ton as heretofore.
Now everyone understands that the
taxpayers are. as q rule, extremely
chary of imposingg additional burdens
upon themselves Very commonly.
great excitement and bitterness attach
to propositions for increasing the taxes,
And vet here were three square propo-
sitions submitted to tho people OF
Utah for increasing taxes In Two OF
these the tax increase involved the IN
curing of higher indebtedness than the
constitution, as it has been, permitted.
And yet the taxpayers appear to
have taken so little interest as to
amount TO clear Indifference.
1t appears, therefore, that the people
of this State take so little concern on
matters of this kind that they are
willing to allow these propositions TO
go by default, 1t is surely not en-
couraging for those who argue in favor
of the referendum

FAILURE OF REFERENDUM.

Those who favor the referendum are
not likely to be encouraged by the
recent vote in this State on FIVE pro-
posals to amend the constitution. The
total vote cast in the State at the
election was 102,233 for Representative
in Congress, and l0l,ss7 for Justice
of the Supreme Court. But the highest
vote cast on any constitutional amend
men+ was oil that TO continue the high
tax rate, which received only 1861
votes; but little more than one fourth
Of the total vote cast at the election,
and the vote of some 10000 persons
carried the ratitication-one-6 fifth the
voters,
The second proposition. that in
cooperating high schools in the State
school system, had a vote of only
23,2l0. considerably less than one
fourth of the total vote, and 1910
votes carried it,,

the school revenue TO high schools, re.

1878 electors ratifying
Proposition No. 4, raising the State Is

about one-sixth OF the total vote, and

SOME GRAFTERS OUSTED,

Now that the election is over, the
county graft charged before election
by The Tribune is admitted. Two of
the grafters have been thrown out of
ofhce, and the talk is that they will
be held to account crIminally
But the chief grafters remain. They
are grafters indeed, grafters on large
scale. They are an exclusive sort of
grafters, TOO, because they do not pur-
pose to have any other grafters oper,
ating In their field
The taxpayers cannot be protected
from grafters by grafters, The people
elected the grafters' ticket Mt the re-
cent election and if grating goes on
they have nobody but themselves to
blame, The candidates before the
church Republican county convention
who were conspicuously turned down,
were the very ones who conspicuously
opposed grating Tho grafters had it
all their own way in that. convention.
and sustained each other in throwing
out everybody who objected to their
graft. And the voters sustained them
IN the election.
Before election, The Tribune printed
plentiful evidence Of this graft. which
was hercely denied and denounced as
false and slanderous. Now. however,
1T is confessed to be true, and the big
grafters who have "got' the little
ones arc paradinp in robes of virtue

DISASTROUS CHURCH RULE.

1t was on October 90 1904, that the
Deseret News said it; and it was edi-
torially that 1T made the complaint.
That particular period was in the midst
of the church Morris administration in
Salt Lake. In part, the complaint of
the News was as follows:
There is evident need OF another raid
upon hood,imsm In this city. The com
plant comes from several quarters that

First. there were the uninhabited
homes. y The Tribune has frequently
called attention to the fact that pre-
vious to the advent of American sway
in this city, families were moving ont
of town by the score. That condition
was brought about by the fact that
progressives did not desire to remain

The "Goteborg System" works like
a charm. Before It was adopted Nor
way consumed more alcohol per in.
hsbltant than any other country in
Europe. but. owing to the "ooteborg
System" 1t Is now one OF the most
temperate Of all lands. In other words,
only fourth Of the quartlty of ardent
spirits is consumed In Norway per
inhabitant as compared with the con-
sumption before the system went into
operation. The saving to the people
in dollars reaches into the millions,

She has to learn marketing properly.
The mother takes the girl with her
for some time on her buying expedi-

where she goes a little wrong.
She learns inspection Of goods. so
that she can discriminate between

how to buy and what to buy. Market
tables she studies 80 as to find out

Then she Is ready to meet any over

She learns food values. knows what
foods give energy and vitality and
which form flesh and build up the
body. She learns when to buy in
quantity and also when not to buy IN

deteriorating through keeping.
She learns the enormous difference

A ParrrsvsIIed AIIIna,er.

A female alligator four and a half
feet long. species Alligator mississippi
ensis, was recently captured in cen
tral Oklahoma, in a bayou of the
South Canadian River. Mr.. H. H.
Lane Of the University Of Oklahoma
believes that the animal had travelled
up the Arkansas River to the mouth
OF the Canadian. and thence to the
point where 1t was found, a distance
of some $50 or 400 miles west OF the
Arkansas Oklahoma state line. The
Canadian River is not navlgable. and
during most of the year Is only a small
meandering creek in a wide valley.
The alligator had been in the neigh
borhood at least three years before its
capture. Its skeleton Is now in the
university museum. where the lone
traveller Is also commemorated by a
ike-like model.
