AN UNsAVoRY ORDINANCE.

An inspection bill. so-called, has
been recommended by Black and Crab
tree OF the council committee, which
is in substance an ordinance to pro-
vide a rich rake-off for electrical sup
ply houses and all others interested
in charging the general public two or
three prices for electrical work.
In set terms the ordinance prescribes
the most exacting specifications pos
sibie for all electrical construction.
whether the class OF construction nee
essarily requires costly material and
labor or not. The rules regarding in
spectiOn will make it possible for a
few contractors to monopolize practi-
caliy all the work done In the city and
charge such prices as suit them. II
this inspector is OF their choosing, &c
would be altogether likely they can
harass competitors or unfrfsndiy pon-

tractors and make genuine competf-
ton impossible.
In a word, the ordinance Is drawn up
for the benefit of special interests al
ready working under an agreement
that would not stand publicity and
there is strong suspicion that graft
is the chief inspiration of the measure
from start to finish. There is no more
reason why such an ordinance should
be countenanced for a moment than
there would be for giving Black all
the harness contracts the city may
happen to have. There is no public
demand for legislation of the kind,
the only people to benefit will be cleo
trical supply concerns that already
charge extortionate prices for labor
and supplies. and the councilmen in
charge of the measure are pushing it,
not because it is to be of any real
benefit TO the public, but because some
of their party friends are behind it,
The whole business is thoroughly bad
and ought to be killed when the orii-
nance reaches the council.

OLDEST TROOP IN AMERICA
The Descendant of the Famous Phil
adelphia Light Horse of 1774.
philadelphia North American)

fPhiladel pfld North Ameflcdf.)
Oldest organization in the United
States that has maintained a continu-
Gus active military existence, having
taken part in every war, from the Rev
olutiOn to the one with Spain.
Such in brief, is the proud record of
the First troop, Philadelphia City cav
airy. organized November II, IVA, by
twenty-eight young members of the
first families as the Troop of Light
Horse, pledged to the side of the COL
onies in the inevitable conflict with
Great Britain.
Most of the present company have
already won their spurs by Spanish
war service and subsequent strike
duty.
They wear but slightly modified, as
a full dress uniform. the military garb
of the troop of 1924, and they are
proud of it. But they are perfectly at
home in plain blue and khaki.
Since its foundation, nearly 1873 years
ago, the troop has enrolled 1854 mem
bers, all. according to an unbreakable
rule enlisted as privates and within
that time nineteen captains have been
chosen from its own ranks. There are
now 212 members on the active and re-
tired list.
The troop was in service as a volun-
independence Tt paraded, under COM
mand of Captain Markoe, in a review
by General Washington. June 20. 1775,
and took part, under Captain Norris,
in all military operations in the vicin-
ity of Philadelphia. 1t was engaged
in the battles of Trenton. Princeton.
Brandywine and Germantown, and was
honored by General Washington with
personal letter of thanks in 1777 and
again in 1880.
In the second war with Great Britain
the troop was i'm service. under Cap
tain Ross, for four months in 1914 in
Maryland.
In the war with Mexico the troops
did not take part as a body, as no vol
unteer cavalry were accepted.
In the civil war the troop. under
command of Captain James. was the
only volunteer cavalry accepted under
the first call of President Lincoln
1t took part in the Porto Rico ex-
petition under General Brooke and was
the first volunteer troop to be landed
on the island.

AS TO CIRCULATION.

