COUNTING THE COST.

A Washington correspondent of a
mathematical bent has been figuring
the cost of the present government of
the United States. Taking official sta
tistics as a basis, ne calculates the bill
to the taxpayer at S25O.cOO an hour;
nearly Sc. O0O.OO a day; more than S40,-
600, 900 a week, almost s15O,OOOOOO a
month, and close to 1908, 600, 600 a year.
The charming feature of the state
ment is the ingenuity with which the
patriots in charge Of expenditures keep
right on with plans to pile up the
burden. With a ship subsidy bill call
ing for 100000 a year for the next
twenty years; a Nicaragua canal to
take s14O,OOO,OOO as a starter and as
much more as the promoters can steal;
a big standing army and a 5000. 100000
navy yet to be passed upon, the pro-
gramme of loot has hardly reached the
overture.
Two billions a year is a tidy sum for
distribution among the faithful, but it
isn't a marker to the Iargess that would
be handed out if the same gang of
pOcket-boCk PATRIOTS We're returned to
Office for another four years. BY that
same token they viii not be returned:
the figures are too plain.

RESERVOIRS IN The ROCKIES.

An organized movement to have the
federal government build great reser-
voirs at the headwaters and along the
course of the streams rising in the
Rocky Mountains is now under way in
Kansas. Nebraska, Colorado Wyoming
and other western states. The enor-
nous waste Of water in the winter and
spring, followed by disastrous floods
and subsequent drouths, have forced
upon public attention the desirability
and necessity of a comprehensive reser-
voir scheme under federal control.
A trip down the Arkansas, Rio
Grande. Green, Grand, Platte and Mis-
souri, rivers at this season shows the
streams bank full, the precious fluid,
worth almost its weight in gold if
stored, all running to waste and full
filing no good purpose because seasonal
precipitation supplies current demands
for irrigation. Later on the fields that
border these same floods now will be
parched, the crops pauperized. because
individual enterprise is unequal to the
tremendous requirements of a storage
system.
The problem is as important to the
east as TO the states of the mountains
and western plains. The reclamation
of the lands that could be made pro-
ductive by reservoirs would provide an
empire of consumers, beside which the
islands of the Pacific would be a petty
province in commerce. New millions
could be given comfortable homes, and
their industry could compete with the
world in food supplies on terms that
would make them masters Of the situa-
ton. Manufactures would inevitably
follow. the iron and coal deposits of
the west would find market at their
own doors; every valley of the Rocky
Mountains, every acre of the vast plain
On their eastern slope would be peopled
with free, intelligent cultivators of the
soil. The accumulated capital of the
east could find profitable investment
for millions on millions of dollars, and
the problem of the great cities with
their surplus population would be
solved.
With storage reservoirs at the head
of each great river. and distributing
reservoirs along their beds, there could
be no failure of crops, no uncertainty
Of revenues for the individual or the
state. Such expansion would be along
the lines Of freedom AID equality, along

the path the fathers Of the republic
trod when they saw dimly the possible
tiles of the region that now comprises
the middle states.
Utah is yet in the infancy of the de-
velopment that would follow if this
state were to be made a part Of such
a reservoir system. The valleys of the

The VALLEY ROAD FRANCHISE.

The Herald this morning gives space
to & communication from Councilman
y. =. Fernstrom in defense of the ac-
ton OF the city council in the matter
of the Valley road franchise. Mr..
Fernstrom probably presents as strong
a showing as can be made in behalf OF
the Valley road, and no doubt expresses
his honest convictions, although as a
property owner who hopes to be bene-
fitted by the proposed road he may
not be altogether unbiased. We co not
think that he makes it clear why this
read could not enter the city except
by cutting up a new street ard running
across the Warm Springs property,
and his assumption that this is a
street railway pure and simple is GER
tainly not justified by the facts. There
are few people familiar with the situa-
ton who believe that this road will be
buiIt and operated solely for such
share of the passenger traffic between
salt Lake ana ogden as it may be able
to secure in competition with three
other existing lines. We make the
prediction that within tive years it Will
be opera ting a double track steam rail
road into the heart of the city over one
of the hest residence streets, under an
amended franchise.
Mr.. Fernstrom thinks that the usual
SIS. per car tax imposed upon the com
pany fully meets the Democratic plat
form demand for substantial compen-
sation for al such franchises. This
tax will possibly yield the city a
revenue 81 500 per year, hardly Sub
stanual compensation" for so valuable
a franchise ans certainly not the sort
of compensation meant by the Demo-
Gratis who framed the municipal plat
form.
As to the methods employed in push
ing this franchise through the council
over the mayors veto, the protesting
property owners who attended the ses-
sions of the council committee and of
the ooureiI itself, can probably speak
with some degree Of accuracy. They
marveIed greatly SIS one after another

railway side of the fence, and it is
known that many were heard to re-
mark upon the wonderful skill dis
played in "oiling the machirea.'
The Herald hopes that this Valley
road is really opening the way for an
other great trunk line as many be-
ueve the case to be, and that a dozen
other railways viii come TO Salt Lake.
But it would greatly prefer to see them
seek their franchises in an open
manner, and to see these franchises
granted. with due regard to the rights
of property owners and the Interests
of the public.

