Judge Lester at the Helm.

At the republican central committee
meeting In this CITY Saturday, it was
deemed expedient for Otis Lorton to
resign the secretaryship and Judge H.
n. Lester was elected. We understand
the Judge has arranged to maintain
q modernly equipped Office in town and
will be here most OF time to conduct
the campaign. 1t Is also stated that it
is salaried Office with perquisites and
that the new secretary will not lack for
funds and incldentals to make it red
hot from now until the polls close. We
wish him good time, but success-nlt!

Or. Stout asks the Index to say that
his dismissal from the pension beard
leaves no sore spots on HIM and he es-
pecially desires it to be understood that
no censure shall attach to the G.. A. R.
boys of this Post on account Of it. He
has personal knowledge of the fact that
he was not dismissed on their account.
Most Of them protested against it. 1t
was at their solicitation that he con-
sented to accept it, and his discharge is
more OF slap at them than it is at the
Doctor himself. The old soldiers make
no secret of it in saying that DR.. Stout
was the best secretary the Board at this
place ever had and they are not at all
satisfied that the powers that be have
discharged him for the single reason
that he Is democrat.

A False Hypothesis.

An article on the consolidation oS
harvesting machine plants, headed -
Benefit to Farmers" has recently ae-
peared on the ready print side of tho
Kansas weekly newspapers, which IL
pregnant with false assumptions auE
misleading theories and conclusions
The Index was caught with the ar
ticle last week and we have writteu
our patent house concerning it. We
hope our columns will not be defitsS
with such rot again and that hereafteC
we will get the kind Of reading mattee
we order and pay for.
The article in question says that b.
cause of the consolidation of the Mo
Cormick, Deerlng. Milwaukee, Cham
pion andPlano plants the leading planez
in the world, machines will be sold move
reasonably. Nothing could be farthec
from the truth. The very opposite Is
true. All consultations of corpora
tions into powerful trust is for The
purpose of destroying competition aud
controlling prices. This trust will hs
able under this consolidation to mazet
facture its machines much che&gxE
than formerly, and while it is pOssNsNs
that it may for short time SET =.
little cheaper in order to absorb s1ASl
independent concerns, 1t will only be 4
question of time when this concern
will be exacting tribute from the farm
ers greater than any of the companies
did before the consolidation was effect
ed.
1t requires no production of figures te
prove that the actual cost of a machine
to the manufacturer IS trifle compared
with the price the consumer pays. That
much is conceded by trust admirers
and no figures are required to establish
that fact. And no man who has any
degree Of pride for his intelligence wiz
deny that machines sell in England
and other parts of Europe for great
deal less money than they do in this
country for the reason that the COM
panies must compete there in the opex
markets of the world, while here ther
are aided In exacting high prices tron
the farmer by protective tariff, the
steel trust combine and class legisla-
tion in general.
The true solution, then,is not consoi-
idation. That only adds to the fury OF
the flames. What the farmers need to
protect themselves against these gi.
gantic combines is an open market.
abOlishment of class legislation, de-
structlon of private monopoly, and the
quicker he begins to vote that way the
better for his bank account.
Articles like this are for the express
purpose of deceiving. AS We stated
before, we hope it is the last of It's kind
that our patent house will inflict

company. who are stopping at the
Knutsford, spent this morning In visit
ing the local banking institutions, and
talking with cashiers They are prime
movers In the suburban railway pro-
ject In this country, and Mr.. Pitcher
remarked to a News reporter this
noon that surveyors would begin active
operations Monday morning next, In the
move which ere long will bring large
territory into direct connection with
and tributary to this city
Mr. Pitcher Is enthusiastic In the
matter OF coming local development,
and says that the people of this county
have not realized the immense advan-
tages 10 be derived from suburban
traffic He says the eastern people are
sizing up such opportunities and are
making all the way up to 800 per cent.
There Is no reason why the same con-
ditiI1s should not obtain In Salt Lake
county, and they will obtain as soon as
the suburban can get It's rails down
connecting Salt Lake City with the
outlying towns, and with its freight
franchise bring immense amounts Of
small freights into this city. Then pas
senger traffic will be strongly encour-
aged, and the prices of suburban real
estate will receive an impetus, A
Short Line Official in commenting on
this later, remarked that this imme-
dlate country had become too large for
two roads, and others would certainly
come In here.