One of The Herald's more or less
esteemed contemporaries is Willing
away the dog-days in a discussion of
comparative circulation. 1t called loud
ly, somewhat hopefully. for figures
from the other newspapers of Salt
Lake, and among others cited The Her
aid to appear in court and tell how
many papers it was circulating.
Just to appease this contemporary
wild yearning for information and as
suage the pains that threatened, a de-
tailed statement was furnished show
ing the press run day by day of The
Herald for the whole year. This in
formation was exactly such as is fur
nished any inquirer: it had been sent
to every newspaper directory in this
country, it was of record with all the
large advertising agencies and it was
wanted TO be shown.
Nor is this all: The Herald has
standing offer to let any of its COM
petitOrs, any advertiser. any citizen
drop in and see where the papers go.
how many of them are free, how many
are paid-anything anybody could want
to know about a newspapers circula-
ton. This offer is not new: il has
been part of The Herald's policy ever
since the present management was in
stituted. Unlike some of its competi-
tors. The Herald believes an advertiser
has a right TO know as much about
circulation he buys as he would TO
know the quality of coffee he buys.
Commercially circulation is a COM
modify and the man who buys it with
out knowing what he gets is a proper
subject for a gold-brick sanitarium.
From press room to mail room, from
carriers lists to newsdealers and from
postage bills and express bills to the
actual cash receipts from circulation
and the amount of print paper con-
sumed, every detail is open to inspec-
ton by advertisers. competitors or
what-nOt.
Incidentally, The Herald rises 20 re-
mark that some of its competitors are
this kind of information. Without
suggesting the motives that may in
spire such mOdesty, The Herald joins
in the wish that the advertisers of
Salt Lake would make an investiga-
ton of all the newspapers and their
circulation. Such an investigation
should be thorough; it ought to be
made by expert accountants under the
direction of a committee of advertis-
ers, and the expenses ought to be di-
vided pro rata among the newspapers.
II should show the paid and unpaid
copies, newsdealers' returns, advertis-
ers' copies; it should show the quality
as well as the quantity of circulation;
the geographical distribution and every
other detail that enters into the value
Of circulation as related TO advertis-
ing.
II such an investigation can be
made. and made thoroughly, The Her
aid will be very glad to join in meet
ing the cost and furnishing its share
of the data required. There is nothing
unselfish about the proposal, either.
because The Herald has an idea it
would about head the list of all the
Salt Lake publications, both in amount
and quality of circulation.

HITTINGIS VERY WEAK
Seven of the Slab Artists Are
i'm the ErrOrless Glass.
Philadelphia Leads i'm the Long
Range Smuggling.

ST. Louis, July 29.-The latest COM
pilation of National. league averages
shows still further decrease in bat
ting, as only two regular men and 'tw o
pitchers are in the 300 class. sRichey
OF the Phillies has the highest per-
centage, being 1915, and is followed
by Scanlon of the Superbas. These
men have played in but a dozen
games, however, and Hans Wagner of
the pirates is the real leader, with the
mark of 1921. Should he win first
hcnors again it will be the fifth time,
record never equalled. The big
shortstop is followed by Magee OF the
Phillies. Lumley, who was formerly
.2S7. Murray and Holly are doing the
best stick work for the Cardinals,
standing .257 and .252, respectively.
Although the Cubs had a slump with
the willow, they still lead in club bat
ting, with the percentage of .248, and
are points ahead of the Giants. The
Trolley Dodgers are still climbing and
are fifth, while the Cardinals have
dropped to last place, with the per-
centage CT .227.
Philadelphia leads in long range hit
ting, having $50 extra bases to their
credit, while McCloskey's men are
fifth in this respect.
Among the individuals, Wagner
leads the sluggers by wide margin,
while Murray is the best among the
Cardinals. Magee of the Phillies and
Hans Lobert of the Reds are tied for
base running honors, having purloin-
ed twenty-five bases so far, but are
being closely followed by Chance of
the Cubs. The Pirates have stolen by
far the most bases While the Reds
have the most sacrifice hits to their
credit. Shannon of the Giants is still
the best run-getter by a. big lead over
Strange of the same club. -
The Cubs lead in club fielding, with
the fine percentage of 1858, while the
Giants are second and the Cardinals
are in the last rut, with the mark of
.946.
Among the individual felders,
seven slab artists are in the errorless
class. Chicago and Pittsburg having
two each. .Bowerman still heads the
backstops, with the wonderful mark
of 1913. Noonan and Marshall of the
Cardinals rank well down, being 1858
and .9A6, respectively. CAMEL of the
Reds is the premier first sacker, hav-
ing the remarkab BILE percentage of
.996. Konetchey. is third, with the.
mark of 500, having made but two
errors. Richey of the. beat Eaters is
still the leader at second rbaSes~ but is
only 1 point ahead of Knabe of the
Philles, who is putting up a wonder,
full game. Tinker of the Cubs leads
the shortstops, with $50. while Holly
of the Cardinals is sixth. Steinfeldt
is still the boss third sacker, with the
swell mark of 1858. Byrne is sixth.
EummeII of the Brooklyn club has
perfect record in the outfie1d, but has
played in but a few games, and Tom
my Leach of the Pirates is the real
leader. Burnee, one of McCloskey's
latest men, ranks the highest among
centage of $50. 81 Murray is .945 and
Barry is .941. F-a. IS
