Machine Measure Spells Doom of
District Attorneys.

The district attorneys office is prob
ably doomed, at least so far as the house
Is concerned.
a machine measure is in preparation
which proposes the immediate abolition of
the office Of district attorney. AS il is a
machineA measure, il Will probably go
through the house without trouble
What its fate viii be in the senate re-
mains to be seen.
II is contended that as the district at
torney's office was created by statute IL
can be abolished by legislative enact
ment. even 10 its abolition in the middle
OF the terms of the incumbents
How will we do it?" said a house men,
Der yesterday, repeating the question fired
at him. Easy enough. Suppose we re-
fuse to make an appropriation to pay
the salaries of district attorneys. do YOU
suppose any of them would hold onto his
job for long? That's the way we will
do IL.
IT am satisfied a majority of the mem
bers of the house are already committed
to the bill and that it will be passed in
one, two three order. The district at
torneys cost the state about $4,000 a year.

CALLS UPON COMMITTEES.
Speaker Joseph Gives Notice That
They Must Get Busy.

Speaker Joseph is anxious that the
waiting house get down to business He
exercised the prerOgative given him by
the new house rules for the first time
yesterday. giving notice 20 the judiciary
committee that report would be expect
ed from that committee next Monday on
all bills now pending before it,
IhuS far not a single bill has been re-
ported to the house from a committee
Speaker Joseph is not pleased with the
situation. He wants things done The
tenth day of the session-one-sixth of the
whole time allowed by the constitution
was passing.
When the aggressive speaker made his
announcement there was a ripple of com
ment throughout the chamber The no.
tee, while it applied TO the judiciary COM
mittee alone, was warning to other COM
mittees. In consequences. it may be ex-
pected that other committees will get
down TO their knitting without DELAY
Speaker Joseph also asserted his dig
nifty when communication was presented
from the federation of labor endorsing the
proposed railroad commission bill and adj
dressed 10 the chairman of she commit
tee on railroads and common carriers
The speaker served notice that no COM
munieation would be received unless

TAKES UP SMOKE PROBL EN-.
Joseph's Eminent Domain Bill Is in
Preparation.

A bill embodying the ideas of Speaker
JOSeph. given in an Interview in The Her
ara pefQre. the assembling Of the legisla-
lure, regarding the settlement of the
snelter smoke problem, is in preparation
ana VIII be introduced in the house with
in a few days
AT tho present time It IS believed that
the matter can be reached very simply by
main. chapter 60, section 35SS Of the gem
ersi statutes. 1t is proposed to add to
TINS section, where IL reads. among other
definitions OF the public uses for which
the right may be invoked: also an oc-
cupancy in common by the owners or
possessors OF different mines mills smell
ters or other places for the reduction of
ores. OF any place for the flow, deposit.
or conduct OF tailings or refuse matter ~
a clause making this applicable TO places
gases.
BY this means the smelter owners could
condemn and purchase lands affected by
smelter smoke, on the ground that such
lands were necessary for the deposit OF
such poisonous fumes or gases paying
therefor such sums as might be deter
mined
The act in preparation will also make
some provision for the naming BY county
commissioners of experts TO determine the
question OF damages, the reports OF such
experts to be subject to review by the
courts.
1t is claimed that this would afford a
speedy means Of settlement OF the smell
ter smoke problem, in that it could be put
into erect at once. II is claimed that
II would be fair alike TO the farmers and
the smelter owners and do away with
the multiplicity of suits for damages to
crops that have been and are continuing
to be brought against the shelters
The bill will probably be brought in
with the approval of the committee on
mining and Smelters.

