Its principal holding in Salt Lake the
Utah Light i Railway Company, is to
be taken over by $25,00O,OO0 corpora
tion composed OF English and American
capitalists. The new company will also
acquire the Ogden Street Railway and
build an electric line from Juah County,
Utah. to Oneida County. Idaho. II will

The board of directors will include II.

London. and number OF Utah men,
among them Governor John e. Cutler.
The enterprise will be financed through
the lntermountain Trust Company, in.
corporated in Utah and Indian few
days ago.
Simultaneously the announcement i.
made that the Salt Lake 4 Los Angeles
Railway, another church property, has
been sold to local syndicate for $500,
600. This road is thirteen miles in
length and runs from the city to the
Lake. President Joseph Smith of the
Mormon Church i. quoted as saying
that the divorce of religion from busi-
ness is made on account of the fact that
the Mormons whom the church sought
to protect years ago no longer need the
protection of the church in business
affairs. The church entered business to
assist converts and strangers belonging
to the church but as they are now on a
firm footing the church will withdraw
from business entirely.
If this policy is completely carried
out the sale of the traction interests
will be followed by the sale OF stocks
in banks. sugar factories. the great
Z. c. NJ I. department store, and many
smaller enterprises. 1t will be nothing
less than a commercial revolution which
will profoundly affect the political and
social life of the state.
