throughout the city and the surrounding coun-

The beet sugar industry is large in Utah. and
has been largely increased by improved means
of irrigation. 1t owes its origin to the Mormon
Church. and the first sugar factory OF this
region built by subscriptions from Nor
mons through the efforts of President Wilford
Woodruff. The Utah Sugar Company, which
buys all the sugar beets raised in the Great
Salt Lake Basin, and which produces annually
twenty-five million pounds of sugar from its
main factory. has paid back to its stockholders
all of their original investments and is now
paying annually II per cent cash dividend
The farmer that finds among the Utah
mountains is far better educated and more re-
fined in appearance than the average rural
dweller of the United States, for the reason that
he has emigrated thither in most cases from the
city and has been accustomed to the Hberal1zfng
influences of urban life. The Mormon leaders,
anxious to spread the scope of their religion are
continually examining new regions learning now
they can be reclaimed by irrigation, and then
moving thither whole colonies from the more
densely populated centres. These settlers adhere
strictly to the cooperative idea They use an
irrigation ditch together. They buy their gro
ceries and agricultural implements from a CO.
operative store and each gives his tithe. or one
tenth. of his products TO the support OF the
Church.
In this way the Mormons are creating wealth
where before their coming there were supposed

Mr.. Miller points out that the chief factor
Of the Mormons' financial success is their sys-
tenn of cooperation in business. Every i'm
portant commercial undertaking in Utah first
proves its allegiance to the church, and then
in return obtains the loyal patronage of,<fts
members. Leading officers in the church are
made officers in the commercial enterprises,
whose hackers desire the patronage Of its COM
municants. These men do not have active
direction in the affairs Of these companies but
they lend these undertakings a powerful sup
port. Joseph F. Smith, the present head of the
Church of Latter Day Saints, is also the presi-
dent of such industrial concerns as the Utah
Light and Power Company. the lions Savings
Bank and Trust Company, the State Bank of
Utah the Inland Crystal Salt Company. the
Utah Sugar Company. the Consolidated Wagon
and Machine Company, and the Zion Co-opera-
tive Mercantile Institution Some of these in
stitutions are emnently successful from a bust
ness point of view and inasmuch as a good
Mormon gives one-tenth Of his profits to the
church the total revenue flowing into its treas
