he bases his statement that it is salts

given him by the attorney general. his
legal adviser. So II may confidently
be expected that the statutes Of Utah
which forbid combinations to control
the price or limit the production OF
any product OF the soil viii be set in
motion.
The satisfactory feature OF all this
70 the people is that the laws OF Utah
win have a test while the legislature
OF the state is in session. II it should
prove that the law is ineffective and
that Il is impossible to obtain con-
victions under it. the matter can be
taken up at once by the legislature
and an effective law enacted.
There can be no end to the present
contest until the people come into
their own. Fuel IS at a price that is
almost prohibitive. IL robs the people
OF their earnings for even the little
coal the most humble family may use.
huN IL keeps Aue state from developing
along manufacturing lines. It prevents
Utah from having a market here at
home for her raw material It keeps
from tho state the thousands OF home
seekers that would come TO Utah with
the establishing OF factories and work
shops. It is driving people from the
state. It must come 20 an end.
The iusolence and impertinence OF
the coal trust is almost beyond belief

An official who follows the line Of
least resistance might have taken the
view that the evidences" presented was
not satisfactory and refused TO act FOR
that reason.
Mr. Tingey. however, shares the
view Of the matter that IS held by
everybody in Utah outside the abet-
tors and benefciaries Of the trust.
There ought to be some way OF get

there viii be no need for action on the
part OF the attorney general.
AS the constitution OF the state
makes the attorney general the legal
adviser OF the state officers. it is a
reasonable superstition that the secrc-
