The above is from the News
and has reference to the pro-
posed franchise grab. Does the News
affect to say that people have not
the right of petition; and that citi-
zens have no legal authority for stat
ing their side of the case to the council
they have created? BY the way, why
should the News be so intensely an
xious for this extension? 1t asserts
its friendship for the people in so
many ways that this conduct seems
indeed strange. With forty-two years
ahead of it, what good reason can
be advanced for giving away fifty
years rental of the streets of this city
for nothing? The News has been
clamoring that when the facts
shall have been presented it will be
seen etc. Let the News produce some
facts. Facts are what the people
want. Answer the question: Why
shrould the Consolidated Railway &
Power company be given an extension
of fifty years more time, when its
present concessions cover a period Of
forty-two years from date?

betterments requires much money,
more than the present net earnings
amount to. We are informed that it
will be absolutely necessary for the
company to borrow more money, but
it should not be necessary for it to
have a franchise lasting nearly hun
dred years to enable it to do that. The
committee appointed to handle the
matter on behalf of the citizens are
probably arrive at satisfactory con-
clusion. We don't think there is
much danger of the CITY council grant
ing the request of the company. as it
now stands. If they attempt it they
will be enjoined by the taxpayers who
object to it. Some members of the cii
zens' committee have suggested that
the dozen or more franchises under
which the company is now operating
should be consolidated into one char
ter containing provisions safeguard
ing the interests of the public, and
that the new franchise should be for
term of so years from this date
which would be an extension of about
eight years of the present franchise.
1t is a great pity the city is not in
| financial position which would enable
it to buy out the company's interests
and operate the system itself. We
have in Salt Lake one example of the
benefits of a municipality owning its
public utilities in the waterworks sys-
TEN. The operation of it has been so
successful that the citizens of Salt
Lake are supplied with water cheaper
than those of any other city in the
United States, and at the same time
the department makes a profit to the
city of nearly 100000 a year, most of
which, however, has been used in ex-
tending and improving the system.

There is a strong and very general
feeling among the people of Salt Lake
against giving the Utah Light & Rail
way company so years extension of
it's franchise. The objection is not
confined to any class, but seems gen.
eral Most of the expressions of
three Of the daily papers and of a
good many people are too extreme,
too violent, and convey the impress
sion that the Light company is a pub
lie enemy. Truth is forcefully ana
unequivocally against granting the
extension, and has already given at
some length it's reason for its posi-
ton. 1t has not, however, thought it
necessary to abuse the company or its
managers. 1t has had a good deal to
contend with, both in the lighting and
street car branches of its business,
and it is fact that in all the years
of its existence, either as separate
companies or since the amalgamation,
1t has only twice paid dividends, and
in each case these were very small,
only per cent each time The bond
ed Indebtedness of the company is
also large. Salt Lakes population will
have to be about doubled before the
can expect to make much,
II any, money. This city covers sucl
a very large extent of territory that
the operation of street cars and cleo
trio lighting is probably more expen-
sive than in any other city in the
United States, with the same number
Of inhabitants as Salt Lake. The plant
of the concern, owing to constant and
rapid improvements in electrical en-
is not of the most modern
type and requires a good deal of
money to be spent on it. In regard to
the street car system, the company
has had to spend large sums in laying
new and heavier rails. The Brigham
street improvement alone, which is
now in progress, will cost the COM
pany about $7O,OOO and large sums
will have l. be spent on other portions
of the system, which, in all, has SO
miles of trackage. Some of the old
rails are too light and in bad shape.

SERMON DRAWN FROM TRAGEDY
Some Of the Causes That Led Up to
WASTED Life"

All the sermons are not preached
from pulpits. although the substance
Of most of the texts may be found in
the scriptures. During the week a
man preached sermon with a bullet.
He wrote this text first:
"a wasted llfe-all my own fault
and wasted opportunities"
A wasted life Is simply the sum OF
wasted opportunities. Life is made up
OF opportunities, either improved or
neglected. Usually ones surroundings
ut the outset determine whether op-
portunitles are to be seized and utll.
lied as they present themselves. or
are to be allowed to pass by practi-
eally unnoticed.
The man who left the text before
ending what he considered n waTted
life was the son of n retired distiller.
Presumably he had In his formative
days the advantages that wealth can
g!ve-which means that he also had
n number OF formidable disadvan.
tages. Seldom is 1t good for boy TO
prepare for life In the easy ways fur.
nished by a practically unlimited sup.
ply OF cash.
1t is assumed. therefore. that this
unfortunate man started with Sc.
Iious handicap-his fathers wealth,
thoughtlcssly dispensed. made life too
easy for him. untitled him for the tri.
ais Of q business or professional ca.
.eer.
So he wasted his opportunities. the
stepping stones to efficiency and
achievement. His college training
gave him no advantage; his fathers
wealth was as milestone around his
neck The wasted days ran into vast
ed weeks and wasted years: and the
most lamentable thing is that he had
sense enough TO know that he was
failure, yet not sense enough to real
ize that In himself he had the ele-
uents that turn failure into success.
At 35 no life should be called vast,
ed. for the best part Of life st!ll lies
ahead. The opportunities that have
come will not present themselves
again: but there will be other oppor-
tunities. and much progress may be
made, even II the first half Of life has
been nisspent.
Perhaps this mans rich father was
largely to blame for the failure: but.
cfter all. sucress is an individual mat
ter. No man can waste another mans
life; he must do this for himself. And
there Is no hour from the cradle to
the grave when he may not stop the

is not necessary for him to pass

reputation for sobriety, honesty and
reliability must be beyond question.
They are men who have great physi-

time the men are liable to call for
special duty, but their regular work
is for eight hours. The shifts are
