PROPOSED LEGISLATION CAUSES
SPASMS.

The Americans" have had several
smaller spasms since they received
the knock out blow on November 6.
Possible if not probable legislation
which may be accomplished by the
new legislature which meets next Jan
uary is the cause of the tremors. 1t
is proposed, and with a good show of
reason, that the police and fire de-
partments of cities of the first class
should be taken out of politics.; in
other words that instead of being con-
trolled by the mayors and city coun-
ellis, they be put under the control of a
non-partisan police and fire commits
sion to be appointed by the governor
of the state. These departments have
no business in politics. Instead of
working politics they should be made
to attend to their legitimate business
for which they are paid by the people.
If the legislature sees fit to take them
out of politics it would be a heavy
blow to the amerikearns crowd. There
is no question that such move would
be constitutional Notwithstanding the
arguments of Chief Justice Nelson of
the Tribune to the contrary.
Another thing which sent cold shiv
ers down the backs of the present city
officials is the proposition that the leg
islature abolish the city council and
the present city officials and enact a
law for the government of cities of the
first and second classes by a commits
sion of five to be elected by the people
each commissioner to be the head of
one or more departments such as wa
terworks, streets, city treasurer, and
so forth and to be held responsible for
the conduct of his department or de-
partments. This is the plan proposed
by the civic improvement league and
the prospects are the legislature will
favorably look upon it. For the amer
ikearnsites one woe follows quickly on
the heels of another. Just fancy all
the graft and stealing of the ameri-
kearns crowd shut off with one fell
swoop. It's no wonder they have the
ague at the mere prospect.

r. S. CAMPBELL RESIGNS.

Robert S. Campbell has severed his
connection with the Utah Light and
Railway company, of which concern
he has been the general manager for
many years, and for which he worked
faithfully, successfully and honestly
both towards the company and the
public Mr. Campbell's resignation was
received with regret by the board of
directors which hesitated long time
before accepting it, but as Mr.. Camp
bell had other business interests which
require all his attention he insisted
on being relieved.
Mr.. Campbell is one of the ablest
traction men in the west. When he
took hold of what is now the Utah
Light and Railway company, 1t was
comparatively small concern, but I'M
der his management it grew and grew
and swallowed up the various other
companies operating in Salt Lake and
Ogden. He carried his company
through fourteen consultations and
mergers the last being the consolida-
ton of the Utah Light and Power COM
pany and the Consolidated Street Rail-
road company, which took place in
1904. Besides being thorough busi-
ness man Mr.. Campbell was most pop
lar and we'll beloved by his associates
and by every employee of his company
down to the humblest. The regret at
his resignation is general and sincere
and all wish him happiness and full
share of prosperity in the future. He
is succeeded by Joseph S. Wells, who
has been with the company for years
and is thorough efficient in every
thing pertaining t. the institution.

SOME ONE HAD BLUNDERED.
Information and Postmark In No Way

An editor said of the late Mrs
Craigie, or John Oliver Hobbies, as the
brilliant American novelist was
known:
i mad the honor of dining with Mrs.
Craigle during the London season at
her beautiful house in Lancaster Gate
She lived there in great luxury with
her father, who is a millionaire chem
list. Across the street dwells the earl
of Nc ath, the marquis of Ailsa lives a
few doors above, while next door Is
the mansion of the earl of Dunrnore,
Scottish peer whose servants all
wear the highlander costume, with
the XIII, plaid and bare knees.
Mrs Craigie was a superb mimic.
Min'icry, as she had mastered It, is
one OF the fine arts. / remember we'll,
that night at dinner, how she MINI
licked silly, empty-headed little lady
whose husband, lover of gayety, was
inclined to neglect his wife.
Mrs Craigie told us that this lady,
while spending the winter in the coun-
try, said one day at the country post
offite:
Dear me, what silly mistake
you post Office people have made
How, madam asked the clerk.
