that needs railroads for its prosperous
development, lie waiting the advent of
the iron horse. The railroads have
asked for nothing but fair treatment
at the hands of the people of the state
If they are given that treatment, and
candor compels the statement that
they have been fairly treated I'm the
past. they will continue their work Of
development. The time may come,
after the railroads have covered the
state with a network of lines. when
some sort Of just and reasonable regu-
lation may be necessary. The railroad
men themselves do not dispute this.
But for a long time to come Utah
should do nothing calculated TO dis
courage railroad building.

|, GOOD APPOINTMENT.

The selection of the Rev. Z. \. Simp-
kin ;o be juvenile judge for salt Lake
i7 excellent. and The Herald hopes that
ne may see his way clear 20 accept the
place
Mr.. Simpkin is one Of the busiest
men in Salt Lake City. His duties as
pastor Of the Phillips Congregational
church and in various other lines of
helpful endeavor occupy pretty much
ALI of his time. But it has been said
that the man who is busiest can al
ways find time to do something more.
Only the man who has little TO do, and
does that little very poorly. is always
obliged 10 decline other work on the
plea that he is too busy. We believe
Mr.. Simpkin will make an ideal judge
Of the Juvenile court should he decide
to accept the appointment.
He combines the qualities of sound
Judgment, human sympathy, endless
patience and boundless good nature.
He knows the boy and girl character
as few men know it. Although a min
lister of the gospel. there is nothing
aUstere about Simpkin. His gospel is
the gospel of sunshine, his God is a God
who loves and smiles upon little chill
dren. There is no cant about the man.
Offenders who may be brought before
him may be sure in advance that he
viii treat them fairly. that he will be

has found it so. Rarely has a man
been bounded as Brown has been
bounded; rarely has a public officer
been subjected To more vicious and
more unjust attacks. And it is painful
TO remember that large proportion of
the attacks emanated from individuals
from whom Judge Brown had every
reason to expect cordial support. Judge
Brown made mistakes. but his heart
was In his work and he gave the court
standing and an influence for good
that will always rebound to his credit.

A SENSIBLE VIEW.

In the News. published at Danville,
Ky. we find the following sensible
statement;
We see that some gentleman in this
state is running for the legislature on
the platform of a 2-cent a mile railroad
fare. He may he a man of great abil-
ity, but, In our humble Judgment, he is
greatly misinformed i'm regard 10 the
railroad conditions in this state. We
believe in catching the hog before You
stick It. If there is one thing that
Kentucky needs more than anything
else it is railroads. II is certain that a
2-cent a mile rate viii not be any in
ducement TO them to enter and develop
this state. We have a vast amount of
undeveioped territory that is only
awaiting the advent of railroad facili-
ties 10 open il up Ia the world II may
be all right to enact a statute in some
states requiring the railroads not TO
collect more than . cents a mile for
passengers, where the population is
very dense, but we would like to see
how a railroad company could make
its passenger trafie pay through the
mountains OF Kentucky with a 2-cent
rate. After we get all the railroads we
need it will be time enough to require
the 2-cent rate"
Kentucky is a far more denseiy pom
ulated state than Utah. It has a great
many more miles OF railroad. There
are tracks that cross the state from
the north 10 the south. and from the
east 10 the west All OF the railroads
are doing a good business. Yet there
is no doubt about the correctness of
the News statement that Kentucky
needs more railroads. 1t does need
them. Nor is there any doubt that
2-cent a mile law would have the effect
Of checking railroad development.
What is true of Kentucky is true in
much larger measure OF Utah. II is
possible 10 go through miles upon miles
Of rich country in this state without
seeing a railroad track or hearing
locomotive whistle. Thousands upon
thousands Of acres OF land. TO say

TO KILL THE YAQUIS.

Pedro Alvarado, the Mexican peon
who became, through his discovery Of
a silver mine. a millionaire many times
over. once offered to pay his country's
national debt and the proposition was
declined. Alvarado's latest offer is
viewed with more favor by the high
officials of Mexico. He proposes to give
the sum Of S1O.OOOOOO to the govern
ment, the money TO be used in exter-
minating the Yaqui Indians who, from
time to time. harass the ruTales and
disturb dwelleTs on or near the terri
tory they claim as their own.
The Mexican minister of war has
agreed to raise a regiment at AIvara-
dos expense, to place Mexican officers
in command of II and send it against
the Yaquis. 4 slight hitch has been
reported in the negotiations. due to the
fact that AIvarado wants TO recruit
the regiment i'm Arizona and New
Mexico among the lighting men Of
those territories. This, because he ap-
preciates the fact that the Indians are
desperate fighters and that they will
be hard to exterminate. It is under
stood, though. that Alvarado will con-
cede the minister's point.
\ writer in the magazine supplement
Of the Chicago Record Herald is au-
thority for the statement that the
Yaquis are not altogether bad. as some
people would have us believe. While
they have a reputation for fighting TO
the death they do not fight entirely for
the love Of fighting. Says the writer:
What the facts do show is that they
still retain their clan organization
largely because Of their intelligence
and industry, and that every now and
then when they are crowded too close
ly by their Mexican neighbors they
fight fiercely for what they deem their
rights. Their home is in the central
part of Sonora a state lying just south
of Arizona.
"In 1740-1 there was a great uprising
Of the YaqUis. but they were defeated
in two great battles and had to sub
nit. In 1925 they revolted under Ban
deras against heavy taxation. and after
three years fighting they got material
concessions from the government BAN
deras headed another rising in 1882.
but lost his life in its progress. The
next uprising was in 1SS4-7. due to en-
croaChments on the lands of the tribe.
and the present uprising began in 1900
on account of the eneroachments of
the gold hunters.
They are terrible fellows. these
Yaquis, and i'm the intervals between
their wars they cultivate corn, cotton.
beans and tobacco, and they tend to
their herds. or work as teamsters, min
ers and pearl divers for their neigh
bOrs, while the women show their skill
as expert weavers. But they are on
the edge of civilization. and that's all
there is to be said. The full $40, 900
viii probably be needed"
Senior Alvarado might possibly nut
his money TO some better use, say. in
helping the peon brotherhood from
which he sprang.

BanteI Must Return
SS5S8.03 to Treasury
Claim Is Made That He Illegally
Paid Out That Sum as
Counsel Fees

Grand Juror James T. Gordon. ap-
pointed q committee OF one OF the
Grand jury TO investigate the depart
ments OF the City Treasurer. Auditor
ana Tax Collector. yesterday personally
delivered to Treasurer Bantel a letter
notifying him that he must at once re-
turn TO the city treasury $685. 93.
which he paid TO Attorney Cleveland
Dam as counsel fees in connection with
the collection Of the collateral inherit
ance tax.
Gordon declares that pressure has
been brought TO bear to have Bantel in
dicted, but that If the restoration OF
FUNDS is made as directed, no such
action will be taken. In case Bantel
refuses 10 obey the order directing pay
ment his indictment may follow.
In 1905 the Legislature enacted a
statute empowering the Treasurer TO
employ an attorney 10 assist IN the col
lection Of the collateral inheritance
tax. and to pay him a certain per-
centage OF collections as compensation.
This is In opposition to the require
ments Of the charter. which, il is
claimed, take precedence. Gordon de-
mands that the money so paid out be
refunded Bantel was not ready with
an answer yesterday, but stated that
he would consult sis attorney and
state his position to the Grand Jury
within few days. GOrdOn's letter fol-
lows:
