FOR PRESENT STATUS.
Reasons Advanced by Messrs. 6uIlen

The minority report favoring the exist

Messrs. Bullen and Walters, declares that
only in the past ten years mas mgner ecu
general lines, and that particular atten-
ton has been paid to technical courses.
IT is urged that the last legislature en-
acted a law forbidding the university TO
offer courses in agriculture, domestic SCI
ence and irrigation. The report cnarac-
terizes the Agricultural college az fed
eral-state institution owing TO the TACT
that in its strictly agricultural ana IN

federal government.

and pledged the faith of Utah that the
provisions would be carried out faith

The report quotes Senator Morrill,, au-
thor of one of the acts De slowing FEDERAL
aid upon agricultural colleges. as saying
that the purpose of congress was ito offer
an opportunity in every state for the es-
tablishment of an agricultural and me-
chanical college and to afford an oppOr-
tuniry for a more liberal and larger edu-
cation for larger numbers; not merely to
those destined to sedentary occupations.

is visiting in Salt Lake. He is editor of
the Carson City News and the Progress
slve West. In speaking of the prosperi-
~ of Nevada and the railroad building
going on there Mr.. Gotwaldt said:
In 1900 the population of Nevada was
1900. The present census shows il to
be $4,000. From the present rate of in
crease, When the next national census
is taken in Nevada will not be at the
foot of the list of states in population.
There are many influences working for
greater Nevada. Among these is the
government reclamation project On
the Truskee-Carson project $4,000, 600
has been spent, and there will be $780,
600 more expended before the undertake
ing is completed. 1t will put sc. 600 acres
of desert land under cultivation. Ex-
cellent progress is being made in the
Harvesting of the waters of Nevada.
The Truckee river in a course of fifty
two miles flowing from Lake Tahoe to
Pyramid lake falls 1000 feet and can
produce 22,0CO horse power There are
stations at twelve different points on
the river, producing over 1900 horse
power. These have played a great part
in the development of the state. Many
mills and small mining camps depend
on them entirely for a source of power
The progress on the other rivers is not
IS great. The Owen river furnishes a
supply of 5000 horsepower A number
of projects are on foot to erect power
stations on the Carson and Walker
rivers at considerable expense.
Nine Roads Building.

The long neglected district on the cas-,

branch from Hazen TO Fallon, which

under construction are the Borax Smith

the line from Cobre to Ely, the center

Conclusion.
In closing, the commission, in accord
ance with the law creating it. has found:
81. That there is duplication in the Ag-
ricultural College and the University of
Utah, much of which is unnecessary; in
(a) course and subjects; (b) apparatus
and equipment; (c) Institutional service;
(d) scope and purpose.
''2. That this duplication is expensive
involving needless cost, running into many
thousands of dollars, as specified in this
report.
30 We recommend to the electors of
this state the desirahiity and, consider
ing the future, the necessity of amend
ing the constitution of the state (Section
4, Article 1e) so that where it now pro-
Yides for the separate maintenance of
the University and the Agricultural Col
Iege, it shall provide for their mainte-
nance on one site.
Appended TO the report are letters ia
voring consolidation, from many educa-
TORS throughout the country who were
asked TO express opinions concerning con-
sOlidatiOn.

The Commissioners Report.

