This non-partisan movement is not
by any means a local proposition, but
it is matter of grave concern TO the
Democrats. of the entire state. A fact
that should MOI escape attention is that
a full-hedged non-partisan programme
has. within the past ten days, been
brought out into the open in a great
number of towns throughout the state.
II would be very interesting, and, per-
haps, difficult, to trace the origin in
each instance. but the simultaneous
appearance of the movement at so
many different points is one of the
most remarkable condolences of the
times. The people OF the entire state
are told that neither party is capable
Of administering the affairs of a town
or city, and the arguments presented
are various and amusing. Here in
Salt Lake the plea is for reduced tax
ation;" at Provo it is progress and
Improvement, (Which means increased
taxation); at Brigham City it is some
thing else, and down in Sanpete still
different reasons are urged. Some Of
the most active promoters of this idea
express an intention TO make the non
partisan party a permanent organiza-
tion, and to apply it to the county
elections next year. If all the cities,
towns. and counties are non-partisan-
lied. does anyone doubt that the state
will be brought into like condition?
And it requires no transcendant wis
dom to fathom the underlying purpose,
and no gift of prophecy to foresee the
Grand climax.

If the morning advocate of non
partisan partisanship sincerely de-
sires the Inauguration of clean
government" it should have care
lest it endanger the cause by dirty
methods. 1t has thus early an
nounced that ali who refuse to
swallow the cut and dried pro-
gramme are partisan slang-whang-
ers." When an adversary takes to
calling names he confesses the weak
ness of his cause

out that 80 per cent of the city taxes is
expended in the payment of interest on
borrowed money Does our eontem-
porary mean 10 infer that the non
partisan TRANSPORTATION process will
develop a method Of meeting interest
payments without taxing the people, or
should the city's debts be repudiated?
And has cur esteemed non-partisan
contemporary forgotten that a large
portion Of this indebtedness was in

The evering organ of non-partisan
craftsmanship thinks the movement
is good thing because neither of the
old parties can be expected to restrain
the 'heelers and hurrah boys" who at
tend the primaries. There are frst-rate
prospects that the Republican "heelers
and hurrah boys viii rush pellmell
into the new party. What superior
methods does it propose to adopt for
their suppression?

Several Crates of Quail shipped TO

Luling. Texas, January 29.--The need OF
a stringent game law was made very plain

in his section make it rule to smash
every trap that they find. but in spite OF
| watchlriuess the game birds are trapped
and II some measure is not speedily adopted
for their protection there Will in short
time be but few left. With the bird trap
per. the fish dynauliter and the deer hound
hunter, game is rapidly decreasing. II
thoroughly protected for five years this
section would become a hunters paradise.
All lovers Of game shooting in this section
are preparing a petition to the legislature
asking for the passage of a stringent game
law.
A movement is on foot by several parties
