THE LAW

Life is a Shylock; always it demands
The fullest usurer's interest for each pleasure
Gifts are not freely scattered by it's hands;
We make returns for every borrowed treasure
Each talent, each achievement and each gain
Necessitates some penalty to pay.
Delight imposes lassitude and pain,
AS certainly as darkness follows day.
All you bestow on causes or on men,
OF love or hate, OF malice or devotion,
Somehow, sometime, shall be returned again
There is no wasted toll, no lost emotion.
The motto of the world is give and take. &.s.
1t gives you favors out of sheer goodwill
But unless speedy recompense you make,
You'll find yourself presented with it's bill.
When rapture comes to thrill the heart of you,
Take it with tempered gratitude. Remember. 3
Some later time the interest will fall due
No year brings June that does not bring De-
cember.

week referring the fire department bills
back to the fire commissioners. He
read from the charter to show that the
bills could only be paid on the order Of
the council; the city attorney. also said
that there was no power outside the
council to pay the bills. The majority
evidently thought that if the bills could
not be paid except by the council, that
body ought to have something to say
about their contraction. The motion to
reconsider failed by vote of 7 to 8.
There was more controversy over the
payment of commissions on city or
ders. Alderman Richardson presented
resolution for the renewal of certain
orders. Somebody wanted to know If
any commission had been paid for these
renewals. Richardson couldn't tell.
Finally, though, he concluded that a
commission of 4 per cent per year for
two years had been paid. The matter
was by vote of 9 to 6 referred to the
finance committee. >: ...- ~
President Cochrane (Vice President
Rowley being in the chair moved that
notice be given that the city was paying
no commission on the renewals of it's
orders. Burg said the city could not
borrow money at 7 per cent unless a
commission was paid. Richardson, who
few minutes before had to ponder
awhile before he could tell whether or not
a commission had been paid, now de-
clared that every effort had been made to
avoid paying commission, but without
success. Cochrane said the commits
sions we're an advertisement of the city's
insolvency. He referred to the bill
passed through the late legislature
extending the payment of delinquent
assessments as bill to keep the city
out of it's money and added that many
OF those whose names appeared most
numerously on the delinquent tax list
were the ones who most severely criti-
cised the administration of the city's
finances.
Simpson said he would vote against
refunding these orders at per cent.
Under the new charter they can be re-
funded into or ~ per cent bonds.
The motion was finally laid on the table
to await the attendance Of Mr.. Voss.

The session of the city council Mon
day night was briefer than usual and
rather devoid of interest. Under the

received from the grand jury in regard to
the reference to that body of the charges
against Chief Black, in which the
Jury declined to take the matter up on
the ground that it did not properly come
within their jurisdiction.
Estimates were ordered paid as fol-
lows: Carol Porter company, $751;

dition number of miscellaneous bills
were also ordered paid.
There was difference of opinion over
the improvement of the Mission Creek
canal. The council committee reported
an appropriation of $3.50; the board of
public works alleged that $1,000 was
necessary, and that in the absence OF a
sufficient amount numerous claims for
heavy damages were very, probable

GROWING PERFECTLY SHAME

The appointment Of a resident of Ari-
IONA TO be register of the land Office at
Salt Lake City is calling forth COM
ment from papers other than those
published IL Utah. Thus the New
York Evening Post says:
President Mckinley seems to be
growing perfectly shameless about
breaking the pledges of his party in
order to reward men for personal SER
vices TO him in securing his nomination
by the St Louis convention last year.
one OF those pledges was that all the
federal officers appointed for the terri
tories should be selected from bona fde
residents, as has always been the rule
for the states. 4 few weeks ago the
president violated this principle by ap-
pointing as d receiver Of the land office
in Oklahoma Il resident Of New Mexico,
whose claims" were summed up IN the
fact that he is Il cousin of Mr.. McKip-
ley. Now he has gone still further in
the case of Utah which gecently
emerged from the territorial condition.

This action has set the Republican

clare that the course of the president

PARTY OR PERSONAL GOVERN.
MENT.

The question which today confronts
the citizens Of Salt Lake City is that
of personal against party government.
The non-partisans represent personal
government: the Democrats represent
party government.
In every state in the Union party
government is known as responsible
government, and the people have not
learned any other way of having re-
spon6ible government. The non-parti-
san committee says that its candidates,
if elected, viii be responsible to the
people, but it does not explain how. In
the sense that all public officials are
responsible to the people this is true,
but supposing that their candidates
when installed in office should take it
into their heads to ignore what may
he called the non-partisan platform.
and pursue such a policy as they
choose, one diametrieally opposed to
the platform, what then? If Mr.. Clark
were mayor and should choose to make
appointments to Office as reward for
loyalty to him, and they were totally
unfit, upon whom would the blame for
his nominations and course rest? Upon
a few gentlemen temporarily associated
together for the purpose of putting a
ticket in the field. and uDon no one
else. 1t would be case Of purely per
sonal government and nothing else.
/ BY claiming that Mr.. Clark would
be responsible to the people, the COM
mittee by inference denies that he
would be responsible to it. He certain
1 ~ would not feel responsible to any
party, and might feel that he was
! placed in power to be a dictator In
other words, he might feel that hav-
! ing been nominated by no party he was
5 free to do as he chose and to use his
office as he pleased.
UnquestionabIy Mr. Clark is a good
citizen and an honest man, but would
those who may support him for mayor
think of putting him or anyone else in
/ the governors chair as the candidate
of no regular party that could be held
responsible for his official acts? In ou
American politics the people want TO be

