oeDEN CAN GET THE STATE
CAPITAL.

The victory of Tuesday is proof that
II Ogden wants the state capital. this
city can obtain 1t by organizing and
making a fight for it. Country Utah
is opposed to Salt Lake City. The
smaller cities and the down-state
counties have been bolldozed until
there Is feeling of antipathy. which
could be made to serve Ogden to good
purpose, IL the people decide they
want the capital
A contest owe: the capital would
prove celebrating and might figure
out q highly profitable venture.
AS David Eccles put it when he re-
turned home and learned that s250,OO0
had been offered for the capitol, the
action appealed to him as somewhat
of a joke, but he began to figure on
the proposition and, to mis- surprise,
discovered that Ogden and Weber
county, In the course of fifteen years
woald have paid, under the proposed
tax. about $25O.OOO in taxes. "And
then" he said. Il was ready to join
In making the offer not only S250,O0O,
but hall million dollars"
Mr. Eccles says the proposition to
tax the property of the state one mill
for fifteen years might nave proved
real burden, and he cites the fact
that the property valuation within the
state Will soon reach the 5000, 900 900
mark. which Will, according to the
constitution, call for a reduction In
the rate of taxation. That means that
the tax rate will be reduced. but prop
erty VIII be assessed at a higher val
uation. He points to Kansas, where
the property valuation has been great
ly increased of late years and the Pate
OF taxation reduced. With every ad-
vance In valuation, the proposed ono
mill of taxation would take on larger
proportions until, if Utah were to fol-
low the example Of Kansas, the one
mill might become the equivalent OF a

WHY THE GOVERNOR REGRETS
TO LEAVE SALT LAKE,

Governor Spry, when interviewed on
the failure of the capitol tax TO carry.
gave out an interview. in which he
said:
One thing / wish to say. however,
and that is that ] appreciate more
than / can express the loyal support
the proposition has been given by tho
papers of Salt Lake City. They have
been wide awake to the needs of the
capitol building and they have done
all that was possible TO make the peo-
pie see where their interests and the
interests of the state were centered
in this matter, | wish to thank them
all most heartily"
The Governor, by this time. should
have his eyes open. Instead OF admir-
Ing the Salt Lake papers. he should
begin to appreciate the papers of the
state outside Salt Lake that labored
SO diligently TO inform him before
election what the result would be or
course we know appreciate means 10
value correctly, and, therefore. we
feel that the Governor abuses the
word when he says he appreciates
the loyal support Of the Salt Lake
papers, unless he means to say that
their support has been measured and
found wanting.
From now on he, no doubt, will ap.
preciate a number of papers In tbs
state not within the limits of his own
balllwick.

that you regret very much, in fact

informed them that Ogden, at least,
was unitedly laborlng to defeat tae

MAYOR CALLAGHAN HAS
TO TAKE WATER.
Court Issues Mandamus to Compel
San Antonio to Issue Building
Permit,

San Antonio, Texas, Nov. 22.-The
colors of the Salvation Army were
once more victorious in their tussle
with Mayor Callaghan and the city
council over an ordinance. prohibiting
the erection of a house of refuge for
fallen women within the city limits
Judge A. W. Seeligson of the 57th
district court held the ordinance pass
ed to be unconstitutional and granted
a writ of mandamus compelling the
city building inspectors to issue a
permit for the erection of the build
ing on the property chosen by the
plaintiff. The city attorney accepted
the ruling of the court and gave no.
tice of an appeal.
Mayor Callaghan and the city coun-
ell take the stand that the presence
of the building within the city limits
would be Objectionable owing to the
character of the inmates, and that
many property owners would sustain
serious losses through this.
