STREET LIGHTING.
corJNCILMEN CONSIDERING THE
PIONEER POWER BID.
Think They See Some Objections as
to the Future-Bid Will Doubt
less be Accepted.

And now, after a second reflection.
several members of the city council
have come to the conclusion that the
bid of the Pioneer Electric Power COM
pany to do the street lighting for three
years at Sc per lamp per month may
not be such snap in the long run
OF course for the first three years the
rate will be exceedingly low, but what
of the future?
In the first place. it is believed by
councilmen that the Ogden concern
will control the Salt Lake and Ogden
Gas and Electric Light company, as
we'll as other companies now in the
lighting business in the city. This
will give that corporation Z. monopoly
on the lighting business and three
years hence, officials think. the city
may be in a box, so to speak The
Utah Power company has made all its
propositions and they have been re-
jected. They offered to light the city
at Sc so per lamp per month during the
life of the franchise. If the contract
is awarded to the Pioneer company,
then the Utah Power company Will
not be compelled to put up a pole line,
as the terms of the franchise are that
if the city orders the pole line it must
also take 800 horsepower electrical
energy at $25 per horsepower.
The committee on improvements
having the proposal of the Pioneer
Electric Power company under consid-
Grafton has not vet held a meeting.
The committee is almost unanimous,
however, toward accepting the bid, and
while there may be some opposition in
the council, the Ogden company will
undoubtedly get the contract If it

friends rather than to serve the public
good. The aim should be to reduce the
expense of government by placing q little
faith in the common sense of the people,
and by trusting them to look out for their
own prosperity. The voters are supposed
to be all-wise ct elections and their de-
cision is the supreme law. 1t is even de-
clared that 1.-The voice of the people is the
voice of God" But when the election is
over the citizen is deemed incompetent to
manage his private business without the
aid of public inspectors. Pitiful creature
he is that cannot look after his own little
affairs without having to employ a gov
eminent supervisor. The most plausible
argument in favor of this excessive pub
lie service. which sometimes amounts to
public nuisance. is that ii furnishes a liv-
ing for the unemployed. But it IS Tor
gotten that the salary comes from the
people. and that it would be more eco
nomical to keep these inspectors in the
poorhouse. where at least travelling eX-
penses might be saved. The unnecessary
expense is scarcely realized except where
the officer collects his fees directly from
the owner of the property inspected. In

The supreme court yesterday handed
down an opinion in the case of DR.. Will
liam Mccoy, appellant, who was found
guilty in the district court of perform
ing criminal operation upon the per-
son of EVELYN Bennett, and thereby
causing the girls death. The opinion
which was written by Justice Miner
and concurred in by Chief Justice Zane
and District Judge Hart affirmed the
judgment of the lower court, whereby
Mccoy was found guilty and sentenced
to seven years Imprisonment in the
state penitentiary.
The ground on which the defendant
asked for a reversal were that errors
had been made at the trial in admit
ting photographs of the dead girl and
other evidence which his counsel ar
gued was improper. Errors in the
judges charges to the jury were also
urged
The supreme court, however. after
reviewing the record. found no revers-
ible error and affirmed the Judgment of
the court below.

f1icted today with this same mental delu-
sion. Almost every great corporation
sends an attorney to Washington to seek
legislation that will add millions to those
already acquired. And every now and
then a labor leader arises who would lead
an army of unemployed to the capital, de-
manding work of the government. The
nation is greatly alarmed at this action
of the laboring man, but is his act more
unreasonable or more pernicious than the
act of the capitalist in sending his at
torney? How can the government furnish
labor for the unemployed? How shall it
pay them except by taking money from
the people? And that by force, that is.
by taxation in some form or other. This
is at once recognized as an injustice. But
the demand of the capitalist is still more
unjust He wants to get something for
nothing And that something must be
taken from his fellow-citiZen. If he is
seeking to avoid competition, and by Sc
curing a monopoly. to add an artificial
value to his product. he is seeking the
enrichment of himself at the expense of
others. If it is a bounty he demands, the
question At once arises. How shall the
