tainty of coming trouble. The foreigners
were gathering in places of safety, and
the compounds they had left remained
unmoiested-
One incident curiously shows the COM
bined lightness and frenzy of the public
mind. On a certain evening a boy or
about 16 walked down a street, marking
a door here and there with Il circle Of
white chalk, before which he bowed
sOlemnly.
Presently all the people came to their
doors in a great state of excitement, and
began 20 discuss the proceeding and de
bate as to what IL might mean. The
marked houses might belong to the
friends or foes of the Boxers, the saved
or lost.
Suddenly a man went up to the boy.
seized him by the pigtail, and asked him
what he meant. The bystanders were
amazed at a courage which dared inter
fere with an emissary of the Boxers and
the boy himself tried to sWagger little,
and braZen it out
What were you doing it for?" insisted
the man. Tell, or l take you to the

Then the boy fell on his knees and
owned that he was only doing 1t for a

had succeeded his hopes.

THE CHOICE OF AN AUDITOR.
TT is URGED with great persist

II is URGED with great persist
ency that the present city audi
= tor has instituted system of ac-
counts by which any citizen at any
time may find out just how the city
stands financially, and anything else
pertaining to the city's management.
What are the real facts. The law
requires The auditor to issue a state
mcnt which was due on the first of
this month showing the expenses and
receipts for the quarter According
to this plank i'll the platform it
should be possible to get out such
statement without any difficulty, yet
it is not ready, and viii hot be for
ia Us, unless he has fit Of diligence
such as has never oyertaken him
since he got into office.
The Republican chairman of the
council finance committee, who is
an accountant, was not able 10 make
an intelligent estimate of the city's
needs for the council when the tax
levy was under consideration, be-
cause the auditors books did not
have the data in shape for consider
alton. The books we're in such con-
dition that the council was anxious
10 pu in an expert to help the audi
tor straighten them out, and would
have done so but for that officials OBJ
lection. 1t was not to be expected
that man utterly ignorant of ac-
counting would be able to keep the
books of a business amounting to
more than S1,2OO.OOO in two years,
but it might have oeen supposed that
such a man would allow competent
assistance to be furnished.
Auditor Reiser's opponent in this
election is not only honest, diligent
and accurate, but he is an expert
bookkeeper, and he has had expert
ence in the Office he seeks to fill If
the two men were TO apply to any
corporation for a job Of auditing.
there would not be a moments hest
tation in suybody's mind as to which
would get the place.
The taxpayers of the city need a
good bookkeeper; these two have of
fered themselves for the position. Bsr.
Swan is the one best fitted for he
place, and if the voters exercise BUSH
ness Judgment he viii get it.

The Herald by Mr.. Gould there is
everywhere evidence that he is deeply
impressed with the large possibilities
for industrial growth which Utah
presents.
He has noted how, since his last
visit, tracts OF desert have been
transformed into prosperous looking
farms. He has seen the mining
region expand and increase IN rich
ness, smelters spring up and new
ones being built. Ia close touch with
the railroad interests of the country.
he has not failed to note that the in
evitable destiny of Salt Lake is to be-
come great railroad center, and the
industrial hub of the intermountain
region. His predictions in this re-
gard particularly emphatic.
Il have great faith in the future of
Salt Lake" said Mr.. Gould. at is
the only city of Importance between
Denver and the coast, and it has a
great country from which to draw.
And right here in this valley you
have the resources to feed big pop
ulation. This city ought to become
a great manufacturing center, as
well as a political, financial and job
bing center"
Such words from man of ac-
knowledged business foresight,
schooled to read the industrial
growth of the future by a study of
local conditions and whose view is
not likely to be gilded by sentiment,
are highly encouraging. They con-
tain nothing more optimistic than
Salt Lakers have seen in the future
of their city, but it is gratifying to
have their views confirmed by those
of an outsider whose Judgment IS not
likely to be biased by patriotic en-
thusiasm natural to every local resi-
dent.
Taking the view that he does of
the great possibilities for develop
ment afforded by Utah, Mr.. Gould
promises to build railroad extensions
throughout the state as rapidly as
conditions warrant investments of
this nature. He is too shrewd a bust
Less man not to push for new bust
ness an a territory which he believes
promises such great things to in
vestOrs.

COUNTING the COST.

ESTIMATING THE EXPENSES
up to the end of this year, the
- Thompson administration will
have spent in two years above $780,
600 more titan the Clark administra-
ton spent in the same length of
time. The tax levy on prop erty this
year viii be $4,000 more than it was
last year. And yet Mr.. Thonpson's
supporters ask the taxpayers to re-
turn him to office because he has
shown such consummatc ability to
handle city affairs economically.
Here are the official figures, the
total for this year being estimated
for the last half on the basis of the
auditors estimate for the council.
Total expenditures:
ISIS. ..... ............ .S4Io,1o1
1899 $3.50. =. ...... 495,412
1900 see. ..... $50. $500. $50 rs
1901 Cast half estimated) go. 64S,913
That is, the city taxpayers have
had paid out for them over 100000
more by Thompson than was paid out
by Clark, and the service rendered
has been less efficient; it has been
tainted by scandal in some depart
ments, and some of the men who
have disgraced the whole administra-
ton by their incompetency are still
retained in office.
In the present condition of the
auditors office it is not possible to
get at the exact state of the city's
finances. The quarterly statement
which should have been issued as
required by law on Oct. Is still lack
ing. or it would be a simple matter
to show that at the present rate of
expenditure even the advanced rate
of taxation viii be unequal to the
demands of the coming year.
Omitting entirely the unsavory
way in which the bond fund of $3.50
600 has been expended, overlooking
the fact that the city's bonded debt
Is heavier than ever by S25O.O0O. the
record of the Thompson administra-
ton on the face of its published own
statements is enough to retire the
whole crowd of mon who are re-
sponsialc for this state of affairs.
Thompson ought to be beaten, and
the whole system of city management
put on a business basis.
