A QUESTION OF BUSINESS.

Discussion of the proposed $eo0, 900
bond issue on political lines Is altogeth-
er profitless, what Kipling calls futile
not whether the American" party has
been a failure or not or whether the
administration could do with less
money than il asks. The American"
party's opponents believe il has been a
humiiiating fizzle if not a disgrace to
the community which trusted ii with
power. They believe. too. that the coun-
Gil has been incompetent to handle the
finances properly.
But-and this is the only question
90 the taxpayers of Salt Lake prefer
an enormous tax rate to bond issue?
do they want to pay at the rate of
cents on the dollar this year for state.
county, city and school purposes. for
that is what the levy will have to be if
the bonds are not authorized? Would
II be good thing for the property
owners to have outside investors told
the tax rate In Salt Lake was one of
the highest in the country? In other
words. do the property owners of the
city want 10 pay for all the public i'm
provements this year in one installment
or do they want the burden distributed
over twenty years?
The Herald agrees with the severest
honest critics of the city administra-
ton. Ii has little use for the majority
OF the council. and it would much rath- |
er trust somebody else with the ex-
penditure of public funds That is a !
simple proposition. But the people who |
put the Americans in office also gave |
them the legal power to levy taxes and |
spend money. If the bonds are not |
voted, the council will either have to
raise the tax rate to d high figure or
else repudiate honest debts of the city.
Reputation is not even debatable: ne
community in Utah has ever refused to
pay its honest Indebtedness. and none
will. There remains, therefore, only one
of two alternatives. bonds or the high
tax rate; and as a business proposition
the bonds are infinitely TO be preferred
10 confscatory taxes.
One of the newspapers opposing the
bonds says the council will not dare to
raise the tax rate. because of the effect
on the party's fortunes at the approach
ing county election. That assertion is
pure foolishness. Doubtless the coun-
FL would like TO dodge high levy, but
L would have no choice in case the
ponds were defeated. Contracts already
ct and partially completed would COM
pei such levy as would make even
he opponents of the bonds sick of their Q
no matter what the politics
involved, the council could not escape
Is necessity for more money either e
rom bonds or taxes.
As 10 the politics OF the game: the
Americans" cannot evade responsible
ty for the position in which they have
'laced the city. no matter how the
money is raised with which TO meet
heir obligations. They have bungled Il

zeal Tor bonds is a confession Of the
Jingle. They have demonstrated with '

For a third time William Jennings Bry-
an is q candidate for the highest office
in the gift of the people of the American
republic. 1t is as the candidate of a
nearly united Democracy that he now
seeks the votes of the people. The con-
servatives of the party, given in 1904
day OF grace, proved wholly futile Now
they are willing to accept the typical
radical, though wishing that the policies
upheld by Mr.. Bryan were ennnciated
by some man less Injured to defeat Los
ing hope In the Parker type of candi-
date. they had asked for a John john
son, a radical not branded as the arch
radical But from the start the nomina-
ton of Mr.. Bryan was inevitable. and
the conservative Democracy. accepting
what could not be avoided, lines up be-
hind the Bryan banner with more or less
graceful submission.
Were Roosevelt and Bryan candidates
against each other the choice would be
difficult for radical and conservative. The
free silver doctrine having faded into
nothingness, the Bryan policies are in
practically no respect more radical than
those of Roosevelt. But Taft the residu-
airy legatee takes only what will be left
of RoOseveltism after the personality of
Roosevelt is removed. AS Roosevelt has
been above all things a man of strong
man impressing his great
''I' upon all matters of state it is eX-
pected that Rooseveltism minus ROose-
welt will be an entirely new doctrine. So
1t Is that the conservatives all those in
the Republican party and a few of the
Democrats may adhere to Taft as their
hope, while the radicals. the upholders
both of Rooseveltism and of Organism
may attach themselves to the Democratic
cause
The character and ability of Mr. Bryan
are too well known to call for comment
A man of highest personal integrity of
conscientiousness, a typical
American; his bitterest opponent must

The Democratic party is united and sure
TO poll the full party vote at the Novem-
Der election, so its chance of winning is
excellent without figuring on the many
Republicans who are going to vote for
Bryan and honest government in the in
terest of all the people.
The notion which seems TO have OBJ
tanned in some quarters that Mr.. Roose-
lfcan vote, which the Democratic party
must break down il il would win this
year. is wrong one. Mr.. Roosevelt was
elected because a great many Democrats
didn't go to the polls.
Neither of the parties got its full vote
in the last two elections. The absentees
are more on the Democratic side than on
the Republican side, but Mr.. Roosevelt
did not gain over Mckinley in 1900 as
much as the increase of the population
should have given him, and McKinley's
vote In 1900 was a mere trifle larger than
IL was in 1896 In eight years the Repup-
lican party has fallen far short of holding
Its own, In spite of the prestige of a for
eign war and the alleged popularity of the
president. The fact is evident that the
candidates or the platforms or the acts of
the Republican party are not giving salts
faction to the Republican voters. The
Democratic party has been badly divided.
But the election figures showed that II
had only TO get together to have every
of winning.
Between 1896 and 1904 the population of
the country increased. presumably. 10 per
cent. Instead of increasing, the preSiden-
tial vote was nearly half a million smaller
in 1904 than IN 1896. The Republican vote
did not increase 10 per cent; it only IN
creased 7.3 per cent. If absenteeism had
been more general among Democrats than
among Republicans. there is just so much
greater possibility of the increase of the
Democratic vote this year, and this is
the important fact to keep in mind.
The total presidential vote in 1896 was
a little less than 100000. If the voters
are increased per cent every four years.
which is about the growth of population,
then the possible presidential vote this
year will exceed Il. 100000. But at the last
election il was only trifle more than
