a WISE APPOINTMENT.

Governor Budd's reappointment of Gen.
eral W. H. Dimond as major-general of
the National Guard is one of the wisest
acts of the Governors administration.
The bill passed by the last Legislature
providing for radical reorganization of
the Guard. including reduction of the
number of general officers and companies,
calls for the exercise of superior Judgment
and tact; and though hampered as he has
been in the past by the defective plan of
organization and the resulting weak spots
in the efficiency of the Guard, General Di-
mond's ability in infusing soldierly spirit
among the men has been conspicuously
exhibited. Combined with a genial and
magnetic nature he has clearness of iudg-
ment, strength of character and power of
enforcing discipline that render him in
valuable for SO important position, and
besides these qualifications he is an able
business man. an orator, and gentleman of
finished address. 1t would be difficult to-
find SO many valuable qualities possessed
by one man, and the National Guard is to
be congratulated on having him at its
head next to the Governor.

ON PERSONAL PROPERTY.
The Work ofCollecting Taxes Still Being
Brisk1y Pushed to Com
Dlation.

Twenty extra men were out collecting
personal property taxes yesterday. On
Wednesday about fifty men were en-
ployed making house-to-house canvass.
The returns they made showed that the
force was not large enough. If it is found
that the work cannot be completed before
July l, as required by law, with the sew
enty men now at work, more will be en-
ployed from time to time.
''Those collecting the taxes. are all expe-
rienced clerks" said Assessor Siebe. "They
were sent to the districts they assessed as
nearly as possible. In this way trouble
has been lessened, as the citizens remem-
Der the clerks and are not afraid to pay
them the money.
"The collections yesterday amounted to
$6577. OF this sum over $500 was paid by
people who came to the Office in order to
avoid any chance of fraud or mistake. I
think and hope that the amount paid in at
the Office will grow larger each day as peo-
pie learn that the tax is being collected.
81 don't think this is good way to col
lect taxes. The work of getting in the
money should be done by the Tax Col
lector, anyhow. My men should get the
statements. Then the people should be
expected to bring their taxes to the City
Hail."

THE SALT LAKE CONFERENCE

The conference of free-silver advocates
at Salt Lake was not large enough to be
called representative body, but it never
| theless fairly represented the sentiments
and desires of the Great West. Governor
Richards of Montana on delivering the
opening address declared it to be the OBJ
iect of the conference to place in the hands
| of every voter ''the arguments in favor OF
| free silver fashioned into language that
the wayfaring man can understand and
apply" There is certainly much need OF
| this work, for, as the orator said, the gold
standard men are actively circulating ar
guments on their side of the question, and
"alI that literature can do, all that oratory
can accomplish, all that gold can achieve,
viii be done to strangle the growing senti-
ment 2or silver"
1t appears evident that the battle of the
standards.will be practically fought out be-
fore the political campaign of 1896 begins. 1t
is to be warfare OF pamphlets and news
papers rather than stump oratory, and the
people are to have ample time and oppor-
tunity to hear and to study both sides be-
fore the political conventions meet. This
will undoubtedly tend to reduce the cues
ton to a clearly defined issue for submits
sion to the popular vote, and will enable
the people to act decisively upon it at the
next Presidential election.
1t is too early yet to foresee what will be
the shape in which the Issue will be actu-
ally submitted by the contending parties.
1t is certain, however, the great fight will
be in the Republican convention. No
other party has any prospect of electing
tho PrnSiHpnt nd fha oytroroiSfc nf
both sides will make every effort to con-
troll the one party having assurance of vic.
tory. Fortunately, there is not the slight
est prospect that the convention will be
controlled by the extremists on either
side. The Republican leaders are not
theorists, and therefore are not extremists.
That they will devise safe and states
manlike method of returning to bimetal-
lism can hardly be doubted, for. they have
dealt with equally complex problems be-
fore, and have never failed to solve them
in way compatible with the prosperity
of the Nation and the interests of all
classes of the people.
To the next Republican convention.
therefore, all conservative men must look
for the actual settlement of the issue, but
in the meantime such conferences as that
held at Salt Lake are beneficial. They give
the people chance to hear both sides and
to learn what after all will be the pest for
the country to do. 1t is long time be-
fore the next Presidential election, but
none too long for the work of educating
the people as to the true solution of
problem so complex and so important as
this.

THE LABOR EXCHANGE.
G1eeser, Clark and WarfieId Explain
Its Advantages.


The advantages of the labor exchange
system were enthusiastically set forth last
night at Golden Rule Hall on Mission
street by Carl Gleeser, the originator of it,
and Henry Warfield and j. s. Clark, who
conduct the store of the exchange on Val
encia street.
Gleeser argued that his system of ex-
changing products of labor by means of
certificates of deposit on cooperative
basis and in a practical business manner
was the only solution to the problem of
hard times. Warfield said that thirteen
exchanges were already organized in the
State.
Arthur w. Dove, the Shaker missionary,
acted as chairman and G. w. Waterman,
originator of the "Christian Cooperative
Society of the World already described
In the CALL, was among the audience.
