SUSPECTS AT BINGHAM.
Five Of Them Picked Up By Deputy
Sheriff Goldman.
Especial to The Herald. }


Bingham Junction, June 2S.-Five
tramps were arrested here this morning
by Deputy Sheriff Goldman and they
are suspected of the murder of Special
Officer William Strong at Provo vester-
day morning. The names of the men
could not be learned, for the matter has
been kept very quiet.
1t is understood. however, that an en-
gineer of the Rio Grande Western is tina
man who threw suspicion on the men. He
had seen them at Bingham Junction and
remembered them as five tramps whom
he had seen about the depot at Provo on
the night of the murder or during the
next day. At any rate he is certain that
they were in Provo at the time of the
murder.
Deputy Goldman came over from Muir
ray in rush when he heard of the men.
and he gathered them up at their rendez-
vous near the depot. He arrested them
on the charge of vagrancy, and they will
likely be held on that charge until it Is
learned whether or not the suspicion of
murder is well-grounded.
A telephone message from Murray said
that Deputies Dowse and Harris had met
Goldman at Murray and taken the men
TO Salt Lake to put in the county Jail.

What Gov. Lind has done for the Farmers

It is charged by the assailants of Gov.
Lind's administration that the increase
recently made in the cost of grain in
spection is hardship to the farmers and
that Gov. Lind is indirectly responsible
for it. They know they are lying when
they make such charge, for they know
that the increased cost of inspection is
made to pay the expenses of the two
boards Of appeal, which were created by
a republican legislature, but they stick
to the lie just the same. And with vet
further lack of candor and fairness they
neglect to refer in the remotest way to a
fact which is now we'll understood
throughout the state-and especially by
grain buyers and the elevator combine.
Is it this: That although the inspection
fee has been raised few cents on a car
load of grain, the inspection HAS ADDED

what they can say to this.

Rsilroad Trust

Plans are being perfected by the Van
derbilts, the Morgans, the Rockefellers,
the Goulds, the Harrimans and . few
Others for tLe combination Of thirty -sev-
en- railroads, with . mileage aggregating
70 .Oe0 miles. That will make 8 railroad
trust Of gigantic proportions.
The Des Moines News says: The
tendency toward railroad consolidation
has been evident for some time, and is
the outgrowth of natural conditions.
Combination is inevitable. But is it for
good or harm? One can easily see how
such combinations might be productive
of good by the increase Of efficiency IN
transportation and the reduction Of rates.
But is the placing Of such tremendous
power in :. few hands apt to bring about
such results? Will not this powerful
railroad trust operate its lines tor pri-
yate profit rather than the public good2
It is a certainty that the railroad trust
will he operated for the benefit of the
members of the trust, and not for the
public good except as it may seem de-
sireable to cater to the public interest in
order TO aid their private interests. At
the present time, when railroad combi-
nations are being formed, there is talk
of a general increase in freight rates. II
is noticeable that passenger rates are be-
ing we'll maintained. There are few
''wars' anywhere in the country. The
passenger departments of the roads APP
pear to have an understanding that
there must be no cutting. There has
been discussion in recent years of the
economies effected in railroad manage
ment and of the great reductions made
in operating expenses in proportion to
the earnings. Yet now it is said that
rates are to be advanced, and for the
cause of this move we must look to the
railroad trusts, some small, but potent
within their narrow limits, and others
large and reaching and possessing
enormous power. .%
The transportation question is one of
the great problems yet to be solved by
the people of the United States. And 1t
is significant, in this connection, that
the number of people who believe in
government ownership of railroads Is
steadily increasing. The creation of
huge railroad trusts can hardly fail to

The Wheat Outlook.

Under the above heading Farm, Stock
and Home says: 1.-THE suggestion made
in the last number that wheat would
probably go lower proved to he true.
At this writing the price has touched the
lowest point of the season, and the end
is not yet, apparently. The TIE great bear
factor IN the problem is the visible sup
ply, which is much larger than a year
ago, yet it should cut no figure as price
maker, for it does not increase the
worlds supply of wheat, nor change the
fact that that supply is smaller this year
than last. But visible supply is price
maker, and will be while reports make
such supply visible, and hence it is un-
fortunate that farmers do not prevent
such an accumulation. A fall like this,
when farmers are so very prosperous, &C
cording to common report, it is strange
that they have rushed wheat to market
in such quantities. Prosperity implies
financial ease, and therefore If prosper
Gus the farmers could have held wheat,
being in no pressing need of the money
it brings. May he, however, they are
so prosperous that they are indifferent
to little thing like price of wheat, and
therefore contribute to reducing its price
for the good of bread buyers. But judy
Ing from Northwestern receipts it is diff
ficult to see where the large visible sup
ply came from, for IN this region the re-
ceipts have been much smaller than a
year ago, by reason of the lighter crop,
and this has been the rule elsew here,
while exports are very nearly as large as
last year. But the "vislble" can he seen,
it is said, and it is very large, and the
price must he corresponlingly small,
and that settles it.

Municipal Ownership.

Municipal Ownership from Across the
Ocean,, in this manner: ---~--'>- : -,
sowing to the powerful influence Of
the corporations, which largely control
the public press and the political ma

ity the benefits of public utilities are
constantly thwarted. Great Britain and
other old-world centers are far ahead of
our republic in this respect. From great
cities like Glasgow and Birmingham to
small towns and villages we are having
impressive illustrations, showing the
vast savings resulting from municipal
ownership and the ownership and opera
