CLEWs ON RATE-MAKING.

OCR OLD FRIEND, Henry Clews. is
" so averse to the notion that the
Interstate commerce commission
should have the power to fix railroad
rates that ne has sent out u letter on
the subject Among other things Mr..
Clews says,
Probably the most serious thing
that could now happen to the rail-
read interests would be the passage of
a rate-making BILL" Then he adds:
Such an enactment would be an en-
c;roachment by the government upon in
diyidual rights.
No commission that can be organized
would be competent TO deal with such
vast and complicated piece of work.
II might as logically attempt 10 fix
the price of butter and eSgs-
Our railroads pay about SSOc.OOG,OOJ
year in wages. Should the government
fix the rate the loss would fail chiefly
upon labor
Another class would suffer under such
policy millions of stockholders.
Yet Mr.. CIews believes it is all right
for the secretary of the United States
treasury to come to the aid of Wall
street stock gamblers when they are
about TO be pinched by their compatri-
OTIS. Hasn't the man who has the
other fellow i'm a corner the ''individ-
ual right to squeeze out of him the
last dollar possible? Does not the
government encroach on those rights
when it prevents the squeeze?
If great trust should corner all
the butter and eggs in the country
and attempt to sell them at exorbitant
rates we have no hesitation in express
ing the belief that the government
would be right if stepped in and fixed
the price of butter and eggs. And the
only railroad bill that has been seri-
ously considered provides merely that
the interstate commerce commission
shall have the power to correct ''un-
reasonable or unjustly discriminatory
rs tes.''

QUA CREDIT is GOOD.

THE SALE of the water bond issue
of 100000 to the Mutual Life In
surance company at a premium of
S15.1O0 is a matter for cOngratuIation
to all the people of this city. The in
cident shows that the credit of Salt
Lake City is very high indeed among
investors. Few cities of this size. es-
pscially those having prior bonded in
debtedness. could dispose of such
satisfactory a figure.
There were financial experts who
said that the city would experience
great difficulty in selling the bonds at
any price, and that certainly less than
PAR must Dc accepted. The agents of
the bond buyers who congregated for
the issue were Of this opinion, for in
every instance their figures were be-
low par It should be explained, how
ever. that these gentlemen buy bonds
for the purpose Of selling them again.
and not to hold as investments.
One of them is quoted as saying that
the bid OF the Mutual Life company
>
sell the bonds at. That. though. is a
matter for conjecture. The Mutual
may be depended upon to know what
it is doing in this matter. It wants the
bonds to hold as an investment and it
knows they are as safe as bonds of the
government. The interest will not
amount to great deal, but it will be
sure and regular.
Some people Will say that il is a first
class advertisements for the Mutual 20
buy Salt Lake City bonds. but we
submit that it is just as good an ad-
vertisement for salt Lake City. When
a conservative life insurance company
that must protect the interests of it's
policy holders comes TO this city for
bonds it is an indication to other in
vesrors that Salt Lakes securities are
as good as minted gold.

Wherever there have been govern
ments entirely by one party er by one
organization the results have been
graft and corruption and fraud. With
q watehful minority always present
the possibilities of fraud are reduced
TO minimum. It is true that the ma
jcrity can pass obnoxious measures, it
can vote money to its favorites and it
can maintain ruinous policy. But
the minority may be depended upon
to keep the people informed, and
sooner or later the corrupt majority
is turned out of Office
We do not charge that IL all the
various boards of the state should be
come strictly partisan an era of cor
ruption would be inaugurated. We do
say that the temptation to corruption
would be vastly greater than if the
minority representation is continued.
And there is another feature that
seems to us to be worth considering.
There should be no partisanship in the
administration Of a public trust.
No single party in this state pays
dli the taxes or contains ali or the
good citizens If one side is to have
no voice in the government it should
not be required to contribute to the
support of the government We be-
lieve thoroughly in the principle that
the majority should rule. In all first
class governments it is the majority
that rules. But that i'm no way elimi-
mates the theory that the minority
should have representation.

NEGROES AT THE BALL.

1 SPECIAL WASHINGTON dis
Il patch says:
The negroes of this city, arguing
that President Roosevelt meant what
he said when he declared that the
color line must not be drawn at the
Inaugural ball, are planning a sortie
on that spectacular function. The
women are going to wear their gaudi-
est gowns and the men are to be
declNed out in full evening regalia.
Many negroes have already purchased
tickets and more win be in line when
the event is at hand
The dispatch does not state whether
or not the president viii permit the
inaugural ball committee TO pass a
rule requiring the colored guests to
zheck their razors at the door. 1t is
not supposed for an instant. however.
that such a rule VIII be permitted.
The chief executive himself has said
that the door of opportunity must
not be closed to any man on account
OF his color"
The ball room door must also swing
wide open. BY all means let the ne
groes have their good time. They are
citizens Of the United States and near
Is all of them are Republicans. II
they are willing to pay for tickets to
the inaugural ball they should not be
denied the privilege. Meanwhile, all
the country outside OF Washington
viii be pardoned if IT does not resist
the temptation to smile audibly.