Mr.. CALLISTER'S BILL.
Provo Man Thinks Present Law i:
Disgrace.
o The Salt Lake Herald

To The Salt Lake Herald:
In looking over the statement in to-
days Herald, made by Senator Callister
IN explanation of his reason for intro
ducing bill to do away with the neCes-
slty of corroboratiVe evidence in Seduc-
ton cases, IL might be well enough to re-
member that there is no law on the
statute books of the state against seduc-
ton, and II is therefore assumed. unless
Mr. Callisters purpose is TO introduce a
Dill Tor such law, that he means the
least sexual offence of which the stat
utes now take cogniZance. and which is
denominated a misdemeanor. There is no
need or changing the rule of evidence in
these cases, nor would IL be right. but
the punishment under the present law is
disgraceful farce. And the law and its
enforcement. instead OF acting as a de-
terrent, positively tends to increase the
Offense. by reason of the contempt
breeding familiarity which frequent pros
ecutions and the trivial punishment, on
conviction, impresses on the minds of the
young.
Agreeing fully with Senator Callister in
his adherence Of the offence for which
he proposes to make conviction easier,
and with the expressed sentiment of the
community against the evil. there is
room for doubt that past legislatures
have entertained this sentiment, and
even that the community entertains to
the extent IL processes. so long the
punishment remains as IL is.
The punishment is Imprisonment in the
county Jail not TO exceed six months, or
a fine not to exceed 500. While the pun
ishment for stealing anything of less
value than $50 is imprisonment in the
county Jail not TO exceed six months or
a fine of $500 or both. And If the articles
stolen amount 10 over fifty dollars inn
pris0nment in the state prison for not
less than one year, nor. more than ten
years. 1t does look inconsistent to send a
poor devil to the state prison for a year
for stealing $51 worth OF junk and 10 fine
a thing. who by his acts OF commission
and wilfully and viciously his further act
Of omission lin refusing TO right the
wrong he has committed, and compared
with whom a sneak thief is a gentleman
and a murderer philanthropist twenty
five or thirty dOllars-not 10 exceed S100-
or TO send him TO the city jail for few
weeks-not to exceed six months.
But the great evil of the present law,
and the inadequate penalty is that every
trial increases the impression in the
minds OF the immature. the weak and
the vicious, that the offense does not
amount to anything, and II the worst
comes. a few dollars fine will settle the
matter. And as a matter of public pol
Icy. the law ought to be repealed, or the
punishment made commensurate with the
offense. Certainly the latter In the
opinion of the writer; but repeal OF the
law would be far preferable TO leaving
the punishment as il now is.

merce Of the products Of child labor
declared that the census shows tho,
nearly 100000 child bread winners
under fifteen years of age are now a.
work. OF these almost 100000 are en-
gagged in work other than agricultura
Child labor on the farm is good no
said. His bill does not strike at thai
IL strikes only at child labor in factor
les, mines and sweatshops. Appalling
as these census figures are. said Sen
ator Beverage. they do not show the
full enOrmity Of the evil. He presented
q large number Of affidavits photo-
graphs and published articles setting
forth the conditions under which chill
dren labor in factories. mills and on
coal breakers.
Great Britain an Example.
Mr.. Beveridge spoke at length of con-
said. it took three-quarters Of a cen
fury 10 stop causes that were running
the British people. There. he said. the
remedy was applied too late, for when
the Boer war broke out the deteriora-
ton of the British people was revealed
by the fact that forty to sixty per cent
of the men We're unfit for military
duty and thirty per cent of all recruits
were rejected for reasons Of physical
and nervous inferiority
In the last decade. said Senator Rev
eridge, England has stopped the in
fanny OF child labor, and already the
physical condition of her people has
begun to improve, but it will take a
century to build up what IL took a
century TO tear down
Same Argument Over Here.
The reform in England. he said. was
met at every step by bitter. determined
resistance by English manufacturers.
Precisely the same arguments. almost
against the reform in America were
then used in Great Britain, and by the
same class of men.
Mr.. Beveridge argued that state leg
islatiOn was inadequate TO stop the
evil for the reason that if one state
passed a good law its manufacturers
were placed az a disadvantage in their
competition with the manufacturers or
states which refused or neglected TO
pass good laws. He stated further
that in the states where the evils Of
child labor were the worst, the inter
ests profiting by the evil conditions
We're strong enough to prevent reform
atory legislation.
States Rights Not Invaded
senator Beveridge urged that his
proposed act was IN no sense a re-
striction Of legitimate states rights.

Of the courts TO prove that his bill
is constitutional To save human be
ings from ruin, he said, is the purpose
