INSURANCE RATES

Just as a matter OF business, It would
be we'll for the insurance companies to
20 dow IN their arrangements TO make
the public pay ell their San Francisco
losses without touching their reserves,
by raising the rates all over the coun-
try. Unless the fire risks have been
handled improperly heretofore the
rates already provided a heavy reserve
against such calamities as the San
Francisco FIRE: and the solvency Of the
underwriters shows that these reserves
had been collected in advance from
poIicy-holders- 1t is piling 1t on pretty
strong. therefore, to add another Is per
cent to the already high rates just be
cause the reserves would have to be
drawn upon 70 meet an emergency
which mad already been provided for.
IF this additional cost IS insisted up
on. the insuring public IS likely TO get
FESTIVE and ask why it is that rates are
fixed bv an iron-cIad agreement; why
the rates here in salt Lake, for IN
stance. were boosted when the indepen-
dent companies were taken into the
combination: why there is no such
thing as competition among the COM
NAMES. IN a word. there is likely to be
an awkward inquiry as to whether or
NOT there is really an insurance trust,
as is often charged; and If there is the
pubIic will want TO know why it is not
ameua Die 10 law just as much as the
Reef trust or the Standard oil or any
other illegal combination.
AS for salt Lake it is fortunate
enough to be exempt from the general
ruIe thanks to the Morris administra-
,ion which provided for additional fire
.,,,inn7ept and a water supply which
invure the maximum Of fire protection
Not only that, the wide streets and
annie space in the blocks Of Salt Lake
and other Utah towns, guarantee pro-
tection against CONGREGATIONS better

MEMORIAL DAY.

With dimmed eyes gazing backward
over the long years that have elapsed
since the Great War closed. the veter-
ans OF the Grand Army today call to
mind the heroic dead who fought and
suffered and sacrificed that the nation
might live. Few are living who bore
arms in the conflict, and for most of
them the battle OF life is approaching
the last bivoUac, the weary march is
drawing TO a close. For them the spIen-
did memories Of Shiloh and Vicksburg.
of Gettysburg and Lookout Mountain.

His country. his comrades, with never
thought
Of the lonely grave in the glades.
But in cIty's din, mid drum and fife,
With costly pOmp, TO a regal bier
With eleEy's loud proclaim a life
That is held by many, as brave anu
dear.
Not so for the private who fought and
By the stream in the winding slade,
No monument is raised to even tell,
No sign by hand is made.
But ever anon when the spring time
comes,
That grave appears fresh and green.
The birds sweet carol is heard at morn.
And no music more sweet 1 ween,
was ever sent forth by fife or drum,
No elegies fraught with truer praise
Than DER the tomb where the angels
come,
And natures voice in requiem raise.
The grandest anthem e'er sung by choir.
To the mighty nations Of all the earth
The tender pathos, sweet, low. then
Till it reaches the mansion, and lowliest
hearth.
And the silent dead, there sweetly rests,
A life so given, can ne'er be lost,
The soul in peace on Jesus breast,
Heeds not the tramp Of the unseen
hosts.

The bugIe sounded the alarm Of war.
And aroused q man from HIS sleep;
Dear wife, there's danger affair.""
And he arose with bound and leap.
In haste he gathered the accoutremsnts
With never a thought for moment Of
His country called, he answered the call
To his country his wife and children
dear.
He offered his love. his heart, his life,
He looked to his God for light,
Could he offer more than babes and wife,
All, all for his country's right.
BraveIy he marched to the bloody strife,
Fighting for Home and the land he
loved,
Liberty. Freedom. the Stars and Stripes,
Lo, the angels looked down from
above
They saw where he fell. pierced to the

As he gazed at the starry sky;

GIVES MORAN A cINcH.

