THE NEW FREIGHT RATES.

= WO THINGS ARE WORTH noting
in connection with the Commercial
clubs successful effort to secure
q readjustment of rates on GER
tain classes of freight into Salt
Lake One point is the value
of intelligent effort through a business
organization; the other is the demon
stration of the fact that the railroad
companies are more willing to meet
shippers half way when the negotis-
tions are conducted in an amicable
way.
When this rate question was first
taken up by the clubs committee on
transportation, "a majority of the mem
be.s were in favor of a fight by legal
methods TO compel, if possible. the
Concessions desired. The chairman OF
the committee, J. Z. Gallagher. and
Senator Simon Bamberger, who was
member OF the committee, asked for a
ConciIiatory policy, both declaring that
more could be won by friendly presen-
tation of the facts IN the case than by
hostility and litigation.
The chairman was given time to
prove his belief that the railroads
would be ready to grant changes in
the tariff if it were shown that the
shippers were entitled to il, and he has
won. The concessions made are sub
stantial and affect articles of such gen.
eral use as TO insure heavy saving to
the consumers of the city and regions
contiguous.
The readjustment involved so much
in fits relations to other points
and connecting lines that it must
have been a difficult matter for
Mr.. Schumacher, the traffic man
ager of the Short Line, to ar
range them His interest in the matter
and his ultimate success deserves the
appreciation OF the business commun-
ity. AS for Mr.. Gallagher and the trans
portation committee. the Commercial
club owes them a vote of thanks for
their work; they have done much to
show that the organization is a neces-
sity in a business sense, entirely apart
from it's social value.

SAVINGS DEPOSITS.

THE BRITISH BOARD OF TRADE
1 has just issued a Blue Book which
contains some very interesting figures
relative TO the worlds savings ac-
counts. The politicians tell US that
the prosperity or lack of prosperity of
the common people is indicated by the
rise and fall in the savings bank
money deposited in savings banks is
placed there by people who toll with
their hands, but it is true that a con-
siderable proportion of it is in small
accounts.
According to the Blue Book the
world has been growing more prosper
Gus at a fairly rapid rate during the
last twenty years. The per capita saw
ings deposits in the United States in
creased from $3.50 in 1881 to s2e.47 in
1921 and to $34.S3 i'm 1901. In Great
Britain increase per capita was from
S11.50 in 1881 to s23.14 in 1901, a gain
of more than a hundred per cent and
a greater per capita gain than that of
the United States.
is the Russian showing. In 1881 the
Russian per capita was only about
four cents. In 1901 it was 1927. or
eighty-one times as much. II the
politicians are correct in their theory
then we should regard Russia as a
model country. The facts. however.
are against such a theory. The in
crease in the Russian savings deposits
is not going TO cause any great rush
OF emigrants to that land
The German empire seems to be
about at a standstill- The per capita
of S42. the greatest. by the way, OF any
power. was maintained throughout the
twenty years covered by the report.
Little Denmark stood at the top of
the list in 1901. with per capita of
1854. with New Zealand second with
S46.12. France increased her per
capita from $7.47 in 1881 TO $2272 in
1901. which is not bad at all.

THE OSLER AGE LIMIT.

TT Is DIFFICULT to believe that DR..
L Osler was serious when he said
that after 60 years of age men should
be compulsorily retired from public life
The doctor is himself not far from 60.
having been born in 1S49, and, after
long period of usefulness in this coun-
try. he has gone to England 70 accept
an important professorship at Oxford.
We fancy that DR.. Osler is planning
his work for many years to come and
we hope he will be spared for long.
long time. He certainly would not have
gone to oxford if he had expected to
retire in 1909.
The history of the worlds great men
contains abundant refutation OF the
theory that men are useless when they
have arrived at the age OF 90 years.
1t is quite true that great majority
of men OF so years and over are not
capable of as much work as they were
when they were younger. But the work
they do is better and the value OF a
mans work to the world and for the
world cannot fairly be measured by its
quantity
DR.. Osler says that in medicine no
great step has been taken by any man
who was not young. or comparatively
young. We do not question his knowI-
edge on this point, but we 90 not
think he would say that a physician
should cease practicing when ne is
90. because at that age he is more like
~ to DO harm than good to his patient.
But. while we have the greatest respect
for the medical profession. ,nere are
other professions of almost as great
value to the human race.
Some of the worlds greatest liter
ature was written by authors of more
than so years of age; some of the
greatest statesmen OF TINS ana other
countries have achieved fame beyond
that age and maintained it for a score
and more OF years The average age
Of the United States senators is not
far from so. This. however, may be
regarded by some people as an argu-
inent in favor of DIR. Osler's theory.
In any event DIR. Osler will not be
able to persuade the men or so that
they should be retired, nor will he be
able to persuade their friends to retire
them.

DEFEAT THIS BILL.

G ENATE BILL NO. 20, by Mr.. Hol
y Iingsworth should be entitled An
act TO make it easier for certain in
dividuals to avoid payment of their
Just obligations The bill provides
that wages that are earned and pay
able outside of the state shall not be
liable to attachment or garnishment
unless process is personally served on
the defendant. 1t is Tpanifestly i'm
possible to secure such service in most
instances. Therefore, the creditor
might just as well give UP all thought
OF collecting his account.
There are many men who work III
adjoining states for Utah corporations.
Their salary accounts are kept in this
state. The creditor knows that money
is due them from a concern with head
quarters in Utah. Yet he cannot, II
this bill becomes a law, attach the
money or any part of it unless he can
secure service, through an officer in an
other state, upon the debtor.

a man might have his pay tied up for
a debt he did not owe. Now we sub
nit that there is ample remedy at law
i'm such cases. The injured man can,
if he makes a sufficient showing, re-
cover at least the expenses to which
he has been put in making defense
And it is so rarely that an innocent
man is injured that the argument IS
hardly worth considering.
The proposed law will help a great
MANY more of dishonest men than 1t
will save of honest men. An honest
obligation should be paid as soon as
the debtor can find the money; an
honest man will make sacrifices in or
der to pay his creditors and preserve
the integrity of his financial standing.
Only rascals seek deliberately to evade
fair and reasonable obligations.
We believe in protecting the poor
man. the man who is Obliged to have
credit in order to live. But the best
vvav to protect the poor man who is
entitled to credit is to make it hard
for the unworthy to escape their obi
cations. Credits are easy when the
law gives the creditor fair protection
Rv the same token credits will always
be hard to get in states that go out

been such as to arouse warm admira-

criminal trusts need expect no favors
