BEWARE HANDBAG
GRABBER

Miss Isabel Killner. CT 412 Sec
ond av., was attacked near her
home about Z O'Clock last night by
a lone highwayman, who grabbed
her handbag and ran. She pur.
sued but was distanced and re-
ported to the police. The hand
bag contained $50. a check on the
Exchange National bank for $25
and receipt for payment for a
lot in Mantle park. This morning
L. D. Thompson found the hand
bag on Second av. and brought it
to the police station. 1t contained
some small articles and everything
but the cash and land receipt.
Miss Killner could give no accur.
ate description of her assailant.

value, immense natural opportuni-
ties would be thrown open and
there would be a tremendous and
lasting demand for both labor and
capital. Then there would not be
a competition of laborers for en-
ployment, but competition of ma
ture, so to speak, for users. There
would be no limit to the demand
for labor, and the immigration
question would not give us the
concern it is now giving so large
a proportion of our people.
Will such a state of things come
to pass? l am strongly inclined
to think that it will come in Japan
before great while. The Japa-
nese will soon see, as many of
their best thinkers now see, that
to shift taxation from the laborer
and all the fruits of labor to the
value of land, regardless of m
provements-that is to say, to the
common value of land, the value
made by the presence of popula-
tion-would be of inestimable value
to the working masses of this
country.
If this shall be done there will
be a materially lessened desire of
Japanese laborers to emigrate. And
were California to apply a like tax
there would be so large a demand
for labor of every kind there that
California would care little whether
or not the Japanese laborers should
come In large numbers.

That is to say, were taxes shifted

On the other hand, the reason
why in California the competition
of the laborer from Asia is felt is
that the great, rich territory is
monopolized by comparatively
few persons. 1t is because the
vast wheat farms, cattle ranches,
orchards, vast timber tracts and
mineral possessions are in few
hands, and the railroads rob and
discriminate in their rates, that
there is such intense competition
for employment among the million
and a half people.

WHAT HAVE WE BEEN DolNda

Strangers who come into Cedar
City and learn that it has been settled
for 80 years or upwards, wonder what
the residents have been doing all this
while. Why we haven't better streets
aud walks; why there are not more
we'll cultivated lawns and grounds ;
why there is scarcely finished build
ing in the place. To the person rails
cd in Che more progressive towns of
northern Utah, or in the East, every
thing here has slip-shod appearance.
And really, there is a great deal Of
room for criticism. There has been
enough labor wasted on the straet
corners and about business houses
during the past 30 years in Cedar to
have paved and guttered every street
and sidewalk within the populated
district, and yet we continue to wade
through the mud year after year, with
only the hauling of an occasional load
of shale or other temporary improve
ment--just enough to enable us to
slop around. A nice fourfoot &C.
ment walk along the front of each lot
in the more thickly populated dis
trict would not cost very much, and
once it was laid good dry footing
would be insured for many long years
to come. Besides this it would
stamp Cedar City as one of the pro-
gressive up and-a-coming towns of the
state-one of which we could all feel
proud. With good sidewalks the
winter season would lose one half its
terrors for the inhabitants. 1t has
been predicted that If one walk in
town were to be paved a majority OF
the property holders would soon fall
in line. Who will be the progressive
citizen to set the example?

IL is sometimes said: why, these
topics are news-it Ia to read about
them that people subscribe to the
paper. 1t Is true enough that these
topics have certain news value, but
a few lines soon exhausts that. From
the standpoint of public interest it is
enough to know once that the hu
name society will meet Tuesday, or
that the second ward Loyal Legion
will hold contest.
