ANNExtNG THE FRUIT.
BELT OF UTAH

A dummy engine. pulling a string
OF cars, moved down Wall avenue TO
Twen.y-ninth street yesterday morn
ing. This was the opening of all that
part of the city to rail communica"
ton which at present Is confined to
construction work. but later is TO
serve In the transporting of passcn-
gers by trolley service.
These changes are reminders that
Ogden is growing. The southwest
end of the city was an empty space 4
few years ago but today there are
houses building on every block. and
the population has increased to pro-
portions which warrant a trolley SER
vice.
When completed, the Twenty-sec-
ond street car will run over this new
road. connecting at Washington ave
nue. and Twenty-fifth street with all
cars.
The Ogden Rapid Transit company
is entitled to praise for the campaign
of street car building which was in
augurated early this year and Will
not end until the county Is girdlcd
with bands of steel.
Before the road through the canyon
or on TO Plain City is completed. the
commencement of work on the exten-
sion of the line from the Hot Springs
10 Brigham City and beyond, to the
site of the new cement works, will
round out q season of unprecedented
activity on the part of the ogden
Rapid Transit people.
These suburban roads must serve
TO build up Ogden. The extension
of the Hot Springs trolley line would
annex to Ogden the entire fruit belt
of northern Utah, place the big ce-
ment plant at our back door and prove
a great factor In increasing the
wealth and population of this city.

One June S-thrce weeks from next
Tuesday-an election will be held
throughout Utah, at which the taxpay-
ers Will be called upon to decide
whether they are in favor of this ex-
ira taxation.
Some time between now and June
s, a delegation of Salt Lake boosters
will address the people Of Ogden on
this question, and at the head of the
boosters will be Governor Spry. While
Mr.. Spry is an excellent Governor OF
whom we are proud, we fear he has
allowed this capitol project to become
one of his hobbies to the extent of
closing his eyes to the fact that the
burden of taxation now upon the prop
erty holders of Utah forbids any ad-
dition to the load.
We suggest to Governor Spry thai
he drop the capitol agitation and pro-
ceed, without extra taxation, to pre-
pare to build a state building; that
he advocate such economies In state
affairs that eventually there will be
funds sufficient for this structure with
out a call for higher taxes.
Ogden should vote solidly against
the proposed increase in taxation.

MISSING WIFE IS
FOUND IN CELLAR

Presho, S. D., May 13.-The body Of
the wife OF William l.. Lansing was
found in the cellar Of their home last
night with the head crushed by a
hammer. The husband was missing at
the time and was suspected Of the
crime. A sheriff and posse immedi-
ately began search. After securing
the country all night they discovered
him twenty-five miles north of Presho,
in a claim shack on the Brule reser-
walton. He fought against capture and
was shot through the chest, two bull
lets taking effect. He lived but a
short time. None of the posse was In
jured.
Lansing had threatened his wife and
her brother because Of divorce pro-
ceedings. The woman was evidently
stunned by blow OF the fist, carried
into the cellar and her skull crushed
by hammer blow. The body was hid
den under the floor, covered over and
partly burned. Lansing remained at
the house six hours after his crime
and planned, the police say, to kill the
children.

PROSPERITY TO
COME WITH BILL

New York, May 13.-"The compile
tion OF a tariff bill satisfactory to
the people of the country will bring
to the United states a reasonable,
rational, and | hope, permanent pros
perity," said Franklin McVeagh, sec.
retary OF the treasury, tonight at
private dinner given at the Union
League club in MS homer by George
s. Terry, assistant treasurer Of the
United States. at New York. The
guests included thirty bank presi-
dents.
McVeaGh. "the business situation
throughout the country is hopeful.
We are not worrying about the de-
ficit The main question perhaps Is.
will the new tariff answer the eXpec
tations of the people?
"The administration is approaching
the question of currencyfi banking and
treasury reforms with an open mind
and with hospitality toward the sug-
gestions of bankers and others who
know the situation.
"One thing the administration has
already accomplished, and | regard it
as the most important movement In
many years, l refer to President
Taft's action In introducing the Idea
Of systematic balance budget In
Mr Taft's cabinet the secretaries will
present their estimates and these will
be studied and overhauled with view
TO the amount of revenue available
an with regard to the comparative
necessities of the different depart
ments. In congress, took the Idea OF
a budget and Of the study of the
government in which expenditure and
revenues related have taken form in
the senates creating a committee on
expenditures which will bring to-
gether the estimated revenues and
the estimated expenditures and will
decide whether the imposition of the
additional taxes is necessary.
"The report of the monetary com
mission, soon to come, marks another
most important step. This, | believe
will afford basis for the establish
ment Of banking and currency sys-
tenn in America which will begin the
permanent cure of the troubles of the
banking and commercial interests OF
the country"

SALT LAKE PAPERS CLAIM
OGDEN AS THEIR OWN.

The Salt Lake morning papers are
offended because the Examiner insiets
on retaining the Ogden morning field.
They cannot free themselves from the
thought that ogden Is an annex of
Salt Lake City and should be held Us
such in the newspaper service. To
advance their aims, the Tribune and
Herald greet the Examiner as an in
terloper and try to fix upon 1t a sus-
picion as to its object and purpose.
This Is the old. old story. The love
the Salt Lake papers have for Ogden
passes understanding. Their editors
remain awake. when they should be
sleeping, in order to serve Ogden TO
good purpose; they even labor to up
build Ogden at the expense of Salt
Lake.
Seriously, whenever they can drive
business concern out OF Ogden, they
do so. but always under the plea that
Ogden should be served from Salt
Lake.
1t is new phase to an old figI/
which has been on since the first Og
den paper entered the morning news.
paper field.
The quarrel concerns us only to tho
extent that In any contest in which
Salt Lake forces are attempting tc
destroy Ogden institutions, our sym
pathy is with tho Ogdenites.
The Standard, by keeping out of tho
contention, may profit by the anlmosi
ties to the extent of annexing those

CLEMENCEAU is A HATED
OFFICIAL.

A correspondent of the Chicago Her
aid tells of the causes of the present
strike in France. Directly the cause
comes from what the postal employees
call the system of ''trlvisions;" in
directly it is an open rebellion against
the Clemenceau ministry and against
Clemenceau himself The minister,
say, the leaders of the Confederation
Generate du Travail, not only became
intolerant and obnoxious, but forgot
the workingmen TO whom he appealed
when out of power and by whose votes
he reached the premiership. They al
lege that promises given by him as Z
politician We're cast aside when he
became a statesman. Former Minister
Millerand, during his incumbency as
minister of posts and telegraphs, had
Instituted system of promotions by
which 70 per cent Of the employees
passed to a superior class at the end
Of three years. M. Simyan, the pres
ent incumbent. modified this by di-
vidlng the postal forces into three
classes, one-third of whom were to be
promoted at the end of three years
and three months, and one-third at
the end Of three years and six months.
This tri-division necessitated a new
classification. and that classification
according to .he postal and telegraph
employees, was being arbitrarily made.
M. Simyan denied this
M. Simyan has the support Of Gle
menceau and the dispatches from
Paris agree that there Is no intima-
ton on the part of the government
that he is to be dismissed. On the
contrary, the ministry Is firmly op-
posed to the organization OF a syndi
cate. II this flrmness had been mani
tested at the beginning, the present
crisis might have been avoided. BY
recognizing the strike, the ministry
made Its grayest mistake.