The District government Is big bust
ness institution. It's size and Importance
may be annually measured by the report
which the Commissioners make to Con-
gress regarding the work done during the
year and the items OF desired and needed
betterment and amendment which are
brought before the houses. This year the
report is unusually long but II is at the
same time unusually interesting. 1t is
striking commentary upon the steady ad-
vancement of the District toward the ideal
Of the capital makers. and while much re-
mains to be done to make Washington
satisfactorily clean city, with properly low
death and sickness rates, with model
housing conditions. clean streets. pure and
abundant water sufficient equipment in
buildings and clerical assistance, with
model schools, we'll administered charities
and reliable and sufficient police and fire.
lighting forces. so much has been done
during the past few years that the remain
der would seem to be but a matter>ef per-
sistent asking and patient waiting.
The Commissioners renew their annual
recommendation that the finances Of the
District be put upon the equitable basis of
a long-term advance OF funds from the
federal treasury to defray the cost of the
large permanent works. The fact that
Congress has year after year refused to
grant this measure of relief from the bur-
dens of cash-payment financing of these
heavy expenditures does not deter them
from returning to the front. They are
right in their position and justified in
stating ii strongly year after year. The
reasons for business-like adjustment of
this debt on the principle advocated by the
Commissioners are annually increasing in
force, as the debt accumu,ates and the
resources of the District are-taxed to meet
It according to the terms of the short
term advance system. Even though Con-
gress may not grant this measure of just
relief the Commissioners are to be COM
mended for restating their adherence to Q

which Is indorsed by the entire

proposition which Is indorsed by the entire
community.
Some Of the measures advocated by the
Commissioners in their report are familiar
through annual reiteration. such as the
adoption of an amendment to the Constitu-
ton changing the date Of the Inaugural
ton. the installation Of the high pressure
fire service the development OF the pubic
Fairgrounds. the Improvement Of the hous-
ing conditions through more stringent laws.
the transfer of the aqueduct to the Com
missioners, the transfer of parks also to
their jurisdiction. increases in certain OF
the subordinate branches Of the District
government, notably the building inspec-
tors office.
One new item appears in the report, and
is of immediate Importance to the whole
District. The Commissioners meet the
public expectations by strongly though
briefly recommending the extension of the
anti-smoke law to cover all railroad loco
motives, citing the refusal of the railroad
corporations to grant this relief volun-
tarily. and saying:
Therefore, the Commissioners lay the
matter before Congress for it's action, be-
1ieving that the beauty of the capital, the
comfort of the public and the interests of
the railroads, especially in the preserva-
ton of the union station, alike require that
the railroads shall use smokeless locomo-
tives within the District of Columbia" g
The Commissioners have pitched this
recommendation in the proper key of the
local welfare. and they have at the same
time wisely drawn the line of smoke pro-
hibition at the District boundary and not
at the ancient city limits. There is no
more important item before Congress at
this session than that embraced In the
paragraph just quoted.
Taken altogether the report is a salts
factory document. an excellent showing of
things done and a gratifying outline of
things desired for the permanent advantage

Coolidge Agrees With Burgess.

Prof. Coolidge, who is lecturing at the
Sorbonne in Paris, Is to give his views
about the Monroe doctrine to the French
public. He is said to be In agreement with
Prof. Burgess. II Europeans care for the
academic view of that matter 1t is all very
well. There are few men in America who
dissent from the Monroe doctrine. and I'D
so ten years ago when Mr.. Cleveland took
his stand in the Venezuelan case. But they
do not shape American policy. They are
not of weight in either party. and repre-
sent only themselves. AS long as this is
understood abroad no harm can come from
their discourses. They speak with perfect
freedom and without effect at home, and
the ruling passion is strong whiie they are
in Europe. Neither Germany nor France
WILL be influenced as a government by any
criticism passed by these visiting professors
on the most popular of our national
policies.

A Federal Child Labor Law.

