TAXES AND THE SCHOOL BOARD.

The question of high school or no
high school does not enter into the
contest at the school election to be held
on Wednesday. That is an issue
falsely raised to confuse the public
and If possible defeat two of the can
didates. Neither of them is opposed
to the high school established in this
city. Both of them will decline to vote
for special tax to erect building for
the high school, costing at the lowest
estimate 100000, unless the taxpayers
desire its erection.
That is the situation as set forth by
Messrs. Toronto and Kingsbury in
Sundays Herald. It is the reverse of
the assertions respecting their posi-
tfon published in the Tribune of Sat-
urday.
1t is a question worthy of considera-
ton by the taxpayers whether they
want to be taxed just now for a high
school building. Do the Republican
candidates nominated in partisan
way for partisan purposes, go before
the voters of this city pledged to i'm
mediate taxation for a high school
building? That ought to be under
stood. Will the Tribune answer for
them? Will it state fairly that this is
what they stand for?
Let it be remembered that the money
for the building, if it shall be erected.
will have to come from a direct pro-
perty tax. There is a talk of bonds
for the purpose. That is out of the
question. The school district, compris-
ing the entire city, is bonded to its
legal limit. It must be by taxation
that the money will have to be OBJ
tanned. Are the taxpayers prepared to
agree to it and are the Republican
candidates willing to make this the
test at the school election? These
are pertinent questions. They are
almost as important as the ques-
ton of partisanship on the Board of
Education. If the Democratic nomi-
nees are elected the board will remain
bipartisan. If a Republican majority
on the board is obtained, it will be
partisan body because the partisan is
sue has been raised, and there are Re
publican candidates in the field who
claim that the board should be Re-
publican because their party is in the
majority, and that tTo the victors be-
long the spoils''
On both these questions the voters
should make up their minds as to a
choice of members on the board.
Partisanship and taxes seems to be
the meaning of a Republican partisan
majority on the school board.

THE LATEST LYNCHING.

A mob at Fayetteville. Tenn, took
two negroes who had been charged
with an attempt to rape, tried, found
guilty, and sentenced to the full pen
atty of the law, from the authorities
and hanged them. In most of these
southern lynchings the sorry excuse is
made that the crime is so heinous, the
law so slow, and the punishment so
uncertain, that it is the only way to
protect society. OF course such an ex-
cuse is pure humbug and nothing more
This latest lynching of men who had
been convicted and were in safe Gus
tody goes a long way to show that
these lawless mobs love a lynching for
itself, irrespective of the guilt or inno-
cence Of those upon whom they glut
their vengeance. If the laws Of Ten
nessee do not provide a punishment
adequate to the offense, why do not
the dear good people of that intelligent
and law-loving commonwealth go and
hang the legislators who enact laws
so contrary to their own high stand
ard Of morality and civilization? There
is the place to seek a remedy for such
an outrage as convicting a man &C
cording to the forms of law and i'm
posing on him the maximum punish
ment.
What a comment on American civili-
cation and regard for law such an oc
currence as this Fayetteville lynching
is! What is the matter with the peo-
pie of Tennessee? Tippoo lib would
feel himself insecure in such a COM
munity. The trouble with the people
of Tennessee is that they have no high
regard for law, and those whom they
elect to govern them have no proper
sense of their duties, or if they have,
have not the moral courage to do them
Governor Turney might well emulate
the example of Governor O'Farrell of
Virginia, who has won distinction by
his vigorous and fearless efforts to
prevent lynching in his state. And his
course has earned him respect at home
and abroad.
What these blood-loving, lynching
mobs need is to be met by determined
officers who will not hesitate in the
least to shoot them down when the oc-
casion arises, and it always arises
when they attempt to take the law
into their own hands and execute men
as they choose. That should be their
introduction to a course of lectures on
the supremacy of the law and the re-
spect due it.

.THE COLORADO CIRCUS.

