GAIN IN POSTAL RECEIPTS
Showing for 1905 Is a Heavy
Increase Over That of
1904 in Salt Lake,

Postal receipts in Salt Lake for 1905
exceeded those Of 1904 by $25, 994.16. or
more than 1873 per cent. These figures
were compiled by Postmaster Arthur
L. Thomas yesterday. Following is a
comparative statement for the year:

The only place where a falling off
was shown was in second class post
age, where the decrease was $1O7.91.
The increase in stamp sales for 1905
amounted to S26,02014 Had one two

1,301,007 more letters were mailed from
Salt Lake in 1905 than in 1904. OF
course, however, all the stamps were
not used on letters.

candidate for state treasurer, was born
In Chicago in 1877, and came to Mime
sofa with his parents and settled in
Slayton, where he has since resided.
He received his early education in the
village school at Slayton. He then en-
tered the Central high school of Min
neapolis and after graduating there
matriculated at the State University
and took the full arts course, and
graduated In 1899. He then entered
the state bank of Slayton and spent
three years in commercial activities
Having determined upon commercial
career he realized the Importance of
the best training for his life work, and
went East in 1902 and entered Harvard
university, and took a course in law
and graduated in 1905. He then re-
turned west and resumed his career as
a business man at Slayton. In addi-

System Of Taxation.

"But the burden will be heavy, not
Withstanding all that can be done in
this way, unless we improve our
methods Of taxation. We have now
in operation a system which came
into existence when business condi-
tions were much different from what
they are at present. New forms Of
wealth have been created and accu-
mutations are held in shape which
were then unknown and which our
laws. contain no adequate provisions
for reaching. The result is that
property of one sort is overtaxed, and
property Of another sort escapes en-
tirely.
"For these reasons ] am in favor Of
the proposed tax amendment to the
state constitution which is to be voted
upon at the coming election. If
adopted, it will enlarge the powers Of
the legislature very materially, and
will make it possible to enact reve-
nue. law in harmony with modern sci.

IF we got no further the first year

COLE SOUNDS THE KEYNoTE E
The Railroad Question and Other
State Issues Candidly Dis
CuSsed.

"While there are certain additions
to, and changes in, our rate laws,
which, it seems to me. are advisable,
there are already upon our statute
books laws which, when vigorously en-
forced, will afford very substantial re-
lief, and it is. the duty of the states
executive to urge that those laws be
Justly and honestly enforced. Certain
ly, the executive is clothed with great
power in this direction, and it is
rightly expected of him that he will
fearlessly and energetically exercise
that power.
81 believe that most Of the freight
rates now collected in this state are
altogether too high, and that the rail-
roads of the state are making too
much money, and feel that it is my
duty to state that, if elected, shall
do all in my power to cause them to
be reduced to a point where they are
equitable to both carrier and shipper.
Discretionary Powres.
1.-The specific duties which the law
imposes upon the states executive,
which affect the people generally, are
numerous and weighty, and his = dis
cretionary powers in that direction are
very great. There was no law which,
in express terms, declared that Presi-
dent Roosevelt should insist upon ac-
tion being brought against trusts, but
he exercised what had been treated
as a. discretionary power, and the re-
suit is, the great trust question is be-
ing brought before the courts for ad-
justment, to the very great benefit of
the general public. Through the ex-
ercise of his discretionary powers, the
Sherman antitrust law, which had
lain for many years as a dead letter
upon our national statutes, had the
.. breath of life breathed into it.. That
which was an inert and worthless
statute is now a living force, before
which all men have learned to bow
in respect and obedience. = Ssf5,r -
For many years the Republican
party has been enacting laws giving
our railroad and warehouse commits
sion authority to properly adjust rail-
road rates. The result is we have as
good, if not the best, laws OF any
state in the Union upon that subject.
MiD resota was a pioneer and leader
in this class Of Legislation.
1.-TWO or more men living Il the
same place engaged In the same bust
ness are quite likely each to first
seek to know that neither one has the
advantage in rates over the other.

.'T he laws off our state not only give

'4T4,e practice Of giving free passes

to the enactment of law fixing a
