A DOUBLE OFFENDER.

Again as 10 the case Of Elder Heber

stated, he married polygamously Miss

But his first offense, provided Tho Trib-

WASTE WATER CHANNELS.

The question Of dealing with the sur
plus water of the Jordan is one that
has always caused good deal of
trouble and difficulty. Evidently the
propositions for dredging at so much
per yard were monstrously excessive,
and the Council has done the right
thing, as we Judge, in undertaking to do
the work itself, buying a dredge, with
the view of laying out a plan for the
enlargement of the waste water ditch
and deepening the channel of Jordan,
which Will enable those outlets to carry
all the surplus water.
The matter Of dredging is one that
Will require constant work Channels
fill up by the deposit of silt, and the

FOR BUREAU OF MINES.

The plea for the establishment Of a
Bureau of Mines so long asked for by
tho miners Of this western region, and
so earnestly declared for by tho Ameri.
can Mining Congress, is strongly rein.
forced by the large number of recent
appalling coal mine disasters. IL ap-
pears that the State legislation is too
lax, and that nothing but uniform
Federal supervision and regulation, ON
the best possible scientific lines, will be
sufficient TO prevent the recurrence Of
such dreadful caIamities.
The bill for the establishment of a
Mining Bureau is being urged in the
present Congress with great force Sec.
retary j. F. Callbreath Of the American
Mining Congress is in Washington, de-
voting his time to assuring members of
Congress of the necessity of the estab
lishmcnt of such n Bureau The coal
mine disasters referred to strongly rein
force his position, II appears that the
Geological Survey. which in n WAY has
a sort of n reporting oversight Of the
mining industries Of the United States
and that sums up the product Of the
mines year by year, has been devoting
some attention to the matter of pre-
venting coal mine disasters and of res
cue work after the disasters have oc-
CURED, Experts from the Geological
Survey arc reported as doing good work
in the Kentucky disaster and in the ex-
ploration of the wrecked mines at Cher
ry Creek, Illinois.
The facts showing the need of n gen
eral uniform supervision must tell very
strongly in favor Of tho effort for the
tablishment of a Bureau of Mines The
desirabiity of having such a Bureau
and having the efficient oversight, that
such Bureau could supply, is made the
more evident by these disasters
But. aside from all that. the estab.
lishment of such a Bureau has been
urged for many years in this western
by reason Of the Importance of
the interests involved and the desirable
ity of having correct reports, uniform
regulations, and an intelligent super.
vision over this wide-reaching. and mag
nificent industry. The mining product
Of the United States reaches two bill
lion dollars annually. An interest of
that magnitude certainly deserves rep
resentation in tho Federal Government
These interests, in fact, are so import
ant, so wide-reaching, and so ncedful
Of a uniform regulation and supervision,
that Cabinet position would he none
too exalted TO deal with it, and these
great interests consent to the establish
mcnt Of Bureau of Mines at this time,
in the hope that a Cabinet office will
grow out Of it, as Cabinet officers have
from time to time grown out Of Bureaus
n the history of our Government.

National platform had declaration in
favor Of this proposition. But the Ma
tional Republican platform had a decla.
ration in favor of just revision of the
tariff which President Taft proclaimed in
his campaign speeches to be revision
downward. Congress. however, made Il
revision which is in fact revision up
ward, and still claims TO have fulfilled
the party pledge. II may be very
delicate ethical question 10 decide
whether a revision of the tariff contrary
TO that which was promised is any more
of q party dcrcliction than il would be
for the party to fail TO act at all on the
postal savings propositions: that is,
whether il is a greater offcnse to do
contrary to what is promised, than not

WELL DONE ON SALTAIR.

Tho Council did well on Monday even.
ing in postponing action on the Saltair
franchise and grab. That the demand
of the Saltair management is clearly
adverse 10 tho interests of the public
and an intrusion on vested rights al
ready enjoyed by tho street railway com
pany. And inasmuch as the Saltair
concern proposes Immediately on OBJ
tanning this franchise, to issue $500 900
TO 100000 in bonds on the strength of
it. giving no equivalent TO the public
by way of taxes or returns on gross
earnings, il seems an enormous piece of
cheek to make such n request.
The pretense of fight made by the
church interests against this franchise
away. We see nothing more against
the proposition in the church organ.
This is doubtles because Joseph f.
smith wishes to favor his son-in- Law,
who Is the chief in the Saltar control.
And, of course, with President Smith
favoring the granting of this franchise,
there could nothing vigorously oppos.
ing appear against it in the church or
gan. Last night editorially, il snubbed
the American ladies who oppose the
Saltair grab. and insultingly invited
them to turn their attention 10 other
matters, falsely alleging American com.
plicity in evil conditions.
There is no public demand for this
grab desired by the Saltair company.
II is only a greedy desire on the part OF
that concern TO intrude upon The public
streets, enjoy the property of another.
and To obtain better facilities for
the people of this city 10 the
advantage of Saltalr. And. If, as re-
ported, the purpose of the Saltair con
,crn is TO charge a hve-cent fare 10 get
Ia the denot in addition TO the twenty |
i've cents 10 get to Saltair. 1T is easy
% see why the Saltair people should be
80 anxious TO get this franchise for
fifty years, a term which is altogether
oevond reason in this day of progress
md of the city growth.

RAYNER ON POSTAL SAVINGS.

Senator Rayner of Maryland, good
constitutional lawyer, finds no warrant
in the national constitution for the es-
tablishment of postal savings banks. He
does not consider that the general well
fare clause covers the case, nor that
the authority conferred to establish
postofices and post roads fits the propo-
sition. He does not think that there is
anything in the constitution, which by
necessary implication bestows any such
authority, His view may be sound, but
it will attract no particular attention
because nobody seems to think any
more that there is any restriction in
the constitution upon Congress doing
whatever it may choose. Once in a
while the United States Supreme Court
puts in a bar on Congressional action,
but the Supreme Court is very slow to
reach decisions. and a great deal may
be done pending the action of that
court.
Senator Rayner is quite right, how
ever, when he insists that Congress
would have Just as much right TO go
into any other form Of banking business
as in the savings part of it. Undoubt~
edly the power to issue currency for
the people is form of banking that
Congress might exercise, but which the
high oracles of financiering have uni
formly deplored as putting all forms of
business at the mercy Of the mere politi-
cal whims or time servers. And vet,
the power is there, and If that power
should engage in this other form of
banking and its authority to do so is
there would not be very much in the
way of banking that the Government
might not lawfully do
We judge, however, that it will be
found practical impossibiIity to es.
tablish any form Of postal savings
banks that will be at all satisfactory to
the public. Tho restrictions being put
upon the handling Of deposits, the de-
lay In interest payments, and the tre-
mendous Office force necessary TO handle
this enormous business, are all likely to
combine TO break the law down from
its own weight. 1t was admitted in the
discussion of this bill in the former
Congress, that it will be impossible to
pay interest quarterly; then it was con.
fessed that il would be impracticablc
to pay interest emiannually, and the
proposition TO pay interest annually
seemed rather gloomy one to those
who were most hopeful of the benefits
of the postal savings system.
Senator Carter, who is in charge of
the bill, does not iri any way meet the
arguments of those who are opposed to
it. He simply rests on the party propo~
sition that the President urges the pas
sage Of the bill in behalf of the Repub-
lican party. and that the Republican
