FARM COMMISSION
TO CONTINUE WORK
CONGRESS is EXPECTED TO
FRAME LAWS FOR FARMER
Taft Endorses Project of Predecessor
and Rural Researches May Be
Continued Under His Adj
n1inistration

WASHINGTON, March 10.-Like va
rious other commissions appointed by
former President Roosevelt, it is con-
fidently expected the commission on
farm life will continue it's entity under
President Taft, who indorses the vari-
GUS projects undertaken by his prede-
cessor, and especially favors the farm
commissions work.
This commission, which was among
the last to submit it's report and which
report Mr. Roosevelt urged should be
accepted as the basis for needed legis-
lation affecting the farmer, is expected
soon to furnish additional data rela-
tive to it's researches and to conduct
protrac ted investigation of condi-
tions governing farm life, as result
of which several important laws may
be adopted by the extra session of con-
gress.
Commerce Commission
The members of the interstate COM
merce commission, headed by Chair
man Knapp, conferred today with
President Taft and announced that
they were to have another conference,
but they would not discuss the matters
under consideration. 1t is understood
that the president desired to be fully
informed as to the affairs of the COM
mission and devoted much of the time
to these inquiries.
President Taft instructed Attorney
General Wickersham to choose his as
sistants without consideration of polit-
zeal influence or political services rem
dered This policy was decided upon
by the president after a conference
with Secretaries Knox and Wicker
sham.
One cause of friction at the depart
ment of justice which Mr.. Wickersham
will endeavor to smooth over is the
appointment of attorneys by the inter-
state commerce commission.
Under the policy laid down by Presi-
dent Taft it is desired to have the
commission, on the completion of in
vestigations, turn the results over to
the department of justice instead of
having the attorneys try to carry their
own cases to the courts.

make that same law very effective in correction.
And that Is proper. Every knows what is

GEORGE is GETTING CARELESS.

On the front page of Harpers Weekly we find the
statement that the paper within is edited by
George Harvey"
George doesn't need brag about it. If we found In
the Nephi record such sentences litter the edito-
rial pages of Harper's should administer father
ly rebuke. And can pick out thirteen editors of
country papers here in Utah either of whom would
write better STUFF than the famous old Weekly
presents to its readers.
Speaking of the incident OF Minister Cranes dis
mssai. the Weekly says;
There is a general feeling that there is more to
the story than has been disclosed. Mr.. Knox sug-
gested that Mr.. Crane told things TO a newspaper
man that he should not have told.
If there is a high school boy in New York who
would admit the authorship of such English. be-

DON'T BE AFRAID TO BE FAIR.

This is intended to be brief address to that
member of the American party who is not afraid to
be fair. And there plenty of such men.
The other day prominent member Of the Amer
lean party said: What fools these Mormons are
putting bishops counsellor the ticket against
Mulvey!"
Why not bishops counsellor, if he is a good
man." asked another American.
And surely that is fair question. There are
some thousands of perfectly reputable and worthy
citizens of Salt Lake who members of the Nor
mon church. Among their officers is one officer
called the bishop. The bishop has counsellor-or
maybe two. or even three eounsellors. The Herald
Republican is not Mormon paper, and may be un-
informed as to the polity of that church. But the
bishop has counsellor That adviser of the church
official probably selected of his prudence,
his sound sense his worth the value of the counsel
which he is likely to give.
1t doesn't at all argue that he is peril to the
city, menace to the government. 1t doesn't
at all argue that he is to be Disseminated against
in the recognition of civic rights
The Man who Is Not Afraid to Be Fair will con-
eede that the Republican party not afraid to
nominate minister of the Methodist church one
Of its candidates. and a minister of the Congrega-
tional church for another of its candidates There
is no question the nominations made in perfect
good faith and with the hope tat the men chosen
would make the race. No one is afraid of either
MI snort or MI NTOSnen III city CouIiGii' w ny
should any one be afraid of the counsellor of a
bishop?
We people of Utah must some time get away from
the old and intOeTant idea that everything Mormon
is bad The people of England suffered that craze
for many years, and the misery that followed the
harsh spirit of religious persecution never be
measured by Also, the power of the nation
grew the people took on the broader, more wise
and courageous view that the mans character, and
his church. must be the safe measure.
There day when the English people de-
manded a Shylock as their expression of hatred for
the Jew. And there time when they threw
off that harsh view and made a Jew their prime
minister-and never in the history of Great Britain
did the nation advance so splendidly under his
counsel and advice.
Let the Man Who is Not Afraid to Be Fair rise
above the intolerant harshness which the American
party leaders and papers urge upon him A bish-
ops counsellor may be a good If he be bad,
it is because of the man-and because of the
church which he belongs the church Office
which he holds.

cere SOUL But we would like to know where are
those twentyfour miles of asphalt street paving in

sured that the American party has paved seventeen
miles of in the four years Of it's ncumbency;
and that there seven miles of like paving be-

But can't find the twenty-four miles.

The whole city will be properly improved. There will
be stopping in the grand progress which the peo-

But is there any reason in the world why the
American party bosses cannot tell the truth in a

Canyon of the Colorado: and in the of very
able editorial argument says:
A line from Marysvale south would open up more
good country than any other similar project in Utah
This season the fruit crop in the south is simply
wasted because of the lack of railroad facilities
There are great possibilities in fruit grain produce
cattle and sheep in the south, and that country
should be opened up. Pute, Garfield ana Kane coun-
ties are rich, possibly richer, than any other
section of the state, and the MaTysvae branch
should be extended.
Not tenth part of Utah has yet been made to
yield the riches it holds for the people Every day

one of the best moves can imagine toward the
desired end is the building of that railroad and the
entry of builders that splendid region to the
south.
