CHURCH TO QUIT BUSINESS
Mormon Leaders to Dispose of Great
Cooperative Store and Other
Holdings in Utah.

Salt Lake City, May 1S.-The Nor
mon church is going out of business,
according to a local paper. Its prin-
cipal holding in Salt Lake City, the
Utah Light and Railway company, is
to be taken ever by a $25, 100000 cor
poration composed of English and
American capitalists.
If this policy is completely carried
out, the sale of the traction interests
will be followed oy the sale of stocks
in banks, sugar factories, the great
Zion cooperative mercantile institu-
ton department store, and many small.
er enterprises. 1t will be nothing less
than commercial revolution which
will profoundly affect the political and
social life of the state.
simultaneously the announcement is
made that the Salt Lake & Los Angeles
railroad, another church property, has
been sold to local syndicate for $780,
900. This road is 10 miles in length
and runs from the city to the lake.
President Joseph F. Smith, Of the
Mormon church, is quoted as saying
that the divorce of religion from busl-
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, he says, to assist converts
and strangers belonging to the church
but as they are now on a firm footing
the church withdraws from business
