upon keeping up things that are worn
out or out of date. This holds good
in the matter Of roads, in fact is more
true along this line than any other
that may be called to mind. The
actual expense of bad roads is enor-
nous, and the citizens of any county
can not afford to carry the burden.
instead OF good roads being burden
it is the bad roads that are expensive.
The first outlay for good roads looks
terrific to the average man whose
possessions in dollars may be counted
with three figures, but the sums OF
money spent in patchwork on bad
roads in few years time more than
equals the cost of establishing good
roads. The wear and tear on vehicles

A novel Plan.

Providence. Dec. l3, 1903-EDITOR
REPUBLICAN, heartily agree with
your article in The REPUBLICAN Of
the 18th, upon the great necessity of
betters system of grading our county
roads If IL is left to the horse and
wagon system it will never be done
There are thousands of dollars wasted
every year and very little accomplish
ed. Why not adopt some better sys-
TEN? With these awful taxes some
thing ought to be done. There is any
amount of gravel in easy access for
this purpose and an easy down grade
to the roads where it is needed. Why
not buy some cheap light rails, con-
struct light trucks and lay track.
The loaded trucks would run down
themselves and when empty could
easily bc drawn back either by horses
or dummy engine. ! worked on such
grade when boy and could easily
lift one of the rails Is feet long. l be-
lieve that II some such system was
adopted and one road graded at time,
in five years there might be good roads
between Logan and all the settlements
in Cache county. or course there
would be quite an OUTLAY In the begin
ming, but not near what is wasted in
the way the work is done now. l have
seen three horses pull six empty trucks
back up sleeper grade than the,
would do here; now it takes one mar
and two horses to every load of grave
that is placed on these roads. Their,
could be five times as much grave
hauled for the same money by the raj
system. HENRY BULLOCK,

For Good Roads.

EDITOR REPUBLICAN. The key note
was struck in your last issue referring
to our county roads. Improvement
OF our roads" should be the slogan
throughout the county. This matter
has been neglected and has received
so little attention, that ! venture to
say there is one-half of the people who
know nothing about the recourscS the
county has to maintain our county
roads. Owing to constitutional pro-
vision of our state ali cities and town S
have the control of their poll tax

exclusively within their corporate
limits. Between Logan and Wcllsville
there is a road nearly ten miles in
length and the poll tax of College
ward to keep it up. Between Logan
and Hyrum there is no poll tax at the
command of the commissioners be-
cause all of the intervening places are
Incorporated. From Logan to the
Idaho line in the north, distance Of
twenty miles. there are only two small
burgs that can be called upon to work
on the main road and these are Hyde
Park and Cove. This Is the condi-
tion in other parts of the county, and
the people can readily see what they
may expect in the improvement Of
roads while there is nothing more to
draw from.
The question naturally arises,
"what is to be done?" AS you re-
marked in your last issue, other things
should be layed aside and the road
question looked into. Abolish some
OF these lavish expenditures which
have been made by the legislature
and lay road tax of two mills, which
would bring to this county about ten
or twelve thousand dollars each year
for roads. | do not mean to raise the
peoples taxes, they are high enough,
but cut other taxes some and levy the
road tax in the place of them. When
this is done, get the best man in the
country to spend the money. Get a
dummy engine with suitable cars and
trackage and build up one section at a
time to an established grade. DO
away with these lumber bridges and
culverts which are consuming thou
sands of dollars each year-use piping,
where it is possible, for crossings.
The city and county should join in
the purchase of rock crusher to
crush rock for the covering of all
roads, 1t has been demonstrated
years ago that roads cannot be kept
in shape with round stones as cover
ing. They will work and move, hence
the roads become cuppy and hold the
water. Men in other parts of the
country should take up this question,
agitate it and insist that something
be done. Above all things let us
stand by the commissioners in what
ever they do for the improvement of
our roads, and thereby hasten the day
when this county will cease to be the
object of ridiculc on account of bad
roads. These suggestions are offered
merely to call the attention Of the
people to that which is most needed
at the present time, and If possible
help to create sentiment in favor of
prompt action i'm the matter. ~

THIS COUNTRY AND PANAMA CANAL
Not Undue Haste, but Due Haste, Has Been
Shown
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The mastery presentation OF the Panama
Canal question by the President in his recent
message is an able, legal and statesmanlike doc
urrent which will commend the justice Of our
action 10 the chancelleries OF Europe and Asia,
and lead them to join in demand for an
tnteroceanic canal for the common benefit Of all
countries and OF future generations. All sailing
vessels and steamers on their weary ocean voy
ages will forever bless the President and the
United States for saving them thousands Of
miles of unnecessary ocean travel.
The President is criticised for too speedy
ton, but this criticism is nothing compared to
the Niagara Of maledictions which would have
been poured on him and the Republican party II
we had failed 10 seize the golden opportunity

open for settlement after the war which can as
well be settled before or without any WARP
II we do not give the world the inesti-
mable boon Of the Panama canal, we will de-
serve as well receive not only the reproaches

Salt Lake City Dec. 2s--In reply to Angus NJ
Cannon, a prominent official OF the Mormon Church
Who in the course OF an address in the Tabernacle
On Sunday said that the Utah Fuel Company
wanted TO hire several hundred TO take the
place Of striking miners In Carbon County. and ad
vised young Mormons who had previous experience
in mining to accept these places C. Keliher ma
uonal organizer OF the United Mine Workers Of
America, has issued an address to organized labor
In Utah in which he characterizes the Mormon
Church as an enemy to organized labor. and says:
Union men must be aroused to the true situation
and defend themselves, and appeal TO national labor
organizations throughout America to assist in IN
seating Senator Reed SmoOt, who is a member Of
the controlling board of this Church. and who
would be dangerous foe 10 labor in Congress.
Kelliher has also sent a telegram to John Mitchell
president Of the United Mine Workers. in which he
states that the Mormon Church has openly declared
war on organized labor in Utah, and suggests that
in self-defence united labor should do all in its
power to prevent the seating Of Senator Srnoot. as

Washington. Dec. Ex-senator Burrows chairman
OF the Senate Committee Privileges and Elec-
lions. which Is conducting the investigation OF the
charges against Senator Reed SmOot, of Utah. said
to-day that the committee probably would meet
Saturday January 8. for the continuation OF the
inquiry While Senator Burrows has received no
notification from Senator Smoot he thinks it proba-
BILE that the reply OF the latter to the charges
against him will be ready by the time mentioned
Senator Burrows would make forecast OF the
proceedings OF the committee All depended he
said. upon the nature OF the response Before going
TO Salt Lake City Mr.. Smoot said that he probably
would deny some CT the charges and admit others
but nothing regarding his course has been heard
since the adjournment of Congress for the holidays.
IF Mr.. Shoots denial is such to challenge the
authenticity OF the information upon which the
accusations are based it is the opinion OF some OF
the members OF the committee that the authors
Of the charges will be called upon to prove them.
and IN that event there probably would be gen.
eral investigation into the present day practice Of
the Mormon church with reference both to marriage
and politics. The committee has. however. reached
conclusion looking to such a course. and Chair
its probability. II Senator Smoot should admit the
charges as a whole. which is not considered proba-
BILE there would then be nothing left for the com
mttee but to consider the legal aspect OF the
and decide whether the facts alleged disqualfy
man for g seat in the Senate.

be before the committee for some time.
