Residents of the most populous por-

A CLOSED TOWN.

Park City is a closed town, a eondi-
ton apparently without the sanction or
favor of the Record published there, for
in its last issue that paper says:
''Since gambling was stopped a week
ago the camp has certainly been on the
blink 1t was dull before, but since it
has been dead, and especially in the
evenings and at night. when everyone
seems to be at home and in bed by the
time the eurfew blows 1t is under
stood that one of our local attorneys
is going to petition the council for the
removal OF the city attorney and two
policemen, on the contention that there
is now no use for them. While the city
attorney must. of course. remain in Of
flee, it might be a good plan to get rid
OF a couple of the policemen. There is
certainly no need of them on the force,
especially while the camp is so quiet,
a regular village in fact. and as the city
will need some revenue to make up
what it loses on the gamblers and slot
machines. why not cut down ex-
penses?"
If simply enforcing the laws and Or
dinances in Park City has such a ben
eficial effect as indicated by the Rec
cTd, it is hard to understand why any
one should complain. 1t really is posi-
bic for town TO be prosperous, and its
people to be intelligent and progressive
though its saloons do close at a reason
able hour and it is within the bounds
a decent hour to be as good citizens as
those who remain UP all night and
enable saloon men to pay high licenses
and gamblers TO stand a monthly fine.

THE cANTEEN's ADJUSTMENT.

Those good people who favored the
abolition of the army canteen, the club
of the enlisted men at each post, may
gather some interesting conclusions
from Salt Lakes experience with and
without the institution. They viii find.
if they investigate impartialiy. that the
men who wish any social life are COM
PEELED to come down town for it, If as
often happens, they are addicted to the
use of liquor in any form, they are not
only compelled to come down town, but
they cannot patronize the very best
saloons. those without disorderly sur
rOundings, because the best saloons
The natural and inevitable result is to
throw the enlisted men into the worst
possible surroundings, where they are
fieeeed of their money whenever possi-
bic. and where their associations tend
to demOralize the morale Of the army
men.
1t is common experience to see
numbers Of the men down town after
pay day in these resorts and 10 hear
afterward that they have gotten into
trouble. BEING human, they take such
companionship and diversions as are
open to them: and being humanity weak
they suffer for it in every way.
Contrast these conditions with the

they were able to maintain frst-eIass

they found plenty of recreation at the
post without frequent and demoraliz-
ing trips to ,he city. No disinterested
person having the welfare of the army
or its rank and file at heart would ar
que that the abolition of the canteen
was either wise or just; and it is a Gu
rious commentary on the motives be-

The decrease in assessed values for
1898 was due TO the depression which
followed the collapse of properly in
that year. Even in 1892 the board of
education had reached the limit of its
levy for maintenance and salaries, 81
mills. and To keep the schools running
the school year was shortened and
teachers salaries were reduced to the
present low standards. The reduction
amounted TO a cut of 10 per cent in sal
aries. and the schools were open only
nine months instead of ten. The result
was a very heavy loss to the teachers,
because they not only got less per
month. but full months salary was
taken from their earning capacity.
Since then the assessed values have
slowly increased, but they are not yet
back to the total of 1892 Meanwhile
the school population of the city has
increased at a remarkable rate, particu-
larly during the past four or FIVE years,
so that the school board has been con-
frOnted with a heavy burden of ex-
pense for maintenance to meet the
larger hummer of pupils, though the
possibilities OF revenue are not as great
as they were fourteen years ago.
Stated in figures, the school popuIa-
ton of 1882 was 5000. while today it is
5000. or double the number. and the
assessed values are nearly $4,000. 900
less than when the school population
was only half what it is today. That is
to say, twice as many children have
TO be provided with teachers. although
the revenue is no greater for this pur-
pose.
II must be plain to everybody that
this condition cannot continue without
d sacrifice of the schools and a demon
alization of the teaching staff No one
is willing to see the educational system
Of the city suffer. and no one be-
grudges the means necessary for an
economical and efficient system. More
buildings have to be provided and the
board proposes to meet that emergency
by a bond issue; more money ought to
be provided for the teachers salaries
that they may be able to live at least
in comfort. and that talented men and
women may be induced to remain in
the service of the schools.
