siderable distance from the nearest

could be made, on the score Of public
health. % the location
More than this. Mr.. Calvin proposes
60 handle ell the garbage during the
life of the lease, at a rate of s. per
car. The desirability of accepting this
offer is readily apparent The Short
Line traverses the city from the north
eru TO the southern limits. IL would
be possible to establish garbage sta
tions. one in the southern, one In the
central and one in the northern por-
ton of salt Lake. In this way a vast
amount of hauling would be saved and
SO small number of teams could be
made TO take care cf the garbage in a
very thorough manner.

That is. it is point within the free

cepted and a contract or lease between
the city and the Short Line entered
into. j. IS gratifying to uo,e the in
terest that is being taken in the cree
tiOn or the crematOry. The campaign
waged by The Herald for its coustruc-
ton is bearing fruit in the form of
action.
Chairman Dooly of the board Of pub

to handle the worst of the Summer
gsrbsge. some delay is being occa-
stoned Just now in the acceptance of
bids fcr two reasons. One is that the
board is undecided as to which Of Two
crematories is the better. The other
is that none of the bidders contem-
plated a fre-p proof structure.
This is deemed absolutely necessary.

Quesuonably the board would be an

must see that the city gets it.

LEASING PUBLIC LANDS.

THE OBJECTIONS offered by Land
Commissioner Herman to the Bow
ersock land leasing bill seem well
founded. As at present framed, the
measure is entirely IN the interest OF
large stock raisers and it should not
pass in its existing form. There is no
more reason why wealthy cattle cor
porations should secure long leases on
public lands than that wealthy mining
| combinations should be permitted TO
| lease mineraf-bearing properly on In
dian reservations. Public land for
/ grazing or other purposes, should be
| held for the use and benefit of the
public. and not for private corpora
tons OF individuals
Il is urged that if extensive leasing
is permitted IL viii do away IN large
measure with the frequent conflicts be-
tween the cattle and sheepmen.
This is a worthy object. aut there are
other equally desirable ends to be
attained. One is the finding of homes
for settlers. AS the advantages Of
western land are being put more fully
| before the people in the crowded agri-
cultural communities of the east and
middle west they are growing more
anxious to find homes out here. 1t is
right and proper that every induce
ment be held out 10 them.
If large sections of the public domain
are turned over 10 the sheep and cattle
interests it wifi have a tendenry 10
check the tide of western immigration.
This tide is being augmented just now
by the prospect Of national aid for
irrigation. Clearly there would be lit
lie sense in the government devotiug
large sums of money to irrigating land
for grazing purposes. Irrigation is
designed. primarily, to promote agri-
culture, 10 increase the producdveness
Of the soil tributary To the irrigation
works
To turn over the government lands
to corporations engaged solely IN the
livestock industry would be to deal a
blow 10 national irrigation from which
it would be slow to recover. The Bow
ersock bill IS an extremely dangerous
piece Of proposed legislation, in that it
holds out false promises It purports
to give settlers preferential rights, but,
as pointed out by Mr.. Herman, it does
nothing Of the kind. When land is
leased 10 a livestock company it be-
comes. To all intents and PURPOSES. the
property of that company during the
life of the lease.
The hiH also gives lessees the right
10 sub-let. OF course, the government
would have no control over the price at
which the suitcase would be given. \
homesteade- might be required to pay
far more than his just proportion of
the value of the land in order TO secure
temporary occupancy. The smaller
stock raisers. it is stated. are prac-
tically all against the bill. They are
the ones who are entitled 10 protection.
for the wealthy corpor lions are amply
able to take care of - selves. 1t is
possible that the BoUersOck measure
may be amended so as to make it more
satisfactory. but it certainly should not
be reported favOTably as now drawn.
