MIR. KIESEL ON THE CAPITOL.

The Hon. Fred j. Kicsel talks like
| a man and 4 patriot on the State capl-
toll He refuses TO narrow his vision to
mere locality view, but takes in a
comprehensive vista Of the State. He
! broadly says that this is a State ques-
! ton, not city proposition: that the
State needs the capitol, and should
build it, and that there is no sense in
any talk about removing the State
capital to some other place, On this
point he shrewdlv says
Two thirds of the legislatures vote
is required To authorize an election for
amending the constitution. There are
sixty three members in the legislature.
Considerably more than two-thirdS of the
members arc from Salt Lake county and
south OF II. 1t is fair TO assume that
two-thirds OF vote cannot be obtained
to authorize an election for amending or
! changing the constitution for the purpose
OF removing the capital 10 ogden.
On the direct question Of the neces,
sity for the capitol structure, and the
desirability of carrying the present
proposition at the election Of Tuesday
next, Mr.. Kiesel says;
The dignity OF the State OF Utah de-
other States have capitols except Utah,
The legislature meets in tho city and
county building at Salt Lake City. and is
liable to he denied that privilege when
ever the city and county need it for
themselves. AS il is. the rooms assigned
TO the legislature lack every facility,

ton? The capitol VIII have to be built at
some time, Why not now? Can We less
afford to build a capitol than other
States?
At present the State of Utah has no
home for its legislature. nor for its state
officers. At some time We must have
capitol. Why not commence TO have II
now? The State Will have 10 bc taxed
for IL at some time, Why not now? We
can afford it now just as well as later
On the question of ncighhorly amity,
Mr., Kiescl is equally emphatic, his ex-
pressions being terse and forceful, viz:
Salt Lake City assisted MS greatly in
obtaining the Deaf and Blind school.

at the same time when the scat OF gov

decreed to that city when the constitution
was framed Is il just? Is it fair?
Ogden. first. knows she cannot get

That is the right sort Of talk. Mr..
Kicsel does himself credit and the State
honor in making it. His letter should
put a quictus on the ''hot air'' talk
which he so vigorously condemns, and
should be tower Of strength in sup

is manifest that the law contcmplatcs

But where the amount Of money paid
for the publication is more than double
the amount of money which the law
permits TO be collected on account of
this delinquent advertising. it is evi.
dent that the taxpayers who are not
delinquent, and who have no concern

excess goes absolutely as bonus for

WHY NOT ANSWER?

The Deseret News having put SOW
eral questions TO us for answer, and we
having promptly and candidly answered
them, 1t now refuses to answer the re-
turn questions which we asked. 1t says
that we arc misrepresenting the case,
and that when we are prepared to deal
fairly and squareIy with the subject,
and give truthful reply to its
queries. it will be pleased to answer TO
the best of its ability any questions
The Tribune may see fit to PROFOUND,
relevant TO the discussion but not
till then.
That is, the News denies the truth
fnIness Of our answers; in this showing
It's own habitually mendacious, mean
spirited mind. We answered the News S
questions squarely and truly. lis claim
10 the contrary is a gratuitous dis
honor to itself. Its position is that we
must give the sort of answers that will
establish its own false view of the case
1t insists that our answers shall bear
out that false view Of affairs. The I'M
measurable intolerance and bigotry Of
that claim is evident when one re.
members that il can continue indefi
nltely ITS perverse falsity, and pro-
nounce untrue any answer that we might
make which is not in accord with its
preconc eived and perverted view
The truth is the News thought its
questions were posers, when they
were not IN the least so. save only from
It's own perverted standpoint They
were easily answered from the stand
point of fact and truth. The fact that
the answers do not conform TO a bigot s
misconception makes it all the worse
for that mlscouception.
1t is noteworthy also TO the discredt
of the News, that it not only insists
upon the answers TO its questions CON
forming TO its false standard, but the
range Of the questions must be limited
by its choice. It will answer ques-
tions Irrelevant TO the discussion, - it

are arrogance and bigotry, Intolerance
and assumption, in their most offensive
forms. BY what right docs the News
claim such control Of discussions, of
questions, and Of current criticism as
all this!
However, since il has come to such
grief IN its charge upon The Tribune,
we trust that it will not refuse tc an
swer ightforward question of
