LOCAL REPUBLICAN HARMONY.

The Tribune copies a. long editorial
from the Provo Democratic paper be-
tween which and The Herald there has

domination of The Herald"
Yes we do claim that all is compare

ranks Of Democracy; or course we
have our little dissensions once in a
while, but If there is one-third the
quarreling in the party that there is

will apologize for the suggestion upon

witness the truth of our charges. So
far as the light estimate in which our
opinions are held outside the city, we
are content to mention the fact that
our controversy with the Dispatch
grew out of the fact that this paper
stood by, and the Provo paper rejected,
the platform and party so far as equal
suffrage was concerned. Again we APP
peal to a real Republican organ, the
valiant ogden Standard, to confirm
our statement that the Tribune does
not find a blind and abject following

Shall be the persons who shall vote
on it. And that when Indebtedness
Is proposed to be created, taxpayers
only shall vote on the question. That,
however, is but probability. The
Constitution makes no such provision,
but, as we have said, simply prohibits
erty qualification for voters except on
property question.
The objector has, to use a common
expression, "gone off half-cocked."
The provision is actually in the inter
est of the poor man. 1t protects him
from the polls. Even if the Legisla-
ture should provide that voters on
special tax shall be taxpayers. the
logic of this objector would let in
every citizen. 1t says:
EVERY man is a taxpayer. There is
no way TO get out of 1t. Even the
man who boards at a hotel is tax

We do not endorse the definition.
But on that sort of reasoning there IS
positively no room for objection to the
article which is denounced as an out
rage
But the chief error is its intination
that if one small section, which 1t en-
tirely misunderstands, is not accept
able to certain voters. they should
vote against the whole thing That
IS most inconsistent and vicious adj
vice. Take the Constitution as a
whole-it has been published in full
by The Herald-and it is an excellent
organic act There are some things in
it that we would have had changed
if that had been in our power. The
chief Objectionable feature is the ap-
portionment provision. But it will be
to the interest of this whole inter-
mountain region to have Utah adj
mitted as a State in the Union, and
no citizen who loves his country and
comprehends the Constitution that
has been framed, unless he is men
tally deranged or depraved, will be
found trying to defeat that glorious
consummation.

pose. Arrangements are in progress
to make the occasion pleasant as we'll

will be present as delegates. and Salt

ance of the event.
While there may be little or no
necessity for a silver campaign or a
silver propaganda in Utah and the
west. this is an appropriate spot on
which to organize 10 meet me eHSIly.
It is in the heart of the silver pro-
ducing region. The masses of the peo-
pie as well as the leading minds are
in full sympathy with the silver cause.
This should add to the enthusiasm
and inspire the highest efforts in the
advocates of bimetallism as the Imam

The impetus this conference will
give to the silver movement will at
the same time bring Utah once more
into prominence before the country.

referred to always with the utmost
satisfaction

A GRouNDLEss OBJECTION.

In the Article on Elections and
Right of Suffrage the following APP
pears as.
Sec. 7. Except in elections levying
q special tax or creating indebtedness,
no property qualification shall ever
be required for any person to vote or
hold Office.
That section Is attacked in weekly
Salt Lake paper devoted chiefly to the
labor interest The provision is de-
nounced as "an outrage" and the
public are told that Il not ready to
accede to the outrage they want to
vote against the whole thing" That
Is to say, if that one section is OBJ
jectionable to some folks they should
endeavor to defeat the whole Consti-
tuition.
Now let US see what is the matter
with the section. It prohibits any
property qualification for voting ex-
cept when a special tax or proposal
to create public indebtedness is to be
decided upon at the polls. It will be
seen that it does not provide for
property qualification for voting in
any case. 1t does not say that no
citizen may vote on special tax or
on a proposition to create indebted
ness unless he has a property qualif-
cation. 1t is prohi5itive not provis-
DRY. The Legislature may not create
a property qualification for voters in
any case but those mentioned. Is not
the prohibition good?
The paper that attacks it seems to
assume that the provision is legisla-
tive, asks whether the property is to
be real or personal and suggests that
under the proposition the millionaire
ought to have ten thousand votes, a
man who is worth ten thousand dol
lars ten votes. and a man worth
hundred dollars but one vote.
What the state legislature may do
under the section quoted remains to
be- seen Probably because that

UNWILLING A REFoRMER.

Z. L. Godkin, editor of the New York
Evening Post, is a typical reformer. He
is the chief of carpers. thre very rose of
Mugwumps Nobody who disagrees with
Godkin is less than a villain. No one
who shares his views and imbibes his pre-
cepts is less than an angel here on earth
Godkin hates politics and politicians, de-
spises patriots, decries men who love
their country and revere its flag. Above
all things, however, he hates the Demo-
cratic party in New York, giving as his
most potent reason the allegation that
the operation of Democratic rule in that
city is to put men in office who cannot
earn outside of politics the salaries they
obtain by Democratic favor. This, he
claims, is the head and front of Tam
manys offending. Here is where he finds
the fountain-head of corruption and de-
moralization.

POLITICAL EXCLUSION.

