The CITY ADVERTISING,

Yankee bluff, the democratic organ
of this city takes The cake against all
competitors. dissatisfied after count
less years Of unmolested feeding at
the public advertising crib, that pub
LEGATION presents bid practically one
fourth OF what 1t charged under demo-
cratic adm inistration, and then be-
cause a republican majority In the
present city council has seen lit to
award the advertising contract along
business lines, 1t flies into tantrum,
raises a great hullabaloo about repub.
lican disregard of public interests, and
then sets itself upon pedestal as pos.
sessing about all the virtue there is
this side OF kingdom come. THE RE-
PUBLICAN is not greatly concerned
about the effect Of the democratic
organs indignation or assumed right
iousness, for In the twenty.four years of
It's existence the public Of this city
and valley have become familiar with

WONDROUS FIGURING.

President Kingsbury, Of the Uniser.
sity, presented TO the Investigating
Commission figures showing that by
consolidation OF the A. G. and u. of
U. Il total Of $69,42l could be saved
each year. He arrived at such results
by adding TO the salaries paid for col
lege work in the University 1886, 626)
the salaries paid by the A. Q. for spe-
cial work not now taught in the Uni
versity ($l3,600) and then subtracting
that sum $500, 229l from the sum total
OF all salaries paid now at the two in
situations. This sum total amounts
to $1,000 and the difference between
this amount and the 500, 226 set forth
above is S6O,42l
Inasmuch as the total salary list at
the A. G. is but 69,2S4 yearly, and
the saving as set forth by President
kingsbury exceeds that entire amount
the public must necessarily concur
in the minority's assumption that his
proposition is absurd, that consolida-
ton could brig no such saving, The
public may also reasonably assume
that If such extraordinary figuring and
misleading results are obtained in
this instance, other peculiar and mis-.
leaoing figuring may emanate from
those who favor consolidation rather
than a solution of this matter founded
on its merits.

sity, and in breezy editorial cries out
against this further exhibition of Salt
Lake hoggishness. The Progress cites
the fact that the state of Utah has
supported the Agricultural College
when IL was least able to do so, and
believes the present hubbub about
economy being necessary NOW to the
extent of consolidation is absurd.
The Progress is to be commended on
its bold stand for what it believes is
right. N

COST OF DUPLICATION.

There has been much unintelligent
consideration of the cost of duplica.
tion in the College and University.
The uniformed, naturally of dispo-
sltion to take alarm when taxes are
mentioned, and ever ready to fall in
line with a cry OF economy without
Investigation as to the merit of that
cry have been impressed that the Col
lege and University are each doing an
unlimited amount Of costly duplica-
ton; that each school has many class
es that could be merged with profit
10 the report OF the minority Of the
Commission there are tables compiled
from figures presented by the SUBJ
committee showing that the Univer-
sity duplicates certain college work
and that the Agricultural College du.
plicates certain University work, the
College doing less duplication than the
University. The minority finds that
in all this duplication each school is
well within its proper sphere, and ex.
presses the opinion that such duplica-
ton is unavoidable and absolutely
necessary II the schools are to carry
out successfully the idea intended
when they were established.
Following the information relative |
to the courses duplicated are tables
showing the cost Of duplication at |
each institution. This total cost of
duplication in administrations Is the |
enormous (?) sum OF 81 ,597 % year.
These figures are compiled from such |
information as the subcommittee was !
able to get and are those from which !
them inority worked, Also thus neces-
sarily authentic. To the writer the sum
seems an exceedingly small one for
such an extraordinary hue and cry as
has been raised.
Granting, however, that this sum |
may appear larger to others than to
us, the question is, how much of this |
could be saved by n consolidation of
the two Institutions. Without |
thought, the public might infer that
a cessation of duplication incident to
consolidation would save that entire
amount. 1t would II the classes of the
two institutions could be merged und-
er one set Of professors and instructors,
but could this be accomplished? Fig
overwhelmingly report showing the
numbers enrolled In classes at the two
institutions indicate that many OF the
classes could not be merged without
additional assistance, and In sum-
mary the minority presents these
classes, and figures that OF the SIT, 697..
81 cost OF duplication, out 81, 1888 could ,
be saved II consolidation should come.
Duplication, then, is costing the
taxpayers OF Utah SlO,5l4 each year,
however, that comes In
the general and basic work, therefore
absolutely unavoidable here and in
higher educational institutions of
other states.
The REPUBLICAN commends these
figures to the taxpayers and asks that
they be given careful consideration.
On basis Of 100000 people In Utah,
the duplication in the two State edu.
cational institutions is costing yearly
3 cents for every soul within the
State confines. Don't you feel the
burden?
