MILES GIVES REASONS
FOR FORTIFICATION OF FED
ERAL BUILDINGS
His European Trip Showed Him the
Need of Protecting the Sub
Treasury Holdings

NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-(By Associated
Press Leased Wire to Herald.) A dis
patch to the World from Washington
says General Nelson A. Miles was asked
last night to give his reasons for recon-
mending the fortifcation of the new fed
eral building in Chicago with Gatling
guns. He said:
"There are nine places in this country
where the treasure chests Of Uncle Sam
are located, and for the past twenty
years I have urged the necessity Of pro-
tecting these repositories with the most
approved patterns of fire arms. When
the subject of a new building at Chicago
was broached, one of my first thoughts
was for protective measures in case
there should be an attempt directed
against the subtreasury holdings, which
will be put in the building. While I was
in Contsantinople the details of the at
tack on the Turkish bank in that city
were related to me. and brought back to
me the necessity for some means Of de-
fense of the public institutions Of the
United States. Gatling guns could be
placed where they would be available
at moments notice"
General Miles did not believe there
was any necessity to fortify postoffices
or other federal structures, except those
in which are large sums of government
money. He thinks that in each city
where there are subtreasuries a detail
of troops should be maintained. Accord
ing to his plans this would involve no
extra expense to the government.
Supervising Architect Taylor of the
treasury department calls attention to
the fact that the mint at Philadelphia
was constructed to permit of it's occu-
pancy by light artillery men in case Of
an emergency.

SUGAR FACTORY FOR OGDEN.

A number of Ogden's leading citizens
are interesting themselves in a PROPOSE
ton TO erect sugar factory at that
place. In many respects it has adyant-
ages over any place in the state. 1t is
at the gateway for the north. east and
west. and is situated in the midst of
an agricultural country that is the
equal OF any in the state for sugar
beet culture. Some of the best sugar
beets that have ever gone to the Lehi
factory have been raised in Davis
county. and Davis county would be a
natural contributor to an ogden sugar
factory. For power the factory could
avail itself OF the advantages offered
by the Pioneer Electric Power com
pany, which would aid that enterprise
and utilize locally power that is now
seeking market. a sugar factory in
Ogden would bring much money into
the town and furnish employment to
many. 1t would greatly enhance the
value of farming lands in Weber
county and would be a great benefit in
every way.
1t has long been an ambition of Mr.
Eccles' to build another sugar factory
in the state. and on one or two &C.
casions he has made overtures to sew
eral gentlemen looking to the erection
of factory, and the only thing that
caused them to hesitate to venture
their means in such an enterprise
was the fear that the Sugar trust
would come into the state and crush it
out. What commentary on the en-
couragement given to trusts by the
general government that is,
It is to be hoped that sugar factory
viii be built at Ogden. And if it is
built may all success attend it.

THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN
MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS.

The promoters of the non-partisan
movement say that party politics as
such has no place in municipal cam
paign; that political parties as such
have no business to take up municipal
matters; that municipal matters con-
Germ the people and the people alone.
Are political parties anything but the
people who constitute the common
wealth? Because the people divide on
political questions taking different
views of and advocating different poll
cies regarding them, is that any rea-
son why they should not as members
of political parties participate in the
control and mana cement of the city's
affairs? The n-partiSans, who op-
pose party participation in municipal
matters, say that their control and
management is a matter of common,
undivided interest, that it is to the adj
vantage of all that they be admins
tered in a business and economical
way. Are not the control and manage
ment, the business and economical ad-
ministration Of the states or the ma
TONS affairs likewise matters of COM
mon concern in which all are deeply
interested? All agree that the common
good is the thing to be striven for in
government, but people differ radically
as to how that common good can best
be attained. There is Just as much
room. comparatively speaking, for dis
agreement as to how best TO further the
common good in city as in a state or
the nation.
But what do the promoters of the
non-partisan movement in Salt Lake
City declare? They declare that neither
politics, national issues nor parties
have any proper business in the mu-
nicipaI campaigns. According TO their
theory and practice nobody in salt
Lake City has any right to say any
thing about how municipal affairs shall
be managed or by whom they shall be
managed but the self-appointed nom
partisan committee. Was ever so pre-
posterous a claim made? Was ever such
arrogance shown? Was ever such bra
zen contempt of the peoples right to
control their own affairs displayed?
