IHE STATES PRED!CAMtNT

The amount of money necessary to
carry on the business Of the State
during the next two years is estimated
at Sl,S00,000. The money in sight
seems to be no more than 81, 10000
Just how to meet this unexpected
turn of affairs is troubling the Legis-
lature sorely. The appropriations
can be cut down, the regular tax levy
can be increased, or an income tax
may be imposed
Before definite and decided action is
taken by our lawmakers the matter
should and no doubt will receive care
full attention and thorough investi-
cation. While it may be possible that
the appropriations asked fer arc
rather high, it is doubtful If the leg
islators can do thorough justice when

From present indications, the char

From present indications, the chan
mel, or river beds, conveying the water
from the mountains through the
valley to Bear river will be tested to
their fullest capacity this season. This
will apply especially to Logan river.
In some places the banks will have to
be rip-rapped with brush and rock.
Could this not be done cheaper right
now than when the water commences
to rise? There are men and teams
doing practically nothing at the pres
ent time, in fact would be glad to get
work, whereas in the summer whef
high water is upon us, these men ant
teams will be elsewhere at work The
river bed is nearly dry now and ther,
are hundreds of loads of cobble rocl
that could be taken out aud PLACED
upon the banks, thus accomplishing
two purposes-that of Strengthening
the banks, and increasing the spac
in the channel. We merely offer thi
as suggestion, thinking that |
might result in good all around I
give little attention to this at once
We believe that money can be save
by so doing.

1t comes to cutting. That any Of our
public institutions should be cramped
or crippled on account of money is a
thing to be deplored. The A. c. is
asking for something like s143,OOO, and
while it might be possible to cut that
amount slightly, it is generally conced-
ed that that amount is actually need
ed to carry on the work and to make
such Improvements as are necessary
to the welfare of the school. The
University is asking for about $3.50, 600.
No doubt the school needs it and
Logan citizens want to see her get it
providing the State can stand it and
our own appropriation Is not cut.
Other institutions are asking for large
amounts, and here's hoping that some
way will be provided for them to get, it.
We know little of the true condi-
tions i'm the State as regards taxable
property compared with taxes turned
in. We do know this, and so does
every person who has read the daily
papers the past three years, that
Chicago was at one time practically
bankrupt. Taxes were high, and yet
there was no money to continue the
schools for more than six or seven
months. As a result the wages OF
more than thousand teachers were
cut in order to help the matter along
The teachers were dissatisfied and
asked permission to investigate condi-
tions. This was done, and it was
found that millions of dollars worth
of property belonging to corporations
was not on the tax list. They got an
order from the court that these be
placed on the list by the assessors.
The matter was fought by the great
est lawyers i'm the land, but the Su-
preme Court of Illinois gave the de-
cision to the teachers. The final
result was that the salaries of the
teachers were placed as formerly and
the schools have been run ten months
each year since that time.
Might try that in this state-slap
the teachers and then turn the mat
ter over to them for investigation.

and is keeping a jealous eye on the
work of the committee. He under

as well as for roads and bridges.
Roberts Is rustler, and is doing all
that any man In bis position can do.
His voice has been heard on most
every question before the House, and
