A MoURNFUL NOTE.

Dear, dear, dear, what a difference
IL does make to our esteemed morning
contemporary when the cap it wears
is pressed down upon some other
Uranium. For several weeks our con-
temporary has been arguing that it is
all right for those who happen to be in
power to lead their friends up to the
public crib and feed them bounteously.
We have been told that only those
who are heart and soul with those
who rule have any right to even dream
of holding office. So earnestly has the
aforesaid contemporary 1abored along
this line that ii had almost convinced
US that we were wrong In insisting
that good men should be given ap-
pointments, regardless of political con-
siderations and not because OF them
Now everything is changed. Ben Hey
wood has been thrown out of the Unit
ed States marshals office and a de-
voted follower Of Senator Smoot, VIII
liam Spry, has been named to succeed
him. Mr.. Haywood was a first-class
marshal. He made a splendid record
during his term of Office. Yet he made
no better record as marshal than W.
H. Bywater made as chief of the fire
department. and our contemporary
boldly defended the oustjng of Bywater
and the substitution of an American
henchman, Vail
If it was proper to throw Bywater
out for political reasons, why is it not
also proper to throw Haywood out for
political reasons? We pause, dear
morning contemporary, for reply
And as we pause we recall the con
temporary's foaming wrath Of yester-
day morning.
'Pernicious and malignant partisan
ship" IL says Offensive partisanshir
would be carried 10 the last limit un-
der Mr.. Spry, a malformed, unrea-
soning determination to hold all things

direction Of d little handful of incom-

THE MILEAGE CASE.

Former District Judge Marioneaux
is entitled to congratulations upon his
effort to have declared unconstitution-
al the law under which the salaries
of district judges were raised While
they were in office Judge Marion
eaux evidently believes the law is IN
constitutional He does not attack it
In it's entirety. resting his plea on the
provision that no mileage or expenses
shall be allowed to judges He has,
therefore, set up a claim for mileage
for the time he was in Office after the
salary raise went into effect
It is not to be believed for a moment
that Judge Marioneaux is not good
enough lawyer to know that it will be
very difficult for the supreme court to
declare one part of the law unconsti-
tutiona without holding similarly re-
garding the entire statute. Especially
is this true when we remember that
the law makes the raise in salaries
contingent on the withdrawal of the
mileage and expenses allowances. The
statute is so plain that there can be
no question about this point.
Saws the law, chapter Sc of the ses-
sion laws of 1903: THAT the salaries
of the judges Of the district court are
hereby fixed at $4,000 per annum, pay
able quarterly out of the state treas
ury; provided. that no mileage or ex-
penses shall be allowed"
That proviso cannot be misinter-
preted or misconstrued. Nor can the
intent of the law be misunderstood. II
is so plain that there can be no bubble
about it, If the proviso is unconsti-
tutional the law is unconstitutional
for the law and the provlso are one
and inseparable. Judge Marioneaux
knows this, of course. And Of course
his object in laying claim to the mile
age is for the purpose Of opening the
whole question and securing an opin-
ion on the point as 10 whether or not
the judges who drew the increased sal
airy under this law were legally entitled
to the money.
We believe the law was unconstitu-
tlonaI insofar as it was made to apply
TO the then sitting judges. And we
hope Judge MariOneaux will succeed
in having it declared unconstitutional
If he wins, will not the judges affected
be required to return to the state
treasury the extra money they drew
Judge Marioneaux among them, if
indeed, he drew the extra pay? We
hope so.

WHERE CREDIT is DUE.

In the February number of Every
body's Magazine IS an article entitled
Reporters of Today" which deals
with a celebrated exploit of Chicago
Journal reporters in connection with
the Luetgert murder case. The credit
for COnceiving and executing the plan
which resulted in securing a verbatim
account of the jury's deliberations is
given to w. H. Stuart, whose picture
is published, while Eugene B. Palmer,
now city editor of The Salt Lake Her
aid, receives only incidental mention
as an assistant. The adventure at
tracted a great deal of attention at the
time, and the former Chicago news
paper men now in Salt Lake, as we'll
as others, know 1t was Mr.. Palmer who
was in charge Of the story, and that
Mr.. Stuart was working under his di-
rections, as were all other Journal re-
porters on the case. Any attempt to
make It appear otherwise is, therefore,
doing an injustice TO the man who was
really responsible throughout for the
execution of the feat.

GOVERNMENT LIFE INSURANCE


That the New Zealand government is
the most paternaIistic in the world is
generally known. That a system of life
insurance is maintained by the govern
ment there may not be so well known.
w. P. Reeves, New Zealand's high
commissioner in England, writes inter
estingly in a recent issue Of the North
American Review regarding the insur-
ance system OF his country. Mr.
Reeves declares that the only COM
plant he has heard is that some of the
private companies have increased their
business at a more rapid rate than the
government.
This seems surprising, too, in view
Of the fact that the government fur
nishes life insurance at rates as low
as the lowest an dthrows the strongest
safeguards possible around the inter
ests Of the policy-holders. The proper
tiOnately slower growth is accounted
for by the fact that the government
does not push it's business as the pri-
vate companies push theirs. The gov
eminent does not want to monopolize
the business, preferring to give every
body an equal chance
The business is in charge of an in
surance commissioner, who is appoint
ed and holds office regardless of poll
tics, and who makes his appointments
in the same way. Except in the matter
Of investments the commissioner has
absolute control In investments he is
one of board comprising six members.
This board is subjected to many legal
restrictions. It may not loan more
/ than $4,000 to any individual, firm OF
corporation. The carefulness of the
management may be understood from
/ the statement that the last report
showed only $4,000 involved in proper
ty under foreclosure proceedings.
The assets of the department. aggre-
gate something like $4,000, 600. About
half of this is invested in first mort
cages, Is per cent in government bonds
and as much more in loans to holders
Of policies. The balance is practically
all in municipala securities of a high
class character.
| During the last few years accident
and fire insurance has been undertaken
| by the government. Though it has not
attained the magnitude Of the life in
surance department, there has been q
great reduction in rates all around and
the private companies are complain
| ing bitterly about the governments in
! reference.

plete and inefficient Republicans whose
personal animosities are their only
strength and who, by their bigotry,
would injure the public service and
wreck the party to which they adhere. .
That's great, isn't it? Later on our
contemporary speaks of the disgust
ing and dangerous partisanship of q
man like the appointee," his disor-
ganizing political activities" and adds
that his selection as United States
marshal is an injury to President
Roosevelt and his party, and an insult
to the republic" Alas, alacki
We can just see the whole great re-
public sitting down and weeping over
the terrible insult that has been
slammed against it in the appointment
Of one William Spry to be United
States marshal for Utah. We can hear
the tears falling IN every city, town,
village and hamlet; we can see the
pale faces, the convulsive shaking of
shoulders as the manly, womanly and
childrenly forms are shaken by sobs.
Shame on you, dear contemporary,
for stirring us up so. And shame on
you, too, for not being willing to take
medicine Of your own brewing.
