THE BICYCLE ORDINANCE.

TO The Salt Lake Herald:
IN yCur issue of this date there appears
an editorial headed, a Hardship on BIZ
cYclers." After reading the same, one
would be led TO believe that at the in
tersectiOn OF every sidewalk sign should
be placed reading thus, For bicycles
only, pedestrians please take the streets.
As "a taxpayer, / should like to ask
The Herald what the sidewalks of this
city are for
Snail they be used for the purpose for
which they are set apart, or must they
he turned over to the bicycle fraternity
for practice runs, to enable them at
some future date TO appear on the Salt
Palace saucer track?
/ feel that the city council is entitled
To the thanks of the whole community for
passing the ordinance in question. which
prohibits riding of bicycles any of the
sidewalks in the city during the summer
months, and l venture to say that If a
vote were taken nine-tenths of the peO-
pie of this city would voice my Senti-
ments. 1t is true that there few streets
in this city that are in a bad condition,
but they are mostly in the district that
was restricted before the new ordinance
was passed As whole, the streets are
not in such a bad condition as some
would have Us believe. Take, for exam
pie, Fourth, Fifth Sixth and Seventh
East streets from Sixth South to the
Liberty park; these streets are kept in
good condition and yet 80 per cent of
the bicycle riders will use the sidewalks
instead of the street to the menace to
walks going TO and fro from Liberty
park and there is no doubt but that this
condition exists in other parts Of the
city. 1t is an old saying, There is a
place for everything and everything in
its place" Let the bicyclers use the
streets and the pedestrians the sidewalks
II. A. T.
The correspondent may possibly be
sincere and disinterested. On the face
of his letter it would be a fair guess
that he is own cousin TO one of the
councilmen who voted for the obnox-
ious bicycle ordinance. The streets
he names as being desirable rOadways
for bicycles are fairly smooth for car
riages and automobiles. and much bet
ter than a majority of the Inpaved
streets of the city. but that does not
alter the fact that the ordinance COM
pels the bicycler to ride in streets that
are next to impossible for their
wheels, or else take street car to and
from their work.
1t may be true, as the letter-writer
complains. that some of the sidewalks
have been utilized by foolish riders,

ADJUSTMENTS TODAY.
posT MoRTEM POLITICS.

Another hot day and still no surcease
from the sorrow of newspaper contro-
Nersy for Salt Lake.
Mid-July has come and with it the
season when most men yearn for a
rest from the interminable rag-chew-
ing of the cOntrOversialists, when d
newspaper without epithets for its
still the American" newspapers and
the SmOOt newspapers fill their col
umns with reflections on the honesty
of their political rivals, with pictures
of the total dcPravity of the people of
Utah, with long winded editorials cal
culated only To convince a long-suf-
fering public that the community
ought TO have a few frst-cIass funerals
and work the undertakes overtime
for the good of the commonwealth.
The journalistic garbage-dispenser
may have his place in the economy of
nature, just as the odOriferOus skunk
is supposed to have some occult use in
creation: but, like his prototype, the
JOui WIZ hNNOLOo MS NAiAAO Gin
space TO abuse of other people grows
obnoxious beyond endurance-partic-
ularly in the hot season.
The Herald wishes to renew its plea
for a rest from the discussion of Utah s
peculiar political problem, at least I'M
Ill Sept. 10, which will be early enough
for the next city campaign. Let the
distinguished editors talk about the
approach of Mars, the prospects of the
ultimate disappearance of the Great
Salt lake. the frivOHty of the peek-a-
boo waist or some other really impOr-
tant subject Let them debate the
choice of d gray hackle or a royal
cOachman as a lure for trout, but in
the name of humanity, let them move
the previous question on the inter
minable question as to whether Smoot
ought to have been seated or the
Americans" ought to be in Jail be-
cause the canny Scots were robbed OF
their thousands
These post-mOrtem debates never are
profitable, anyway, and a post-mortem
in July has about as little flavor to us
as a watermelon rind has at Christ
mas
Give US a rest!

ment puts all the streets I'm condition

fort, it is unjust to owners of wheels
who use them for real service and for
economy in expense TO compel them
to give up their wheels-for that is
what the ordinance means to most of

Obliges every owner of a wheel to buy

The smoothness with which the or

rise to a very strong suspicion that
some special interest was behind the
measure. Certainly there was no cry

RACING WITH DEATH.

One of the most remarkable achieve
ments recorded was the feat of Nazar-
TO, the Italian who won the grand prize
on the Dieppe course in France over
the fastest drivers of all nations. The
course is forty-seven miles in length,
ana ne made the ten laps in hours, 4G
minutes and SO seconds, or an average
speed for the entire six hours of zoe
miles per hour. The fastest average
ty-six miles.
Compared with the speed of railroad
trains, the performance of this single
machine on an open roadway, without
the advantage of rail supports, seems
almost incredible. Few trains attain
that maximum even for short dis
tanCes; no train has a schedule ap-
preaching this speed limit for any
length of time, and no regular train has
ever attempted TO maintain seventy
miles over such a distance as Navarro
Travelled
More than thirty machines started in
the race, but only six finished. The
conditions imposed included a limited
amount of gasoline on which the driver
was compelled to complete the course
or retire. Navarro not only finished
with his gasoline supply unexhausted
but he made the last lap in the fastest
time of his ten, going the forty-sever
miles at the rate of 40 seconds to this
mile or about "A miles an hour, or ovel
100 feet a second through the forty
seven miles.
While the achievement of the machine
is astonishing, it is not as remarkabl,
as the endurance and nerve of the mar
who drove it. Anybody who has TiddeT
in an automobile at fifty miles an hour
on a straightaway road knows that i
| is no job for a timid man; but NazarrC
went his seventy-mile gate for over siI
hours, with the possibility of death o.
| dangerous injury before him all tht
| time, and kept his nerve so completed!
that he finished faster than he began.

OPEN MARKETS.

The producer complains he
does not receive what he should
for his products, the consumer as
earnestly avows he pays more
than he should for what he con-
sumes.
These complaints usually are
based on truth. The producer is
justly entitled to receive for his
products what they bring on
sale in open market; the consum-
er should be compelled to pay no
more for any thing he buys than
what the article is worth on sale
i'll open market. An open market,
therefore, where the price of
commodities is determined by
the economic law Of supply and
demand is for the best interests
of both producer and consumer.
There are two things essential
to an open market: There must
be no intervention of a third
party between the producer and
the consumer; the producer must
be able TO get his products to
market quickly, safely and cheap
ly. Where these conditions do
not obtain there can not bea free,
fair and open market governed
only by supply and demand.
If third parties come between
the producer and the consumer,
whether as agents, commission
merchants or outright purchasers
on their own account, they must
be paid for their services, or, if
spectators, they force artificial
and obstructive conditions upon
the business of buying and SELL
ing to the manifest detriment of
sale and purchase in fair and
open market.
If the.producer cannot get his
products to market easily and
cheaply he is compelled to keep
them at home or the consumer is
forced to pay a high price for his
purchases without any resulting
benefit to the producer.
The remedies for these un-
toward conditions are: First,
the producer must, as far as pos
sible, avoid middle-men by what
ever name they may be known
and deal directly with the man
who purchases for his own con-
sumption. Second: Both pro-
ducer and consumer must insist
on having good roads, open and
BILE rivers, and reasonable
freight rates by rail.
Since all the people are includ-
ed in the classes, producers or con-
it is apparent that those
things creating and maintaining
an open market is of vital interest
to every one, except to the sell
fish, mischievous few who seek
to enrich themselves by exploit
ing the necessities Of their fellow
men.
