MEAT TRUST FIGURES.

EVERY HEART will now begin
l. throbbing with sympathy for the
poor meat trust According to a state
ment given out by the commissioner
of corporations. based on figures fur
nished by trust officials the combinN-
ton only made Il profit of 90 cents per
head on cattle slaughtered during 1904.
The report says that this does not in
clude Incidental profits. We presume

ussble parts OF the animals are not

But how obviously unfair it is for
the trust to say that its net profit. ex-
elusive OF the incidentaIs, was only %
cents per head. That is, after it had
paid ali the expenses Of slaughtering,
after it had paid high salaries to num-
berless officials, it averaged q profit of
% cents on the meat in every carcass
sold It has long been understood that
the greatest profits now earned in the
packing house business come from the

it's cattle. An interesting feature of
the report is the statement that the
meat trust slaughtered 40 per cent of
the cattle killed in the country.
Isn't that tremendous percentage
OF a necessary article of food for a
single. organization to control? If one
man owned As per cent OF all the
wheat in the United States he would
practically control the bread market,
not only of this country. but OF the
world. 1t is d mistake to suppose that
the meat trust, because it does not
do 81 per cent of the business. is not

1t is a combination OF that eharac-
ter. II can absolutely control. and

do so. 1t can. and it does, fix the price

and it is always careful to fix the
prices at such a figure that an abund-
ant margin of profit will be left. If
the trusts own figures are accepted as
gospel truth, it must stand convicted.

what purpose was Mrs. Stanfori
killed? 1t is always necessary to find
motive for murder. and none IS
apparent here.
AS far as the police have been able
to ascertain, there IS not a living per-
son who viii benefit by her death, not
enc. Her maid and her secretary are
deprived of frst-class positions. the
latter having been in the employ Of
Mrs Stanford for many years 1t is
not to be believed that either of these
women administered the poison. The
only other theory is that somebody :"
San Francisco saw to it that Mrs.
Stanford took the poisoned soda away
with her.
Mrs. Stanfords death marks the
passing of the last of her immediate
family. Her husband has been dead
for years, and 50 has her only son,
Leland Stanford. jr. Her passing
makes the great Stanford university in
California, already the wealthiest in
stitution of learning in the country,
even more wealthy. Nobody else is
benefited to any material extent by
her death.

MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.

MO MATTER what the motive behind
N the suggested change of time for
holding city elections. it should be de-
featcd for good business reasons.
happens just now that salt Lake has
a first-class mayor and an unusually
good administration, with few cxcep-
lions, but il the city elections were
changed and held at the same time as
am general selection OF officials,
there could be little hope OF keeping
tie city business out OF politics, as ii
should be.
Given a state election or county
election at the same time as the city
ballot. and the politicians could be re-
lied upon to trade votes in the NOM
mating conventions and at the polls
until the city's welfare would be rele-
gated to the rear. City patronage
would form the basis of the campaign
and every little job under the city
would be pledged weeks in advance of
the election to some active worker, -
generally some one who could not hold
an ordinary business job.
Wherever the experiment OF combin-
ing municipal and other elections has
been tried it has proved q fat failure
When the people of the city have no
special party issues TO confuse them,
when the nominations for city officers
are presented alone and on their
merits. there is some chance TO get
efficient and competent men for city
affairs When the number of candi-
dates is long and distributed among
state or county offices as we'll as city
places. the voter has no adequate OPP
portunity to make comparisons and
select the best men as he should.
The people of Salt Lake certainly do
not want any change in the present
method of electing city officials. nor
has there been any demand from other
municipalities that anybody has heard
OF. II the plan is a partisan measure,
SO much the more should it be beaten.
Partisan politics is responsible for
enough municipal crimes without aS-
gravating its capacity for harm

ADVERTISING SALT LAKE.

