THEIR CAMPAIGN HAS BEEN
UNFAIR.

There is great pressure being
brought to bear to bring out a vote
In favor OF taxing the people for a
capitol. Salt Lake is pulling every
string that can be pulled-business,
political, etc.
The Salt Lake papers are falsify-
ing to win the fight We pointed out
a day ago how the Republican CLOSED
over the weaknesses OF Salt Lakes de-
mands for the extra tax, and now we
present the following from the
Tribune:
There being. therefore. no opposi-
tion TO the proposition so far as 1t
relates to the need OF the capitol and
the propriety Of providing now for
building 1t, and since the locality
question is not before the petDle, why
not make the vote I'm favor unanimous?
There has not been one word Of a
reply in the Salt Lake papers to the
argument that the state Is entering
upon an extravaganza which fore
casts bankruptcy: there has been no
effort made TO answer the charge that
the roals OF the state are being ne
elected owing to the fact that the last
legislature was informed that the state
could not afford the expenditure. Not
one argument, other than that OF moving
the capitol, has been allowed to find
Its way into the Salt Lake papers, and
yet the Tribune makes the foregoing
assertion, which is intended to deceive
the voters.
The Tribune says there Is no oppo-
sition, although nearly all the papers
of Utah. outside Salt Lake City. have
called upon their constituents to vote
against the tax.

INCOME TAX.

While the senate is debating the
question OF federal income tax, it
Is interesting to note. says the Seattle
Post Intelligencer, the manner in
which the new budget OF the present
British ministry Is treating this same
proposition. Should an income tax be
finally determined upon by congress
as part OF the new tariff law, It might
be well to make its provisions cor
respond in come degree with those of
tho British budget.
The income tax has always been a
feature of the British taxing system.
There has been long experience had
In that country with the law, with its
possibilities of revenue and with the
difficulties had In its collection. The
changes now proposed In the British
law are based upon the experiences
of the past, and are also intended to
make the law moro equitable in its
operations. The British law makes a
sharp and equitable distinction be-
tween earned incomes and those
which come from investments. More
over, the tax Is graduated, coming
higher on the larger incomes. Earn
ed Incomes up to $4,000 year are
under the new budget to pay a tax of
pence OH the pound. Earned in
comes up to $4,000 year are to pay
tax of a shilling on the pound. 9th.

OTHER NATIONS MUST BUILD
AlRSHlPS.

The success of Zeppelln's new air
ship. or dirigible balloon, is notice to
the armies of the world that new
instrument Of war has come into use.
Army officers continue to pooh-pooh
the idea that airships Will prove ser
viceable against Notifications or
troops in the open, but why an over
head bombardment or attack Is not to
be feared is yet to be explained.
The Zeppelin airship is capable Of
conveying fifty men at one time. That
number of men might open the way
for the invasion of a country, high
explosives could be dropped from
these monsters of the air; army
maneuvers could be accurately noted
from a accommodating dirigible.
There are so many possible appli-
cations OF the airship that little doubt
remains as to the necessity OF these
weapons. and from now on there Will
be q race to build these aerial ma"
chimes, and. as result, great improve
ments may be looked for.
We can scarcely realize 1t, but the
time IS at hand when aerial navigation
is to be recognized as serviceable
mode of travel

Thirty years ago one hundred miles

A PETUlANT OLD WOMAN
WITH a TINCUP.

Salt Lake, with tears yelling from
bloodshot eyes, is holding out tin
cup to the people OF Utah, crying:
PITY the poor!"
Ogden, realizing Salt Lakes sad
plight, has placed an arm around the
old lady on the alkali flats, saying.
consolingly:
Salt Lake, don't cry If Utah will
not fill your cup TO overflowing with
pennies so that you may obtain the
money with which to house the guests
who are with you. Ogden will invite
the sojourners to that beautiful city
where nature has done so much for
the comfort of man. Ogden will save
you, dear old Salt Lake, the humilia.

But would you believe it, when Og-

lady with the lineup Salt Lake in
disnantly repelled Ogden, with this
rebuke:

Roosevelt PROVED TO BE
UNGAlLANT.

Theodore Roosevelt. after journey
ing to Nairobi, discovered that thirty
two of his seventy-two bearers OF
hunting equipment were females
Smallpox broke out in the camp while
''Bwana Tumbo" was chasing lions
through the jungle. The examination
which resulted brought out the starti-
ing disclosures that the society bellies
of Uganda had competed for the prlvl-
lege of being beasts of burdens to the
Roosevelt party.
The natives of widest Africa cannot
be very different from the Indians OF
the west, except that In dress the
male and female African IS without a
distinguishing mark, while our aDor.
igines conform to our own style Of
clothing.
A buck Indian is too mucn a gentle
man to do any laborious work, except
in dire distress. but his sQuaw Is a
willing hewer of wood anc drawer OF
water. Soon after the whites settled
In the west. the squaws could be seen
doing all the camp work, including the
transporting OF heavy bundles of sage
brush by means OF ropes binding the
loads to the back, these faithful slaves
OF mountain and prairie hunters deem
ing ii their duty TO wear themselves
out for their braves.
This same spirit seems 10 prevail In
Uganda. The ordinary hunter is evil

yelt's comfort.

den who could subscribe the million
dollars: there is one man in this city
who carried one company :or one
million dollars during the panic, so II
is all nonsense to say Oguen is not
prepared to contribute tnat sum or
money
Every real estate owner In this city
wonld subscribe to a fund to have the
capital moved and every owner oil
property, with one or two exceptions,
is ready and willing to SUBSCRIBE TO
such a fund.
But this question OF ogden and Salt
Lake rivalry over the cap;taI aside,
there is sufficient reason ror opposing
this tax on the score of economy
Every county, city and town In Utah
has been bonding to the limit and now
the state is seeking TO go in debt
beyond the limit fixed by Jne consti-
tuition. Is it not time to 90 something
to stop this riot of reckless expendI-
ture and bring the custodians of pub
lie funds to a sense of economy? The
state officers and the legislators
should be taught retrenchment. While
they can deplete the state treasury
with assurance that II they drain the
exchequer of the last dollar the people
will vote them more money by special
taxation. there will be no attempt a,
economy.
This request that the people change
the fundamental law OF the state In
order to provide means for the carry
ing out of plans calling for an outlay
OF million OF more dollars. IS an ap-
peal so out of the ordinary that the
taxpayers should be absolutely certain
that the necessity for such action is
imperative before they, by their sane
tion, set a precedent so dangerous 10
ment of state finances.

YOUNGSTERS DO
 NOVEL GAMBLING

Gambling in two forms has become prev alent among Birmingham boys in the last few months, and is being commented upon by interested people. At any hour in the day young boys may be seen in a group on the business blocks matching baseball pictures which come with cigarettes. They throw the pictures on the side- walk with the same abandon of a man shooting dice, or playing crackaloo, and the odd man rakes in the pile. It is pure ly a matter of chance to which side the little piece of pasteboard fall on, and the youngsters imagine they are en- gagged in an exciting gamble.
 The boys of the city have developed a mania for these cigarette pictures and 1t is very similar to loosing money when, after begging and saving pictures for weelks youngster loses his pile at one time Many people are commenting upon the practice, as all classes of boys are in- dulging in 1t.
 Yesterday afternoon group of older boys were caught gambling with dice in the woods back of Idlewild. They are known to have several rendezvous on Red mountain, where boys of good families re- sort. The boys discovered yesterday re- called the murder of young man just a year ago at a similar place on the Nnrth Highlands. l.
