EXTORTIONATE PRICES AND THE
TARIEE

On May %. Mr. AIdrich reported
from the senate committee on finance
a Joint resolution providing that pur-
chaserS Of material and equipment for
use in the construction of the Pana-
ma canal shall be restricted 10 articles
OF domestic production and manufac-
ture. unless the president shall, in
any case, deem the bids or tenders
therefor TO be extOrtiOnate or unreas-
enable"
The practice Of giving the presi-
dent power to suspend the operation
Of a general law for a particular pur-
pose is contrary to our theory Of gov
eminent; and If this resolution passes
il viii constitute a very dangerous
precedent If domestic manufactur-
ers charge eXtOrtiOnate prices, the
general tariff law which allows them
to do should be repealed If the gov
eminent Of the United States may buy
supplies in the cheapest market, as
il has been doing Of late, without pay
ing Dingley duties, why mayn't the
rest of US enjoy the same privileged
Why should not the states be allow
ed to buy cement and other building
materials abroad for their own use
Why should not the cities and towns

every man be allowed to save his
money by purchasing at the lowest
price? The only fair answer to these
questions is that the Carnegies,
Schwabs, Havemeyers, DupOnts, and

Burton Is Calm


Il have nothing to say for publ
cation" was Senator BurtOn's re-
Spouse to a newspaper inquiry imme-
diately after the news Of his resigna-
ton had been made public. Senator
Burton was seen at his room IN the
ThrOOps hotel with e number OF his
faithful friends. He seemed calm and
untrOubled. In conversation he was
cheerful, as he has always been.
Boys, this is not a funeral was
his remark to some Of his newspaper
friends. Pressed for a statement he
said:
When was first indicted an
nOunced that ! would not in any way
il had been finally decided. I have
absolutely nothing TO say now"
This statement may be taken to
mean absolutely that the rUmOrs that
Senator BurtOn's attorneys viii not
press the motion for a rehearing in
the supreme court are unfounded- One
Of his attorneys made similar state
ments this morning. They believe
with the senator that he has been
wrongfuIly convicted and that they
can show the court its error In view
OF that fact &c is now expected that
the motion for rehearing viii be
pressed vigorously.
Senator Burton did not discuss this
plans for the future farther than TO
say that he has already re-engaged in
ing TO prospective clients over the long
distance telephone at divers times this
morning He went TO Kansas City at
8 O'Clock this afternoon and from

CiIanged Positions

Last night Senator Burton's friends
had almost persuaded him to attempt
to hold on for a time longer. They
thought that If the vacancy could be
postponed until about the time for an
adjournment Of congress an appoint
ment could be avoided, at least until
after election. Senator Burton, him
self wanted to have the matter settled
definitely. Several kilograms were eX-
changed with parties at Washington.
Senator Long intimated that nothing
could be done to delay action by the
senate. The result was that Senator
Burton carried out his original inten-
ton and resigned this morning.
The resignation became effective the
second il was in Governor HOch's
hands and by him accepted. Whether
Governor HOch acknowledged the re-
ceipt Of the resignation by letter or
by verbal message could not be
learned.

nUBois AND HEPBURN.

