ment and controlling it's operations.
It's mighty forces are dominating the
policies of the states 1t has been so
used to secure exceptional privileges
and to trample upon the rights Of the
public it has so tainted the instru-
mentalities of government, that it has
strained the patient forbearance Of
the people and invited spirit of retail
iation that cannot fail to be disas-
trous. The arrogance and abuse Of
it's power is the deadly cancer that
Is eating into the very heart Of our
body polite, and pealing the death
knell Of equality. In this mad race
for the accumulation of wealth
it is not to be wondered that the
private citizen is disturbed, for he nev-
er knows what cherished right may be
endangered by existing monopolies, or
by schemers in search of valuable
franchises
We have but to take a second look in
order to see what was hopeful and
glorious in our condition, is now op-
posed and confronted by avarice and
greed. The legislatures have so long
habitually and constantly betrayed the
trust reposed in them, that it seems
as if they had forgotten their purpose
and nature. Instead of protecting and
promoting the civil happiness of man,
they have been favoring corporate
and individual wealth. They have CIV
en- away valuable franchises to pri-
vate corporations for little or no com
pensation; they have excepted them
from taxation and thrown the burden
Of support upon the wage-earner; they
have permitted trade consultations to
control prices and defeat honest com
petition; and by a failure to exercise
stringent visitorial powers they have
enabled corporate enterprises to "wa-
ter" their stock and perpetrate glaring
frauds upon the public. Such a sale
Of legislation for private advantage,
thereby enriching some and impover-
ishing others, is shameful violation
Of the plain principles of justice.
Undoubtedly in the development of
civilization and in the advancement Of
prosperity certain rights of the individ-
ual must yield to the demands of the
general good, but it cannot be just
that the fundamental rights shall be
sacrificed for the few or the many.
If free institutions are to live, class
legislation must be repressed The
state exists for the general welfare Of
all it's citizens. 1t knows or ought to
know no classes. It's laws should be
so framed and so administered that
each citizen shall enjoy an equality of
its blessings, and sustain an equality
Of it's burdens.
Not only legislation but the admin
istration of the law has been for sale.
Not criminals alone, but men of wealth
and standing have been buying men to
neglect the discharge of their duty.
BY the steady prostitution Of our judi
cial institutions, We have made it al
most impossible to convict or punish
criminals who have money or infiuen-
tial friends. In recent railroad ac-
cident twenty-five precious lives were
lost through the criminal negligence Of
the officials. The coroner summoned
these men to appear before his court,
but his order was defed. Instead of

COAL DEAL WILL
BENEFIT OGDEN
Independent Supply for Indus
tries Which Have Been Suf-
ferlng This Winter.

The purchase OF the Blairtown, wyo..
coal mines by Ogden capitalists appears
to be a shrewd move on the part of those
interested in the deal. Those who are as
ISOLATED i'm the transaction are likewise
associated with many OF the foremost
industries Of the state, which have suf-
fered on account of the coal shortage of
the last two years In view of this fact
IL is claimed that the purchase of the
wyoming mine and the determination to
place the same in commission was in
spired by a resolve to overcome a similar
condition in the future.
AS announced previously. those identi-
lied with the purchase of the coal lands
are David Ecclcs. e. w. Nibley. II. II.
Rolapp and the Browning brothers These
men are also affiliated with the Ogden
Rapid Transit. the Amalgamated Sugar.
the Utah Smelling. the Tintic Smelling.
and other companies. At least the first
two named concerns have been up against
the coal shortage good and hard during
the present season. Both have been
forced 10 suspend operations on several
occasions and II can readily be seen why
the men largely interested in the welfare
of these industries should desire to secure
an independent coal supply.
