TWENTY MILLIONS AGREED ON.

There was n warm contest in the Sen
ate on Wednesday to get priority be
tween three subjects that were urged
upon the attention of that body. The
Appalachian forest reserve won pri-
orltY, and then came the bill authoriz-
ing the issue of Treasury certificates to
the amount of $2O,000,00O for the com
pletlon of reclamation projects now un-
der way. This as passed by the House
carried the suggestion of President Taft
that the work of the reclamation service
should be turned over to the army en-
gineers. Senator Borah however, re.
fused to consent to this, and very Justly
said that this would cause a delay of
year In the prosecution of the work, be
cause it is now the middle of the con"
structlon season. and it would take the
army engineers year to familiarize
themselves with the projects and with
the details of the work so that they
could push 1T to advantage The en-
glneer part of the bill, therefore, is
dropped.
The substitution of $20,00o,000 in
place of the $3O,000,000 needed to com.
plete these projects, and as recommend
ed IN President Taft's message, is an
unfriendly move against the West And
still the amount is acceptable, because
The work can proceed and some Of the
projects can be finished AS we showed
in our summary in these columns, in
our reclamation review yesterday,
number of the projects are we'll along
towards completion. These can be FIN.
lshed with the $20,0O000o and others
can be speeded along. 1T is TO be hoped,
also, that the next session of the present
Congress may authorize the issue of
another $lG,000,000, so that all of the
projects can be completed with as much
speed as is compatible with safe and
good work. The obtaining of this issue
OF Treasury certificates is. on the whole
a decided triumph for the West, and
for the irrigation campaign.

RETIRING JUSTICE MOODY.

The bill specifically providing for the
retirement of Justice William II. Moody
from the Supreme Court of the United
States, has become law. Mr. Moody
has been III fer a long time. with no
parent prospect Of recovery he has
not been long enough on the bench TO
allow of bis retirement Ill the regular
way and with the usual pay, Tic IS not
inanciaii able to retire without that
pay, and so this bill comes to MS relief,
and it is expected that he will resign
Immediately, thus giving the opportun-
it's for f'll bench to hear the i'm
portant questions that are now before it.
1t is practically an official request
from the court that there be full
bench to hear the important caseg that
have been argued and a decision of
which was expected when Justice Brew
er suddenly died. His death appar-
emily unsettled the whole question, the
probability being that it left the court
evenly divided on the tobacco case and
a number of the great questions, includ
ing the validity of the corporation tax
before the court.
President Taft has already appointed
two Justices of this eourt, II. II. Lurton
of Tennessee and Governor C.. +. Hughes
of New York. The first replaced JUS
tice Peckha of New York, who died
and the second replaced Justice Brewer
(deceased) Of Kansas. The probability
is argued on sectional lines that Mr
Moody will be replaced by New Eng
land man. President Taft will there
fore have within the present year ap,
pointed three Justices af the Supreme
Court-one.third of the whole bench
The probability is that he will have 9th
er appointments also to make during his
present term of office, perhaps even to
the extent of appointing the majority OF
the court. Chief Justice Fuller is al
most eighty years old having been born
in 1893, justice Harlan was born in
the same year. If these two should re-
tire within President Taft IS present
term, as il is very likely that they may
do, President Taft will then have ap-
pointed five out of the nine Justices-a
majority Of the whole court-somerhing

BOOTHS DISAPPOINTMENT.

The reappointment of Hiram F.. Booth
TO another term as United States Dis
trict Attorney for Utah was an eX-
pected afflictron. He has made a con-
spicuous failure of the important cases
he had to handle, but chiefly, as we be-
lieve, because he was determined not
to succeed. In the coal cases, he had
before his appointment advised chents
that it was lawful TO make the entries
which after his appointment as United
States Attorney ne was called upon to
prosecute as fraudulent. 1t caused no
surprise to those convcrsant with the
facts. that this prosecution failed. he
pretended to prosecute Frank Z. Han
son for criminally tampering with the
postoffice at Fillmore, but presented the
case in such an impossible way as to
call forth n rebulsc from the court. And
in all his service he has been con-
spleuously an example of an official that
ought never to have been made an
official.
And yet. he is rcappointed, IN spite of
his record, and apparently in vindica-
ton Of the proposition that the So
called coal~land fraud prosecutions were
never meant seriously. Nobody here Of
any discernment ever supposed that
these prosecutions were made in good
faith Under the circumstances, any
serious desire to convict could never
have been entertained. A lawyer as an
official must be supposed to have
acuteness enough to protect those who
had relied on his counsel as an attorney,
before be became an official; supposi
tion that the result amply indicated.
All of which shows that those who
would win and keep the prizes which
are in the gift of corrupt, unscru-
pulous and vicious Federal ring, must
prove themselves TO be crooked in the
fright way.

