PENSION EXPERIMENT,
Worlds Work.

/
large mercantile company, which
has branches in nine of our critics, has
put into effect an employees old age
pension system which is an iinterestins.
experiment. To this the employees them
selves contribute nothing, but all arc
eligible at SIXTY years of age If thev
have served the company for82o years.
Provision, too, is made fol. those who.
at any age, are incapacitated for work
after twenty years of service The
amount of a pension is based upon ti.e
salary of an employee and the num-
Der of years he has served. The salary
figured on is the average salary during
the five years preceding retirement,
and the pension amounts to l. per cent
of this, multiplied by the number ST
years of service. Thus, a man whose
saaa.y is $1,000 a year, upon retiring
after twenty-five Years. service, will re.
ceive a pension of $500. The smallest.
pension to be paid is 5000, the largest
$1,000; SO that the system strongly.
favo1ss those who have received small,
en- moderate, salaries, and vino. unable
to save as they have gone along, have
looked forward to old age with con-
sternation. 81:

The proposition 10 levy an extra mill
for the Capitol building was over
,shclmingly defeated by the vote in
.rte5 state. This Is not very aurpris-
ing, though the result may be re-
grettable.
Several reasons may be assigned
Tor 1t. There is. undoubtedly awidc-
spread impression outside Salt Lake
that this City is receiving more than
its share of public benefits and this
conviction was reflected Al the vote.
THEFT conservative citizens all over
the state arc not enthusiastically in
favor OF increasing thg taxes for the
purpose Of constructive ornamental
buildings. And somehow the opinion
prevails that the City and County

DIAGNOSING THE MOB.
Augusta Chronicle.

The newspaper or the politician that

lowing an ignis fatuus. The mob Is
here today and there tomorrow. 1t acts
I from impulse. not principle; tomorrow
1t may condemn the thing which its TO-
day applauds. 1t has no reason of it's
own and refuses to be controlled by
reason. This is why men of inferior.
character and mentality gain tenn

we have such a fine system of public

TWO SUSPICIOUS
NEGROES ARRESTED
Mrs. Gordon Living Three Miles South.
east Of Town Frightened BY Two
Unknown Blacks,


Two negroes giving g.
Rufus Johnson. and c. n
and their homes at Parsons. kans..
were arrested today, on a charge of
having badly frightened Mrs. Gordon,
ct her home three miles southeast
Of town.
Mrs. s. w. Bond called the sheriffs
Office this morning and told the depu.
ty IN charge that two negroes had been
seen near the Gordon home. and that
Mrs. Gordon was running from them
This information had been given TO
Mrs. Bond. by Mr.. Blanton, farmer
who was on his way TO town, and had
seen the trouble.
Felix Ridenhour and Deputy Jake
Smith hurried to the scene and were
fortunate in overtaking the negroes as
they were about to cross Cabin creek
a short distance east Of the Gordon
home. Both were placed under arrest
and brought to the jail here, to await
developments Neither had much to
say of the affair They did not deny
having been TO the house. but claim
to have been doing nothing wrong.
Mrs. Gordon told the deputies that
the negroes had come to her home, got
a drink of water. and hung around in
way that frightened her At one
time they went off down the road a
short distance and then came back to
the house and sat on the fence for
time They went % another house
and got a drink Of water, and then
left, going toward tho creek. where
they were later taken in charge by the
officers.

Questl,i.

Tho city council held special ses-
sion last night for the purpose Of con-
sidering the proposed extension Of the

bers of the cuncil and the mayor we're
present and no definite action could
be taken, but il was the unanimous
sense Of those present that the recon-
mendation If the engineers, that a
new wen be drilled to the second flow
OF water, andthnt the reservoir be en-
larged, should be carried out, and the
city attorney was instructed to pre-
pare the necessary legal papers TO put
this plan into operation.
A bond issue will be required to
make the needed extension, probably
not to exceed 10000
The council realized the great dam.
age done to the city this summer by
the lack Of water ard will hasten the
relief. At the next meeting II is very
probable that an election will be call
ed TO vote the bonds for increasing the
city water facilities.
