Dallas will pay a lower water
rate than any other town on the
Pacific Coast. The total cost of 40
fire hydrants will be only $50 per
month. With taxable property to
the amount Of 100000 this year,
a levy of 2 mills will pay the water
bill. The wealth Of the city is
rapidly increasing, and as the sink
ing fund will soon be yielding a
neat interest, the rate of the levy
should rapidly grow smaller. II
the city had not been forced to
issue additional bonds to the
amount of $4,000 in securing a
right-of-way, the levy this year
would have been only l 3-5 mills.

A Testimonial.

Knowing DR.. E. E. Jackson, V. S.,
of Salem, I would recommend him to
anyone needing veterinary surgeon,
as he has treated my horses for the
past year with the best of success. I
have seen cases that he has handled
that were very critical ones that he
brought through with his skillful
treatment and knowledge. The people
of Dallas often need such a man.
Give him a trial and say the same as
I do.

high order of excellence. The violin
solos of little Miss Torgerson were
alone worth the price Of admission.

The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1904-08-20

The tariff reformers at various times
have been agitated by what they call
the copper trust. Finally they discov-
that copper ore is on the free list and
most of them ceased to use this parti-
ocular illustration, though they sill
proclaim that the tariff is the mother
OF trusts, thus conveniently forget
ting OF course that il this is true, then
in this case vi the copper trust we
have a creature that comes into the
world without a mother. At the
same time they might explain the
window glass business. IL is true
that there is company that the
newspapers speak of as the window
glass trust, but this company lacks so
much of being a monopoly that the
competition has been of the keenest
sort for years. And yet in the Nc
Kinley law and in the Wilson-Gor-
man law and in the Dingley law the
duty on window glass has been very
high. Notwithstanding this it has
been impossible to form a trust or
combination of any sort that would
prevent the livellest of competition.
Here are two cold facts of more than
ordinary Importance in the business
world that ought to be known to
everybody facts that, standing
alone, are sufficient to take the pith
out of the theory that the tariff is the
mother of trusts. And these are but
two of numerous facts, all giving the
direct lie to this tariff theory. But
what has the tariff reformer to do
with facts?
The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1904-08-20

When THE REPUBLICAN made the
statement that IL could see no objec-
ton to the Mailer franchise, the word
serious was left out by the typogra-
pher. We did have in mind two
changes we believed might be we'll
first that the franchise, If it was for a
franchise between Logan and Payson,
should so state: second that If it was
meant that the Logan part OF 1t
should be in operation within three
years, IL should so state. The RE.
PUBLICAN did not offer these objec-
tions for the reason that we knew Mr..
Mailer and the committee had already
agreed on these two points fairly well.
The REPUBLICAN also knew that GER
tain other considerations had been
granted, which while they seemed I'M
necessary to us, were deemed import
ant by others: in fact all the changes
really asked for, with the possible ex-
ception of the 100 year idea, were
agreed to. The REPUBLICAN knew
the ground for objection and the basis
Of the protesting petition was largely
removed. Knew also that many sign
ers of petitions freely give their
names without due consideration,
hence suggested that opposition which
came from citizens without sufficient
interest to go to the city hall and
there express their opposition on this
matter all deem SO important was
hardly worthy Of serious consideration.
Expression of some of the signers of
that protest prove that The REPUB-
LEANS stand was right.

ing contrast to the Republicans,
President Roosevelt has substantially
a united party supporting him.
There are, of course, shades of opinion
in the Republican party as regards
the tariff. as regards the regulation OF
the corporations, and as regards the
government of the Philippines, as well
as regards other questions, but these
differences are not radical, and they
do not present the party solidification
which is necessary fol governmental
action. But, in electing Parker, the
people of the United States would run
all the hazards involved in turning
over the government to a party divid-
ed widely in regard to its principles
and its aims containing irreconcilable
elements, and having no settled policy.
party, moreover, which In the past
eight years has been under the control
first Of one element, and then Of an
other element within it, We make
this statement not because of any par
tisan prejudice against the Democrat
ic party, but simply as statement of
a self.evident fact. If that party had
a consistent policy that was supported
by the great mass of its members, it
would be entitled TO respect and conf
dence. At present the more conserv-
alive element of the party has control
of 1t, and IL has nominated an emf
nent jurist as candidate for the presi-
dency. But what guarantee Is there
1t will be able to retain control of it,
or that if Judge Parker is elected he
will be able to keep the party in line
for those policies which are essential
for a continuance of our business
prosperity? This is a question which
many of our business men are asking.
Many of them would, no doubt, be
glad to vote the Democratic ticket,
and yet they are fearful of the discor-
dant, widely inconsistent elements
making up the organization that is
back OF Judge Parker, and it may be
added that they are also fearful Of
some of the political leaders by whom
Judge Parker has been so long sur
rounded.

first. Last, Always.

