Citizens Should Pull Together In De-
veloping Industries.

Utah's many and varied resources
have probably received wider recogni-
ton away from home this year than
ever before. But there still remains
much to be accomplished, and 1.-The best
way to promote Utah's welfare in 1907
is a timely topic.
It's mines are and must continue to
be Utahs paramount industry. 1t is
scarcely necessary to encourage acIiv-
ity in this direction, because the search

Inducements sufficient to attract most
people. But it viii be well, besides do
ing our work in hunting for and open
ing up properties. to continue to do
such legitimate advertising as may
serve to make our resources known TO
the world, and invite higher capital,
which otherwise would be used else
where. l might suggest here that the
third session of. the international min
ing congress is TO be held at Milwaukee
in June, and perhaps it would prove
profitable for Utah to send large and
representative delegation, besides fur
nishing a mineral exhibit from this
state.
In these days railroads are the pio-
neers of industry. A locality that has
no railroad transportation facilities is
practically out of the commercial and
industrial world, and is invariably
Stunned by capital seeking investment.
Utah is just now in a position where

soil with the view of cultivating the
most profitable crops, satisfactory re-
suits could not fail to follow. Improve
ment in the class and increase in the
quality of the livestock raised in the
state might be made to vastly. add TO
the wealth OF Utah.
OF poultry we import too much and
export too little. The same may be
said of fruit. Either of these indus
tries with corresponding outlay will
produce with less labor double the
profit of field or farm The creameries
of the state can produce twice the
amount of cheese and butter they are
now yielding. Few of them work TO
more than half capacity. The number
of milk COWS should be doubled.
Manufacturing Industries should be
promoted. Few believed that sugar
could be proftably made in Utah until
great effort and combined capital CO.
operatively demonstrated it. The rails
ing of horses, cattle, sheep and hogs
should be increased to the limit of
profitable demand. The mines of the
state should be worked to their paying
capacity, and the profits invested at
home. Taxes should be as light as pos
sible consistent with necessary i'm
provements Education should be more
practicable, less theoretical. Schooling
that tends 10 make work irksome and
distasteful does more harm than good.
No system of education can be made
equal to the task of fitting the entire
community to make an honest living
on wit Without producers we can
have no consumers. Labor, therefore,
should be held in high esteem. Little
distinction can be made between the
educated and uneducated tramp. Both
are a nuisance when self-impoSed.

Fewer Monopolies, More Railroads
and Bimetall;sm.

1 am asked to STATE briefly my views
as to measures that will contribute to
the best interests and prosperity Of the
people of Utah.
l would encourage the development of
our mining interests in every legitimate
way possible, the minerals taken from
mother earth rob no individual peTson
of his rights, and add new wealth and
blessings TO the community. The met
ais from our mines should net be sub
jeot TO the greed of one purchasing and
smelling monopoly, which can exact
such tariff ard disc1imiL,slions as suit
it's pleasure. Excessive freight and
smelling charges retard mining enter
pIises, while the reverse policy en-
oourages investment and increased pro-
duction. This business can and should
be regulated by the people through
law
Our state needs increased railway ia
cilities to Deep Creek on the west, and
south 10 California, which would open
up immense resources and volume of
business. We are entitled to lower
railroad freights and cheaper fuel, with
our extensive coal fields. to compel the
people to pay 81 or IS for coal, that only
costs about 81 a ton to mine and put
on the cars. is an outrage on a suffer-
ing community.
Direct taxation on property should be
lessened, low taxes encourage invest
ments, stimulate, improvements, and
give employment 10 labor. State ard
city revenues should be increased by
income and graduated Inheritance
taxes. and municipal ownership (under
civil service rules) of pubic utilities.
TIE more the wealth IS diffuseii among
the people the more stable the govern
ment. and prosperous the community.
In political matters, there should be
less paItiennsflip and more interest in
the public good. The people should de-
mand and vote for an amendment to
the state conel.futibn giving them the
right to adopt such measures by direct
legislation in state and local affairs, as
will give equal rights to all and special
privileges TO none.

of creeds and cerenionfals, and more of
good deeds and broshec-iy charity, that
characterize true Christianity.

The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1899-12-31

As tending toward Utah's welfare,
justice, truth and honor should be ex-
allied, and to every man. woman and
child in the state, there should be ex-
tended the highest possible liberty con-
sistent with the rights of others. Every
possible effort to obliterate prejudices
heretofore existing between Gentle and
Mormon SHOULD be made. Their inter-
ests are common, not antagonistic.
Both to their states virtue should be
very kind, to its faults, just little
blind
Cooperative effort should be en-
couraged; 1t may become the shepherd
boy destined to vanquiSh the mighty
trusts, the Boosting Goliath of the
period. Capital and labor in Utah
should be harmonized as friends, not
alienatei as enemies To that end
capita; should be just and generous,
labor conservative and conscientious.
Increased population should be sought.
Industrious. honest and moral immigra-
ton should be encouraged in every
possible legitimate way.
Owners of valuable mining properties
having insufficient means with which
to develop them should be induced to
sell in part or in whole to those having
the necessary funds. Swindling wild
cat schemes, put forward to deceive
and entrap prospective investors.
should be exposed and denounced-by
the public press. Utah better remain
honorable and poor than gain wealth
through dishonest methods. Riches
without honor would not promote
Utah's welfare in 1900 or any other
year, even though the golden calf now
appears to be the god of the world.
Extension of the Utah & Pacific rail-
way to San Diego, Cal, and to the ex-
tensive coal and iron fields of southern
Utah would undoubtedly prove Won
derful promoter of the states welfare.
During 1900 the marvellous mineral
deposits of Deep Creek and vicinity
should experience the inspiring, quick
ening touch of steam transportation
and electric communication with the
states capital city. If our agricultur-
lists would study the character of their