well in hand until she reached the yell
planned climax, which invariably swept
her audience out of itself into the en-
chanted realm where she reigned SUI
prenle- Besides her originality she had
a dramatic force, based upon the study
of the art of Rachel, which would have
won her distinction, even if she had
not been Drima donna To these
gifts she added fire, sympathy, an in
JellectGal grasp of her subject and sim
cerity-a combination of the gifts Of
several artistic temperaments.
And yet, SO all her contemporaries de-
clare, the magic of her voice was as
nothing to the personality of the wom-
an. So keen was her intellectual grasp
of the topics, the problems Of the day
so noble yet so kindly withal was her
conception of life and its duties, that
those who were uplifted by the charm
of her voice declared, like the mother
of Dean Stanley, that they would
rather hear Jenny talk than sing.
Back of all charm lay the goodness or
the woman-a Supplemented goodness
which leveled all class distinctions,
which converted the skeptic and
strengthened the believing-the perfect
flowing of a deeply practical, religious
nature upon which had been grated
the marvellous gift of music. Because
Christianity was the master spring of
her life, her message was optimistic,
and, therefore, helpful. She said that
she was glad from morning till night,
as who would not be, entrusted with
the guardianship of so great a gift.
Surrounded by her happy children
and grandchildren, she died as beaut1-
fully as she had lived. Stretching out
her hands to the sunlight coming in
through the shutters which her daugh-
ter had just opened, there burst from
her lips the first notes of her faverite

FIRST GLASS NEWS.

Right on top of The Herald's an
nouncement that its relief fund would
be closed came sundry subscriptions
amounting TO $76S.O5 in one day, which
sum was turned over to the treasurer
of the general fund. The good people
who sent the money may rest assured
there is room for their subscriptions
and more in the desolate hoEIes of
Scodeld, and The HeraId's columns viii

otherwise.

BARKER AND HIS FRIENDS.

Wharton Barker, the Philadelphia
ex- banker who was nominated for pres
ident by the middle-of-t he-road popu-
lists. called on President Mckinley
Wednesday, and Immediately after
leaving announced that he, Jarker, ex-
pected to get enough votes to make
BryaE's defeat certain. If Mr.. Bar
ker's reputation as prophet stood for
more than three mills on the dollar
there might be some occasion for ap-
prehension, but from this sample of his
power as seer it is safe to copper any
thing he may say.
It is significant that the Barker in
terview followed q visit to the White
House. At least one distinguished poli4
tician from Utah made just such visit
and encountered Mark Hanna on the
way 1t is not known how much Mark
lost. but it is certain the Utah man
parted with all the opinions he had
when he started and came back with
a dislike for everything he had been
supposed to hold dear. He left Salt
Lake with an ardent affection for silver
and came back cherishing gold-and
lots of it. He boarded the sleep
or outbound with a grip full
of dislike for Mckinley; it took
three packing cases to bring back
his admiration for the president and his
works. When he left, he thought-or
said he thought-the whole administra-
ton was composed of thieves and i'm
beetles: by the time be had been in
Washington twenty-four hours. these
same gentlemen had been transformed
into pure-minded, high-souled, sweet
spirited patriots with a monopoly Of

such as Mr.. Barker or the Utah states
man aforementioned, visit Washington.

THE REAL QUESTION,

This discussion as to the merits Of
iron or wooden stave pipe may be very
interesting to the city engineer and the
board of public works, but there is a
still more vital subject that might well
be talked over before the controversy
is settled by the city council, and that
is the raising of money with which to
buy either iron or wood.
Salt Lake City has a good revenue
from taxable property and licenses, but
a large part of the income is burdened
with fixed charges in the shape OF in
terest on bonds. Every member of the
council. the board of public works, and
the city engineer must be aware Of the
fact that no extensive purchases of
pipe for waterworks can be made with
out a heavy increase in taxation or the
issuance of bonds The city is already
paying interest on an Overdraft which
is heavier than usual thus early IN the
fiscal year. The current expenses of
the city for maintenance alone have
been increased at the rate of $1,000 to
$40, 900 per month through extravag-
ance in the departments and an in
crease in salaried officials. Is the city
council prepared to increase the tax
levy for city purposes? Is it ready to
go before the people with a PROPOSE
ton to issue more bonds?
This question of revenue is much
more important than any technical
discussion OF iron or wood as a means
of absorbing city taxes. and The Her
