HOW TO FIGHT A TRUST.

The New York World has n sugges-
ton similar to that made by the
News" on Monday in regard to the
proper method Of lighting the Beef
trust, II Is practical, and IL would
be effective. The people have 1t In
their power to change their diet. and
limit the consumption OF any one ar
ticle Of food. The World says:
1T is springtime. when authorities
on health agree in saying that 1t is
wise to eat meat sparingly. There is
a long list of palatable and nutritious
substitutes for beef, mutton and pork,
and the procession Of the fruits--the
natural suncooked food Of man
Is about 20 start.
What If the people or even a half
OF them, should Just take a notion TO
make the spring experiment OF drop
ping meat out OF their diet for only
short tme--say for fortnight
THE Beef Trusts loss on spoiled
stock would be reokoned in millions.
A reduction OF one-half in retail meat
sales IN all our large cities kept up for
q month would utterly crush the COM
bine and give the people meat at the
prices Of an unmonopolized market
The idea is worthy OF consideration.
Trusts may be powerful. But the
people are more powerful still, If they
only would adopt the right course in
dealing with the problems created by
the combinations that speculate
against them.

WINTER WHEAT.

According TO a report Of the agricul-
tural department the general condition
Of winter wheat Is not quite as good
as It might be. The average condition
for this lime OF the year, for ten years,
is designated as S2,4,but this years con-
dillon is only 7S.6. Michigan and Texas
show a more luxuriant growth than at
this time last year. while there are de-
fciencies in Kansas, Oklahoma and
Tennessee.
Farmers are said to be preparing to
plant very large corn area, In the hope
of recovering the loss in that cereal
last year. Some wheat fields VIII be de-
voted to other crops, but new wheat
farms are taken by settlers. The pros
poets for plenty Of breadstuff are re-
garded as encouraging as far as can be
judged at this date.

NEVER "IN FACT IN"

"a denial is made that one OF the
companies has drawn out Of the pro-
posed canal combine with the city for
the pumping of water from Utah Lake.
That Is queer. There were four COM
panies In the agreement as ratified by
the council in the first place; there are
but three In the new proposition II
none has drawn out. whence the loss?
Or II the one that Is now missing was
not really In on the combine in the
first place, why was II put in? The
change In the agreement whereby
three companies are now carried in
place Of four. makes necessary a new
start; but this would not be necessary
il there had been no change. Why was
the North Point Canal company put In
II Il was not IN fact In? Was II to
give an appearance OF unanlmity that
did not In truth exlst?'
The foregoing is taken from the edl-
torlal columns OF the Salt Lake Trib-
une. The "denal" spoken Of appeared
in the Deseret News on Tuesday even
ing. II was stated that the North Jor-
dan Canal company had not drawn
OUT Of the proposed combine with the
city, because II had never been In H.
The matter was fully explained. When
the proposition was made TO the City
Council II was supposed that the four
canal companies. mutually interested
in the water supply from Utah Lake
through the Jordan, would willingly
join IN the pumping project on the con-
ditions agreed to by the committee. II
was learned afterwards that the COM
pany named would not join with the
others, for reasons which were speci-
fed. The remaining three companies
then proposed to bear the additional
part of the expense, so as TO meet the
amount required by the City Council.
TO this the council has agreed The
North Jordan Canal company is out Of
Il because II was never in II. We
should think that Is plain enough even
for the writer who muddes up matters
so fearfully In the columns OF our
morning contemporary
He asks, why was the North Point
Canal company put IN II It was not in
fact in?" The answer ls, the North |
Point Canal company was not and is
not nor is Il ever likely to DE I'm fact
in," for Il has not the remotest con-
nection with the project In any shape,
form or pretense The North Point
Canal company has never been alud-
ed to In association with the question
before the City Council. and the men,
ton Of II will cause as broad a smile
Of derision at the Tribune writer, as
the legal opinion Of the City Attorney,
which accompanied the Mayors veto
has occasioned among the thinking
portion Of the people in this city and
county, That writer had better take a
lesson from some schoolboy In Salt
Lake county geography.
