Tempt to prosecute inmates of tho

1t is clearly a case where tho sheriff
is himself in contempt of court, as we'll
ms those who he says arc guilty. Pro

THE CANALS IMMENSE COST.

1t appears from estimates formulated
| from the Jsthmian canal construction
headquarters at Panama, that the canal
has already cost $4,000 900, and that
S35, 100000 more is carried in the re-
port as needed for the year beginning
July ], 1910. That Will bring the cost
up to S24j 100000, Probably as much
Will be needed for the ivc years sue
cecding, at the end of which, the car.
hest estimate is the canal will be fin
ished, or $l75.000,000. That viii make
an aggregate on the lowest basis of cal.
culation of S420, 1000, 900 But if the
canal is not finished before 1920, as
some Of the greatest experts believe
Will be the case. and the same rate OF
expenditure is kept up, as it is pretty
sure TO be, if not indeed exceeded, then
the total cost of the canal Will reach
$595, 900, 900.
Reckoning further, that the canal
will not be finished before the year
1920 (and really 1T will be very good
work if it is finished by thcn.) and
Will cost practically $600,0O0.0OO, it IS
evident that we have neither saved
money nor time in putting in a lock

SHOOTS MooNsHINE GLORY.

We print on this page this morning
the estimate of Apostle Smoot, made
by the People in the Public Eye
writer of the New York Globe. He is
n spicy, keen writer, our readers
know from previous publications which
VIC have reproduced from him.
On the whole, the estimate is favor
able to Smoot, though hc is treated
with flippancy, and is described with
a familiarity that will be shocking TO
the Saint who revcres the ''prophets,
seers, and rcyelators,' Of whom Smoot
is one. In some points, TOO, he is away
off in his fncts. and one is curious to
know where he got his misinformation.
The article is an important one in
one respect, too; for 1T gives frankly
the opinion which appears firmly set
in Washington-and it is unquestion-
ably the correct opinion, too-that the
seating Of Smoot was the result of a
political bargain, and was not i'll the
least in the nature Of Il fair determine"
tion of the case on its merits. We have
constantly urged this view, which must
be conclusive upon the mind Of any one
who may make an impartial inyestiga-
tion of the case.
1t is surprising to be told, for in
stance, that Smoot "has been the re-
sponsible head of the Zion s Co.Opcra
tive institution, the great store which
handles the business of every Mormon
church member Nothing of this is
known here: and if Smoot is telling
such things in the east, (and how could
they be published except by his iustiga
ton) he is "stringing' the boys. And |
when we are further told that "he
didn t get that place through favor but |
because he earned it." we admire. |
When, in addition, we are assured that |
''He is the head of one Of the greatest
retail businesses in the world; and, as
the head Of such a business should be,
he is posted on every detail of trade, -
and so on, we cannot help but wonder.
1t cannot be that the writer meant the
saloon business Of the Smoot drug store
at Provo, but If not, what IN the world
can he mean? 1t is very, very wrong
for Smoot TO allow, much less to give
out, such misleading rot as this to an
newspaper man, for the
purpose of having a bogus halo fixed
about his bushing brow.
Aside from all that, however. the es-
Innate of Smoot by the New York
writer is an entertaining one, and per.
laps Smoot can t make any better use
# the money he gets from his brethren
md sisters than in spreading abroad
noonshine glories for himself,

GUARANTY DEPOSIT BANKS.

When the bank deposit guaranty was
under its initial keen discussion. by rea-
son of its new enactment in Oklahoma
we expressed the opinion that it would
lead to the formation of a colossal bank
trust, the like of which had never been
known in the world before. Our opinion
was based upon the very natural busi-
ness proposition that when one concern
had TO guarantee another. it would want
something to say about the methods of
that other, and TO have voice in its
affairs. And we pointed out that this
would be likely to lead to the forna-
tlon of combines of banks, and the ex-
ciusion from those combines of new
banks, thus keeping the field to the
combine, and the driving out of busi.
ness of banks that the combine did not
feel safe IN guaranteeing. Independent
banks would be driven out of business
and no banks other than those in the
combine could survive.
And already this has begun. Four
other States have followed OkIshoma's q
lead IN enacting the bank deposit guar.
anty-kansas, South Dakota. Nebras.
Ia, and Texas; but all in modified form,
each State having peculiarities Of its
own, And the National Banks of the
State Of Kansas have, with the an
proval Of the Comptroller Of the Cur
reucy, taken the initial steps for the
bank combine foreseen. National Banks
are not permitted to come under the
State guarantee deposit plan, they
being governed by National law. So
they have to meet the competition of |
the guaranty banks by plan of their
Own. This plan is for the National
Banks of Kansas to organize the Kan |
sas Bank Deposit Guaranty and Surety !
Company, the stock Of which is to be |
taken by the stockholders Of the Ma.
tional Banks, and to have paid-up can.
ital stock of 100000, on which SIX per
cent interest is TO be paid. With this
fund Immediately available, the de.
positors in any failed bank arc to be
paid IN full at once, and the Surety
company takes over the assets of the
bank. Or. what is better vet. the com
pany comes to the relief of bank in
trouble, and keeps it from falling.
1t is manifest that consolidated
interest like this will end in a TIGHT
monopoly. II is also evident that il is
more effective protection TO the de.
posItor than the guaranty provided bv
state enacted guaranty, for it provides
N full aud at once to meet the demands
't deposltors, which State.enforceJ
guaranty does not necessarily do, for il
las to wait until the banks can be as.
'essed to meet depositors' claims. And
u has the supreme advantage TINT the
can come TO the relief of
bank IN need, thing which State
'hforced guaranty cannot possibly do.
1t is probable, therefore, in the first
'laee, that this combination of the Ma.
Ional Banks viii give them . greptcr .