In an article discussing the present
boom in mining shares in Colorado, tho
New York Times says:
What during the eighteenth century
was called a bubble or a folly" and
is now commonly known as a boom is
IN London called circus" The
Kafir Circus is the designation of the
London stock market for the excite
ment produced by the recent develop
ments of the gold fields in South
Africa. A Colorado circus, founded
upon the recent developments of gold
mining in that state, is quite as alb
sorbing. within its own Sphere of in
f1uence" as was the South African ex-
citement, and it's sphere of influence
appears to include the whole state of
Colorado. Thus far there have been
no new-made '4bonanza kings to af-
ford a rallying point for the enthusi-
aSts, no Barney Barnato, nor even any
Coai-Oil Johnny to astonish mankind
with his rapid and ostentatiouS diffu-
sion of newly gotten riches. But it is
plain that somebody is reaping very
handsome profit from the enthusiastic
desire of his felloW-citizens to grow
suddenly rich.
The Times judges of Blooms gen.
orally very fairly After a great COM
pany is formed it says, if 'the public
comes" Ito purchase the stock of such
company, it is because the men who
know more than the public are going
out and do not believe that their stock
is worth what is offered for it, But
is not that the very thing that hap
pens every day in Wall Street? In
fact is it not the raison d'etre for Wall
street? The operations there more
often take the form of tragedy than of
a comedy or circus.
The good that boom does, no mat
ter what it's nature, is very question
able. 1t is the zenith of good times
usually as panics are their nadir. Still
the Times is of the opinion that the
political results of this boom can
scarcely fail to be wholesome. 1t
thinks it will have tendency to more
effectually kill the ''silver craze" We
believe it entirely mistakes what it's
effect will be in that line.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE AGAIN.

One of our out of town exchanges,
the Brigham City Bugler, is of the
opinion that very small per cent of
| the women of Utah really want the
suffrage. 1t also makes the prediction
that in ten years they will not have it
Such a view of woman suffrage in
Utah is new in view of the action of
the constitutional convention The
opinion of the women of Utah on the
suffrage question will be best made
known when they come to exercise the
franchise. If they do not care for it
they will very soon cease to exercise
1t, and If they become actively opposed
to 1t they can go to the polls and vote
for the calling Of a convention to
amend the constitution by taking the
suffrage from women.
That there are many women who do
not care for the suffrage is doubtless
true, just as there are many men who
do not care for it. But that in no way
affects the correctness of the principle
Because women find practical poll
tics distasteful and will not participate
in political wire pulling and find 'leg-
ging'' abhorrent, it is not sign that
they will not exercise the suffrage. and
exercise it as intelligently and in the
best interests of the public as we'll as
the men
1t is a compare lively small portion of
any community that is engaged in ac-
tive politics, nor is it likely that tie
introduction of woman suffrage into
Utah politics will materially alter this
condition of affairs. 1t is rather to be
hoped that they will, for every voter
should take a personal interest in pub
lie affairs. The fact that they do not
is a cause of very much of the bad and
corrupt management of public affairs.
1t is to be expected that as the women
of Utah become more and better ac-
quainted with public affairs the keener
will be their interest in them.
We do not believe that ten years
hence will see woman suffrage abol.

REAL COOPERATION.

Ever since the cooperative system
was preached in England, Rochdale has
taken the lead of all other towns in its
successful operation. The plan adopted
there has been copied in other parts
of that country, and their business last
year amounted to no less than $25,000,
900. The Rochdale plan is real Coop

| IN Utah is in really enlarged joint
stock association. The number of the
shareholders does not alter the prin-
cipRe involved; it is the same with
three or four partners as with a hum
dred, thousand or more.
In the RochdaIe co-operat tive system
the shares are placed at So Of which
any one person may take as many as
twenty-five but not more. On the
amount he takes he can pay so cents
per share if he chooses, and let the

stockholders receive a. fixed rate of
interest-fve per cent per annum on the
amount they invest But purchasers
receive the real dividends, according to
the sum of their purchases in a year
These profits range all the way from
seven and half to seventeen per cent.
Observation-Disclosures receive dividends on
their purchases, but to the extent of
only half the percentage paid on pur-
chases by the shareholders. All bust
ness is done in cash.
The cooperative system has extended
from mere merchandising, Wholesale

ufactures. Clothing, sflo IS furniture,
flour, candy, soap and other factories
are doing good business, and even
steamships are owned and run by CO.
operative associations.
Everything is done on business prin-
ciples, competent men ballg engaged,
not because they are stockholders or
the relatives of any ona associated

1876, and deprive the home market of
that much trade.
If the raising of revenue to defray
the expenses of the government is to
be by the imposition of tariff duties,
there must be foreign trade else there
can be no revenue.
Protection has been fostered not
merely at the expense of the people,
but at the sacrifice of almost all
sources of revenue. Today the Repub-
lican party is ready to sacrifice what
remains of the internal revenue sys-
tenn to further promote protection.
What if the people should some day
decide that they would really purchase
no foreign goods but only those of
American manufacture, what would
become of the revenues of the govern
ment?

