PRESIDENT TAFT SENDS FIRST ANNUAL MESSAGE TO C0NGREssS

emancipation proclamation granting
freedom to the negroes: 1t seems ut.
ting that this event should be proper
~ celebrated. Already a movement
has been. started by prominent ne
groes. encouraged by prominent white
people and the press. The South es'
pecially is manifesting its interest IN
this moyemen ut.
1t is suggested that a proper form
OF celebration would be an exposition

have made. not only during their
period OF freedom, but also from the
time OF their coming to this country.

request that the executive be author

sitlon. and II so, to outline q plan Tor
the enterprise. further recommend
that such preliminary commission
serve without salary. except as TO
their actual expenses. and that an ap-
preparation be made 10 meet such
expenses.
Conclusion.
| have thus, in a message CON-
pressed as much as the subjects will
permit, referred TO many Of the leg
islatIve needs OF the country. with
the exception already noted. SPEAK
ing generally, the country Is IN
high state OF prosperity. There is
every reason to believe that We are
on the eve of substantial business
expansion. and we have just garner
ed harvest unexamplsd in the mar
ket value of cur agricultural prod lcts
The high prices which such products
bring mean great prosperity for the
farming community. but on the otner
hand they mean very considerably
increased burden upon those classes
in the community whose yearly COM
pensation does not expand with the
improvemt mt in business ami the gen.
eral prosperity Various reasons are
given fer the high prices. The pro-
portionate increase in the output OF
gold. which today is the chief medium
OF exchange AMI is in come respects
a measure lOi value. furnishes a SUD
stantiaI explanation of at least part
of the increase in prices. The In
crease in population and the more
expensive mode of living of the peo-
ple, which have not been accompanied
BY a qroportionate increase acre
age production. may furnish furtn-
err reason. II Is well TO note that the
qncrease in the cost of living is not
confined to this country. but prevails
the world over. and that those who
would charge increases In prices TO
existing protective tariff must meet
the fact that the rise in prices has
taken place almost wholly In those
prodrcts of the factory and farm IN
respect to which there has been eith-
er no increase in the tariff or In many
instances a very considerable reduc-
ton.

purchases three years ago, and its ulti-
mate effect and result on commercial
economic conditions here cannot De
calculated at this time Such events cast
long, long shadows and exert influences
that crop out, where least expected,
months and years later. When the i'm
mensity OF the transaction is considered
carefully, the manner in which ii has
been evolved will stand as one of the fin
est incidents of business engineering Salt
Lake will know for a long time.
throughout the year, so carefully, so
nicely have the Auerbachs proceeded that
scarcely leak of their intentions has
gone out, for such an event would most
certainly have proven disastrous to the
final success Of their plans. The town
is small and there are many divergent
interests at work, and 1t is far more DIFF
ficult to proceed successfully and secret
! ly with such great transaction than is
the case in a larger city. All of which
speaks volumes for those who have had
Former Owners of Property.
In the block across from the Knutsford
and through which the two new streets
are to be opened up, the property Mr..
Auerbach has acquired was formerly
owned by John E. DOnnell2n, the Sails
bury company, Anna Nj. Conner, Albert
Fisher. Joseph Morris, Joseph Bioomquist,
J. z. De Bouzek and Salt Lake City cor
poration.
As to the later effect of the deal To-
cally there can be no question. but that
the news Of the transaction going into
eastern financial circles will create an
impression for this city the value of which
no man would care to estimate is also
true. In the visit here of Paul Morton
and other big eastern capitalists, the past
few months, their investigation into real
~ values here and the prospects of the
city there Is seen, by those who read the
handwriting on the wall a trend toward
Salt Lake that will ultimately result in
the investment of millions in local real
~ and business. When, too, it is con-
sidered that Mr.. AusrbaCh has many and
varied eastern financial interests in adj
dltiOn to his Salt Lake holdings, and that
undoubtedly there are many splendid OPP
portunities open to him in the east for
the gilt-edged investment of q sum so
great as two millions of dollars, il is real
lied that not only must his own judg
ment of Salt Lakes value as an invest
ment point be of the most steadfast sort,
but his action cannot help but direct to
this city the attention of his wealthy east
look with questioning eyes toward that
mtermountatn city where one of their
number sees fit To put a great fortune.
Samuel H. Auerbach, the moving spirit
in the big deal, came to Salt Lake in
1864 and with ms brother started in the
mercantile business. THIS institution be-
came one of the largest IN the west Mr..
Auerbach was attracted by real estate
values and invested heavily until mis-
holdings became large. Three years ago
he left Salt Lake and went to New
York. where he has been living since
He has many eastern interests. He has
always been regarded in Salt Lake as

SO long as class distinctions. based

For man because he Is wealthy

against the man who by honest ef-
