RATE QUESTION
LOOKS SERIOUS
G. A. R. Officials Insist on Con-
ceSSionS Which the Railroad
Men Say Are Impossible.

The discussion over the granting of
low passenger rates to the Grand Army
veterans for the forty-third annual en-
campment TO be held In Salt Lake next
August has elected from the passenger
agents of the railroads the statement that
the rates are fixed in the east and that
no reduction can be made at this end
said. should be brought to bear at the
eastern ends of the railroads. because
unless the eastern railways will agree
TO cut in rates the western railroads
Will be powerleSS TO grant this cut.
The railroad men deny the statement
that the railroads can make money with
rate of ! cent mile TO Salt Lake. They
say that in many of the states the rail-
roads have passenger rate OF 2 cents a
mile within those states, fixed by a stat
ute and that this reduces the margin of
profit to such an extent that any rate
below that figure could only be made at
d sacrifice.
d. E. Burley, general passenger agent
for the Oregon Short Line. said yesterday
that the rate of cents mile from St.
Louis. IL cents a mile from Kansas City
and Ii mile from Chicago was final.
and in all probability would not be
changed. Colonel l. A. Benton. general
agent Of the passenger department of the
Denver < Rio Grande, said that nothing
could be done at this end 10 lower the
rate, but that it might be possible to get
a reduction at the eastern end
General H. NJ. Nevius commander-in-
Chief of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie. said yesterday that the rate an
nounced was no cheaper than the ordin-
airy summer rate and that he considered
II no rate at all. He intimated that unless
the railroads would grant a satisfactory
rate there was danger of Salt Lake losing
the encampment. Fisher Harris was en-
phatic in his declaration that Salt Lake
was at the mercy of the railroads and
that it rested with the railroads. and the
railroads alone. whether or not Salt Lake
would have the G. A. R. encampment
Mr.. Harris called attention to an article
IN the December American magazine in
which tourist rates in different parts of
the country were listed as low as mills
per mile
Commandments Nevius left yesfer-
day with his party for Ogden where they
stopped last evening, proceeding east this
morning Fisher Harris accompanied the
party TO Ogden. Commander Nevius will
stop IN Omaha to discuss railroad rates
with E l. Lomax, general passenger
agent of the Union Pacific, after which
1t VIII be announced whether or not Salt
Lake is to have the encampment
The commander-in-chief on his 6epar-
ture gave expression TO the PLEASURE
which had been his during the STAY in
Salt Lake and assured the people that
If he were successful in securing a salts
factory rate to Salt Lake the encamp-
ment would certainly be held in this city.

It is quite certain that the number of
sheep will be increased to at least the
extent of 154000 by additional reports
Stock sheep are assessed at $3.50. In
some counties where thoroughbred and
high grade animals are being raised. the
assessment is based on the quality OF
stock. Thus, one sees that in Davis
county 1900 sheep are valued at Si7000
and In Carbon county is takes 1000 sheep
10 make S.t00.
The deficiency in the figures is notori-
ously due to the fact that assessors do
not go among the flockmasters and visit
the ranges Anyone who knows anything
at all about the sheep business knows
that the stock is never assessed at more
than two-thir1s its valuation when the
see basis is taken. vet il is only rarely
that there is a discrepancy of nearly 100
per cent.
The records Of the state board are taken
from the number OF sheep inspected and
cSamined-and IL may be not unlikely that
many small bands were overlooked at
that by reason of the fact that there was
an insufficency of funds. The United
States authorities worked in conjunction
with the state inspectors. and the record
is the product of this joint activity.
1t is said that assessors are wont to
accept returns made by sheep owners,
never inspecting the herds themselves.
and that thousands Of sheep pass without
ever even return by their owner.

COUNCIL HEARS
NEW ORDINANCE
Proposed Regulation OF Liquor
Traffic Covered in Detail
by Its Provisions.
CONTAINS UNIQUE FEATURE
ONE LICENSE TO BE GRANTED TO
EACH 1000 OF POPULATION.

The new ordinance affecting the liquor
business in Salt Lake is a blanket ordl-
nance with a big b II covers every
thing, apparently. from alpha TO omega.
and then some. IL covers thirteen type
written pages. and takes thirty-three
minutes to read.
The ordinance IS authorized ny MI
Stewart. Its provisions. some OF them,
are radical departures from the laws that
govern at the present time.
Last night there was a good deal OF
trouble about getting the ordinance pc
fore the council. Mr.. Stewart wanted IL
read first. second and third times IN
der suspension of the rules. Finally a
compromise was effected and 1t was read
first time, which everybody said was
plenty for one evening.
Then il was laid over for one week. "
meaning that it will come up again Mon
day night. inasmuch as last night coun-
Gil meeting was only a recessed one
from last Monday night.
The ordinance in its present form Will
not have the support of the entire coun-
Gil. That much was made manifest last
night when Mr.. Hall, Mr.. Black and 9TH
ers raised objections to some of its pro-
visions. although. officially, they had
never heard them read.