g ALT LAKERS generally have had
y little opportunity to know just
how extensively the San PEDRO rail-
road officials are advertising their city
unless they have been in Los Angeles
recently. a personal letter from Salt
Lake man, who is in no way connected
with the railroad emphasizes this in
so interesting a way as to justify re-
printing. 4 want to can The Herald s
attention" he says. Ito the fact that
through the agency Of Mr.. J. Ross
Clark. all of southern California. in
Guiding city officials. hotel managers,
porters. bell boys, hackmen. street car
conductors, in fact everybody. has
drifted into the way of calling the San
Pedro. Los Angeles and Salt Lake road
The salt Lake Route" They have cut
out the san Pedro and Los Angeles.
giving Salt Lake the compliment OF the
name Of the route. They have even
gone so far as TO put out much of their
printed matter referring TO the Salt
Lake route, You see little signs OF this
kind on nearly all of the stations as
you pasS through.
Another thing: When it comes to
this excursion business that has been
talked or SO much. if they conclude to
have a celebration at both ends. which
in all likelihood they VIII. our people
must be prepared TO put up money
and plenty of il. or course. it is gener-
ally understood by the Los Angeles
people that our city is about half the
size OF Los Angeles. 1t is also well
understood that Los Angeles has ten
opportunities to our one for entertain
ing. If the celebration at our end
comes off late enough, the later the
better, July il possible. we. of course,
can make something Of a showing by
way OF entertainment"
When the Salt Lake route Is run
ming through trains and transcontinen-
tai travel begins over the new line.
Salt Lake viii feel at once the stimulus
of such extended advertising as has
been inaugurated by the San Pedro
management throughout the country.
At the same time, if we are to take
advantage of the situation and reap
the benefit OF the publicity which will
follow. we will have to live up to the
expectations OF visitors and show them
a city worth seeing and worth living in.
No business man can get much out of
advertising unless he is prepared to
show the goods; and Salt Lake viii be
in exactly the same position.

MURDER OF MRS. STANFORD.

THE POISONING OF Mrs. Jane STAN
ford. widow OF Senator Stanford OF
California. is a mystery that bids fair
20 remain unexplained forever. Two
Or three weeks ago. just before she
sailed for Honolulu from San Francis
CO. an effort was made to poison Mrs.
Stanford. It failed because too much
poison was administered. shortly
after she arrived in Honolulu Mrs.
stanford opened a bottle of carbonate
OF soda, which she had purchased in
san Francisco, and took q single dose
Of It. Within very short time she
died.
Notwithstanding the fact that Mrs.
stnnford's last words were TO the et-
feet that she had been poisoned. and
the further fact that her symptoms in
dicated the correctness or her sur
mise. it was difficult for people to be-
iieve that she had been murdered. An
examination of the carbonate OF soda
showed, however. that it contained a
large amount OF strychnine. That it
was deliberately placed in the bottle
ii order to cause the death OF some
body there IS no question.
And If Mrs stanford got hold of the
bottle by mistake. some other was to
have been the prisoners victim. But
Mrs. Stanford's earlier experience in
san Francisco IS sufficient proof that
it was her death that was plotted. Tho
next question is: BY whom and 1Sr

THE BUCKET SHOP BILL.

THE SENATE COMMITTEE on ju-
dietary has reported favorably on
the bill to suppress bucket shops, and
st is hoped the measure will be adopted
without difficulty. as it should be. Le-
Ultimate brokerage cannot possibly be
injured by the proposed law, and no
other class OF operations ought to be
tolerated.
1t seems almost needless to argue
that bucket shop deals are gambling
OF the most pernicious sort. Here in
Salt Lake men of prominence. men
who would not think for "A moment of
entering a common gambling place,
have played the bucket shop game TO
their sorrow; and in one case at least
the fortune OF a lifetime was dissi-
pated in old age. the family robbed of
the inheritance it had a right TO ex-
pect. and the victim himself died
broken-hearted over his own folly.
If bucket shops contributed one cent
to the legitimate business activity of
the community; if they had any SEM
blanee OF honest industry there might
be some reason for delay in the pas
sage OF the bill. AS it is. the city and
state are robbed of thousands OF dol
lars monthly which is sent out of the
state and for which no honest return
IS ever made. while a dangerous form
OF gambling is maintained under a
Euise OF respectability which makes 1t
"a constant menace to the business well
fare OF the community.
The bucket shops ought to be closed.
md the passage of this bill would be a
move in the right direction.
