Effect of Eight-hour Law.

How has the eight-hour law affected
capital and labor in this state?''
las the law is framed. 1 think it
affects capital very little, because 1t
particularly refers to mines and min
ing. and if the mines are properly
managed as good results are obtained
from eight as from ten-hour men, /
think man will do as much work on
an eight-hour shift as in ten hours
under ground, for the reason that an
eight-hour man goes to his work on
his own time. while the ten-hour man
usually goes on the time of his en-
ployer."

What is the rate of wages in
Utah?'
'It is different in different districts.
ranging from $3.50 to $3.50. The nature
of the ground and work to be per-
formed often makes a difference in the
same camp. There is no uniform scale
and I don't believe in one. 1 think a
man should be paid according to his
worth and ability. as it has a tendency
to make the apprentice work himself
up."
Have you had any strikes in Utah?'
None of any consequence for twenty
years. There was one at Silver Reef,
1 think, about twenty years ago which
grew out of demand for union
wages. There was no property des-
troyed but / believe a mine manager
or two was driven out of camp. There
are no active unions at this time that

Conditions of Miners.
What is the social, moral and intel

There is a great improvement,
which / attribute to the fact that
majority of the mining districts are
now settled by more substantial and
moral class of people than the ordi-
nary new districts used to contain.
Social standing and morality has
greatly increased in the older dis
tricts through the influence of the
splendid schools and churches which
they all contain"

"A man can save as much here on
$3.50 as a man in Butte can on $3.50 a
day. Living is cheaper. farm products
are cheaper and the people are more
economical in their habits There is
also saving in clothing to the miner
on account of the less need of gum
clothes in the mines. A man who has
to wear gum clothes counts on so cents
a day for that item alone"

Frankfort, KY. Dec. 8.-The state
board of elections tonight gave out their
official finding for w. S. Taylor for gov
ernor and the rest of the republican
ticket has been elected on the face of the
returns. Commissioners Ellis and PRYOR
signed the majority report, in which
they held that, as a board OF n

returns of the county boards, that their
duties are purely ministerial as canvas
sers, ard that the face OF the returns. as
received by them from the counties, show
the election of the republican state ticket.
Accordingly, the report says, certificates

DECEMBER IA, 1899.
THE TAXES.

1t appears that the PERCENTAGE of de
linquent taxes is larger than usual this
year, and a democratic contemporary
seizes the opportunity to inform us thai
it is caused by the fact hat the cost Of
living has advanced from so TO 100 pei
cent, in the last two years, and rather
vaguely hints at the trusts.
As a matter of fact our people have
passed through a season of unusual
prosperity, and while our merchants are
not here stric ly for the purpose of in
haling the balmy zephyrs waited here
from the Japan current, we deny that
the pricy of living has increased, but
assert that it has decreased as wi ! be
seen by referring to our advertising col
umns.
By a little research our contemporary
will learn that the confidence inspired
by a republican administration has re-
sultedin large investments by our citizens
and in the payment of bills that have
been hanging over their heads since the
policy Of the last democratic admins
tration knocked the foundation out from
under all legitimate business.
Yes, wool is up, aud still climbing;
beef has been bringing big money, NUT
ton has been out Of sight for some time
the wages of laboring men have taken a
long step in advance, the price OF living
has been reduced materially, and our
people never were more independent
than now.
That 50 many taxpayers have failed to
respond at this date is no cause for alarm.
and VIZ think the people OF Teton county
are in 40 particular danger OF being
swallowed up by the hideous monsters
which appear periodically in democratic
sanctums, strike terror to the hearts OF
the timid, and cause the editorial quill
to wobble around like "Ouija" board.
Our democratic contemporary was ap-
p~roximately correct, In one sentence. 1t
says: 1.-The trouble is right here gentle
men,"

fore the state contrasting board for Tie
positions to which they believe them
selves entitled. They held several con
f~erences during the day, but it was not
definitely determined Until 3 o'clock in
the afternoon to make the contest.
Neither he nor Judge Pryor made any
denial of the fact hat they would decide
that Taylor is entitled to the certificate
They would not discuss the matter, but
tacitly admitted that it was true. The
politicians of both parties departed from
Frankfort in great numbers during the
day and the town tonight is practically
deserted.
There has been a great amount of
money bet throughout Kentucky as to
who would be the next governor and the
bettors are trying to decide whether, if
Taylor is declared governor and later
ousted by the legislature as not being a
legal incumbent, he was in fact governor
at all in the eyes Of the law. The Taylor
bettors construe it one way and natural
ly the Goebel men figure it out different
ly. There has been so much money
wagered OF the outcome that the thing
has really a serious side to it.
Is Now Settled.
William S. Taylor was inaugurated as
governor of Kentucky, day before yes
