SALT LAKE TRIBUNE SUNDAY MORNING MARCH 3d. 1907

and ono that would undoubtedly be
supported by the public at large, espe-
cially as the State or locality would
not be Obliged to put up more than
1T desired to meet It's proportion of the
National expenditure. That is, if tho
State or any locality did not wish to
put up the money to meet the full ap-
preparation by Congress, it could put
up as much as it could afford, and the
National officials would put up as much,
in order that some work could be done,
even If not as much as might be de
sired
Governor Cutler, however, saw it to
veto the bill. And that veto is u
curiosity, Evidently he did not under
stand in the least the object or purpose
of the bill. or the hope which animated
those who passed it, for Congressional
aid in this matter. He considered that
it was indefinite because it did not go
into effect until June !, 1909, and am
blguous IN appropriatIng one thousand
dollars for each county in the State
annually. And he considered that leav-
ing out the number Of years from the
appropriation was fatal defect,
The Governor also considered it un.
certain and ambiguous in its provis.
ions as to the Engineer taking
charge Of the expenditures for good
roads, fearing that it might give to
him the control of the present year S
however, he considered it defect that
the bill did not go into effect until
June l, 1909. These objections seem
mutually TO kill each other, for If the
bill did not 90 into effect until June ] :,
1909, there was no possibility of its
giving the present year s appropriation
10 the State Engineer TO apply. And
still, with such quibbling objections as
these, Governor Cutler says. ''I am
strongly IN favor of the general pur-
pose of this measure' But the friends
OF good roads may be excused from
considering this ridiculous veto in the
light of friendship. Tho truth of the
matter is. that the Governor appears
to have entirely misconceived the oh.
JecJ and purpose Of the bill, and not
In the least to have comprehended the
object aimed at III it, It is only an.
other evidence of the ludicrous unfit.
ness of Mr.. Cutler for tho Office of
Governor.
This veto may fairly be considered
an echo or supplement of the Smoot
political smother of the good roads
movement IN this State two or threo
years ago, when he destroyed the good
roads organization by forcing in as tho
head of 1T his henchman, fussy Jimmy
Anderson, since which time the good
roads movement has not shown even
ono spark of life in Utah. The Smoot
machine, of which Cutler and Anderson
are prominent cogs, is determinedly op.
posed, apparently, TO good roads. and
IS able to make its opposition count
every time.

QUESTIONS FOR JOSEPH.

In all probability Joseph L. Smith
Will preside at the forthcoming confer,
ence of The Mormon church If there
is any member of the church who is
not an absolute slave 10 the priesthood,
and who is as free and untrammeled as
the church organ declares him to be,
he could ask the prophet, seer and rev.
elator some vital and pertinent ques-
tions viz:
Why do you say that you worship
God whose commands you will obey
or disobey, at your pleasure, and at the
same time demand of us absolute obe-
dience!
Why do You not keep the pledges
under which we. your followers, re-
ceived the full freedom of American
citizenship
Why do you disregard your own in
depreciation Of the manifesto?
How do you justify your announced
determination TO live in defiance Of the
laws of God and man.
Collecting tithes from us in the name
of the Lord, why, in that same name,
do you not tell us what you do with
them7
Why do you persist in course which
brings this innocent congregation into
dIsrcputc all over the country?
Why do you not command all of your
apostles TO attend strictly to the call
ing to which they were ordained!
Why was it necessary for you,
prophet of the Most High God, to lie
before mere mon in order to escape any
puny trap which they may have set?
Why do you sit there in your high
place and preside over us, when, since
the last time we met in conference. you
have confessed in court that you are
law-breakerl
If it is a righteous thing for YOU TO
break the laws of the land and the laws
of the church, what will YOU have to
say TO the world il we all follow your
example?
Why do You pretend to be prophet.
seer, and revelator at all, since YOU
make no prophecy and confess that you
receive no revelation?
Every member of the Mormon church,
who is a law-abiding citizen, has a
right 10 ask these questions. 1t is all
rubbish for him TO make his charges
or to ask his questions before bish-
op' court. Every Mormon knows what
would happen to them-or rather, TO
him-there. If he is to be hanged at
all, enthusiastically speaking, let it be
for "A full grown sheep.
Mr., Mormon, ask the questions in
open meeting, and your standing in the
church will be much safer than if you
go to the bishops court-where sympa-
thizing eyes could not behold, nor will
ing cars hear, the stand you took for
the right.

