AN UNJUST MEASURE,

In conformity with the recommends
tiors made by Governor Smi h regard
ing the bounty law in effect at present,
Representative Phelps has introduced
a bill increasing the bounty on wolves TO
So, and reducing the bounty on coyotes
to 81. The measure is unjust in the ex-
treme, and the residents of Flint Greek
valley and Granite county in general are
practically unanimous in opposition to
the bill. The fact that the coyotes do
more damage than the wolves has long
been demonstrated. Coyotes are found
in every part of the state, and not only
young cattle, but sheep and even fowl
in the barn-yard falls prey to these
pests. General complaint has been
made by the farmers of Flint Creek
valley concerning the loss of chickens,
ducks and other fowl, caused by coyotes.
A large number of coyote skins have
already been presented at the Office of
the county clerk since the beginning the
year, and considerable damage is re-
ported by sheepmen of this county. All
stockmen contribute their share of the
special tax which furnishes the bounty,
and all should share IN the benefits. It
would, perhaps, be we'll to increase the
bounty on wolves, but the bounty on
coyotes should be increased correspond
ingly; but if the fund provided for that
purpose will not allow such an increase,
then the law should remain as it is.
The present bounty law is generally &C
cepted as being all right, and the recon-
mendations of the governor should by no
means be construed as sufficient cause
to change or amend it.

this county to get in line for the cam
paign of 1900, regardless of politics. At
the same time it should have added
which line it referred to-the Clark or
DAILY line. Granite county citizens have
had enough of Democracy, and the
Democratic band wagon will not catch
their game in the next campaign. BIZ

A Philippine Commission.

BEFORE AND AFTER,

Our esteemed contemporary evidently
endeavors to mislead the public when it
claims to have opposed the bill intro
duced by Senator Myers of Rayelli, pro.
viding for the creation of the twelfth ju-
dicial district. In fact, the Call advo-
Gated this move and was very much in
favor of creating this new district until
it discovered that Senator Myers was a
DAILY man. The following clipping from
the editorial page of the Call is suffi-
cient to show to how great an extent our
neighbor opposed the creation of the
new district:
"The proposed change would, in the
opinion of this paper, be a wise one,
and if the bill is introduced, we be-
lieve the people in both Ravalll
and Granite counties, with the
press Of each, would give their
members hearty support in an en-
deavor to carry 1t through"
The Call has the indsputed right of
changing its views upon whatever sub
ject it chooses whenever 1T sees fit; but
the fact remains that it favored the
move of creating the new district until
inspired by fresh current of anti-Daly
sentiment. According to the stand
taken by our contemporary, there are
two separate Democratic parties in the
state-one being the Clark party and the
other the DAILY party. For reasons un-
known to us, the Call is affiliated with
the Clark party, whose cause it cham
plons; but it abhors everything that as
sociates with the DAILY party. An over
abundance of purity exists in both
wings, and no doubt the Call finds itself
attracted to the Clark side by the greater
amount of 'purity." Not sign of op-
position to senate bill No. l is found in
the Call, and the defeat of the bill
in committee was chiefly brought
about through the efforts of The Mail
which openly opposed the measure from
an impartial standpoint.
