increase of some 81, 200, 600 in the
taxable value of the big producers.
These mines turn out from thirteen

To make the King river of GEN.
trail California pump its own water
is the interesting plan presented by
j. b. Lippincott, resident hydrogra-
pher of the United States geological
survey, who recently investig ated
the possibility of increasing the use
OF that stream for irrigation and
other purposes. The manner in
which this is to be done is not given,
and that is the most important part,
as it might be applied to other
streams. 1t seems that a simple
idea could be applied to Snake river.
We would confne the river between
shore walls of masonry at the proper
point. Concrete piers would sup
port an imminse paddle wheel built
on the style of the stern wheel of
steamer. This could be of immense
length, if necessary to secure power.
On the piers simple appliances could
be placed, where the center shaft of
the wheel rested, to raise or lower it
with the rise and fall of the river
and hoist it out of reach of ice.
1t is an easy engineering feat and
sufficient power could be generated
at moderate cost to raise water ont
of the river all over the magnificent
Dead Ok Flat. The trouble is that
ideas and funds to carry them out
do not 60 together.

Iowa republicans have been fight

One element favoring its retention
and the other demanding that it be
dropped. The latter are the more
honest. The plank means no more
than has republican bimetallic
planks and they might as we'll come

CoNTUMACIous CRITcIsM.

There's new crime in the adj
ministration decalogue. 1t is
known as ''contumacious criticism.
This is gathered from the summing
up of the charges in the late Per.
rault case. In the order for the be.
heading of Joe it was stated that
there was nothing wrong in his Office,
absolutely no fault to be found with
the work, and the order was based
solely upon the ground of .contuma-
cious criticism. We take it that at
some time Mr.. Perrault expressed
dissent at some step taken by the
administration. This kind of work
is evidently sort of political lese
majestic which calls for the official
guillotine. There's nothing more eff
fective, the party authorities seem to
think, in continuing an iron hold on
power than the rigid enforcement of
the law of contumacious criticism.
Whip them in, yoke up the party
subjects, and if one of them opens
his mouth to discredit single act Of
OF the party autocrats, knock him
down with the club of contumacious
criticisml Hold the reins tight and
allow no servile subject to question
the proceedings of those in power !
This new and rigid rule is being ap-
piled with firm hand and it will
evidently be sought to fill in by
fear any gaps left in the picket line
OF respect. A young Washington
lady is the latest victim to the new
crime, and recent dispatches say:
Rebecca Taylor, the war department
clerk dismissed for criticising President
Roosevelt. has brought suit of piandamus
tooay tocompel Secretary Root to reinstate
ier. In statement to the press she al.
ieees ieI oolect In bringing the suit Is to
defend the right of free speech.
That the young lady has sufficient
brains in her head to qualify her to
crltlclse the President is shown bv
the vigorous and admirable manner
IN which she defends her side of the
case. Miss Taylor maintains:
IL cannot be possible that officials such
AS one oil the civil service Commission
ers, may be permitted to make public
actresses In advocacy of the so-called
rnlapines policy, and an humbler-em-
pioyee OF the service like myself denied
.he right Oh publicly opposing that same
pohcy' III these distinctions are TO be
permitted, is 1t not clear that an admin
istration may practically use the whole
force OF civil service employees TO
strengthen its position of power either
oy converting them into active exponents
and supporters OF its policies or negatively
ov silencing every person among them
VINO is opposed 10 its policies?
A worthy and brave statement
that could only come from a com
petent and brainy girll But while
big men in Office can make big
public speeches, whooping it up in
justification of any act or policy OF

not give expression to her warm
womanly sentiments, except at the

SLANDER'S SCORCHING BREATH

The Salt Lake Tribune, which be-
longs to the republican newspaper
trust and is in charge of Perry S.
Heath, one of the most shameless
party henchmen of prominent posi-
ton, is trying to kill off the demo-
cratic party before the campaign
comes on and would prevent it from
having any planks. After splitting
all other possible planks into kin
ding wood, it does as every republl-
can Macbeth does-looks at the
corpse of silver and gets the trembles
for fear it will rise:
Would they again take up silver? The
East won't listen to it-and even the
South is getting tired.
1t must be &C mitted that pre-
concerted business conspiracy is be-
ing wormed through all walks of life
In the east to keep them from ''lst-
ening" to silver. The moment YOU
cross the Mississippi, you eau ,see
the workings of the general plan.
Horror of silver is being drilled into
the public so Systematically and per-
sistently that one must involuntarily
admire the cunning, though evil,
that can have its subtle plans so well
carried out. To illustrate in prac-
tical way, to the people, the desir-
ability of bank control of government,
and to keep the peoples minds off
silver and to prove the uselessness
of the vile stuff, millions of small
bills are showed over the country
cart loads Of them, like so much baled
hay-makes man think he has wad
of money when he has Elk or seven
of them, though they are nuisance
and any half dozen of them are more
trouble than as many good, round
silver dollars to a barbarian who is
used to real money and has no more
modern notions than the rupee saw
age of India or the yen worshipper
of China, And, to clinch the public
mind in the mould of discredited
white metal and a controlled and
single standard yellow metal, every
little dried up, hatchet-head clerk
scrapes and apologies and is sorry
and begs your pardon for the un-
fortunate condition of the ''change"
office which compels him to hand
you silver dollar along with the
three one dollar bills he gives you af-
ter you have made dollar purchase
and handed HIM flyer A persist
ent conspiracy on the part of an evil
crowd OF degenerstes could for a
time ruin the character of the most
divine and spotless lady in the land,
some insiduous remarks by the low,
a meaning shake of the head by those
next in the scale, whispered, subtle
campaign, few skirts drawn aside
by, shallow females caught by the
contagion, and character would
wither as would tender fern before
hot blast from the Mojave. But
the very purity of the victim would
De an angel weapon to finally dis
perse the hosts of evil In the same
