neDEN,s HIGH SCHOOL BONDS.

A philosophical citizen of Ogden
Fred j. Kiesel, has offered to give the
city site for a high school worth
$4,000. provided the municipality win
vote for bonds to the amount of $4,000
for the erection of suitable building
on the ground. A proposal for bonds
is submitted for popular approval. and
every reason for a favorable vote war
rants the supposition that the bonds
will be authorized. Certainly every
consideration, whether of public policy
of business judgment or of purely SEN
timental consideration, calls for it.
In the first place. the city stands to
gain the value of the lot, and SIS, 900 is
a large amount. All the heavy tax
payers of the city have signified their
approval of the bonds publicly; the la
Dor organizations are anxious to see
the bonds issued; the Weber club and
the chamber of commerce are on record
in favor of the building. and so even
such opposition as exists are all the
Mormon church authorities. including
stake presidents. is of the kind to win
support for the project.
The seating capacity of the present
building is 365. while the attendance
this year was 457, and the annual In
crease in the number of pupils is $50
The increase of itself is enough to war;
rant the construction of the new build
ing and speaks volumes for the growth
and prosperity of Ogden.
Further, if the city of Ogden is to
get the advantage of Mr.. Kiesels gen.
erous offer. the bonds must be approved
at this time. Very properly the donor
has made this one of the conditions of
his offer because he recognizes the i'm
perative necessity for immediate ac-
ton, and he could not be expected to
make the city a present of such value
with the option of building whenever
the mood moved the authorities 10 90
the work
If Ogden has one institution of which
it has right to be proud 1t IS the pup
lie high school. 1t is splendidly man
aged, it has the modern school spirit,
1t has given Salt Lake a painful and
effective demonstration of it's prowess
in athletics, which is the test OF team
work in school organization, and it
ranks with the best schools in Amer
lea. 1t is entitled to a good building
constructed not only for present needs,
but for the years to come. and it has
splendid opportunity now to get that
building at a minimum of cost with a
maximum of benefit. The Herald,
which is interested in Ogden's progress
and is indebted to the people of Ogden
in many ways. hopes they will approve
the bonds unanimously
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1908-07-05

the people and remembering that they
have put the city in most embarrass-
ing position which is TO be accounted
for when they ask for endorsement at
the polls. the fact remains that the
approval of the bonds means the set
tlement of the city's Indebtedness on
account of improvements and a chance
to complete the general plan Of i'm
provements without burdening property
owners with an immediate and enor-
nous increase in the city tax rate
Convinced that the American" adj
ministration has been a huge failure,
and that it has been worse in its care
of finances than any administration
within long term of years, The Her
aid still believes that as business
proposition the taxpayers would be
wiser to vote for the bonds They are
helpless in either event; if the bonds
fail they will be confronted with an ex-
cessively high tax rate. which would
discredit the city with outside invest
ors and make IL difficult for owners or
small homes to carry their share OF the
cost.
In its consideration of the matter,
The Herald has viewed the bond pro-
posal solely as business affair; 1t be-
lieves that political and selfish advan-
tage should not be factors in any de-
cision the voters may make; it believes,
further, that the value of genuine pup
lie improvements is much greater than
their actual cost in money, and 1t is
anxious to see the program of real i'm
provement carried out in order to in
sure the city the place among Ameri-
can municipalities to which it is en-
titled
No public-spirited citizen would will
ingly handicap the city for the sake
of a small political advantage, and no
newspaper. having in view the progress
and welfare of the whole community,
would wish to involve the municipality
in a financial muddle for the sake of
placing political opponents at a dis
advantage. For these reasons, and for
no other, The Herald has insisted on
having all the data available before the
vote on the bonds: and now that the
information is published, it believes the
voters are in position to determine
rightly just what decision will be best
for the city as a whole.

RICE AS MUScLE-MAkER.

A recent editorial in the Lancet-Clinic
Japan drew the attention of the whole

families, but IL is quite possible that rice

In the United States. as well as in Eu-

HENRY cLEWs SPEAKS.

An esteemed correspondent. Henry
Clews, a New York banker and stock
broker, takes his pen in hand to in
form us as follows:
I'm anticipation of Mr.. Taft's nomi-
nation for the presidency, the stock
market underwent a considerable and
prolonged advance. Upon announce
ment of the event prices, as usual. re-
acted; early buyers having taken prof
quate support. With the Denver con-
vention close at hand, and the proba-
bilities of Mr.. Bryan's nomination daily
strengthening, there is more or less
shrinking in values, and the market is
discounting his nomination by dis
play of weakness. mucn In the same
fashion that it anticipated Mr.. Tafts
nomination by show of strength.
Moreover, all persons are not equally
confident of Mr.. Taft's election in No
slider the outlook still doubtful and act
upon their convictions; and while they
may be in error they are sufficiently
strong numerically to give the political
situation a moderate degree of uncer-
tainty, which may be expected to last
until the final outcome in November
next"
The Republican national committee
really ought to put Mr.. Clews on its
list of campaign orators. The only
frAt ic hn Hofa nar
would take his remarks seriously. 1t
is just as absurd for him to credit
little rise in stocks to the nominal
ton of Secretary Taft as it would be
to give the Republican party praise for
sunshine, good crops or fresh air. And
it is equally absurd to charge Mr. Bry-
an, or rather the probability of Mr.
Bryan's nominal ion, with the decline
in stocks.
At this time of the year the stock
market is nearly always listless. The
trading is largely of the professional
type Brokers set up little jobs to raise
the price of this stock. to decrease the
price of that. The range is hardly ever
more than a few points either way.
Mr.. Clews says himself. in the very
letter from which we have quoted:
1.-THE outlook is for a comparatively
quiet stock market, with limited fluc
tuations in either direction. There is
nothing in the situation to warrant un-
easiness in regard TO security values.
and no great decline is to be anticipat-
ed. On the other hand, favorable con-
ditions have been so amply discounted
by the recent advances that temporary
weakness was inevitable"
Thus he dodders along and answers
himself He really isn't entitled to Sc
rious consideration.

Boston, June cial.)-Although Thomas W. Lawson appealed to the delegates to the republican national con- vention to renominate Theodore Roose- welt for President by means of whole page advertisements in every newspaper in Chicago, he sent an open letter to- day to William J. Bryan in which he says:

 He asks MT. Bryan to say the word that will result in the nomination of Gov ernor Johnson of Minnesota for President on the democratic ticket and to accept the nomination for vice president himself.