One of the most serious social ills from
which this country is today suffering is
TIL, employment of children in mills, mines
and other places which absorb their time
and energies and rob them often of their
health and of a chance to secure an educa-
ton and a fair start in life. This evil has
been attacked In various quarters by car
nest men and women. who have recognized
the danger to the future state and the in
justice to the rising generation. They have
scored some measure of success, but their
advances thus far have only made more
plain than before the ultimate necessity of
securing federal law on the subject, set
ting a pace for the states and as Tar as
possible putting the ban of the government
upon the employment of juveniles.
The bill just introduced in the Senate by
Senator Beveridge aims at this object. 1t
strikes at the evil on the plane of the in
terstate commerce jurisdiction of the United
States government, prohibiting, under a
heavy penalty. the carrying OF goods into
the production of which child labor enters.
1t is believed that this is a constitutional
method of procedure. That it will be effec-
tive. if vigorously enforced. ia materially
reducing the traffic in juvenile labor may
not be doubted. 1t is Furthermore believed
that under the stimulus of this law consid-
erations of self-interest will force large
present employers of child labor who are
thus cut off from the advantages of cheap
help to secure state legislation reducing
all producers to the same basis.
If this measure will work out even part of
the reformation of which it is theoretically
capable 1t will have gone long way to-
ward abating this undeniable evil in the
United States 1t is therefore to be hoped
that every friend of the American child
every man and woman who sees ahead to
the day of the citizenship of these little
workers of today, and who appreciates the
handicap under which they will emerge into
manhood and womanhood after suffering
years of deprivation. social, mental and
moral, will work vigorously and untiringly
for the passage of the Beveridge bill That
1t will be strenuously and unremittingly
opposed is certain. 1t strikes too directly
and sharply at material interest to be al
lowed to go upon the statute books without
fight. This very prospect of a bitter
campaign should demonstrate the neces-
sity of a combination Of all the forces of re-
form to put the federal government finally
and effectively in the way to cure a condi-
ton which in the last analysis menaces the
future peace and prosperity of the country.

st. George and the Dragon.
From the Newark Advertiser.

The greatest legal contest that this
country has ever witnessed has now been
begun in the United States courts by the
Attorney General. 1t is to decide whether
an enormously capitalized and immensely
powerful private corporation, in control
of a great national product, and owning or
controlling railroads, mines. steamship
lines, banks and great lines of manufacture,
Is above the Jaw of the land. which 1t has
systematically violated. There Is no cry OF
an attack on vested interests raised this
time. The Standard Oil Company. criminal
in it's origin, growth and methods, has
stood before the country for years the en-
bodiment of all that is hateful to the
American people, and no previous action
taken by the government was as universal
ly and ardently approved by the popular
sentiment as this determined prosecution.
Surely no previous ACT by nationai admin
istration compared with this one in it's SD
preme necessity.

Amend the Employment Agency Law

Amend the Employment Agency Law.
1t is unfortunate that the law regulating
employment agencies in this District should
have been passed In a shape which pre-
vents a satisfactory prosecution of those
who undertake to do business In that line
without securing licenses from the District
Commissioners. The. discovery that the
statute does not carry penalties beyond a
certain section renders it imperative that
Congress be asked promptly to remedy this
deficiency and amend the law In a manner
to enable the Commissioners. through the
proper officials. to hale to court all persons
who thus undertake to nullify the statute.
While the statute is perfect in the mat
ter of the immoral traffic OF employment
agents. that evil by no means compasses
the whole range Of obnoxious practices
which are cloaked under the guise of these
establishments. Frauds are not only pos
sible, but they have. 1t Is known. been
practiced in this city through this means.
and the Commissioners have the right to
take all such considerations under advise
ment when they examine the records Of ap-

mission to do BUSINESS on such ground.
Yet as the law now stands an applicant
who is thus denied the right to conduct an
agency may with impunity defy the authori-
ties and maintain his business without suf-
fering a penalty.
This was clearly not the intention OF Con-
gress. and the oversight in drafting the
bill which finally became a law shouId be
easily repaired. This should be done at
once. in order to prevent any long con-
tinuance of the present anomalous condi-
ton.

Germany's Concessions. -
On, the New York Times.

Germany has entered the ranks Of the
protectionist nations. She imposes heavy
duties on our products, among others, not
for revenue but to compel her own people
to pay higher prices to her own producers
who compete with ours. We do precisely
the same thing with the same motive. 1t
is true that Germany has proposed nego-
tiations regarding these duties on the one
hand and on the other. But she began by
imposing heavier duties, and all that She
offers now is to reduce these to the old
level, IL we will make some concessions to
her of the same nature.
