Secretary Garfield, who asked him to
accept the office, knew Mr.. Pierce of
old, knew his integrity. his ability as a
lawyer and his high standing as citi-
zen; and he chose him because he
thought him the best man in all his
wide acquaintance to assume great re-
sponsibilities.
After Mr.. Pierce had consented to
accept, the senators from Utah were
asked If there was any objection to
the appointment. and very naturally
said there could be none. That was the
extent of political influence in the Sc
lection. so that Mr.. Pierce has the
unique satisfaction of knowing that he
has been honored for himself and not
because of any political pull, sem
atorial, congressional or presidential
1t was no little sacrifice for the ap-
pointee to accept his commission. The
salary, $4,000 a year, is much less than
his professional income, his business
interests here are large and may suf-
fer by his absence, his social connec-
tions made through years of residence
will have to be sacrificed for life
among strangers, so that nothing but
the honor of the work and the response
to an urgent call for public service
could have determined his acceptance.
The state and the country are to be
congratulated that a man of Mr.
Pierce's attachments has been chosen
and is willing to accept the call.

poLITics AND REAL ESTATE.

There has been a decided falling off
in realty transfers for several months.
The approach of the municipal cam
paign has brought a season of inactivi-
ty. Men who are prepared to buy real
estate are studying the political situa-
ton. So are those who have real es-
tate to sell. The prospective buyer
feels that he can purchase the property
he desires much lower If the city passes
into the control of the church. But he
is likewise satisfied that there would
not be the same incentive to own real
estate in Salt Lake if it were known
that the old-time spirit of listlessness
were to possess the city. - Is there a
business man. a professional man, an
artisan, a laborer, a clearinghouse
keeper, a hotel or restaurant man, an
owner OF real estate who can afford to
take chances with his vote this year,"
Mr.. Newhouse, who is spending
more money on buildings, who has put
as much or more money into Salt Lake
real estate than any other citizen, has
answered these disingenuous questions
very forcibly. He has declared for the
election of the Democratic ticket,
headed by r. P. Morris, and he has
accepted the craftsmanship of the ex-
ecutive and finance committee for the
campaign. He - knows Mr.. Morris,
knows his attitude on the question of
municipal progress. knows his record
a rna ar
a man. And he is supporting the tick
ct not alphabetically or anonymously
but aggressively. out in the open.
Such ''Hstlessness" as there is in the
real estate market is easily explained
by glance at the tax rate and the
condition of the city's finances. Mr..
Newhouse, like every other property
owner III Salt Lake, understands real
estate values and the effect upon them
of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. i'm city office.
Like every other investor, he knows
that property incomes and property
values depend very largely on the net
earnings after taxes and other expenses
are paid. He knows that property
cannot find tenants at a profitable fig
ure if the income from rentals is eaten
up by taxes due to extravaganza or
dishonesty in public office. Neither the
millionaire nor the small householder
is going to invest in real estate if taxes
are to be so nearly confiscatory as to
make the revenue merely nominal.
Taxes for city purposes have been
raised in both years of the "Ameri-
can" administration. 1t is certain al
ready that the rate will have to be
raised again next year to meet a deficit,
whether the Americans succeed
themselves or not. 1t is also certain
that they will be raised higher If the
Americans" win than IL Morris is
made mayor.
The people of Salt Lake know what
the Morris administration did in wise
economy and efficient management,
and they know what the Americans"
have done in extravagant expenditure
and disastrous financial methods. That
is why Morris chances for election
seem so bright, and 1t is the chief rea-
son why the administration is making
a desperate losing fight to retain Of
fee
