WHAT COMES OF THE LAND
SHOW.

Mr.. J. Edward Taylor comes back
from his service Of Utah in the lana
show at Chicago. and is followed by
many letters from persons who viewed
the exhibit of his state. and have faith
in the resources of Utah. Here is
sample letter. It speaks for itself. And
it is one Of the evidences of the fact
that Governor Spry and his friends
did wisely and well when they made
Utah part of the big exposition:
Chicago, December Mr.. ]. Ed
ward Taylor Salt Lake, Utah:
would ask what wife and I can do with
three thousand dollars. We would like
to take UP some land that would give
us living. Although no longer young
am ready to go out west, and ask
your advice.
Then he signs his name. He had
visited the land show. He had seen
Utah in competition with the other
states of the far west, and believed
he could do better here than elsewhere.
He is one of the countless numbers
who took note Of the same evidences,
and have come to the same conclusion.
He is one of the men Utah wants.
Every inquiry that follows the exhibit
means a possible addition to the popu-
lation of the state, and to the pro-
ductive forces Of Utah. The effort to
put people on the land" is aided by
the results Of the land show Now it
is up to the people of the state to
reap the harvest.

TAKE THEIR WORK SERIOUSLY.

In the current number Of the North
western Christian Advocate there is an
able editorial, the effect Of which is
rather forcibly expressed by the follow
ing extract:
The magi with his star, the chief
priest with his Scripture! And which
is the better man? The shepherd with
his song, and the scribe with his scroll
And which the more likely disciple.
What must the magi have thought OF
the scribe who knew and was indif-
feTent; what of the chief priest whose
theology was scientific and whose de-
vOtion was dead? This must have
been the real stumbling block to the
travellers from a far country. What
could any king Of the Jews matter to
an outsider where the Jews themselves
were without eagerness and without
concern? Does Christianity propose
the conquest Of the world? Then
Christians must take their religion
seriously. Would any thoughtful wise
man from India or China be greatly
impressed with the Christianity of
Christian Europe or of Christian Eng
land and America? Is Christ having
a fair chance at the world through the
civilization which bears His name and
which assumes to represent Him?
And the plain statement Of the case
is followed with the even more harsh
declaration: Sometimes it looks as if
Christianity itself must be re-Chris-
tanned" That is a word from the
church, because a paper so promi-
nent in one Of the most powerful
of all denominations can be under
stood as little less than committing
/ Christendom 20 a confession Of indif-
ference and insincerity,
We pointed out not long ago the
success attending work in the Mormon
meeting houses, and explained the
large and regular attendance solely on
the ground that the young people are

religion. A like convincing Of the
young in other denominations must
have a like effect. A conviction in the
minds Of the young in any church thai
/ their elders are lukewarm, that they
/ do not really believe, that they have
/ other interests taking precedence oil
their church obligations-that sort OF
conviction will make for slender at
/ tendance and little attention in any
/ sanctuary in town-or in the world.
The question Of the Advocate is
pointed, and can not be escaped. There
is reason for asking it, and he who

OF course money and property will
be safe enough there in Malaga. But
no salt Lake man feels that he should
be forced 20 go there, just to keep his
cash drawer from being looted. Sc

these business men in Salt Lake have
a feeling that they should have security

WHERE FARMING DOESN'T PAY.

Here is an interesting story from
Consul Freeman in the state of
Durango, Mexico; Corn raising is one
Of the principal features. and very
profitable feature it is. The system in
operation is as follows: All the cattle
used in farming are ranch property
one yoke Of oxen being used to assist
in planting, cultivating, and caring
for about eleven or twelve acres of
land. At the commencement Of the
season. June, the renters Of the land
take a yoke of oxen for each eleven
or twelve acres to be cultivated, ana
for which they are charged so per
yoke for the season. The renter then
has a credit at the ranch store which
enables him to live while raising a
crop. He signs a contract to raise a
crop and to give the landowner one
half clear Of all expenses. The goods
from the store are sold at about so
per cent profit.
The corn husking is done as follows:
All renters report at headquarters, and
the overseers form them into groups
Of forty or fifty. which work together
throughout husking. Each man is al
lowed 50 cents Mexican (25 cents
American currency per day for his
work. The cost OF huslCng is charged
to the renter whose field is being
worked. The corn is divided. The
first CARLOAD is for the ranch owner
the second is applied to the store &C.
count Of the renter, and so on until
the store account, the $40 for oxen, the
cost Of husking, and all other debts
have been taken out of the renters
share. After all accounts are settled
then every other CARLOAD goes to the
renter. However, little is coming tC
the renter besides enough to last him
until spring, and often the ranch owner
has to commence selling 70 The renter
as early as February, corn at a big
profit, corn to be credited on the next
seasons crop. Corn taken from renters
at husking is credited at $3.50 Mexican
per hectoltter. Corn sold to renters IN
the spring brings IS to $3.50 Mexican
per hectoliter.
The Mexican peso or dollar equal:
4s8 cents; the hectoliter equals 2.83'
bushels

The doctrine Of state rights should
be respected-within limits. But if the
national government can better eradi-
cate the white slave evil than can the
several states. then no objection should
be made to giving the government full
swing. If the white slave traffic must
be unmolested in order to protect the
doctrine Of state rights, then the doc
trine better so to the scrap heap.

WORKING UNDER NEW SCALE
NO STRIKE YET OF LOCAL TAX
ICAB CHAUFFEURS.
Men Ask for Conference With Com
pany Directors on Thursday.
May Refuse Their Pay.

Awaiting a reply from the officials of
the Terminal Taxicab Company regarding
their request that the old scale Of wages
be continued, the chauffeurs are still at
work at the taxicab wheels. They regard
a strike as the last resort, and therefore
desire not to take such step until all
other means of having their requests
granted have been exhausted.

cation which is in charge of the nego-

sires to present it's grievance to the board

ing any drastic action. and has requested
a hearing Thursday.

made by the company, the new scale of
wages was put into effect this morning,

GETTING LESS WAGES TODAY
CONDITION OF employees OF
TELEGRAPH COMPANIES.
Facts Made Known to the Senate in
Report of the Commis-
sioner of Labor.

That conditions affecting telegraph
operators and employees of the telegraph
companies are not favorable as they
were twenty-five years ago in the mat
ter of wages, and also that operators re-
ceive today less wages than they did a
year ago, will be among the facts made
known to the United States Senate to-
day.
The report of the commissioner of la
Dor. Charles p. Neill. upon the telegraph
and telephone companies, as directed by
the Senate resolution of May 2S. was
transmitted TO the Senate today. 1t re-
lates only to the telegraph companies
and the statement is made that the time
was not sufficient to compile the tele-
phone data.
The report deals with methods of han
ding the pubic's business, hours, wages
and conditions of labor of telegraph en-
ployes, and receipts and expenditures for
a period of five years are reported for
the Western Union only. In the matter
of handling the public's business the re-
port indicates that messages are classi-
fled and certain classes of business have
preference over others.
Toll Rates Compared.
The toll rates are compared for the
years 1873. 1883 and 1908 between various
points, and the telegraph rates in Euro
pean countries are given. The subject of
filing time is quite fully discussed, and
in an appendix is given d digest of the
state laws. with complete transcript of
sections of the law in certain states deal
ing with the matter discussed in the re-
port.
The report takes up the matter of
wages and working conditions quite fully,
dealing with the subjects of overtime

April, 1907, and 1908 are tabulated some
what in detail. and show a decrease in
average rate in most Of the cities for
both companies.
The decrease in average rate of wages
for the Postal company is not so great
as that shown for the Western Union
nor is there decrease in quite such
large percentage Of cities.
