As people we are indeed beyond
measure fortunate in the characters Of
the two greatest OF our public men.
Washington and Lincoln. They were
alike in essentials-they were alike in
the great qualities which rendered each
able TO render service TO his nation
and 10 all mankind such as no other
man OF his generation could or did
render. There have been other men as
great and other men as good. but In
all the history Of mankind there are
no other two great men as good as
these, no other two good men as great.
Widely though the problems Of today
differ from the problems set for solu-
ton TO Washington when he founded
this nation. to Lincoln when he saved
1t and freed the slave. yet the qualities
they showed in meeting these prob
lens are exactly the same as those we
should show in doing our work today.
Lincoln saw into the future with the
prophetic Imagination usually vouch

NOT FIT To
REVISE TARIFF
Carnegie Says Congress Is In
capable tOFix Just Schedule.
BIPARTISAN BOARD NEEDED

Iron Master Asserts conaressmen Are
Not Trained to Deal With the Tariff
and Depend Upon Evidence Of Inter
ested Parties to Guide Them-Pro-
poses Supreme Industrial Court TO
Control Trusts.
New York. Feb. 1S.-Andrew Carne-
gie declared that congress is incapa-
bue of fixing just tariff schedule.
and that permanent bipartisan com
mission OF experts is the only solution
Of the ever troublesome tariff problem.
Mr.. Carnegie urged that all manufact-
urers OF the country attend the ma
tional tarin commission convention.
which assemblies at Indianapolis on
FEB. 10. tie also asserted that the
average congressman as n rule is un-
equipped by training or knowledge to
fairly and Understandings deal with
such an abStruse proposition as tariff.
Mr.. Carnegie's views were made
known at his residence TO n represen-
tative OF American Industries. the Of
fetal publication OF the National As
ISOLATION OF Manufacturers. He said:
Uninformed Of True Conditions.
The difficulty with tariff oo.nmis-
sions or regulators composed & n on-
bers OF congress is that these gentle
men are necessarily uniformed upon
the true conditions OF the various in.
dustries. Evidence given by interest
ed parties cannot be depended upon as
disinterested. Interested people form
distorted Views. colored as these are
oy their own interests. This IS newt
able. Such is human nature. They
may not wish to deceive. They are
themselves deceived.
Congressman hearing evidence on
the technical points OF an industry are
not familiar with the language. They
cannot understand the bearing OF the
testimony given.
Another misfortune IS that con
gressional tariff committees get no
trustworthy evidence upon conditions
In other countries. and before men can
legislate wisely they must be informed
upon the relative conditions OF both
domestic and foreign manufacturers.
There should be a permanent stan
OF able. disinterested men. charged
with studying conditions in all manu-
featuring countries. The Industrial
world is about 20 undergo the most
momentous change known IN It's his
tory. even more farreaching than was
the change from the individual domes-
tic manufacturer. manufacturing at
home. to the factory system ana the
huge establishments OF today.
Industrial Court 70 Curb Trusts.
These virtual monopolies must be
controlled in some way or other. A SUI
prene industrial court will have to be
created. and eventually will have to
pass upon prices-disguise this as we
may. This is even a larger question
than the tariff. but our trouble with
revision OF the tariff will be greatly
overcome by a body OF experts. keep
Ing themselves fully informed OF all
matters pertaining to the question.
The new industrial court may make
mistakes. as our interstate commerce
commission may. but both will grad
ually create traditions and make de-
eisions which will be guides for the
future"

OLD FOLKS WILL OWN
UTAH CAPITAL TODAY
Arrangements Completed to
Give Pioneers the Time of
Their Lives.

Today is Old Folk s day, and in Salt
Lake City the aged residents Of the
state, between Payson on the south and
Brigham City on the north, own the
earth. The gathering of the old people
will excel anything ever seen in this
city. 1t is expected that fully 1000
people, more than 10 years of age, Will
participate IN the celebration.
Both the Denver & Rio Grande and
the Oregon Short Line are running spe-
cial excursions for the event, and the
trains over both of these lines will ar
rive here at 10 a. m. At tho depot,
the old people will be met by automo-
biles. and a parade will be held on the
principal streets of tho city. All the
owners Of automobiles in the city are
requested to be at the depots at 10
o. clock this morning to meet tho trains
as they come In. It is the desire Of
the general committee that all owners
of autos south of Second South go TO
the j. g. r., 6, depot and those north
of Second South 90 TO the Short Line
depot.
After the parade the old folks will
be taken to Temple square, where, af-
ter a musical programme has been
rendered in the tabernacle, big lunch
con will be served. A feature Of the
musical programme at the tabernacle
will be several selections by Prof. ].
J. McClellan'5 IS symphony orchestra
The general committee is afraid there
will not be sufficient automobiles vol
unteered for the purpose and therefore
asks that the owners OF carriages like
wise volunteer their aid.
