D0UBTFULl CERTAINLY.

The Tribune deprecates the fact that
Utah companies are going out OF the
state to organize and file their articles
Of Incorporation. Citing two specific
cases OF the kind which have come
under It's recent notice II says!
This Illustrates IN it's way a tendency
that has been manifest and occasional
ly marked for some years past, TO In
corporate Utah Enterprises In other
states. The transfer of the incorpora-
lions from Utah ms In some OF the
prominent mining companies, has been
notorious and there Is no abatement
OF this tendency"
What a masdueradlng old hyprocrite
the Tribune is any way it Will be OBJ
served that 1t characterizes the tend
ency OF Utah companies fling their
articles Of Incorporation In other states,
as notorious" 1t also says that such
a course is, a, best, of doubtful util-
iiy.' Does the shameless process eyad-
Ing sheet forget that 1t ala that very
thing Itself. Does II think for moment
that The public has forgotten that when
it REoRGAN1zED ii Went 10 West
Virginia for that purpose, FILED IT'S
ARTICLES under the laws OF another
state. then snealSed back home under
the cover of night and FILED A COPY
in the office OF the Secretary of State
In this city. There Is not much else to
say on the matter, That 1t is 'notori-
ous' the Tribune itself declares, and
that It Is Of doubtful utility are words
of it's own designation, but why 1t should
seek legal advantage that II would
deny to other interpretations, only cum
ming and crafty minds like its own can
comprehend. There was one prime pur-
pose the Tribune had In launching It's
organization in far off state, and that
was to evade court entanglements just
as much as possible and. at the same
time, make 1t as difficult as II could
for lltigants with plants against, 1t to
obtain redress. West Virginia is almost
across the continent and no one doubts
that the Organs articles would have
been filed in Hndoostan II by SO doing,
they could have been kept within the
pale OF legal requirements. Again we
say, what an old hypocrlte the Tribune

THE POLICE SCANDAL.

one OF the pTides of a city should he
her provision for preserving the peace
and maintaining law and order. To
enjoy that distinction she must have
men at the head who stand for honor
and integrity, men whom gold cannot
tempt or Influence buy. How much
better 1t would be for Salt Lake just
now II her citizens had fun confidence
in those who preside over and direct
the police department. But that is I'M
possible. Its odor is bad--its reputa
tiou ruinous. There has been so much
OF suspicion and scandal attaching to 1t
during the present administration that
the little respect II had has pretty
nearly vanished. When there is even
probable ground for charges like those
that have been made so frequently
the past few months against the chief,
and when after official inquiry 1t has
been determined that he should be pro-
secuted, and his arrest has twice fol-
lowed, II is manifest that there Is
something wrong and that new deal
should be had. The word Of a con-
fessed gambler should not be too read
ily accepted. but II IL Is corroborated
by overwhelming testimony. 1t is time
TO act. 1t begins to look as II though
that time had just about arrived In
Salt Lake. When buuco men say they
are welcomed into our midst and given
to understand as they assert they have
been. that they may operate unnno-
Tested here then Is all security gone,
and n day OF lawlessness come. That
sort of thing must not be tolerated
in Utah. Whether the charge OF con-
spiracy now made against the heads
of the police department be estab-
lished or not, there should be a change
in its personnel There has been so
much In the way of damaging allega-
ton concerning the chief officials that
their usefulness 70 the public has been
reduced TO the minimum.

FIRST IN COMMAND.

Joseph s. Wells. careful. conscientious
and capable man OF affalrsl Hats of
to him, Heis no longer second in com.
mnnd He has been officially promoted
to first place in the management of a
ten million dollar corporation. and as
such is the general manager OF the
Utah Light & Railway company. re-
Gently transferred to L. II, Hartman
and associates OF New York.
For seventeen years he has been iden-
tilted with the street railroad interests
of this city, and knows them as no Oth-
er man knows them. Every detail of
their evolution. from the old mule car
days TO the present, are familiar to him.
He can come more nearly mastering the
situation OF the present and immediate
future than any one who could be
named. His selection is but another
example of the foresight so frequently
displayed in such matters by Mr., Ban
croft. That the latter must have been
entirely satisfied with Mr. Wells CON
duct OF affairs as acting general man
ager is demonstrated in the honor or
making him the actual head OF the COM
pany. A great deal OF money is 10 be
expended In Salt Lake this year and
next In the improvement of the transit
and lighting system Of the city. 1t is
said that the sum Will far exceed a
million dollars. Only the big captains
OF industry appreciate the magnitude
OF such improvements. and they alone
comprehend the full importance of hav-
ing a man OF Mr.. Wells caiber and
probity at the head or the work. Wheri
the money shall be spent and the inn

OF an investigating committee to see

SALTON SEA AND NEVADA.

The salton sea is still furnishing
abundant material FOR theories. AS
heretofore set forth in these col
umns the claim has been tena-
ciously advanced that this new
body OF water in the desert regions
OF Southern California is the cause OF
the increased rainfall in that section,
the greater part OF Nevada, and have
even extended over the major portion
OF Utah. This idea has been pretty ef-
fectually combatted by meteorologists
who have made careful study of the
question. They say that a dozen such
seas could not be responsible for the
augmented precipitation. What then
is the cause? Their reply is that It is
nothing more nor less than return
OF the long expected wet cycle The
atmosphere, they say, has been absorb
Ing extra moisture from the Pacific
law not yet we'll understood, and this
has been distributed all over the west
ern states just as has always been the
case in the so-called wet cylc" years.
But the Nevada Legislature has made
up it's mind to accept the first mem
toned theory. II wants the sea to re-
main; II Is anxious that 1t should even
grow larger. 1t feels certain that II Is
being made the beneficiary of an added
rainfall by reason OF its existence Ac-
cordingly 1t has adopted joint reso-
luton asking President Roosevelt to
use his good offices 10 preserve and per-
petuate the Salton Sea by allowing
constant flow from the Colorado river,
Its sole source of supply, to go into IL.
Down In Arizona. too. there Is a grow
ing belief that that state will receive
benefit from the permanency OF the sea.
In fact 1t unhesitatingly accepts the ex
PLANTATION that 1t has already done so.