Frank r. Gooding, Idaho's shepherd
er governor, according to an interview
which he gave the Deseret News Boise
correspondent, learned during his re-
cent thirty-six-hOur stay in the nation
al capital that W. B. Hepburn Of Spo-
kane, Wash, Idaho's junior senator, is
a much greater man than Fred T. Du-
bois, the senior senator, despite a uni
versal conspiracy on the part of Wash
ingtOn newspaper men to exalt Dubois
and belittlc Hepburn.
In the interview in question, Govern
or Gooding is quoted as saying:
I feel that neither the senator CHey-
burn) nor the congressman FrenchJ are
getting q square deal from the special
newspaper representatives. Everything IS
highly cOlored in the interest Of Senator
Dubois. The people should not be mis-
led by these Washington reports. 1 found
that Hepburn and French were especial
~ strong with the departments, and feel
confident that they viii be able to do
much good for Idaho With the eXcep-
ton OF the presidents forest reserve pol
icy, ! believe Senator Hepburn is in full
accord with the administration on all
measures.
1t is burning shame Of course that
the supposedly impartial newspaper
representatives in Washington should
have overlooked the transcendent abili-
ties of the colossal Hepburn and glori-
fed the more modest qualities Of Du-
bOis; but that mistake, apparently, has
not been confined to newspaper men
alone. The president of the United
States, acclaimed as the greatest Re
publican of his generation, seems to
have bIundered likewise.
There are a number of things in
which Senator Dubois has failed which
render the conduct of a biased press
all the more reprehensible and give
Governor GOoding just cause for com
plant concerning the discrimination
against the senator from Spokane. For
example, Senator Dubois has never at
tanned the distinction of having
pamphlet circulated by direction Of the
president accusing him Of dealing care
Iessly with truth and veracity; he has
never been accused of helping CORPORA
lions to plumber the public domain Of
his state; he has not, in his whole
career in the senate, become so AFRO
people are afraid to speak to him lest
his awful majesty overwheln them.
No; in all these things Senator Du-
bois has failed. Moreover, in them
Senator Hepburn has been most re-
markedly sUccessfuI-so successful. in
fact, that even Governor Cooling. if he
will tell the truth, viii admit that,
despite the normal Republican majority
in Idaho, Hepburn does not stand the
slightest chance Of ever being re-eIect-
ed, while Senator Dubois chances for
reelection are considered good, despite
his alienation Of q considerable part Of
the normal Democratic strength of the
state.
Governor GOoding himself will not
dare to say now that he favors Hey
burns reelection or that he will sup
port him; to do so would be 10 invite
his own political destruction, and he
knows It.

KEEP BYWATER IN.

Report has it that one Of the earliest
removals to be made by Mayor ThOmp-
son will be that of William H. By
water, chief Of the fire department. The
only reason any one has assigned for
this contemplated action is that Chief
Bywater is a Democrat and Mormon.
The chiefs bitterest enemies will not
deny that he has made the best record
in the fire department that any chief
has made in at least a dozen years.
They admit that under his regime the
average loss at fires has been lower.
the total loss less than under any other
chief Insurance rates have been de-
creased, politics has been eliminated
from the department, and every man in
1t made to stand or fall distinctly on
MS individual merits.
IF these are faults. then Chief By
water should be discharged instantly.
IF 1t is crime to give this city first
class fire protection ne should not be
retained in Office another day We
would ike 10 have Mayor Thompson,
before he removes Chief Bywater make
a quiet canvass Of the business men of
Salt Lake City Let him, or somebody
for him, begin at the corner of Third
.ASouth and Main streets and go north to
Puth Temple street, taking IN West
temple street and state streets as we'll.
These twelve blocks. counting both
sides Of the streets. include the greater
part of the business district. If the
canvass does not show a majority Of at
least ten to one in favor of the reten-
ton of chief Bywater, The Herald viii
say nothing more in favor Of keeping
him in office
The truth is that the business men of
Salt Lake City, the men who have the
most property at stake, those who con-
tribute the bulk Of the insurance pre-
miums, are almost unanimously in IA
vor Of Bywater, regardless of politics.
WhyR One need not go far to find the
reasons. We have before US statistics
Showing the work Of the Salt Lake fire
department for period OF twelve
years. The lowest average loss per fire
In ali that time was under Chief By
water. S2o3.S1 in 1904 The next lowest
was in 1895. SZSg7g.
The highest averages were in 1901 and
1908, under the man who is most prom
lnent1y mentioned as Bywater's sue
cessor, S2,012 and $3.50, respectively.
The lowest percentage Of property lost
10 property involved was also under
Bywater in 1904 The facts and figures
are easily obta.nable. They speak for
themselves.
II the American party administration
Intends to make services performed for
the party the sole ties, Of ability to hold
office. as has been indicated by one or
two Of the American councilmen, this
city is liable to fall into a bad way. If
Mayor Thompson wants to do what is
best for the city he viii permit moth
ing Of the sort. and he viii give an
indication of his intention by immedi-
ately announcing that Chief Bywater
will not be removed.
