm. There
is time for all things Let every
thing be done in due season" These
are the sayings of wisdom. This is not
the time nor the season for spraying
trees. Wait a little longer.

SOME VALUABLE STATISTICS.

The statement prepared by Terri
torial Treasurer J. ". Whitehead of
the receipts and disbursements of
school money in Utah for the last
fiscal year contains some very inter-
esting data and comparisons. We
publish it in detail today.
There are several counties in the
territory which draw much more from
the treasury in school funds than they
contribute by taxation for all terri
toriai purposes.
There are many more counties which
receive more than they pay for school
purposes.
Only six counties pay into the treas
ury more money than they receive for
school purposes. These are. in the
order named as to amount: Salt Lake
Weber, Grand, Box Elder, Morgan and
San Juan.
1t will be seen that the great bur-
den Of the support of the local govern
ment falls on two or three counties.
There appears to be great jealousy on
the part of some counties in reference
to Salt Lake. and a desire to draw
away from this city and county the
public buildings which ought to be at
the capital. Those who entertain these
feelings should see what Salt Lake
contributes TO the public revenue from
which the smaller counties draw sup
plies, and that ought to teach them
moderation in their feelings and en-
deavors.
1t is presumable, seeing that we
have a board of equalization, that
each Of the counties is equitably taxed.
But it seems little strange that some
counties which are very well to do
should contribute so little to, and draw
so much from, the territorial treasury,
the amounts they receive to school
their children exceeding largely the
total amount of their taxes for school
and territorial purposes combined.
In view of the representation al
lowed the small counties with small
revenue, by the peculiar apportionment
article which has gone into the Con-
stitution, it would be interesting to
know how some Of the delegates who
believe in fundamental democratic
principles, harmonic their action with
the axiom that taxation and repre-
sentation should go together"
The table which we publish as fur
nished by Treasurer Whitehead should
be preserved for future reference. 1t
is carefully prepared and the data are
official. The information is valuable
and suggests many reflections.

FREIGHT DETERMINATIONS.

Salt Lake should be interested in the
now in progress at Denver. The dis
elimination in railroad freights to the
Pacific coast as compared with those
from Chicago. to the injury of Denver.
is the principal ground of complaint.
Freights are less from Chicago to San
Francisco than to Denver and less than
from Denver to the coast.
The greatest Determinations are in
raw materials. In some lines of goods
furniture for instance-the manu-
featured goods are shipped from Chi
cago to Denver cheaper than the ma
terials out OF which they are manu-
featured a number of other goods
suffer in the same way. The roads ap-
pear to be building I'D Chicago. at the
expense Of The cities between that
point and San Francisco.
Denver IS endeavoring to become a
manufacturing and distributing centre.
and wants to compete with New York
and Chicago for the western trade.
But she is handicapped by the dis
elimination in freights and desires to
force the roads into fair deal.
Of course. under the Interstate Com
MERGE law. the railroads are allowed to
ship freights from New York to San
Francisco and some other points at
lower rates than to internal towns.
That is on account of the water COM
petition. 1t seems. too. that Chicago, by
some kind of hocus-pocus. comes in on
the water rate arrangement.
1t is to settle these questions in the
interest of justice to Denver that the
Interstate Commerce Commission is
holding sessions at the Colorado capital.
Utah is specially interested in this
matter for the reason that all the ar
guments and the facts cited in refer
ence to Denver. apply with equal force
to Salt Lake.
This city aims to be a distributing
point for all the intermountain region.
which it would be but for the same
freight determinations against which
Denver protests. It also aims to be a
manufacturing centre. utilizing its
great water powers near by. and not
only its own raw materials. but largely
those obtainable from the east. With
fair freight rates to this point. and just
rates from here to the Pacific coast
that is possible; without them it can
not be accomplished.
The railroads ought for their own
interest. to encourage the development
Of both Denver and Salt Lake as dis
tributing and shipping points. Some
day. perhaps. they will wake up to the
Importance of this fact. In the case of
Denver. they may be forced to its con- |
temptation. Salt Lake may have some |
thing to say about it later on.

DON'T MISREPREsENT.

a contemporary which is either so
dull that it cannot grasp the meaning
of plain language. or so dishonest
that it will not quote fairly the words
Of its neighbor, endeavors to impress
its readers with the notion that The
Herald is trying to stop the investi-
cation into the alleged county crook
edness.
The truth is that The Herald has
encouraged aud promoted investiga-
ton, urged its necessity as one reason
why bonds should be issued that
funds might be available for the pur-
pose, and given publicity to all that
has been discovered and expected to
be established. Here is part of the
article which our contemporary en-
deavors to disItort and misinterpret:
If there is good reason to believe
that the vague accusations that have
been uttered can be conferred on the
responsible parties. the Investigation
should go on.
Even If the probability is that some
of the contracts will be fairly and
legally declared void. so that there
will be an honest saving to the county
by the non-payment of Illegally issued
warrants. the inquisition should be
continued.
That is not crying the investiga-
ton off," as intimated by our contem-
porary. for what purpose we do not
know, unless it is to put The Herald
in a false position before the public.
But we argued that it would not be
worth while to pursue this matter. at
great expense to the county, unless
there is a prospect of better results
than have yet been obtained. We
said:
It is a question whether 1T will nav
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1895-04-26

to continue this daily expense much
longer, unless there are better returns
for the cost than have as yet been
made to appear.
1t appears that the cost has been
$1,000 and that $1,000 more will be
needed to push the matter further. If
there are good probabilities of definite
results, The Herald says 'go on" If
not, we do not want to see the money
squandered which is 50 hard to OBJ
tain. And we repeat: If there are nc
better indications of this than appear
at present, the outlay will only be
money and time wasted. and it had
better be postponed or some new
methods be adopted to reach the end
desired. Up to date there has been
great cry but little wool"

OUR CREDIT SAVED.

Thanks to Farian and a few of his Re
publican friends, who came to the aid
OF the Democrats of the constitutional
convention, the credit of the new state of
Utah was saved from the raids of cor

to push through their schemes. 1t is
gratifying to know there are a few Re-
publicans left who are not willing to
throw the money collected from the peo-
pie by taxation. to every enterprise that
complains that ii cannot stand without
public aid.-Ephraim Enterprise.
