clared 10 be spite; when Salt Lake seeks
10 cut Ogden's throat that ambition IS
spoken Of as a friendly rivalry, And
there YOU are. with logic as clear as

Is the testimony Of not only Ogden. but
OF Logan. Provo and the other large cities
Of the state. This sweeping aside OF all

Lake Is the capital and viii remain the
capital is an attempt at buldozing. II
salt Lake goes TO sleep with such unctu-

some morning 10 the shocking reality that

But with all that the Salt Lake papers
nave said, there has been no reply TO the
offer of Ogden TO build a capitol for Utah,

Nephi Against Capitol.

| Whether or not Utah is 10 erect a
state capitol building or not. immediate
! ~, is TO he decided by tho votes Of the
people at q special election on june s.
RMS election was called 10 sec IL the
people are willing TO shoulder the burden
OF one more mill in order 10 erect -
capitol building at salt Lake CITY. Up
10 the present time the state has rented
office rooms for its officers and also halls
Tor the legislators to meet in every two
years Each session lasting from sixty
10 seventy days. Up TO the present the
state has got along very nicely this way
AT a low cost. While IT. would be a fine
| thing if We could erect a building for ex-
clusiVely state purposes, yet the ques-
ton arises. IS that the most Important
things TO be done now? We believe not.
The people are now quite heavily bur
throughout the state, and one mill even
makes quite a difference to them. Many
municipailes ar" engaged in paying for
electric light plants. water works. LAYING
cement sidewalks. building schoolhouses
or making other improvements far more
necessary than IS the capitol building TO
a0orn Salt Lake City
The Cow counties" as the outside
counties are called by Salt Lallers, are
beginning TO find II necessary TO look out
for themselves We do not see the wis
tax for Il capitol building In Salt Lake
when the people thought IL necessary 10
erect "s a'T eb sco9 5ndg InS to G%Tn o@
own town, because the taxes are already
high.
Another thing that Is more important
than q capitol building is good roads
These the entire state needs. and needs
badly. When we get a good system Of
roads established and enough school
houses erected for our present needs
throughout the county. then let us talk
state capitol" The people of the out
side counties are not lacking in public
spirit. but feel they have all The burdens
they can bear at present. and they also
have more pressing needs than n capitol
building. for the erection OF which they
will be assessed one mill for fifteen con-
sccutivc years.
Another thing, It is proposed to erect
the building in Salt Lake city, Just
why. we do not know. as It is not CON
sidered good policy 90 make a large COM
mercial center the capital city. Very
few. states in the Union have for their
capitals the large commercial cities. The
reason for this is obvious. In the event
the proposition Is, voted upon IIavoraby.
the capitol should be erected In city
nearer the center of the state. Every
thing at present goes 10 Salt Lake.
While we like TO see the big town grow
and are proud OF it, we do not believe
IL should have 1t all,

On Tuesday the voters of Utah will
pass upon the question of a levy of one
inlli special tax per annum for fifteen
years. for the purpose of erecting a
state capitol building, which will cost
in the neighborhood of so.500,00O. The
opposition to the tax comes from Og-
den, although there is some opposition
IN other parts Of the state, notably in
Box Elder, Cache. Juab and Sewer
counties. That the people may see
what the state press Of Utah has to re-

presents the following. clipped from the
press of the several counties IN the
state.
Vote Yes OH Tuesday.
Provo Enquirer.
The question of building a state capt.
toi in Salt Lake is one OF the uppermost
issues before the people of Utah today
~. AZ pres present the state is occupying
and County building and some action il,
regard to building a place FOR the state
business has become real necessity. At
present we find many of the minor Of
ncers Of the state occupying rooms in
business blocks in various parts OF the
city, and often people are at n loss to
ficers. Unless some action is taken
within very short time we will find
our governor and other state officers
banging out shingles and painting win
dows in various places around Salt
Lakes business district This condition
would not only he the cause or great in
convenience, but would uCcessitate all
kinds of aid in every department OF state
government.
For Just such reasons as these the
governor has called an election to deter
al ufi1l "a l1
iine with the progressive states and erect
4 state capitol that will he credit to
the state. The ground has already been
set aside for this purpose, and it is now
planted In beautiful trees and lawns
and is an ideal location, hence the state
has that much toward the realization of

which TO erect this magnificent structure

Some OF the people of Ogden have

BE Patient With the Boys.

The boy has some rights.
They are too often overlooked.
Older sisters frequently resent
them.
Even mothers sometimes fail to
recognize them.
The growing boy has scant courte-
sy shown him at home.
What If his tracks are seen occa-
sionally on the clean floor?
What if he does leave doors open
when they should be shut?
What if he does make noise en-
Ough to raise the dead?
1t must be remembered that these
are not crimes or shortcomings.
Time and patience can remedy
these and many other thoughtless
acts.
Time, patience and judicious on
couragement will prove more effec-
tive than fault finding.
Is there any member of the family
who hears more complaints of his
methods than the boy?
Yet he really does many little help
fut things that we would miss II
they were omitted.
He has right to appreciation and
thanks when his small daily chores
are we'll done.
Is it right to give the boy the attic
room and his sister a big, sunny,
second floor room?
Is it right to think that any sort of
cast-off furniture will do for the de-
structive boy?
He might not be so thoughtless
and destructive If he possessed a
beautiful and convenient room to
care for.
An appreciation of the beautiful,
artistic and orderly is mostly mat
ter of education and the boy has a
right to it,
A boy has right to all the home
privileges accorded his sisters, and
to be exempt from the accusation
that he is at the bottom of all the
mischief oat.-Philadelphia Rec
