ciphered by the Rev, j. Smith from the

his naval history, and 81 collection Of
Scottish poetry formed by Sir Richard

some old printed books. there is a col

Messrs. Taylor and Smurthwaite were

fact, they had dealings with Europe,
Africa. Australia. New Zealand, and the
islands Of the sea: and everywhere they

loads of any one article, such as
radishes, lettuce csbbages. onions,
asparagus or anything Of the kind.
Such farmers would, in fact be them
selves wholesale dealers, and would nat.
uralIy wish te sell their load out in one
transaction. Their case would not fit
the matter as we have in mind and
as we have explained heretofore.
The desirability Of farmers establish.
ing themselves in convenient places
| throughout the city, making in them a
sort of free market on such frontage
as is unoccupiod, and where no one
wonld be disconnected. is the best sub
stltute that we can think of at pres.
ent for free public market. and that
is what We advocate We hold to the
same principle throughout, and our ad.
vocacy has been primarily and chiefly
In the interest of the consumer who
lives in the city. tho one who finds it

small wages or salaries. These are the
ones who need relief: but they do not

monopoly themselves.
The whole matter must be adjusted
on the lines Of the best interest of the
people of Salt Lake. If the farmers
are willing 10 take a hand in breaking
down the high price monopoly here,
well and good; they should be given
fair opportunity TO cooperate in that
direction. But if it is their purpose to
take advantage of the situation and
place themselves IN front Of places of

for their direct dealing with the con.

put upon them in this matter they must
understand arc caused by their own
failure to cooperate in the interest of
the public.
We hold fast to the idea that the
farmers, if encouraged to establish a
number of free retail markets in diff
ferent parts of tho city, bringing in
diversified loads so they could sell
different products direct to the con
sumer, could serve great public pur-
pose, ard derive advantage themselves
in so doing, by establishing a sort Of
limited free market that we suggest,
meeting the consumers direct and sell
ing at fair prices. There would be no
element of monopoly or unfairness in
this. But for the farmers themselves
to put prices away above the range
even of the wholesalers and commits
sion men, so that it is profitable to i'm
port vegetables as we'll as fruits from
California, then they themselves are
destroying the very opportunity which
they have pretended to seek. We are
convinced that on proper lines the OBJ
Ject aimed at can be obtained. But if
the farmers themselves refuse to CO.
operate, then the opportunity must be
lost.

FOR THE PUBLIC SAFETY.

The killing of Mrs. Pauline o. Han
sen In the southeastern part of the city
on Tuesday night directs attention
again to the fruitIess attempt of the
State through its legislative enactment
of last winter to regulate automobiles
as to speed, the qualifications of
chauffeurs, the control of vehicles, and
everything connected with the travers
ing of the streets and roads by auto
mobiles The apparent purpose Of the
State was TO get the automobile tax,
and to shut out the cities from any
power of taxing, regulating, furnishing,
or fixing qualifications, rates of speed,
and tho like. When the State acts,
the city municipalities being subordi-
nate, would presumably be sIlenced.
1t is, however, apparent that State
regulation has failed. The city is not
protected, although the State law, it
properly enforced, would protect it,
The laxity of the county officials,
whose duty 1T is to enforce this State
law, is nquestionably responsible for
the deaths and severe accidents that
have occurred in this city The mu-
nicipal authorities have considered
themselves bound by the State enact
ment. But now that the State enact
ment is found TO be futile, save only
for the purpose of collecting the auto
mobile tax, it becomes necessary for
the city to act, There will still re.
main the question whether the city
would have the power to act in this
matter, the State having passed com
prehensive law covering this whole mat
ter. Still, our idea is that the city
should pass an ordinance and at least
see il something cannot be done to stop
these accidents, the violations of ordi
nary safety in running automobiles at
dangerous speed in the city, and to
provide in this matter such safeguards
as the people ought to have.
If we had had an ordinance pre-
viously, undoubtedly the State law
would have superseded that ordinance.
The question remains, then, whether an
ordinance can now be passed by the
city that would give the city iurisdic
tion when the superior legislation is al
ready in effect. As it is now, any com
plant has to 90 before the County At
torney and perhaps it would still have
TO 90 TO him even if the regulating
ordinance were passed, and The hearing
would be in the District Court. Still,
it should be passed and the power of
the city to act either under the State
law or the municipal ordinance should
be tested. The danger is evident and
constant. Everything possible that
can be done to protect the lives and
safety Of the people must be done by
every power that can be brought to
bear. The city should allow no pre-
sumption Of superior State authority to
Interfere with its efforts to safeguard
the security and the lives OF the peo-
pie. If any conflict of jurisdiction
should result, that would be matter
to be thrashed out in the courts; but
in the meantime the city should by all
means act, and do everything within
| its power in this direction, since the