GOOD OUTLOOK FOR THE GUARD,

In the new and more favorable deyeI-
opment of the forces that make for 4 bet
ter organization Of the National Guard
or Utah, the people now have the rigbt
TO the most sanguine expectations. The
Huard, under its present management.
is undoubtedly in good and safe hands,
IL Governor Cutler and the political ma
chime VIII only keep their claws of
NJ and not mar where il is impossible
Tor them to help. A Guard which is
football on the one hand. of the
church and on the other hand of the
politicians, and continually on the
bounce from kicks ut one line or the
other, cannot be much Of Guard. 1t
has almost como to ruin in the past by
reason of these unfayorable surround
lngs; so much so that only by the most
nerYy continuance upon the roll of those
who had, In fact abandoned the Guard,
was the State able last year 10 get its
appropriation Of Federal money.
Conditions, however, are now entirely
changed Tho Guard is in the hands,
practically, of Inspector Wedgwood and
Colonel Plummer, who not only have the
zeal and the knowledge, but the ad-
ministrative ability to do frst.class
work in the right direction. 1t would
be an excellent thing if there could be
enrolled in the Guard in this city a suf-
ficient number of volunteers TO form
a full regiment. There is ample materi
al here for this purpose-material that
would not only help the Guard, but
would be helped by il. One cannot pass
along the streets of this city without
seeing, among the many alert, vigor-
Gus, straight-limbed and straight backed
young men, n considerable number who
arc listless, enervated, stoop- -shouldered,
crooked -limbed, hollow -chested, whose
easiest physical salvation would be in a
thorough setting up by the proper mill
tary exercises. For the class of young
men last referred to, nothing could pos
sibly do as much service as military
training. Gymnasium work does not nee.
essarily correct these evils. A thorough
military setting up does correct them
young man can continue in the form
that many are seen upon the streets af-
ter a proper course Of military drill.
We understand that it is the intention
Of the military authorities TO accept
none but the very best material for
volunteers in the new filing up of the
Guard. 1t is their determination to
have the full number required by
United States law and more, actually
present and in limo at inspection, and
not merely SO many names on the roll
with but a fragment Of these actually
present for duty. We would suggest
that the recruiting officers, while being
desirous of keeping up good standard
might relax in the number Of cases to
see what can be done with young men
who are not the most perfect specimens
to be had. 1t is, of course, easy to lick
into shape party of recruits, each and
everyone of whom is in first class phvsi-
cal form TO start with. And while the
ambition OF the commanding officers to
have none but the best is commendable

WHOLESALE GRATING.

1t is stated on good authority that
IN the construction of Pennsylvania s
capitol there have been frauds involv-
ing anywhere from two million to six
million dolars-and perhaps more.
While the investigation into this
series of robbercs Of the public treas
ury has practically but just begun,
enough has been already discovered to
reveal most shameful state of affairs
BY means of letting contracts to favor
ite bidders only, the State has been
compelled TO pay the most outrageous
prices for materials and work entering
into the construction. a recital of q
few of these is sufficient TO show the
magnitude of collusive rascality which
seems to have enveloped the whole en-
terprise. In one item connected with
the rostrum of the building the original
contractor was paid 100000, while for
the actual execution of the work he
paid the sub-contractor but $4,000 Then
for painting and decorating $4,000 feet
of walls and ceilings the sum of $3.50
600 was paid; and estimates on this
work made by disinterested experts,
place it's actual cost at $l64, ,000-ex-
hibiting loss 10 the State of S625 900.
Even tho Investigators into these
frauds have been proceeding upon the
generous basis of twenty per cent
profit; but imagine their CONSERVATION
when they discovered that in several of
the items the profit amounted TO four
hundred per cent! And yet, they had
not even then unearthed the crowning
