NO FEAR FOR LEAD,

in the discussion of the differences
between the House conferees on the
tariff bill and the Senate confcrees,
there is much made Of supposed op-
position on the lead schedule The diff
terence, however, is not applicable to
the tariff on lead ores imported from
Mexico. We do not see that there is
any difference of opinion on this.
The interests of this region are very
largely involved in this matter of i'm
porting lead ore from Mexico The i'm.
portatlon of lead ore from British Co
lumbia is also involved, but of late
years this has practically ceased. The
lead ores of the Dominion are now
smeltcd in Dominion smoltcrs. but the
rush OF lead ores 10 this country from
Mexico Is increasing all the time. Lead
miners demand, what has always been
conceded TO them, a tariff on lead in
the ores imported, that will be an off
set to the difference between the cost of
peon labor IN Mexico used in the mines
there, and the wages paid TO free
-1''o''N 'Nhh hiIutIs IN Vne lcaQ mines OF
this country.
Inc House committee on WAYS and
Means, whom the tariff bill was first
put In shape, seemed inclined TO cut
TINS lead ore rate but thought better
OF IT and reported this item IN the new
schedule Just as it has been under the
DlngleY bill and before the Dingley bill
was passed; that is, $50 per hundred
Tor the lead in the ore. 1t so passed
both the House and the Senate, with
out any question being seriously raised
upon 1T, so this is not matter of con
terence between the two Houses. hav-
lng been agreed 10 by both And this
portion of the schedule is not brought
III question now. 1t is the portion of
the lead schedule in the paragraphs en-
braccd in the paint schedules and other
articles manufactured from lead. So
That upon this account the lead min.
eTs of this region have nothing to fear,
ana nave no reason to expect any fight.
They made the fight when the House
Committee on Ways and Means was
Wavcrng and achieved their usual and
rlGhtful victory In having the rates
contlnue as III the old schedule. And
thcre appears to be no reason TO an
,lclpatc any serious attempt now TO
reopen this question. In fact. there is
no way to open 1T. as this part of the
bill Is fully agreed upon. by both Sen
ate and House, without controversy.

MILK DEALERS EVIL PLEAS.

BY reason of the paltry added ex
pense involved in bringing milk to mar
kct in this city in a hcalthful and san
itary condition, compared with the cost
of bringing il here in bad condition.
it is said that the dealers arc about
to increase their prices. No increase
however, is .iustiGable: because, first Of
all, the milk dealers had no business
to supply unsanitarv or unfit milk al
any time, But their confession that,
in order 10 supply pure and wholesome
milk, they have to increase an already
abnormally high price for milk, is n
dead givc.away on their business. n
plain confession of the impurity OF
their supply heretofore, The more
general this increase is claimed to be
necessary, the more general Is the con
fession that the people OF this city
have been roundly abused in their milk
supply of the past For the reputo of
the concerns supplying milk to the peo-
pie of Salt Lake, we should hope that
this confession that they have been
supplying unwholesome and unsanitary
milk in the past. and that to supply
wholesome and sanitary milk in The fu.
turc will require additional expense,
should be held within as narrow limits
as possible. In fact. il would be far
better to have no such plea at all from
concerns making such an unrighteous
and sclf-convicting excuse as this for
h, ~,
But aside from the degree of guilt
involved in claiming an increase in the
price of milk to be necessary in order
10 to get pure and wholesome milk,
that plea is not justified on economic
grounds. for the price Of milk is al
ready excessively high / this city, The
people ought not TO have TO pay as
much rs they have been paying for the
best milk; but the dealers now admit
by their pleas for a higher price that
their milk has been unwholesomc and
unSanitary. For any dealer who claims
that in order 10 have wholesome and
sanitary milk he must advance the
price, thereby pleads guilty Of supply
ing unwholesome and unsanitary milk
III the past at the old prices
For these two reasons the Scfcon-
victing character of the plea and tho
already excessive price, We hope that
the dealers will not insist upon raising
the price of milk; for, TO do So would
be clear and scandalous arraignment
Of themselves, and it would be an op
preston upon the people, in raising a
price that is altogether TOO high The
dealers had better think twice over this
proposition before making any move ID
raise the price of milk

THE PRINCIPLE is FIRM.