Another section of the Article on
Elections and Right Of Suffrage in the
| State Constitution
Sec. 6. No idiot, insane person, or
person convicted of treason, or crime
! against the elective franchise, unless
restored to civil rights, shall be per
mitted to vote at any election, or De
! eligible to hold office in this State.
That is all right, as we understand
it. But on the logic which some of our
friends use in reference to the voting
privilege there is an omission which
renders the section incomplete. To
carry out their style of reasoning, the
words female person" ought to have
been inserted and the provision in the
first section expunged.
We call attention to this that they
may see in what political company and
on what political plane their notions
would place the women Of Utah.
They may say: mo. We would
keep woman on a higher plane than
man." But while they say that in
word, they go to the exact contrary in
deed. If women citizens are not adj
mitted to the same political privileges
as men, then they are placed on the
same political level with the classes
named in Section as the only persons
of age who are excluded from the vot-
ing privilege.
To say that any person who is de-
MED the privilege of a voice in public
affairs, debarred from the exercise of
any political power, shut out from the
enjoyment of any political privilege.
is placed on a pinnacle above those per-
sons who are admitted to all those
rights and privileges, is so manifest
an absurdity as to require no argu-
ment to show it's folly.
On the ground that women are in
ferior to men, that they are incom-
petent like idiots, erratic like insane
persons, incapable of exercising civil
rights, there might be some reason, If
that were true, for excluding them
from the elective franchise. But when
the position is taken that they are so
superior to men that they must not
be brought down to the level of ordi-
nary men, and then they are placed on
the same political level with idiots, in
sans persons and criminals, it raises
the inquiry whether the logicians who
use that argument are themselves COM
petent under Section 6 of the con-
stitution to exercise the rights which
they would refuse to half the people
of the state.
Whatever theories may be held as
to the exalted character of the sex
and that sort of thing, the proposition
seems clear that only certain classes
of incompetents, or persons unfit to be
entrusted with the voting power, are
debarred by the Constitution and that
if any others were also excluded it
would be placing them on that same
political level. The constitution, how
ever. draws the line and draws it
right.

WISE MIR. ECNELS.


The Chicago Times-Herald confirms the
report that Comptroller Eckels declined
an offer of large salary to conduct a
financial department for that newspaper.
Comptroller Eckels showed his wisdom
in declining Mr.. Kohlsaat's offer. He
should not permit himself to be tempted
away from his present office with its
prospect of a good place provided for him
by the banking fraternity at the close of
his term, by an offer Of salaried jour
financial or any other department of a
newspaper Mr.. Eckels would have more
work to do than he has ever had as law
yer or comptroller, with the few speeches
he makes thrown in.
No profession requires of it's votaries
more arduous and constant labor than
that of journalism. The reporter of q
daily newspaper. not to speak of the head
of department, does more brain work
and does it under greater strain than any
officeholder from a member of the cabinet
down. He will average more every day
than ninety-nine out of every 100 men in
any other occupation. Comptroller Eek

NEVER MIND THE EXPENSE.

One of the most plausible arguments
which have been and will be used by
persons who desire to defeat state
hood for Utah, is the expense it will
entail Increased expense means in
creased taxation. Nobody likes to be
heavily taxed. People are already bur-
dened in that direction as much as they
feel able to bear. This appeal is made
to a tender spot-the sensitive taxpay-
er's pocket.
In the address to the people Of Utah
by the constitutional convention that
matter is referred to in these words:
eff with statehood there will be a
slight increase in taxes, the compen-
sating advantages will cause that in
creased expense to be forgotten. We
will be able to utilize the magnificent
gift of over seven million acres of land
from cur generous government; we
will be able to secure capital for our
mines; under the shield of statehood
thousands of people will seek homes
in our climate, assist to develop our
Wondrous and varied resources and re-
ed by nature upon our highly favored
commonwealth"
We believe that to be a candid state
ment of the situation. The taxation
question is greatly exaggerated. The
expenses Of the state government will
of course. fall upon the state. But as
the address also puts it:
1.-THE salaries of all officials have been
marked down close to the danger line

THE OLD STORY.

What will be called for little while
the Louisville tragedy''-the killing by
Dixon Browns one of a long line of
such, reaching as far back as recorded
time and destined to stretch forward till
time shall be no more. Similar tragedies
happen among the first families of all
countries. and every day among the last
families" All the parties might have
known beforehand that something like a
public sentiment called on the betrayed
and abandoned husband TO kill; the inVa-
der of another mans house should know
what to expect; the woman died between
the two men. The laws men make in cold
ence of laws which appear to have made
themselves. So the man, who in the face
of things seems a murderer, will not be
treated as a murderer; the dead will be
buried out of sight, and there will be 9TH
er tragedies.-Kansas City Star.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1895-05-09

poorer resources than Utah has. can
get along with the expenses of state
hood, and would not forego it's advan-
tages if they could return to territor-
ial vassalage. the people of Utah can
surely do the same. having greater ia
cilities for paying the expense and
greater reasons for desiring the hber-
ties and powers from which they have
been so long debarred.
Another point: The address further
makes mention of other important pro-
visions in the constitution:
I'VE have placed within safe limits
the maximum of future taxation.
I'VE have guarded against the posi-
bility of any future great indebtedness
Of the state
These limitations are sufficient to
remove the fears which some folks are
trying to invoke, from the minds of
thoughtful and intelligent voters. High
taxes cannot be imposed, and Excess
siye Indebtedness cannot be contracted.
The Constitution guards against these
excuses and, therefore, commends it
self to the economical citizen.
We do not believe the people of Utah
will be so mercenary as to wish to de-
fer statehood because it will cost some
thing. Nor do we believe that the taxes
necessary to support our state govern
ment will be so much increased as
calamity would try TO make
it appear But in any event we believe
they would say, in the language Of the
Yankee when informed that a ribbon
wanted by his sweetheart would cost
six cents yard, Never mind, slice off
a hull yard. and darn the expense"
