TWO IMPORTANT BILLS.

Two measures OF Importance to the
people of Salt Lake will come before
the next legislature. One will provide
in some form for the building or the
preparation for building a state house
on the grounds owned by the state on
Capitol Hill in this city. The other
measure viii concern the government
OF Salt Lake. Two years ago an effort
was made by many of the leading cit
liens of the town TO secure a different
and less cumbersome form of municipal
administration. The effort failed, owing
10 the opposition of the federal ma
chine, which then believed 1t could re-
cover the city from the Americans
who had won the city election over d
year before.
AS TO the state capitol proposition, it
is entitled TO the fullest considera ton.
twelve years, nearly thirteen, since
Utah's admission to the sisterhood of
states. and certainly it is time for the
state to begin to think of a home A
young married couple. of good habits
and well established in the community,
would not be highly regarded as pos
sessing good business ability, if after
twelve years of married life they had
made no start toward the ownership of
a home. In the consideration of the
plans for state house. the wealth and
importance of the state should ever be
kept in MIND. Utah is a rich state. with
resources that are ever expanding. 1t
can afford a beautiful home-not an
extravagant building. but one of artis-
tic appearance and ample in it's accom-
modations for ali time TO come. Such a
structure is well within the means of
the state.
AS to the Des Moines plan or the Gal
weston plan of city government. it will
be well for the legislature to go slow
iy. The people of Salt Lake are amply
competent to determine the form of
government they desire and should
have. They sometimes elect inefficient
men to office, but in the end the people
of Salt Lake themselves have to pay
the bills and meet the expense account
of bad public servants. Probably be-
fore the legislature meets and during
its session the sentiment of the COM
munity will make itself manifest There
appears at present a desire for a
change on the part of men who were
violently opposed to a simpler form of
government two years ago when there
was a good chance Of getting it. They
seem to want that which they rejected
with the greatest animosity in 1907. All
of which causes the curious to wonder
Whatever the people want-irrespec-
tive of the desires of the Smoot ma

ture should grant. for in spite of the

year ago and the Republican victory
