RELATION OF HIGH RENTS
TO RED LIGHT DISTRICT

To The Salt Lake Herald:
The high cost of living in this city is
caused by the high rents which the mer-
chants have to pay. There are not store
buildings enough The notorious red light
district. in the very heart of the bust
ness center. occupies many stores
which. If they could be used for decent
business purposes would lessen rents al
most one-hdlf. If both sides of Com
mercial street. and the north side of Sec
ond South and the south side OF First
streets. were cleaned out, and the stores
rented to groceries, meat markets and
other business places which sell the neces-
saries of life. the merchants could sell
their goods much cheaper. and still mai
a profit The present exorbitant rents
must come out of the pockets of the peo-
pie. because the merchants must make a
profit after paying the rents. IL is the
duty of the CITY officials to clean out the
foul nest and drive such people from the
city. BUSINESS MAN.

peace at sacrifice OF his own convic-
tons
Apparently the men who are bent on
compelling the mayor TO obey their or
ders for political ends are willing TO
risk the wreckage of the American"
party TO attain their object 1t is alto
gether likely they will do their utmost
TO defeat him by combining the council
majority against his recommendations
and otherwise tying his hands so he
will be helpless to do what he believes
is his duty. Perhaps it is just as well
the issue is TO be made now between the
combination and the better element OF
the party represented by the mayor. The
outcome will go far toward deternin-
ing the fate of the American" organ
ization: and if the mayor is defeated,
if his effort 10 give good government
is defeated, il can result only in the
dissolution of the party. 1t is already
discredited: ii lost votes and prestige
at the last election: il is divided in its
councils and weakened in its hold upon
the men and women who have support
ed il as matter of principle, and not
for the official plumber TO be had
men like John Bransford are not want
ed. that its own choice for mayor is not
to be upheld. and the general public
will know that it is no longer entitled
TO the confidence of those who prefer
and honesty in office TO
any hope of party advantage
Mayor BransfOrd has made it very
clear that he has been guided by his
own judgment in the question as to
what disposition shall be made of the
criminal classes. He had the assurance
of his own party councilmen that they
a greed with him in his conclusion. But
and this is Characteristic of the man
he asked the advice of party leaders,
was ready TO be guided by their judg-
ment. and asked only that those who
differed from him should propose bet
ter solution of a problem that is always
present and always perplexing. The
very men who gave assent to his pro-
posals are those who now seek to en-
barrass him without coming into the
open. The very men We been
asking a change in the mead the po-
lice department now seize an opportuni-
ty to annoy the mayor when lie recon-
mends a change. To them pledge
means nothing over night. except posi-
bly, a chance TO bargain for appoint
ments or seize power that does not be-
long TO them
The mayor may be wrong in his so
luton of the criminal problem, but he
is entirely right in insisting on dis
charging the duties of the mayors Of
flee as his Judgment and conscience
dictate; and in that insistence he will
be sustained by very large majority
OF all the people of Salt Lake.

II Judge Diehl had argued that the

of chance-the player having no chance
to win-there might have been some in
dications of intelligence about the con-

alternative but to conclude either that
the judge had never seen a slot ma

Report on Tobacco.

Columbia, Special.-Cor issioner
Watson has received summary of
the tobacco situation in this tSate,
prepared specially for the depart
ment by Hartwell M. Aver, as fol-
lows:
"Amount produced in 1908, "a, ,0C0,-,
600 to 5,09O,0O0 pounds.
fi>=stO Off this rs per cent is bought by
the American Tobacco Company and
the Imperial Company. The formers
grades consist of cigarette and granu-
lators (for smoking) and wrappers
for American trade.
"The latter company's grades con-
sist of cigarette and plug tobaccos,
which are all shipped to England.
"We have very small per cent Of
twist and plug tobaccos grown in cur
State. We have about 20 per cent.
of a crop of semi-bright strips that
are shipped to European markets,
mainly to England by indendent buy
ers. The remainder, 5 per cent Of
the crop, consists Of scrap tobaccos
that are manufactured b ythe Ameri-
can trade into smoking tobaccos- The
Independents buy from ten to fifteen
per cent. of the crop of wrappers fcz
American trade, principally shipped
West. This is as near the informa-
ton as we can give it, as all tobacco
are manufactured in Virginia and the
West. What per cent of our grades
and kinds goes into the different out
puts we cannot give you."
