when the old system is used. on ac-
count OF the varying conditions in the
ground.
Other improvements
Other improvements installed or
being installed at the Utah Independ-
ent company's office include a special
indicator for party lines on the switch
boards, and an ENLARGED information
desk The capacity OF the latter is
being doubled. The purpose OF the
Indicator is to tell the operator at a
glance just what telephones are on a
party line circuit. and thus whether
the patron Is asking for the right num-

Another little device has the effect
OF always keeping the operator in
formed as to what telephone on a
party line she is ringing Thus. if it
becomes necessary for the operator to
ring on a party line the second time
she does not have to ask the patron
what number he was calling.

WHY LOCAL PRICES ARE HIGH.

Many causes have been pointed out
as contributing TO the higher cost OF
living, now almost universal. but
neither the increased gold supply nor
the failure of production to keep up
with the increase OF population, ac-
counts for the fact that the people Of
Salt Lake hive to pay about Sc
more for coal than they pay in Dem
yer: or that butter worth 2b cents few
mlles from salt Lake costs 45 cents
here: or that mutton OF veal shipped
from Utah to California is cheaper
there than when sold here. There Is
something radically wrong somewhere,
when local prices are so much higher
than they ought to be.
The cost OF living In any given com
munity Is very largely influenced by
the management of public affairs, The
people pay. in higher prices on every
article of consumption, for the blum
ders and mistakes and extravagancc
OF the government, Every cent dis
honestly paid out of the city treasury;
every cent wasted on men who are
given jobs for party service. at the cx-
pense Of the taxpayers: every cent
| paid out above the fair price in gift
contracts; every cent spent for pur-
poses OF graft and Jobbery adds. un-
| necessarily, to the cost OF living Such
money the taxpayers pay In addition
to the legitimate expenses. even II they
do not realize 1t at all times
Salt Lake has been run into debt to
; the tune OF about s5.oooo00. That Is
a considerable sum for a city OF this
size. The people are paying for the
use Of that money. It's adminstra-
tlon needs about n million dollars an
nually. for oftice-holders and employees.
That has to be met. Special taxes
must be paid. in addition. We have
II on high authority that the blundcrs
OF one City official alone. during the

Tribune said so-and that other blum
ders were much more expensive, and

FOR INSTRUMENTATION.

The conduct OF Mr.. Pinchot lends sup
port 10 the suppostion that he Is pro-
ceedIng. in the pallinSer controversy,
not entirely from a desire to see truth
vindicated or wrongs righted, but rath-
er for the purpose OF 1iscredting the
administration and causing strife in the
party What other Interpretation can
be given to his defiance of his superior
officers, and his dIsobcdience of conn
sell? Whatever may be the merits Of
the case. or the foundation of the