The Republican party stands by the
old original doctrine of the fathers, the
doctrine of those who framed the Con-
stitution and put it into operation,
guiding the nation wisely and safely
through the dangerous days of its
early career-the doctrine advocated
by every President from Washington
to Jackson, that is, by George Wash
ington, by John Adams, by Thomas
jefferson, by James Madison, by
James Monroe, by John Quincy
Adams, and by Andrew Jackson.
During those early days the way in
which Protection could best be given
through duties on imports was not as
well understood as it is today after a
century of experience, but the pur-
pose of the father was clearly defined
and repeatedly enunciated.
The Republican party has always
stood for adequate Protection to the
industrial interests Of the entire
country. 1t stands for a policy that
is national, not sectional in its scope
and operation.
The Republican party was born to
present organized opposition to the
extention of human slavery; so, as was
to be expected, there was no mention
of the Tariff in its first national plat
form-that of 1856. But in the Re-
publican national platform of 1860,
the platform on which Abraham Lin
coin was first elected President, was
the following plank"
Resolved, That while providing
revenue for the support of the Gener-
al Government by duties on imports,
sound policy requires such an adjust

ment of these imports as to encourage
the development of the industrial in
terests of the whole country; and we
commend that policy of national ex-
changes which secures to the working
men liberal wages, to agriculture re-
munerative prices, to mechanics and
manufacturers an adequate reward
for their skill, labor, and enterprises,
and to the nation commercial prosper
ity and independence.
Thus IL will be seen that the first
Republican platform and the last
Republican platform on this subject
are entirely consistent with each
other. and examination will show
that all the intervening national Re-
publican platforms are similarly con-
sistent

IS PARKER STRONG?

A recent issue of the Wall Street
Journal Of New, York, one of the
most conservative financial papers in
the country, contained the following:
1.-The danger involved in the election
of Judge Parker lies not so much in
Parker himself, or in any uncertainty
as regards the gold standard. as in the
men who may surround Judge Parker
and in the elements which compose
the party behind him. In this respect

ment it is an easy matter to secure
signers 10 petitions. Inquiry in re-
gard to the signers of the protest
against the Mailer franchise proves
that some did sign it without under
standing the import of the protest,
and even on Thursday morning one
very capable gentleman asked us what
the protest really contained. He had
signed it merely because he had been
asked to, and without inquiring into
the real nature of the protest.

The public which goes TO these So
called amusements of sporting events
in which men take exceptional risks
TO life and limb to secure favor, is TO
be held responsible in a great measure
for the life that is occasionally given
up. But for public favor and notorie-
ty gained through the press these
men would not take such risks and it
is to the disgrace of the American
people that their strenuosity and de-
sire for the sensational demands such
sacrifice. IL would seem that sufiic-
lent pleasure and diversion might be
secured from other amusements than
looping the loop, high diving, high
trapeze performances and such like.

is one that might easily be true in
any town of our State 50 far as young
girls are concerned. For It is unhap-
PLY the fact that many gir's are great
ly given to seeking the Iotice Of pre-
sentable strangers through inviting
smiles and glances directed their way.
Most of them are taught better, all
OF them know better, but for all their
teaching and their knowledge, few Of
them are aware of the risks they run.
They are filed with the natural love
of admiration; they have the Joyous,
mischievous spirit of youth, with en-
tire confidence in themselves, and for
the most part are free from the
thought of real evil. They know they
are doing wrong, but are too innocent
and ignorant to know how wrong or
where their act may lead them.
The censorious who see their beha-
vior will not believe them innocent;
the strangers whose attention they
challenge will doubt them and NAV
lead them on until their eyes are
opened and they are shamed or until
their steps can never more return.
At the least, street fllrtations are
wrong and lowering to self-respect.
No girl can indulge in them and think
well of herself.

FLIRTING.

The story is told of a travelling man
In another state, who, when smiled
upon coyly by pretty girl, promptly
responded to her advances, made her
acquaintance and asked to be taken
to her home. To this she consented
reluctantly. Having been introduc-
ed to the mother the stranger explain
ed his presence to the lady by telling
her that he had brought her daughter
home, as he wish some man to do with
his own daughter under the circum-
stances, IN order that she, the mother,
might teach her the danger of fiirt-
ing.

The Light Plant.

People and institutions not for the
city lighting system are certainly
against it. Whatever may have been
the belief as to whether the plant
should have been built, il is here a
fact at the present time and at the
expenditure of SS5, 200 of the peoples
money. That plant can be made a
revenue producer for the city If the
people supportit, and if that system
is not supported the taxpayers are out
their $500 Fully three-fourths, If
not four.ffths, Of the citizens are sup
porting the city plant Loyalty. The
other one fourth by its refusal to sup
port the city plant refuses to protect
that $4,000. They indicate that they
want that plant to be a failure and
that $4,000 a loss. In refusing to
patronize the city plant and patroniz-
ing a rival institution, they make 1t
possible for that rival to carry on a
competition in every way detrimental
to the success of the city plant. This
one-fourth minority in this way in
lures the three-fourths majority
Since this is true, what IS the reason
able business move OF that majority?
To support that one-fourth opposi-
ton? Certainly not. Friendship be-
gets friendship, unfricndliness begets
unfriendliness. Let the one. fourth
opposition feel the unfriendliness of
the three-fourths and there may be a
change. The Logan City light plant
MUST be made success; the people
can not afford to let it languish and
should not hesitate to use any legiti-
mate means to bring to IL the united
support 1t has right to expect and
must have in order to be a success.
The longer the support Of certain in
fluences go to the rival of the city
plant, just so long will that rival see
hope of winning and remain In the
field to the disadvantage of the city
proposition. That hope is a forlorn
one, and we can not but believe they
would be glad to have it demonstrate
ed at once II tits to be. If you are
supporting the city plant by your pat
ronage, give 1t greater support by re-
fusing its enemies your support. This
Is straight business principle.
