therefore. that evils restrictive of com

General Superintendent Young was
notified Of the accident early this mora

OUR MONETARY SYSTEM.
Not Necessary TO Reconstruct Finan'
cial system Now.

Interest rates are potent factor In
business activity, and I'm order that
these rates may be equalized TO meet
the varying needs OF the seasons and
OF widely separated commandments 10
prevent the recurrence Of fnanclalstrin-
aencies which injuriously affect legiti-
mate business, Il Is necessary that there
should be an element OF elasticity IN our
monetary system. Banks are the nat
ural servants OF commerce, and upon
them should be placed, as far as prae.
ticable. the burden of furnishing and
maintaining a circulation adequate TO
SUNNY the needs Of our diversified in
dustries and OF our domestic and for
eign commerce; and the issue Of this
should be so regul;<ed that a sufficient
supply should be Always available Tor
The business interests OF the country.
SOME LEGISLATION NEEDED.
II would be both unwise and unneces'
sary at this time TO attempt to recon
str,lct our financial system, which has
been the growth OF a century but
sone additional legislation is. ! think,
desirable. The mere outline OF any
plan sufficiently comprehensive TO meet
these requirements would transgress
The appropriate limits OF this commun.
ication. II Is suggested. however. that
all future legislation on the SUBJECT
should be with the view OF encourage
ing the use of such instrumentaliues as
viii automatically supply every iegit-
mate demand Of productive IN.
dustrles and OF commerce. not
only In the amount. but In the char,
acter of circulation, and OF making all
kinds OF money interchangeable, ana,
AT the will of the holder, convertible IN
IA the established gold standard.

LAST NIGHTS
DISASTROUS FIRE.

There was rather disastrous fire
at the Langton Lime and Cement COM
pany's plant at Ninth North and Sixth
West street about $50 o'clock last
evening, and the plant was practically
destroyed.
But for the prompt and efficient work
OF the fire ladd!es from station No,
and the steamer from No. /. the loss
would undoubtedly have been complete.
The place was valued at $4,000, and
at this time the loss Is estimated at &c.
OOO with $500 insurance.
Under the direction of Assistant
Chief c, Il. Wood, the fremen fought
the fierce flames for hours and finally
succeeded in saving boiler house and
some valuable brick presses Owing
TO the marshy ground adjacent to the
plant, the steamer and other fire APP
paratus experienced much difficulty In
getting to the place, but the run was
quickly made and the firemen lost no
time ia getting 10 work.
At glance Chief Wood realized that
to save the main building which was
burning fiercely, would be a useless
waste Of time and he quickly gave d.
rectlons which set the men at work
on the other buildings and machinery.
The small steamer was placed on a
bridge and water was pumped from the
stream beneath II. The flames gave
cut the most intense heat and the men
were forced TO work under most try
ing difficulties. When the apparatus
arriyed.two large tanks containing wa
ter were on fire. The tanks were on
frame supports and the water In one
Of thine was almost at the boiling point.
Chief Wood saw two children sitting
on a log near the burning tanks, They
were waiting for them 70 collapse
Chief Wood al once ordered tnem
away, and Il was none too soon, Tor
hardly had thety moved when the TANKS
fell with a crash and the place wac en-
quilted In thousands OF gallons OF
scalding water. Had the children re-
mained there moment longer they
would undoubtedly have been killed.
After making the long run the men
wore compelled 70 work with the Ice
cold water and with the cold wlnd
blowing about them they had decid-
edly dlsagreeable task.
The Are started from an overheated
stove which SET FIRE TO the floor Two
men are employed at the place al night
and they tried TO extingulsh the blaze

SECRETARY OF COMMERCE..
ONCE Should be Created With a
Seat In the Cabinet.

II is earnestly hoped that a secretary
OF commerce may be created, with n
seat In the cabinet. The rapid multi
plcation of questions affecting labor
and capital the growth and complexity
of the organizations through which
both labor and capital now find ex-
preston, the steady tendency toward
the employment Of capital IN huge cor
porations and the wonderful strides of
this country toward leadership in the
international business world justify ar
urgent demand for the creation of such
a position. Substantially all the lead
ing commercial bodies In this country
have united in requesting It's creation.
II Is desirable that some such meas
ure as that which has already passed
the senate be enacted into law. The Gre
alton Of such a department would in It,
self be an advance toward dealing
with and exercising supervision over
the whole subject Of the great corpora
tions doing an interstate business; and
with this end In view, the Congress
should endow the department with
large powers, which could be increased
as experience might show the need.

RECIPROCITY TREATIES.
Readjustment Of Tariffs Can be
Reached Through Them.

one way in which the REIMBURSEMENT
sought can be reached is by reciprocity
treaties II Is greatly 70 be desired that
such treaties may be adopted. They
can be used 10 widen our markets and
to give q greater field for the activities
of our producers on the one hand, ana
on the other hand to secure In practi-
cal shape the lowering OF duties when
they are no longer needed for protection
among our own people. or when the
minimum of damage done may be dis
regarded for the So Ike of the maximum
OF good accomplished II It prove Inn
possible to ratify he pending treaties
and If there seem 70 be no warrant for
the endeayor to execute Others, or 10
amend the pending, treaties so that thy
can be ratified, then the same end--to
secure reclprocty-should bel met by d.
rect legislation.
WHEN RECIPROCITY FAILS
Whenever the tariff conditions are
such that a needed change can not with
advantage be made By the application
of the reciprocity idea, then II can be
made outright by lowering Of duties
en- a given product II possible, such
change should be made only after the
fullest consideration by practical ex-
perts, who should approach the subject
from a business standpoint, having IN
view both the particular interests al
fected and the commercial well-being OF
the people as whole. The machinery
for providing such careful investga-
ton can readily be supplied.
A TARIFF COMMISSION.
The executive department has already
at its disposal methods OF collecting
facts and figures; and II the
Congress desires additional consider
alton to that which will be given
the subject by its own committees, then
commission of business experts can
he appointed whose duty II should be
to recommend action by the Congress
after deliberate and scientific exam
animation of the various schedules as
they are affected by the changed and
changing conditions. The unhurried
and unbiased report OF this commits
sion would show what changes should
he made In the various schedules, and
how far these changes could go without
also changing the great proseprity
Which this country Is now 2tiryi e. OF
| upsetting its fixed economic policy
TARIFF PRODUCES FEW MONO
POLES.
The cases in which the tariff can
produce monopoly are so few as to
constitute an inconsiderable factor IN
the question; but of course If In any
case II be found that a given rate OF
duty does promote n monopoly which
works Ill., no protectionlst would OBJ
ject to such reduction Of the duty as
would equalize competition.
SHOULD REDUCE TARIFF ON AN
THRACITE.
In my judgment, the tariff on anthra-
cite coal should be removed, and an.
thraclte put actually, where Il now Is
nomlnally, on the free list. This would
have no effect at all save in crises; but
in crises It might be Of service TO the
people.

Ogden. Dec. IA bold and successful
holdup was perpetrated by two knlgh's
OF the road al Ryndon, a small station

pears that about rs workmen had con-

those present to point their hands to-
ward the ceiling and do as they were
told and all would be well WI IN them.
The men did as requested, when they
were lined up In row. the bartender

then went through their pockets ana
succeeded in purlolning therefrom the
snug little sum or AiVV IN CASH. Inc
robbers then babe their victims pleas
ant good evening, and took their de-

Ii is believed that the holdups took the
train which passed the station shorty
after the robbery and headed for ogden
and the officers here are on the loon

which the work was done indicates that
the men are adopts at the business.