BOISE has won lis fight against the
express companies before the Inter
state Commerce Commission. The es,
pecial point involved seems to have
been that the express companies
charged, for instance, on an cioht
pound package, if prepaid in New York.
Nl.2S; but If the express charge is paid
at Boise, the charge is 1920. The Com.
mission holds that the shipper is JUS
titled in fixing reasonable rates, but
when he fixes lower charge. as the
SI.2S, he is not justified in charging
$50 at the point of delivery. IF the
shipper charges $1.2S on such pack.
age IN New York, the company is not
allowed to charge more than $I.2S on
that package upon its arrival in Boise,
That is, the delivery charge must be
the same as the receiving charge.
In considering the matter further,
however, the Interstate Commerce Com.
mission adhered to the same principle
that it laid down in the Spokane rate
case. where it says: 'The system must
be developed by which express rates
shall conform TO the standards TO which
the railroads have in great measure CON
formed and which the law epioins, ,,
Thls meaning that the question of dis
tancc as whole must come in in fixing
the rate Of expressage, the same as in
liking the rate of freight charges on
the railroads. In adding this it is clear
that the Commission has fixed in its
mind the idea of proportional or ratio
charges according to distance, other
things being equal.
The significance Of this as bearing
on Salt Lake railroad freight rate case
IS that the principle of the Spokane
case appears TO be firmly grounded in
the minds of the Commission, and that
being SO, the principle put forth by
the Commission in the Spokane case is
a fixed principle. and viii be made to
apply to Salt Lake rates on class and
commodity charges for freight. Being
so, Salt Lake is already assured of sue.
cess on the principle for which it con
tends; and the chief thing to labor up
on Is to adjust the rates, commodity
and class, according to that principle.

period when the revenues Will again

and that if the return of that happy
condition should be delayed longer than
now seems probable. the sale Of Panama

canal account, would be ample 10 meet

THE TREASURY RESOURCES.

The Government officials. it appears.
arc getting ratified at the vast cXpendi-
lures making the present month, And
vet. July is always a month of great
expenditures. Even in a time when
the T. S. treasury customanly showed
big surplus ii was common enough for
the month of July TO show deficit.
The reason is, that now is begun the
new fiscal year, the new appropriations
have become available, and are very
heavily drawn upon. This year, no
doubt, the month will show very heavy
deficit; but that need not discourage
the administration; for there arc ample
resources available.
First, there is the present money sur
plus Of the treasury, amounting to
$63, 900 600, in the dcpositary banks at
the end Of June. and calls are out for
$50 000.0 900 of this. The available cash
balance on June 30th, IN the Treasury,
was 1924 453,s4l. which is ample to
relieve any anxiety as TO current cX-
pepditurc.
Next. there IS Il resource of $3i ,420,-
2S6 paid ont of current revenues during
the year as Panama canal account. and
most of the emergency three per cent
Treasury certificates unwisely thrown
on the market in the fall Of 1907 by
Secretary Cortelyou have been re-
deemed; but $l4 ,IS6,500 of these are
now outstanding. 1t is clear that the
Treasury is entitled to recoup itself
by the issue Of Panama canal bonds for
the $31 ,120,2s6 expended during the
year on canal account. 1t is equally
entitled 10 reimbursement for $3S ,093,-
800 paid out the fiscal year before on
canal account. 1t is, further. admitted
that the Treasury may properly issue
canal bonds to the amount of $4,000,
900 to cover the amount paid the French
company on account of the purchase Of
the canal. To this may properly be
added also the $l0000,0O0 paid to
Panama for the canal concession. Here
is. therefore, an aggregate Of $ll9,514,-
2l5 which the Treasury may properly
recover on canal account.
OF course, there is the ultimate re-
source. mentioned in the dispatches, of
! treasury borrowings. which have been
so freely used in past emergencies. But
if the tariff measure is really reve-
nue. producer, as il ought 10 be, and
II the country is recovering from the
currency panic, as all reports agree that
it is, the resource on canal account
ought TO be abundant to carry the
country over the present pinch.
1t is TO be remarked that the common
assumption that the National revenue
fell off largely the past year as com.
pared with the year before, is an error.
The contrary was the fact. The aggre.
gate revenues of the fiscal year which
ended June 80, 1909 were 1904 ,432 .S47,
compared with S60l, ,l26,l ,l19 for the fis.
cal year previous. which ended June
30, 1908 1t would appear. therefore
that with the returning prosperity
there is every reason 70 expect that
the financial resources of the Govern
ment, Immediately available. arc amrlc

HILL BooMs FOR PROSPERITY.