JAPANESE COMPETITION.

The latest danger to American indus
tries seen by the watchful protectionists
is japan. That country, according to
these alarmists. will flood the United
States with it's goods and manufac-
lures and kill our home market and
our home manufactures, unless there
shall be a tariff high enough to protect
American workmen placed upon Jap
anese goods. There is no such danger
and the American people will not buy
Japanese goods unless they want them
Just now the protectionists are tell
ing the people that the Wilson tariff
bill is deficit producer, and that to
provide a sufficient revenue for the
government higher duties must be i'm
posed. They also tell the people that
chief object of protection, we may
market to the American producer and
manufacturer and to keep the money
at home that without protection would
go abroad to purchase goods. On this
theory the tariff should be so high as
to be prohibitive of trade with foreign
countries. The raising of revenue by
tariff has always been a secondary
matter with protectionists. If duties
are to be imposed to raise revenue
what becomes of the home market the
Dry? It must take a back seat. The
tariff can raise no revenue unless we
purchase foreign goods.
The expenditures of the government
for the fiscal year 1S93-94 were s444.-
427.74S. Supposing they will be the
same for 1s96-97 and the revenue were
all to be raised by tariff duties, then if
the rate of duty on the articles on
which it is to be raised were 100 per
cent. we should have to buy that
amount of goods, while if it were SO
per cent, we should have to buy for
eign goods to the amount of 1888, $685.

THE SPEAKER OF THE house.

The Republicans in caucus have
nominated Tom Reed for Speaker.
This of course means his election. In
thanking the caucus for the honor con-
ferred, he had good deal to say. still
not SO much as the public would have
liked to have heard; at least it was not
so definite on some points as is desira-
BILE. 1t is doubtful if Mr.. Reed himself
could say precisely what he meant
when he said:
Could we cause our immense popu-
lar majority to overflow into the Other.
branches of the government, and could
we have full control, we could create.
not a perfect world, perhaps, but a
world rather more fit to live in than
we have lately had. (Applause)
To the uninitiated that looks like an
expression of the desire of a position
for spells. Does it mean that?
Mr. Reed was sure that their patri-
otto instincts would lead them to make
every sacrifice, except of principle, to
rescue the country from what he
termed .'its temporary disaster" But
Republican principle is so inextricably
mixed up with all that is bad in poll
tics that there is small chance of the
party sacrificing any of its per-
niciousness.
That we shall be ready at all times
to furnish adequate revenue for the
government according to our sense Of
public duty, no man can doubt
That is a generality which may
mean anything or nothing. Had Mr..
Reed clearly and without equivocation
defined .'ou1 sense of public duty then
the public would have had something
tangible. Does that mean the restora-
ton of McKinleyism or an overhaul

COMMENTS BY UTAH EDITORS.


The Great Campaign is booming Isaac
Trumbo and George Q. Cannon for
are well enough qualified for the posi-
ton, but as the legislature of Utah is
strongly Republican, it stands to reason
that two Republicans will be sent to the
senate Colonel Trumbo is d Silver Re-
publican but does any one know the
politics of Mr. Cannon.-Ogden Press.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1895-12-02

But we firmly believe that only a very
small majority of the women of Utah
really and truly desire the franchise;
that if the question were submitted tC
them and they, uninfiuenced. voted their
own minds they would do as the women
of Massachusetts have done-declare
against the franchise.
Furthermore, the Bugler predicts that
ten years will mot elapse before the
franchise will be taken from the women
of Utah by the women themselves, and
that, too. with an overwhelming majority
female vote.-Rrigham City Bugler.
