CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS.

Two constitutional amendments are
to be voted on tomorrow. One is a prop
osition to use the state school funds in
support of high schools and the other
provides for the elimination of the tax
on mortgages. In the excitement and
the hubbub raised by the candidates
and their friends these amendments are
likely to be overlooked.
The school fund amendment should
unquestionably be defeated Stripped of
all its technical verbiage it is simply
a proposition to tax Salt Lake and We
Der counties for the benefit Of high
schools in various parts of the state.
The scheme is altogether unfair, I'M
just and unwise. Every town that
wants high school should be made to
pay for it. Under the law it is now
possible to levy special tax with
which to raise funds for the support
of such schools and this method should
be followed.
The mortgage tax amendment should
undoubtedly be carried. To place tax
on mortgages works a hardship on the
small borrower and the small lender.
It affects the big borrowers and lenders
not at all for they get their money from
outside the state and there is no tax on
mortgages given for money borrowed
abroad The mortgage tax is also a
clear case of double taxation. The
property that is mortgaged is taxed. the
money that is secured on the mortgage,
or whatever is purchased with the mon
ey. is taxed. The constitution certainly
should be amended so as to do away
with this obvious injustice.
The constitutional questions will be
found at the top OF the voting machines
] i'm the left hand corner over the names
of the candidates. No voter should
! overlook them. Where the old Aus
! traIian ballot is used the amendments
will be found about the middle of the
sheet and beneath the names of the
! candidates.

VOTE FOR JUDGE POWERS.

We believe the americans them
selves will concede that Mr.. Weir cam
not hope for election to congress; AMI
whether they concede it or not, it is
plain that he can get only the party
vote in this county with few outside,
not enough altogether to bring him
anywhere near success.
This being true, it is evident that the
fight is between Judge Powers and Mr..
Howell, with every probability that
Judge Powers will win. Any man who
wishes to see Mr.. Howell defeated ought
to vote for Judge Powers. unless he is
anxious to throw away his vote by re-
cording il for Mr.. Weir and giving Mr..
Howell the benefit of his generosity to
an opponent. The one hope of sue
cess Mr.. Howell has is based on the
party loyalty of Republicans, and this
year the local issue overshadows every
other so completely that he cannot de-
pend upon that With the odium of the
machine upon him and with his own
lack of the representative qualities
needed in a congressman. he is as good
as beaten right now. Vote for Judge
Powers and make the majority decisive.

division of the Republican party into
personal factions and machines.
The Democrats appeal to the COM
mon sense of the voter. they promise
and can fulfill the promise to restore
peace to the state and give it legitimate
politics. Their success would mean the
elimination OF factions, the retirement
OF the leaders who are responsible for
the situation that has distressed the
state for three years.
Isn't that a contamination to be
wished? Isn't it the most desirable
thing that could be secured for the
state? Isn't the Democratic party the
peace with honor?
The final reports from the state and
county indicate that the people are
ready to settle their problem for them
selves. Democrats everywhere are
standing with their party to a mar: and
with them are a good many men and
women who are not affiliated usually
with the Democratic party. From Cache
county to Washington the sentiment is
overwhelmingly for the destruction of
the machine and a return to basis
where all the members of each party
will control their own affairs without
regard to the personal ambitions of any
man or little coterie of men. The peo-
pie have revolted against illegitimate
methods, against appeals to passion
against dfctation of whatever sort. They
have let the politicians control for three
years and they know the result. Now
they propose to control affairs FOL
themselves and by themselves.
! This is the situation as it is presented
| to the voters for their final considera-
ton: A vote for either the Republicans
or the Americans" is a vote for the
continuation of a guerrilla war, wal
! on religious lines. A vote for the Dem
ocrats is a vote for fair politics with nc
religious issues, for clean government
for legitimate campaign methods, fol
| the good of the whole state. On thai
presentation of the facts the Democrat:
rightly believe they will win, and they
should win.

THAT SUSPENDED ORDER.

Secretary VIM. H. Taft is now be.
fore the American people IN new
light. His sense of Justice and friend
ship for President Roosevelt caused
him to take an unprecedented step in
suspending the order Of the chief ex,
ecutiye in the matter of the discharge
without honor" of the colored battaI-
ion of the Twenty.fifth Infantry. Since
the suspension of the order, a special
message has been received from Presi-
dent Roosevelt as follows:
"Unless facts as known to me are
shown to be false, the order will under
no circumstances be revoked, and I
shall not for one moment consider
suspending 1t on a simple allegation
that there are new facts until these
new facts are laid before me- Inform
any persons having new facts TO have
them in shape to lay before me at
once on my return and I will then con-
slider whether or not any further &C
ton by me is called for.
(signeN
THEODORE ROOSEVELT"
1t can thus be seen that the Incident
is not closed by any means. When the
President returns there is likely to be
considerable doing relative to the or.
der. Public sentiment seems to be
against the President at this time and
consequently Secretary Taft is being
watched in an unusual way. If he
succeeds in convincing the President
that the order was hasty or unjust and
can accomplish the work Of having
It revoked he will at once be hailed as
the man of the hour. His stand on The
question will make him millions of
friends no matter what the President
does, for he has already done more
than any other man in the United
States would have dared undertake.
We believe seCretary Taft has done
the right thing and 1t would not sur
prise us to see his course upheld by
the people as against the President.
But President Roosevelt may change
his mind whep he.views the situation
from Secretary Taft's point Of view.
The outcome 81 this affair win be
watched with unusual interest

NATIONAL BANKS TO LEND ON
REAL EsTAvE.

The national house of representa-
tlves has just passed an act to allow
national banks to accept real estate
as security for loans. For our
part we have never been able to
understand why this class of loans
should have been prohibited here
tOfOre.
AS rule centrally located real
estate in cities has been considered
the very best class of security by
money lenders, and there are some
who won't lend money on anything
else.
The prohibition that has hereto
fore existed has been a serious
handicap to national banks, and
has cut them off from a large
amount of business to which they
were justly entitled.
We hope the senate will also
pass this bill, and that it will
speedily become a law by the
approval of the president.
Real estate is about the best
kind of security for loan, when
the title is perfect, and as a rule
it is not hard to discover the facts
in regard to that matter. It can
not be removed, or destroyed, ex-
cept the houses that might be on
it,and they are generally protected
by insurance, and the fluctuations
in value are less than any other
kind of property except in rare
instances. We are heartily glad
that the obstacles to loans of this
character by national banks are
about to be removed. It cannot
be too speedily accomplished