ministration's failure. no matter

wise TO give that organization credit

lions call for party government and
are hostile TO personal government

WHY NOT DECLARE Foa s1LvERe

The Tribune and the News are very
much opposed 20 bringing the silver
question into the local campaign,
claiming that it has no proper place
there. They also profess great friend
ship for silver, and say that the people
of Utah are practically a unit for it.
Then what objection can there posi-
bly, be to having the people of salt
Lake City make 4 declaration in favor
Of silver? II it is said there is no
need for it viii some one ten what harm
there is in making it2 There is no
election for members OF the legislature
in Utah this year. but there is il some
of the states. and why should not a
word of good cheer be sent to the
friends of silver in those states? Why
rot make it known TO the friends of
silver throughout the land that the
people of Salt Lake City and Utah are
still true to it? The moral effect Of
positive declaration Ivy the people at
the polls in favor Of silver would be
great.
Again we ask, What objection in the
world can there be to declaration in
favor of silver by the people Of Salt
Lake City though that declaration he
made through municipal election?
When there is such strenuous oppo-
sition TO any reference to the silver
question in our local campaign there
must be some reason for it other than
the paltry excuse that everybody being
in favor of silver there is no necessity
for a reference to it. The very fact
of the existence of this opposition is
more than enough to make the people
suspicious. The true explanation IS no
doubt, that if the silver question is
made prominent to schemes of those
who oppose it will have no possible
chance of success. And any political
scheme which has for one of its pur-
poses the elimination of the silver ques-
ton from the politics of this state. no
matter what the pretense for the eIimi-
nation may be, should be killed out
right. When political parties in Utah
refuse to declare the sentiments of her
people on the silver question the peo-
pie Should refuse TO support them or to
have anything to do with them.

STATE PROTECTION TO STATE
INDUSTRIES.

II il IS right to enact national laws
that protection to American in
dustries may be had. it can be no
less sight to enact state laws having
for their object Immediate protection
TO the productions of the state. The
legislature of California has taken this
view OF the matter and enacted laws
to protect and encourage the industries
of that state. and this fact has brought
forth many protests. 1t seems that the
California statute provides that "wher-
ever the home produced article can
meet the requirement Of any institu-
ton in this state as to price and quail
ity Of supplies, then the board OF SUI
perYisors must contract for such goods
irrespective of offers made by produc-
CTS outside of California"
No doubt that provision was made
to secure the California market to the
Californians, It is charged against
them that they are selfish and deprive
themselves Of the benefit of competi-
ton. That is true. but they secure the
home market to the home producer
even though it may cost the general
taxpayer more than it would we're the
state given the benefit of competition
An exchange asks what would be the
result if all the other states should fol-
low the example of California On the
theory of protection every state in the
Union would build Itself up and enjoy
an amount of prosperity beyond the
dreams Of the most enthusiastic and
hopeful Drotectionist as things now
are.
California has chosen very selfish
policy, one that if persisted in viii do
her more injury that almost anything
else. The people of the other states see
this and how unwise is the states eff
fort to shut out competition from other
states, but that which they condemn in
California is that which they praise in
the general government. If the policy
of protection and no foreign competi
ton is good for the United States col
lectiveIy. it should be good for the
states individually If California is
selfish it must be remembered that she
is also logical

a FALSE NoN-PARTIsAN STATE
MENT.

In the first address that the non
partisan committee put forth this
declaration was made:
Party administration in municipal
affairs should be forever abolished.
This is no experiment, no new doctrine
The best governed cities of the old
world have made it triumphant. the
largest and most progressive American
cities are struggling successfully With
the same problem,
That is an important statement and
should be substantiated. We have
asked that it be substantiated by the
committee that put it forth, but it has
not been done: it viii not he done; it
cannot be done. There is not a city
in Europe that has ever had party
government as it is understood in the
United States, and this fact the nom
partisan committee must know. There
is not a city in Europe that has non
partisan government such as the COM
mittee is seeking to impose on Salt
Lake City; and this fact the committee
must know. The statement that the
best governed cities Of the old world
have made the principal of non-parti-
sanship triumphant is both misleading
and false. How is it possible for them
to have a non-partisan government
when they have had no party govern
ment? AS examples of the best gov
erned cities of Europe may be named

tically under a military government
VIII the committee tell the people of
Salt Lake City whether or not the
heads of municipal affairs in those two
great cities are elected by the people,
/ acting as partisans or as non-parti-
sans? If it even attempts to answer
the question it will never say that they
are. Nor will the committee ever say
that the city government of any Eu-
ropean city IS elected by universal bal
! lot; that is, if it has any regard for
J the truth
In its address the committee has sim
ply resorted to trickery, thinking to
impose upon the people. And it is not
very good cause that has to be boil
stored up in such a way. The commit
/ tee should be honest in its statements
/ though it be autocrauc in its methods.

in the way of the payment of political
debts by the administration. The peo-
pie of Utah suffered SO long from the
imposition of carpet bag officials upon
them that thex-thought that when they
left the territorial stage of government
they had left all that behind them; but
it seems that they were mistaken.
Il must be a bitter pill 10 the Repub-
liean leaders of the state % have to
face the charge of betrayal of the state
by the administration in the matter of
appointments. And then it is an af-
front to the people OF the state them
selves. The people of Utah would pre-

political debts to Arizonians by APP
pointing them to office in Arizona in
stead of to office in Titan.
