ADJUSTMENT OF SALARIES

There is no doubt but that an ad-
justment of salaries in Government
Offices is a necessity, and is matter
the Legislature should look into.
In most OF the departments salaries
arc fxsd for the "pst" man without
proper consideration OF the respon.
abilities carried or the value OF the
services. This has always been, and
still is, the case in the public works
department. from the top down
through all OF its branches. In the
Board Of Health mans value and
salary are determined by his standing
with the Rspub'ica central COM
mittee. In all departments this is
qualification Number l. Then there
are other equ,ily ab,urd qualifica-
tions. terminating at the bottom
with the one OF ability.
The bookkeeper OF ths public
works department draws 5000 a
month. This is not = large salsry,
but are the duties and responsibili-
ties OF the Office equal to its In de-
termining such a salary the CONNER
cial yard stick should be used. 1t
is fact that first class bookkeepers,
men OF vast experience, honor and
reputation 10 the community are
working for considerably less than
$2,400 q year. "a leader OF the Re-
publican central committee is pay
ing his .bookkeeper only $40 a
monthly There is no reason why
public money should be squandered
on a scale OF wages far above that
paid by the business community.
This bookkeeper works from
8 a. m. TO 4p IN. These are
easy hours, and the work is peit her
intricate nor arduous. Ths keeper
OF the Nuuauu reservoirs is on duty
oil day aud frequently at night. He
knows no Sunday. His work is i'm
portaut and hard. He draws the
sum of $50 per m onth, or $3.50 less
in thirty days than the bo ,kkespsr.

HOW TO STOP LYNoHlNes.

I HE RATIONAL WAY Of preventing

by the administrative Of James billiard.
the negro who was lynched by a mob
in Sullivan county Indiana. some
months ago. She has filed a suit
against Sheriff Dudley in which she
claims $1,000 damages as a result Of his
failure TO protect his prisoner.
Accounts Of the lynching conveyed
the impression that Dudley made very
little effort to save billiards. life. The
fellow was taken away from him by the
mob after a resistance That was. at
most, decidedly feeble. tt would seem
that the Administrative should recover.
I'm all probability billiards. life wasn't
worth $1,000 or anything like so much
money but that does not enter strongly
into the case.

and south. that they must do their duty
or suffer the consequences.
1t is practically out Of the question
TO reach members Of mobs that so
out armed and masked to do murder.
They are usually made up OF 'prOmi-
nent citizens" who are carefully protect
ed by the sentiment Of their commu-
mites. Grand juries refuse to indict
them, courts decline TO punish them
and no recourse whatever is left to the
relatives and friends of the mob vic
tins.
Let Il once be settled as a principle
of law that the sheriffs or other officers
of the law who have prisoners in their
keeping are financially as well as NOR
ally and legally bound to protect them,
and we will have fewer lynchings for
the good and sufficient reason that

SOME FARMER VISITORS.

NEWS COMES from Berlin that forty
~ six German farmers. some of them
men Of considerable prominence, are
coming to this country TO learn how
to raise crops. With an due mOdesty
we feel impelled to say that they could
not find a better place. In the United
States farming has been reduced TO a
science. We raise big crops here with
greater regularity than any other ma
ton on earth.
A total crop failure in the United
States is a practical imposslbility. some
sections may have failures. or partial
failures, but there has never been a
time when all sections reported famine
years. More. there has never been
year that the United States was not
self-supportlng, and in recent years,
with more scientific methods in common
use, we have become known as the
granary Of the world
Agricultural products go from the
United States to nearly an nations.
We ship wheat and corn and rye and
barley and potatoes and nearly every
other staple crop by millions Of bushels
and yet there is more than enough left
TO feed the muluudes at home. Nor
have the agricultural possibilities Of the
United States been exhausted. The
story has not half been told.
The construction Of national irriga-
ton works in the west viii make mill
lions of acres Of arid land productive.
That means more wheat, more corn,
more staples of every character to feed
the hungry of this and other lands.
In the south are thousands Of acres Of
land which is not cultivated because
Of malarial and other diseases which
retard development there. Some day
a method Of successfully combating
these evils win be found and then the
south win add millions more to the ag-
ricultural wealth Of the country.
We hope the visitors from Germany
viii have an abundance Of time to
spend here. They are coming at seed
time; they should stay at least until
harvest. Every section Of the c0un-
try should be visited by them and
studied closely for In each they viii
find profitable suggestions TO take back
to the old country. We Of the west
would specially Ike TO have them spend
a few weeks or a few months with us.
We would ike to show them what ir-
rigation has done for the west and
what 1t has done for Utah, the pioneer
I'm the irrigation movement. 1t viii be
hard TO convince them that the smiling
valleys they VIII see here were. not
many years ago. sagebrush and grease
wood deserts: It win be hard to make
them understand that the soil was con-
quered. inch By inch. They viii see
only the glorious achievements. the ac-
complished facts, but the sight viii be
well worth the journey.

THE OBSTINATE EIGHT.

ONCE MORE the eight members of
~ the council who are opposed to the
continuance OF George A. Sheets I'm the
Office Of chief Of police, have interposed
TO prevent the payment to the patrol
men of the salaries they earned during
the month Of March. In any other city
on earth this would be a most astound-
ing action. To people who are un-
familiar with the caliber Of the eight
It passes belief
Those Of us who know something
about the mental weight Of COttreu,
Eardley and their henchmen are sur
prlsed at nothing they do. AS The
Herald pointed out on a somewhat sim
liar occasion, no principle Is involved In
the proposition 90 pay the patrolmen
the money and they are entitled TO it.
The Thomas resolution, voted down by
the witIess eight, set forth i'm distinct
and positive terms that the allowance
Of the payroll for the patrolmen in
volved no recognition whatever Of Mr..
Sheets as chief Of police.
Nevertheless. Councilman Fernstrom
affected TO see IN this a trick a fraud,
a pretense Of some kind. Plain Eng
lish IS plain English. Fernstrom does
not pay any marked tribute to his own
intelligence when he inferentally con-
fesses that he cannot understand It
and, falling TO understand, becomes
suspicious. With the kindliest Of feel
ings toward the statesman from the
Third we venture the opinion that sus-
picion in some cases becomes a confess
sion OF ignorance
However. this IS largely beside the
question. We cannot hope TO convince
Messrs. Cottreu. Eardley. Fernstrom ct
AL. that there is any honesty or any
patriotism in this world outside of their
immediate circle. We would like to
Impress upon them this fact: The la
borer is worthy Of his hire. We DO not
know whether the courts viii sustain
Sheets as chief Of police or not. and
We don't care a great deal. either The
city managed to get along without
Sheets for a time, and the chances are
that it could set along without him
again. Indeed, it win have to, sooner
or later for sooner or later Sheets will
go the way of all flesh.
That has no bearing on the contro-
versy in hand. Some of the patrolmen
need their money very badly. Several
are buying homes on the installment
plan. having borrowed money from
building and loan associations, Their
monthly instauments are due and they
cannot meet them without borrowing
money. which is always distastefuL It
is positively criminal to embarrass these
faithful servants OF the city. If the
obstinate eight would club together and
advance the policemen their money.
without interest charge Of any kind, we
should feel very much more kindly dis
posed toward them.
