Shall Government Own Railroadss
From the Forum.
If the government may be safely intrust-
ed with the Transmission of our letters and
papers, I see no reason why 1t may not also
be intrusted with the transmission Of our
kilograms and parcels, as is almost univer-
sally the case in Europe; or Of our passen-
gers and freight, through a state owner
ship of railways, as in Germany, France,
Austria, Sweden and Norway. II the state
owns its highways, why may it not also
It's streets and keeps them paved, severed
and cleansed, why may 1t not also light
them, water them, and transport its citi-
Zens over them so far as such transporta-
ton involves a monopoly of their use? ?
Indeed, wherever the proposed business is
of public or semi-pubic character, and
requires special privileges of the state, or
a partial delegation Of governmental pow
ers-such, for instance, as the condemna-
ton of lands. a special use or disturb
ance of the public streets for the laying of
rails, pipes, or wires-there would seem to
be no sound reason why such franchises,
public, should not be exercised directly by
the public.
Such, at least. is the tendency of modern
legislation in nearly every highly civilized
interests, by putting prominently forward
the dangers of paternalism and socialism,
have succeeded in securing franchises
which properly belong to the public. The
fear, too. that these monopolies may be
used for political purposes has hitherto
proved an insuperable objection to their ex-
erc,se by the state; but the development of
civil service reform has of late been so
rapid and satisfactory that it's Introduction
into this new field Of usefulness would fol-
low as a matter of course, and would OBJ
viate the most formidable difficulty in the
way of the proposed change.
Should the assumption Of these natural
monopolies by foreign states and munich
palities prove as successful as they now
promise, the question which will confront
the legislatures Of the twentieth century
will be, not whether these extensions of
governmental functions are socialistic in
their tendencies. but how long this country
can afford to lag behind others which we
have been taught to look upon as conserva-
tive and inert. Progress in this direction
should undoubtedly be made with great
caution, and each step should be taken in
the assurance that the last one has already
teen vindicated by the result

Thrifty Farmers welcome the Visitors ana

A curious phenomenon occurred in
the northern portion of the county
Thursday afternoon. Shortly after 8
O'clock a shower of live frogs began fall.
Ing. The shower of living creatures con-
tinued for five minutes and covered a 10
acre field on the farm of Ezra WilIburn.
The frogs fell only on Mr.. Willburn's g
farm, and at the time they fell the sky
was cloudless. Mr.. Willburn's small
son was the only person who witnessed
the shower, and after recovering from
his surprise at sach a strange occurrence
be informed his father of the affair.
The WilIburns at once began catching
the largest of the frogs an6 enjoyed
regal repast Of delicious hams for sup
par. The neighbors were also literally
supplied. The cause of the shower 1s
somewhat mystery, although it is sale
chat the frogs could have been drawn
from distant pond by strong whirl
wind and carried through the air to
point over Mr.. Willburn s feld-M

BARNEs, the democratic chairman OF
Davis county, has immortaliyed him
self in way that wont be valuable to
him in the future. The democratic
party of Utah would feel it stab at
manliness, truth and honor if Roberts
were to resign. We cannot afford to
lose such man from his work. We
need those qualities in the party as
well as in the service of the territory.
If Davis county is tired of Roberts,
please send him to Utah county, where
although the majority of the people
are in favor of woman's sufrage-a
warm, enthusiastic welcome awaits
him from all the people, male, female,
democrat and republican. This coarse
and inconsiderate attack upon Rob
erts is deeply resented here.