A BUSINESS PROPOSITION.

A t THE MEETING of the city coun-
u Gil Monday night, during an ar
gument regarding the placing on file
CT the application OF the Utah Light &
Railway company for a fifty years
extension of its franchise, Councilman
Wells. who seems to have constituted
himself the champion of the corpora
on<Ssaid: THE Utah Light & Rail-
way company is one of the big tax
layers of the city, it is a home in
stitution and it is entitled 60 courteous
treatment at the hands of this coun-
Gil"
In the first place the fact that the
Utah Light & Railway company is a
heavy taxpayer, though it does not
pay taxes II proportion TO the value
of its holdings. does not entitle it to
any more consideration at the hands
of the council than the humblest citi-
zen should receive In the second place
the nature of the corporations de-
mand deprives it of any rights it may
have had to courteous treatment Let
us submit a plain business proposition
&c the council.
Let US suppose. for instance, that
Mr.. Wells. seated in his office, not as
n councilman. but as a business man,
has something which he knows to be
worth in the neighborhood OF 81, OOO, 0OO
The door opens and a prosperous look
ing citizen walks In. He introduces
himself ana then plunges at once into
something like this:
AR Wells, you have in your possess
sion an article that is worth to me
100000 Now, 1 have here in my
pocket a simple little thing Of no
value, particularly. to you, but I be-
lieve it TO be worth 100000. 1 propose
10 trade it TO you, though you will
probably find that it is worthless for
Your purposes, for your 1905, 600 ar
ticle."
Would not the first impulse of Mr..
Wells, suave. courteous, gentlemanly
mn though he is. be to kick that
Prosperous looking citizen out of his
office? Would he, as a private man of
business, entertain the proposition for
an instant? Would he not immediate
" say why, the idea is absurd, it
IS not worth considering. My answer
is no.? or course Mr.. Wells, private
business man, would do that very
thing Why should he not be as care
ful OF the city's interests as of his
own2
Why should not all of the members
of the city council give TO the city's
business the same careful thought
they would devote to their personal
Have the people no rights
which their servants are bound to re-
spect. The motion to file the applica-
ton Of the Utah Light & Railway
company should have prevailed. The
TACT that it did not leads to the con-
'clusion that the councilmen may be
preparing to so far forget themselves
as TO monstrousIy betray the interests
they have sworn to safeguard.

IRISH MOVES DEFEATED
DR.. Balfour Sustained-Mr, Wynd-
ham May Resign.

March AFTER defeating by a majority
-, 40 an amendment proposed by I. H. Buehahah
1dberaD, declaring that the nauoIal q -,
ig excessive and burdensome, the House OK Co"-
-. snant the night In debating another Irish
amendment proposed by A j. c. Doneian' regret
ting that the Speech from the Throne contained no
nromise TO deal during the present session with the
pressing needs for Improvement Of the condition
Of laborers in Ireland
Tn the course of the debate number of speak
ers bitterly attacked Mr.. Wyndham, who was alb
sent from the House. His cause was taken up
however, by Mr.. Atkinson, Attorney General Tor
ireland who said the government was prepared to
introduce bill to expedite the erection of iaborers
cottages but that the Treasury was unable to pro-
vide the necessary money at a cheap rate
John Redmond who followed declared shet 1t
was a disgrace that this powerful government
could not provide money at reasonable rate to
carry out much needed reform.
When the division was called the Ulster Unionists
left the House. amid Nationalist jeers. Mr.. Done
lan's amendment was rejected by a vote Of 22s to
1874.
Premier Balfour then moved closure under which
the address In reply to the Speech from the Throne
was adopted-235 to 175
Despite official denals. the rumor persists that
Mr.. wyndham will resign the Chief Secretaryshp
for Ireland He is said TO be suffering from in
somnia and prostraton, arising from worries in
cdent to his office. and although Premier Balfour
wishes to retain him he may md 1t dift1Gult TO
equally determined to bring about his resignation.
Lord Selborne's appointment to the High Commits
sonership for South Africa win leave vacancy in
the Cabinet and it is regarded as not unlikely that
there will be some Encouragement there, involving
the transfer Of Mr.. Wyndham perhaps to the Adj
miralty, though it Is more likely that Lord Sell
bornes successor will be sought among the peers.
and that possibly Lord Salisbury may he the man.
1t is reported that, owing recent developments,
Mr.. Chamberlain is rallying his supporters and
making every preparation to force dissolution on
the government. He was expected to speak on be-
half of the government in yesterdays debate on
Mr.. Buchanan's amendment, but. owing to his irri-
tation Mr. Balfcur's attitude the fiscal
question at the last moment he decided to leave
the Ministers to fight their own battles.
London, March 1.-The Daily News learns that
Mr. Wyndham will be transferred to the Admiralty.
that Walter Long will become Chief Secretary for
Ireland and that the Duke of Marlborough event
uaIly will succeed the Earl of Dudley as Viceroy
of Ireland.