President James ], Hill of the two
great railroads from the old Northwest
to the Pacific Northwest, is out in an
optimistic interview. He thinks that
when the tariff is out of the way, I" this
country viii enjoy a prosperity which
viii at. least equal, if it does not sur
pass, that which it knew under the Nc
kinley administration.
That is good way to put it, And
as the tariff is likely TO be out of the
way Just about the time that the first
fruits of the new and magnificent crops
are coming in, there will be coincident
boom that is likely TO carry out Presl-
dent Hill s forecast in good style.
Every one, moreover. IS anxious to see
his forecast come true, and will do eV
erything possible to make il true.
This Will further be helped by the feel.
ing of confidence that prevails through
out the country in the splendid revival
of business, finance, and industry.
President Hill is a shrewd observer,
man of large affairs and extensive
opportunities TO form judgments on
conditions and anticipate coming
changes. He was alone, so far as we
know, in his forecast of the Roosevelt
panic of 1907, and was much dcridcd
in some quarters for his announcement
that storm was coming. When the SKY
was yet clear. But the storm came, and
IT was "A twister sure enough. And now
that his voice is heard on the prosperity
side, we do not forget how sound his
Judgment was before, and are quite pre-
pared TO accept il now. especially as
it il fortified by so many evidences all
pointing in the same direction

DREYFUS AS he IS NOW:
uNP0puLA AR AND DlSLIKED

PARIS, Jan. 27.-It is safe to
say that the central figure of the
Dreyfus affair, Dreyfus himself
has fewer friends and admirers in
his triumph than he had in his
distress. He has failed to win
over his antagonists (the unbri-
died anti-Semitic and Royalist Or
gans continue with impunity to
refer to him as LIE Traitre"), and
he has contrived to get himself
disliked by nearly all his former
champions, who cynically affirm
that "his innocence is his principal
virtue"
Justly dissatisfied with the law
of PREPARATION of 1906, which ac-
corded him less than he would
have obtained in the natural
course of events, and which rem
dered it impossible for him ever to
attain the highest grades in the
army. he demanded his superan-

nuation at the end of a year. He
is now living with his family in
the Pare Monceau quarter of Paris,
in a corner apartment house of the
Boulevard Malesherbes, which diff
fers in no essential respect from a
hundred other apartment houses
In the same district.
Never having recognized that
his cause was q political one, he
refuses persistently to "play poll
tics" He is neither an anti-mflf-
tarist nor a rabid anti-clerical.l In
short, Dreyfus is the least "Drey-
fusard of the Dreyfusards"--a
fact which the majority of his ex-
champions can neither understand
nor forgive. He limits his social
relations mainly to his kindred
and intimate friends. He appears
rarely in public, but makes 1t q
point of honor to attend the cere-
monies which commemorate the
important incidents of his affair."

OLYMPIA, Jan. 27.-A bill
soon to be introduced by the
committee on revenue and taxa
ton will provide tax for nearly
every occupation Of q professional
nature. Doctors, lawyers, agents
who sell articles, BARRIERS, all
shops and stores, breweries, in
fact about everything that tax
or license can be affixed to wil'

The bill was conceived by Rep
resentative Lambert. With him 1t
is merely a question Of state rev.
enue and he believes that he can
raise by this manner from half
to q million dollars year.
Mr.. Lambert is anxious to have
the deficit In the state treasury
cleared up. It's void that trou-
bles him. He sees no way of ever
cutting down the states expenses
so that the state may catch up
with itself in a financial way and
is seeking some new means of
getting the money.