TAFT PROGRAMME PREVAILS.

President Taft appears to have got
his lariat into good working order
right on the heels of tho session Of
Congress He has roped members by
punches into the White House corral,
and compelled them to see the error
of their ways in their previous neglect
Of what is known as the administration
programme The railroad bill was
hustled through with a rush. The
Statehood bills for Arizona and New
Mexico which had for months reposed
in the pigeon holes of the Senate Com
mittee on Territories, were shaken out'
put upon immediate passage, and the
House was warned to concur without
delay, and 1t did so.
The much -heraldcd conservation
measures simmered down TO the one
proposition that the President should
be allowed to withdraw from entry the
public lands that embraced water
power sites: this has been given
fierce shaking up, and is likely to be
passed in some form, irregular OF oth-
erwise. 1t will at once be taken to
the courts. with the probability OF lts
being annulled as unconstitutional.
But the authorization of S2O,OOO,ooo
Treasury certificates to complete recia
nation projects that are begun, VIII OF
course be valid,
The postal savings bank bull passed
with a rush, the Senate, much against
IT'S will. being coerced into acceptance
of the House draft.
II is indeed surprising that after
Congress had remained in session since
last December without doing anything
with the administration programme II
should take hold of it with. suck vlgor
in the last few days of the session
and push the measures through with
such celerity and in such doubtful
form. But it shows anew the influence
of the "piccounter, and the reluc'
tance of Senators and Representatives,
to turn thelr back on 1T; for the favor
of getting appointments for constitu-
ents and sspirants the members OF
Congress will do things utterly DIS
tasteful TO them, and will cringe under
the administration lash in way that
is gratifying to the bosses of the party,
But which appears to the impartial on
lockers as a sheer betrayal of the SEN
timents of the members themselves,
and. in many cases, of the interests
of their constituents. 1t is abundant
" plain that the members of Congress
did not intend to pass any of the ad-
measures, and they only
pass them under the allurements of the
influence of the power of patronage.

AN OLD STORY.

Mr.. Casio g retraction at Preston the
other day only adds weight to volumi.
nous evidence already adduced, that
there is a variety of slavery here in
Utah that has no parallel in this coun-
try. From the inception Of the Nor
mon system of religion until the pres
ent time, the dcvout have bent the
knee to priestly grafters, believing that,
in so doing, they were obeying the will
Of the Lord.
The Oneida ditch scandal is blot on
the fair state Of Idaho, and this is too
further proof. But the men who did the
grating, who, through a number Of
years. boldly and mercilessly plundcrcd
their brethren in the name of God. are
still held up by the News and the au-
thorities as mon fit to lead God g chosen
people. 1t is enough to make an Amer

SPOKANE GETS DECISION.

The city of Spokane is rejoicing in
the decision of the Interstate Commerce
| Commission of its rate case, which has
been pending now for several years. The
case is said to be determined, and only
waiting to be put into type and printed
to he given out. Within week or so
1T IS expected that this will be accom-
plished. and the full text to the decision
known to the public.
In the meantime, the Spokesman Re
view of that city says that cit is un'
derstood that rates on many articles
from the East to Spokane and It's trlbu
tary territories, will be reduced by or
der of the Commission. 1t gives ont
the expectation that "the decision will
be a victory for the shippers, and 1t
adds: "Their success ls probably due
IN part to the fact that the incorpora'
tion of fair long and short haul clause
in the railroad bill has had an important
effect 1t would seem rather sudden
to have Il Unsurpassed railroad bill cut
much of figure IN the Spokane case,
Still. it NAV be so. and if IL did, the
effect was bound TO be as stated by the
Spokane paper.
And now what of the Salt Lake casef
1t is not the same as the Spokane case.
to be sure, but good deal better and
stronger for Salt Lake than the Spo-
kane case was for Spokane. We have
q right to expect, therefore, that If the
Spokane case was decided favorably TO
the shippers of that place, the Salt Lake
case will inevitably be decided favor
ably TO the shippers here. 1t is lntl'
mated that the Interstate Commerce
Commission has come TO decision on
the Salt Lake case, and that this de-
cision may be expected before long. In
fact. ApoStle-Senator Smoot wires 10
Babcock that he expects
to bring tho decision home with him
uext week, after Congress adiourns If
so, we may expect the main points of
that decision from Washington by wire
almost any day now And in the lively
hope and confident expectation that that
,asc will be decided the Salt Lake way,
we wait with much interest the spark
from the wire that will apprise us of
his decision