IT LOOKS GOOD.

We have from Mr., Thos L. Mahoncy
OF the Chamber of Commerce of Grand
junction, Colorado, a letter and sug-
gestIon. The letter encloscs n clipping
from The Tribune, reporting n discus.
sion by the ''adn men Of this city on
take advertising and the best way to
meet and suppress it. The lad men
of this city appointed a committee to
consider the question and report their
conclusions upon it.
But the Grand Junction Chamber Of
Commerce meets the proposition square
~, taking upon itself the labor and re-
sponsibility of investigating all such
schemes, approving such as it considers
merltorlous, and shutting off such as
are not considered worthy or advan-
tageous, And that is the suggestion,
how it works, Mr.. Mahoney
sends sample card sign, used by the
business men in Grand Junction, which
reads as follows. in conspicuous letters:
We belong to the
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
Advertisers and charity solicitors are re-
ierred to the Secretary of the Chamber
OF Commerce FOR investigation.
Now, that strikes us as a good, prac-
teal idea. The letter enclosing it says
that the plan "is giving good satisfac-
Iion, and has been the means Of saving

GOVERNOR AND THE CAPITOL.

Governor Spry is quito right in tn,
matter Of the vote on the State Capito
amendment to the State Constitution
when he insists that it is in no sense
a party or partisan question, He i:
correct also in protesting against the
dragging in of the question as to where
the capitol is to be built; there is no
place to build the State Capitol but at
the State capital He is no doubt ac.
curate, also, in his showing that Salt
| Lake county gets far less from the State
than other counties get in proportion to
her comparative assessment and the pro
rata taxes she pays.
In the first two propositions we have
anticipated the Governor s pleas. II ia
clear that it is not a partisan question.
II is clenr, also, that it is in no sense
a local question, but question as broad
as the State itself, and settled only,
properly, on broad, general lines, and on
correct and economic business consider
ations.
On this third point, however, while
the Governor is accurate in his presen.
tation, we doubt the wisdom of present
awaken the latent hostility against the
city which seems so thoroughly to per
meate the minds of other parts Of the
State. The dwellcrs in these parts
seem to have an ingrained idea that
Salt Lake City is draining them of their
wealth and in some way depriving them
of their rights. II has always been so,
even in the old Peoples party days.
And all the time there is the effort to
"cnch' this city and compel il TO pay
tribute TO other parts OF the State. The
dwellers in other parts of the State |
never think that Salt Lake City pays |
enough for the general State support
Even if Salt Lake paid it all, instead
Of upwards of six -tenths of it, there
would still exist that jealousy of Salt
Lake, and reluctance to appropriate
money to be used here.
We are inclined to think therefore,
hat the Governor would have been
wiser If he had omitted this reference;
or, no matter how accurate his showing
s. it will stir up antagonism and con.
ention against this locality, and
1--WE jealousy the chance for its
sual cry at even the small percent
ge of State money it gets; the oppor,
unity to shout that Salt Lake wants to
hog it all -
Still. the proposition is so evidently
ood and desirable one for the whole
tate, that capitol building is needed.
nd that now is good time to begin .,
8 construction, that we cannot but be-
eve that the public-spirited citizens
f the State will endorse it by their
otes. ,

cording to his idea, lest the Senate be
influenced by it! The rcpugnance OF
the Senate to the reception of actual
information has long been suspected,
but never before, SO far as we are
aware, has this been openly proclaimed.

sumption to suppose that any state
