REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET
SHOULD Be NO TROUBLE.

In the adjustment of our water mat
tiers there should be nc trouble. The
city council has made regulations by
ordinance that are fair and all citi-
zens should accept them without con-
tention. There is no reason why n
well-dehned plan should not at this
time take the place o, the hap-hazard
patchwork built up during more than
thirty years of disorder. Every citi-
zen should be confined to the street on
which he lives and to he side of that
street upon which he lives. In this
way we shall have an orderly system
and each citizen will contribute in &c.
cordance with the property he owns.
1t is not strange that there should
be some contention. but it will all pass
away when the right of the matter Is
brough squarely to the notice of those
interested. A man who has enjoyed a
special privilege for a number of years
Is 10th to give 1t up. of course, but
there must be equality. This applies
to governing bodies as well as to citi-
ems For the sake of q small amount
of money, the board OF commissioners,
the school board, the city council or
the board of trustees Of churches and
other organizations cannot afford to be
contentious or captious. Every lot
should bear its proportion of the cost
of laying street mains In proportion to
the frontage thereof. This is fair and
there should be no question about 1t.
TO ~, tnlt,,tJ,,at u,n otrhA lN@~ o1,,t
ting on a certain street, his ASSESS
ment Tor water mains should be just
eight times the amount assessed
against a man owning one lot, and
evaotly the same thing should applykc
the county or city. The governing
bodies should be ready and willing to
set a good example for the citizens to
follow and not encourage in the slight
est degree contention among f1divid-
uals.
The Republican Is just as much In
terested in this matter as anyone. It's
property covers portions of three lots
on the corner of Third and Grand. 1t
will have to join with the Third street
company instead of taking water as 1t
does now. This will mean additional ex.
pense for street main n for lateral
pipes, but there will be no contention
or attempt to hold on to our present
connection upon the ground that we
have a vested right. This same thing
applies to all the members OF the CON-
pany. One of the members, for illus
t%ration, has just purchased a piece of
propety that has connection with a
main from Second street, but the prop
erty Is on the east side of the alley
between Second and Third and he ex-
poets to go in with the Third street
people. giving up all claim to the Sec
ond street main.
So far as contracts 30, no one has
any contract with the Union Pacific
railroad but 205 citizens of Albany
county and the City Of Laramie. The
county as an organization has not con,
tract and no more rights than an indi-
vidual. The city is the governing power
within the limits of the municipality
and there ought to be not the slight
est contention over obeying the ordi-
nances passed by the council.
Now is the proper time to straighten
the entire matter out in a fair, logical
n orderly manner-without law
suits Or bad feeling.

Engineer Rasmussen and Shopman
Chris Madsen of this city today sold
to Grand Junction (Colo.) parties their
fruit farm of forty acres in Utah
county. Utah, seventy-five miles south
Oh Salt Lake; getting a handsome pro
fit by the sale. The new company is a
large concern, going extensively into
the fruit business, the Laramie gentle
men considering themselves fortunate
in being able to close up the deal and
receive a large sum. The property is In
the Tintic mining district, n of the
richest in Utah, n also in a favored
fruit belt of that state.

MR.. VIEWS.

ELSEWHERE in this issue The Republi.
can prints a letter from Hon. Frank
W. Mondell TO President Hans Olson
of the Albany County Cattle. and
Horse Growers association. The posi-,
ton Of u congressman upon matters
pertaining to the disposition Of the
public domain is set forth with
clearness in this communication, After
reciting the contents of the petitions
received by him, he hints with consider
able force at the %futility of advocating
more than M well defined PROPOSE
ton. but concludes that the same gen.
eral result is sought by all those who
are pe%titioning for government control
of the range: ITO give those owning
lands the preference right to the use
of the public lands lying adjacent to
their farms and ranches for grazing
purposes"
Mr.. Mondell expresses the belief
that the question has been rendered
far more difficult of solution by the
insistence in one quarter upon "a sys.
tenn of range control Our congress-
man unquestionably refers to Mr.. Pin
chot's policy and outline of policy for
the future. to which he has given bat
tie upon all occasions. While The Re-
publican has never taken very serious

pinchot's forest reserve and range
control policies have brought down
upon his honorable career. 1t comedies

upon all public questions.

were rising in value; land in
promising situations, invited in
vestment at more than it was
worth for use; fortunes were turn
ed over and over in Wall street,
where speculative interests in
land have found their readiest
market in the form of corporation
stocks; business was lively at
small profits for managers and a
"living wage" for workers; and
the happy-go-lucky optimist
beamed. But confidence began to
sag here and there. Mr.. Morgan's
was probably the first to go, for
he made no investments after 1906,
but turned millions of his interests
into gold and into demand loans
tightly secured. Gradually the
word spread that personal expen-
ditures we're falling off, that coll
lections were ''hard," that some
investments were not SO good as
they had been. Then there came
a furry, a puff of wind on the sum-
mer seas of finance, which carried
down some business craft and
, warned others to trim sail. That
was in August. In October the
storm broke. When the banks,
for no reason apparent to most
business men, stopped cash pay
ments, it was clear enough to al
+ but the fatuous or the crooked
that the depression was here. The
, banks did not close for lack Of
money. 1t was for lack of conf
t dence in the value of securities
they held as collateral-securities
which for the most part were titles
in some form form to speculative
interests in some kind of land
They were in the plight of those
; money lenders of Amsterdam whC

WITH double the amount of cur
rency, per capita, in the country
that was eXistant when the "Cleve-
land hard times" prevailed-so-
called by the Party of Trusts and
Monopoly Congress now hypo-
critically assumes that the present
business depression is consequent
upon a money famine. Nothing
could be further from the truth,
and every ''captain of finance in
and out of Congress knows it. But
the specially favored money-bro-
kers-the parasites on labor and
production--take advantage OF the
nations distress to get a still surer
clutch on it's throat. The Aldrich
asset currency bill seeks to extend
the circulation of national bank
notes by authorizing said banks to
issue hundreds of millions of cur
rency based upon State, county,
railroad and other bonds. Hereto
fore and now, United States bonds,
only, have been and are available

The Chicago Public Of last week
closes with the following para
graphs a long and instructive edit
orial on the business depressions
and their causes for the past two
hundred years-recurring at near
ly regular intervals in this country
since the government was estab-
lished:
"A year ago every one ''who was
any one," thought he was getting
rich. Times were as flush in the
United States as they had been
in Holland at the height OF the
tulip craze, as they had been in
France at the height of the Miss
issippi venture, as they had been
in England at the height OF the
South Sea speculation, as they
had been in the United States
just before every previous de-
preston, from the first to the sixth.
Speculation was rife; monopolies