Having arranged matters so there can
be no competition in the paving Of Salt
Lake. P. J. Moran has the city exactly
where any intelligent contractor would
like to have it. By the grace Of the
lone Republican and the Americans"
and Democrats alike in the council, he
has had the lowest bid on paving re-
jectsd and the whole matter ordered re-
opened. He has, moreover, cleared the
field Of the only contractors who in any
way interfered with his monopoly and
is now in position to charge what he
pIeases, do the work when he pleases
and presumably to do Il 20 suit his
own notion Of the way work should be
done.
Just what motives were behind the
action OF the Democrats does not ap-
pear though there is a strong suspicion
that they wanted to postpone the
whole paving business for at least a
year longer. The Americans" Joined
in Moran's game Of strangIing compe-
tition for the evident purpose Of Civ
ing Moran a monopoly and insuring
them a continuance of his potent poll
teal influence in campaign times, and
for such other considerations as may
be supposed to govern a reform party
headed by A. J. Davis and T. r. Black.
Meanwhile the people on the streets
affected may continue without pave
ment. the general public may wallow in
mud during the winter and strange IN
dust the remaining months whenever
they have occasion to travel in that
part Of town.
Moran has carried his point. What
more could any "reformeT" ask?

Instead Of giving Salt Lake the re-
duction to which it is entitled. the fire
insurance companies win graciously re-
frain from raising rates and permit in
surers to go right along on the old
basis.

OF course Moran hates to put the
city and its property-owners to the ex-
Taondmary expense Of re- advertising
its paving bids and the trouble Of de-
laying the work a year or so. But,
II the council is foolish enough to ask
for competition, and other contractors
are foolish enough to bid lower than
Moran, what is there left for him to do
but upset the bids? The council will
know better next time and give the
work to Pat without all this fuss and
feathers.

cHIcAGo's MEAT INSPECTION.

The announcement that the president
will insist on the Beverage amendment
TO the agricultural bill providing for
government inspection Of the Chicago
packing houses and their products is
Of the widest interest here. Inciden-
tally It calls to mind the scandal over
the commissary supplies for the army
during the Spanish war and indicates
General Miles position at that time as
thoroughly as he could wish.
For years, AMI particularly since
Gen. Miles exposed the rottenness Of
the beef furnished the army. there has
been a widespread suspicion that the
Beef Trust had more sins TO account
for than the robbery of live stock ship
peTs and consumers of meat. The sus-
picion has been confirmed by publica-
tiOns Of facts regarding the inspection
and sIaughtering Of diseased animals.
reports from meT in position to know
what they were talking about. With
in a month. one Of the ''1nuck-rake"
men charged the largest packing house
in Chicago specifically with marketing
diseased products and challenged the
concern to sue him for libel, but the
challenge has not teen accepted.
Now comes the president and threat
ems TO give out the reports of govern
nent Investigations II the packers per
sist in their opposition % the pending
legislation The contents of these re-
ports must be startling IN their reveIa-
tons since the presidents statement
says ne is Ioath to make them public
for fear Of their effect on the live stock
industry Of the country.
Whatever the outcome, It is plain
that the consumers Of meat have had
their health and lives imperiIed by the
the packers for the sake Of the money
to be made out OF unheaIthfuI products
and the time for a reckoning is at
hand. If full justice is done the Beef
trust somebody in high position with
the packing houses will go to the peni-
Tertiary for a long term at hard labor

city's GOOD Investment.

Father Knickerbocker has been very
successful with all his real estate ven
lures. but never more so than in the
case OF Central park. Less than half
a century ago the present Central park
was a waste OF rocks and swamps. The
city OF New York obtained control OF
the territory and issued bonds TO the
amount Of 100000 for the acquisition
OF the land Bonds to the amount OF
&, 100. 900 were issued at the same time
for the improvement Of the Central
park. AS this improvement progressed
other bonds for sl.725.OOO. known as
Central park bonds" were issued. and
Etill more we're sold for the building of
the arsenal In the Central park and
for the reservoir there. bringing up
the total amount OF cost TO the city OF
the Central park to $12.5OO.O00. This
was the first cost" states the Sun.
and an additional sum OF s2,50O.OOO has
been expended for construction and
improvement Of the Metropolitan Mu-
eeum of Art, the One Hundred and
Tenth street and Eighth avenue en-
trance and sundry park buildings. In
ell s15,O00,00O has been expended by
the people Of New York for the acQui-
eition and improvement OF Central
park. The assessed value OF the land
Included within the boundaries OF Cen
tral park is now s1S5.OOO.OOO. AS a
matter of fact. the land included with
