OIL BEING USED
TO PREVENT DUST
Neighboring Towns Set Rich
mond a Good Example.

Oil is being used generously on the
streets in neighboring towns as dust
preventive. At Knightstown, Green
field and New Castle, the experiment
has been found successful. It was
tried in Richmond few years ago,
but failed to develop the results an
ticipated because OF weather condi-
tions that followed the application of
the oil. The test was made on the
National road and South Fourth street.
It rained necessarily for two days fol-
lowing the application Of the oil and
as the result washed the oil off. 1t
has proved success generally and
may be tried again in this city.

COST OF WOODEN CLOTH.

the avera &c man. who is to be called

on Monday, Mi. Warren; in order to 4 ~

The suit which he MAS Weari1 6.
Mi. Dolliver said It appeared to him
Ito be a good suit, whereupor Nj. War
zen explained that The cloth in the suit
cost only 81. while the making and the
trimmings cost s4s, showing that the
duty on the 81 Of cloth WAS trlfinG

that institution is Il State Incorporation;

to dismiss this charge by tai king about

frequently, but that does not change

COMMISSION GOVERNMENT.

L. ]. Mcdonald, a wholesale grocer
of Wichita Kansas, is quoted as haY-
ing said to a newspaper that, although
the commission government has been
in operation in Wichita only d month
It's success is es lablishcd. Any govern.
!nlent,a he added which eliminates
rsds tape Is bound to be a. great thing,
and sthat Is Just what the commission
form does. The recall may always be
used to keep a commissioner from mis-
using his power. ~.
This states the case concisely and
with precision. Red tape is a great
2detriment to successful government,
and the commission plan eliminates
that, fol. one thing, Each commits
.sloner has his duties specified and does
not need to walt for the performance
OF them until the details have been
out by a number of men not
familiar with the business, BUT can so
ahead III IA business manner and do:
what is. necessary for the sfurtherance
of the interests of the city. He does

any particular section to see that 1t
gets Just as much attention, or little
more than any her ward lest Jealousy
shall arise. Each commissioner is sery-
Ing the interests Of the. whole city all
the time. And II he attempts to abuse
his ne.ssesr he can be recalled from
office.q uite as easil y as he was elected.
That, in brief, Is, what a commission
plan OF government means. Every city
cannot have a commission. But every
S'cIty can put national policies and petty
local ambitions and jealousies aside
and elect a body of men who are will
ing and capable of serving the public
honestly and in "a business-like man
ner spending public means economic
ally and to the best advantage, aud

HERE ARE THE FACTS.

One of the most absurd contentious
of the Tribune is that which appeared
in an editorial a few days ago, TO the.
effect that ii was the Morris admins
tration, and not its so-called American
successor, i that broke the pledges with
regard to the expenditure of the bond
issue OF 1905. Tho record on that poin1
Is plain. But the paper must take 1t
for granted that its old readers have
forgotten the facts, and that the new
corners have never known them, and
that a bluff Is all that is needed now.
In December, 1904, the City council
appealed to the citizens for authority
to issue bonds to the amount of a
million dollars, to be spent on water
and sewers. 1t was absolutely neces-
saiy to increase the water supply, at
that time. We had had a number OF
dry years and lack of water threatened
to stop the. growth OF the City This
was admitted by all. and the bond issue
was authorized, and the money was
borrowed in 1905. This was during the
Morris administration.
The City council specified what the
money was wanted for. A conduit was
to be constructed from Cottonwood to
}Parley's canyon, at the cost OF ss5o,oo0.
The sum of 100000 was 10 be spent on
certain work at Utah Lake The sum
Of 100000 was to be spent on the distri-
button system. For repairs on the city
canal $4,000 was needed, and so on.
And on this showing. which was deem
ed conservative, the bond issue was
authorized.
The conduit which was estimated 70
cost 100000 was contracted for. during
the Norris administration, for some-
thing like s23a, 900. If. the plans had
been carried out as laid by that admin
istration. there would have been an
ample supply Of money for the purposes
specified.
But in 1905 the so-ealled American
party bosses succeeded, by means
known best to themselves, to carry the
City election, and in 1906 they con-
trolied the council. What happencdo
Tie conduit that was estimated to
cost $4,000 and which the contractor
was willing TO build for ssse 900 was
made to cost according to American
reports, s4i3,6s5.9S, and to this day there
aye taxpayers who are firmly con-
| WINGED that this increase in cost was
made as a reward for political services
rendered during the campaign It was
alleged that the plans We're wrong. But
this has never been proved
As already stated, ssoo,ooo was asked
for the development at Utah Lake, by.
the Morris administration The Amer
lean successor reported that 1881 j. q;
was spent for this purpose. So it is
