UTAH AGAINST COMMISSION.

The following resolution was passed
by the Utah Press association, at Ire
monitor, Utah, September 10. 1910.
Be it resolved by the Utah Press as
ISOLATION:
That whereas, the prosperity OF the
state means the prosperity Of the rail-
roads serving the state and, whereas,
this association feels and believes that
the managing officers of Utah railroads
have conducted their business and out
lined their policy in recognition OF
that principle, and
Whereas, what Utah needs is further
railroad development in order that she
herself may expand and develop, and
Whereas, this association desires to
endorse the policy Of the present rail-
road management and to encourage ra-
Their THAI to retard railroad building
What we want is more railroads in
Utah. Now therefore. be 1t
Resolved, that we, the Utah Press
association. are opposed to the crea'
ton OF a railroad commission for this
state, regarding 1t not only as wholly
unnecessary from a business point of
view but also dangerous because of the
probability that It will become a polit
lcal machine capable of great and I'M
reasonable oppression in the hands OF
designing or INSCRIPTIONS politicians,
and be Il further resolved. that the
nearness together of the sessions OF
the legislature. whereby such changes
notifications or engagements of ex'
listing statutes as may be necessary car
be had with the Intervention OF dele
gated authority. together with the
great number of commissions which
the state already has, make such crea'
tlon not only uncalled for but possibly
oppressive, and we regard 1t as tho
part OF wisdom and justice to unite II
opposition thereto. which we hereby
agree mutually to do.

THE GREAT BUNKER HILL.

The great Bunker Hill & Sullivan
mine at Wardner continues with its
record as the premier silver-lead pro,
ducing mine in the world. Once each
month this is called forcibly to the
minds Of the residents Of the Occur
d'Alenes when It's regular monthly
dividend OF $9S. 100 is declared. With
the payment OF the dividend this month
the company will have paid its stock
holders the huge sum of $12,12s, 900 in
dividends.
The greatest mine Of the great Occur
d'Alenes Is said to be at present in the
best physical condition in its history
Ore bodies have been blocked out that
assures the permanency of the mine
for at least % years. In the meantime
other ore bodies will be opened up and
the wonderful mine will continue pro-
ducing for many more years.-Wallace

WILL NOT SUPPORT BADLEY.

w. H. Taylor, Democratic nominee
for state senator from Boise county,
spent the past two or three weeks at
his ranch near Payette, but will re-
turn to his home in Long Valley Mon
day and begin his campaign for cleo
ton.
Although admitting that Boise coun-
ty is close county politically, Mr..
Taylor expresses confidence in his
elect on together with a majority Of
the Democratic ticket, both county
and state.
at looks to me like the Democrats
would sweep the state" declared Mr..
Taylor today. Il never saw in my life
so many Republicans who make pub
lie declaration of their determination
to vote for Mr.. Hawley for governor
and to refuse to vote the Republican
ticket. In fact, party lines have be-
come entirely obliterated, so far as
the Republicans are concerned and the
members of that party are going to
vote for a change in the administra-
ton of affairs.
"They not only intend to vote for
Mr.. Hawley, but they intend to vote
the entire Democratic ticket except as
to Mr.. Bailey for secretary of state
| find that many of them will not sup
port him.
"Mr, Bailey may be elected, but if
so, I'll declare don't know where his
votes are coming from when most of
the Republicans are going to vote the
Democratic ticket and all of the Dem
ocrats also. There is no disaffect;on
among the Democrats at all, except
now and then some man has a per
sonal grievance against a candidate,
but this is no more than is always the
case" Capital News.

JOHNSON MAKES RECORD.

When Walter Johnson, the star
pitcher of the local team, famed 10
of the White Sox players in Chicago
recently he established worlds
strike out record for a season.
Johnson's total after the recent
game was 3e7 for tho year. The
former record was SOL, made by
"Rube" Waddsll in 1903. This Is
not the only pitching record Johnson
has established. He holds one other
which, perhaps will never be equaled
in a major league-that of shutting
team out without a run three con-
secutive games. This johnson &C
complished in the fall of 1908 In
New York, when he pitched three
consecutive days against the High
landers and did not allow them q
run. The feat was a most remark
able one and will probably stand uu,
equaled for long time to come
Johnson has been a sensation ever
sixce he broke into the American
league, but there are reasons for be.
lleving that he Is just now rounding
into his very best form. He has
pitched much better ball this season
than ever before, and his worl
seems to be improving. He should
be the sensation of next season IL HI
continues to improve. ..n

Jerome School District Valuation.

The assessed valuation of School

It was nothing. When the assessment

Il recognize that section No. of the

This is a vast field for the exercise of

benefit of his fellow citizens and man

that he will carry out his scheme

kind. 1t is in the interest of the ma
tion that he be given free hand in
the exercise of his colossal benefi-
cence. So long as he is active or his
influence remains it would be wise
and safe to give the foundation the
sort of organization he desires. Meth
er now nor hereafter does it seem nee
essary to limit the scope Of his benefi-
cence, which is coextensive with the
efforts of mankind to attain a higher
civilization.
'The only change would desire to
see in the proposed bill is the total or
partial elimination of the method Of
selecting trustees by cooperation. The
organization might well be left a close
corporation. IL Mr.. Rockefeller SO de-
sires, for a generation. But after that
time am confident that 1t would inure
both to the efficiency of the foundation
and to the public welfare-to say moth
ing of the satisfaction Of the sentiment
of a democracy-if the majority of. the
trustees were appointed by the spresi-
dent of the United States, with the
advice and consent of the senate, or
selected by some other high abiding,

be regarded as representing the peo-
pie Of the United States, whose well
