If.

In his late message the mayor of
the city on the subject of liquor sell
ing, prostitution and gambling said:
THE peace and good order of the city
largely depends upon the impartial and
strict enforcement of the laws in rela-
ton to the sale OF Intoxicating liquors.
The same is true in respect to prostitu-
ton and gambling. The laws and or
dinances in relation TO these offen6es
either ought to be repealed or strictly
enforced. am unqualifedly in favor
of their enforcement
That was proposition which the
good people of Salt Lake listened to
with very great satisfaction, and one
that they still hope viii be carried out
in good faith. If the raid upon houses
Of prostitution day before yesterday.
out Of which there has grown SO much
i'll feeling, was the beginning of carry
ing out the determination expressed
by the mayor to enforce the city ordin-
ances and to treat this offense as other
offenses against the law are treated,
all well and good; but if it was a coup
Matched in the brain of some man or
men desirous Of bringing the recon-
mendation Of the new city administra-
ton into contempt, by trying to make
it appear impossible to execute the
law in this class of offenses, there is
a good big load of responsibility ready
to drop upon the shoulders of some
body; for we take it that the public
sentiment Of the city is not to be trifled
with in this matter; that they neither
want buffoonery in the execution of the
law nor criminal neglect There seems
to have been an utter lack of UNDER
standing among the city officers on
this subject, and rather a play at
cross purposes than a united and DELHI
crate determination to execute the law
in good faith, and with that ffrmness
and steadiness of purpose that alone
win make it respected.
AS the beginning OF the proposed new
policy of the city to enforce the law
against prostitution, the recent attempt,
though apparently. Ill conceived and
lacking in harmony of effort on the part
u an NSPe'1 tAlelAIS VI the CITY SONeIu-
ment, may be excused, notwith-
standing all the laundering; but if this
raid was conceived and carried out for
any other purpose than as the begin
ming Of an honest effort to make the
law honorable, it was a dia5olical
crime for which there is no pal
liation, and somebody's responsible
ty is going to be considerable.

THE MAYORS OPPORTUNITY.

In the matter of retrenchment in the
city's expenses the course of the city
council meets with very general ap-
prevail. Especially is its action ap-
proved which proposed to cut
the salaries of its own members
twenty per cent. There is nothing
which SO adds to the force of a reform
movement as TO see those who are
directing it willing to share cheerful
" whatever OF inconvenience or sacri-
fee may be involved in the reforms.
Therefore the council did well to re-
solve upon cutting the salary of its
members twenty per cent.
1t was objected at the time that
the council could not cut down the
salary of its members, since the office
of councilman was elective and the
salary fixed; but way to make re-
Tenchment operate upon councilmen
as well as upon policemen and firemen
was quickly suggested, namely, the
councilmen could refuse to take more
than eighty per cent of their salary;
and that, be it said to the credit of the
members, is what they voted to do;
and but for one vote in the negative
it would have been a unanimous vote.
That was we'll done by the council and
it will help those whose wages have
been cut to bear more cheerfully the
reduction they must sustain.
There is an opportunity also for the
mayor to do something heroic in this
same line. He can cut his salary, too.
in the same way that the councilmen
cut theirs; that is, he can refuse to
receive twenty per cent Of his salary.
If he will do SO it will add weight to
his retrenchment recommendations
He now receives $500 per annum.
That is $500 more than the governor
of the state receives, and a due regard
for the relative rank of officers would
suggest that the mayor of the city
should not receive a greater income
than the governor Of the state. Let
the mayor follow the example in the
work Of retrenchment set by the city
council, and sacrifice twenty per cent
of his salary That cut would save to
the city $500 and the mayor would
still have an income equal to that Of
the governor of the state. Besides it
would give an earnest of good faith in
his recommendations of retrenchment.
The city's expenses have got to be re-
duced. and there is no good reason
why the salary Of the mayor should
escape the pruning knife. We hope
to hear from the mayor.
