DIRECT ELECTION or SENATOR'S

One of the questions to come before
Frankfurt, Ky. relates to the direct
election of United States senators. That
is II question of considerable interest.
1t has been widely discussed. and In
many states the demand for a Constitu-
tlonul amendment on the subject is de-
manded by n majority of voters.
AS an indication of how widespread
is the desire for the proposed change III
the Constitution. 1t can be stated that
twenty-ninc legislatures have passed
resolutions and applications to Congress
regarding the matter. The remaining
pressed their sympathy with the move
ment, either by directly nominating sem
ators under the law, by directly advis-
ing their legislatures by Il plank in the
platform of either the Republican or
Democratic party for the year 1910 or
by nominating by party submission.
The only two states that have not ex-
pressed themselves in any way are
Delaware and West Virginia.
Tie arguments in favor of direct cleo
lion are many. 1t is believed that
senators elected in the same manner as
the representatives in tile House would
feel their responsibility to the people
and be less influenced by wealth. It is
also thought that direct election would
improve the morals of legislatures by
removing temptations from the path OF
weak members.
President TAFT favors the movement,
In his speech of acceptance he said
with respect to the election of Sem
ntors by the people personally / am in
clined to favor it, but 1t Is hardly par
ty question. a resolution in It's favor
has passed n Republican House Of Rep-
roscntatlvcs several times, and has been
rejected by a Republican Senate by the
| votes OF senators from both parties. 1t
has been approved by the legislatures
| OF many Republican states. In Il num-
| her OF states both Democratic and Re.
| publican, substantially such system
noW prevails
Whatever action the governors may
take upon this question. will be of inter-
est throughout the Country.

AGRICULTURAL HIGH SCHOOLS.

The establishment of agricultural
high schools upon the plan of those
in Iowa and Minnesota, is actively
urged By certain partsans of vocal
tonaI education.
But first we need good. general high
schools; after that Is a realized fact,
wc should add to these high schools
those vocational features for which
the various partlsans are contending.
IL may be that agricultural, then in
dustrial, next commercially and finally
art or professional high schools may
be demanded by those who desire to
see school work more specialized; but.
high school will, with a greater variety
of courses, suffice for all purposes. and
will provide all the vocational train
ing that young people should have
while learning those general matters
which underlle all vocations.
On this broad proposition wc think
we agree with President II. NJ. Bcll
of Iowa. who maintaining that we'll
equipped. improved. and to some cX-
tent, modified high schools in every
community brondcned and made ready
for the work OF the vocational school
are the ultimate solution OF voca-
;tional training for youth, Hence the
state should make 1t possible for every
high school to offer elective technical
courses that ut the student for some
vocation-p presumably that vocation in
which the larger portion of his own
community is engaged and this can be
done by giving special aid to these
high schools.
In our cities it should be possible
for the boy in high school to prepare
for any one of II number of vocatons:
and in no town high school should 1t
be impossible for the youth to secure
instruction adequate TO fit him for ono
or more vocations, This is being ne
complished in some states by subsldlz-
Ing the high schools No better plan
has ms yet been, as far as we know,
proposed by any one.
Now the particular kind Of I'M
provement" Of high schools to which
VIC nllude here Is not intended so much
as II criticism of present methods as
nil extension of the good work al-
ready begun in many of them-tho
application OF science and art to GER
/ tain useful, that is to say. vocational
ends.
We are convinced that most of the
high schools have too little of what Is
known as the application" Of knowl-
edge to present-day problems and the
work of the world today 1t IS be.

ON TIE coz. SITUATION.

INC statement presented by the
Commercial Club Traffic bureau to the
Secretary of State, on the coal situa-
ton in Utah shows how difficult It is.
not to say impossible 10 produce
binding and conclusive evidence of
violation of antitrust laws The
Burcnu gives the figures ut which coal
ought to be sold here, ut a profit; 1t
gives information rs to the gradual
rise in prices UP to the present high
water mark II presents data concerii-
Ing tn. revenue derived by the rail-
roads for transportation of coal: but
when it come; to the very crux OF the
matter the bureau Is forced to confess
to lack of definite information. The
statement says:
las to whether or not the combina-
ton by which the price Of coal to the
consumer--the public Is unlawfully
augmented and fixed, liz by an ex-
press agreement or understanding be-
tween the coal producers, the carriers
and tho distributors. or whether 1t Is
brought about subtly and indirectly
by the power of the railroad compan-
les over the operation of the coal
mines not owned by the railroad conf
panies. by withholding cars and ade-
quate service. or otherwise; and in the
case of local distributors, by the
warning of the consequences that be-
fell d. J. Sharp several years ago when
he assumed to sell coal ut Salt Lake City
below the prices fixed by the combine,
this bureau Is unable to furnish any
data but the accomplishment of that
result necessarily does involve in some
manner the combined cooperation of
the coal producing companies Unclud-
Ing those not owned by the railroad
companies) and of the railroad COM
panies transporting the coal. and of
the local dealers or distributors
The inability to furnish data on the
Very point at issue does not prove that
there is no unlawful combination
somewhere, but it shows how difficult
it is to discover just where the blame
lies.
Nobody doubts that various COM
binations. or agreements, exist for the
keeping up of prices on food and other
necessaries of life, as we'll as coal The
evidence presented in the coal invcsti-
CATION might be given with consider
able force as covering other commodi-
ties. But 50 1uG IL NV bSH'i p'''1I
sible to break IN any of the trusts
that everybody believes exist.
AS we have said before. at differ
ent times, Utah ought to have cheap
or coal. We ought to have fuel at
prices that would tempt manufacture
ers to establish plants hcre anu rive
employment to thousands. We ought
to have cheaper food too. The policy
of squeezing the consumers TO the last
cent Is foolisl, III the extreme, because
1t drives people away instead Of at
tracing them. If the agitation now
on should result in! tho breaking mp of
all kinds of illegal local trusts ana
combinations, and restoring the free
competition that Is said to be the lie
of trade, 1t should be welcomed by
all. But then, 1t seems to US, the fight
should not be one-sidcd. 1t should be
directed against all unlawful COM
binations that are engaged in the
business of robbinE the consumers.

The number of candidates which
are turning out constantly each day

is very encouraging to the coach and
manager of athletics. Never before
in the history of the high school has
such interest been manifested and
the prospects are soaring accordingly.
Many football trips of various lengths
have been planned for this year and
the season will likely wind up with
visit to Salt Lake.
Monday afternoon at four O'Clock
at the fair grounds the first game of
the season will be played between
the Varsity and the Yanigans of the
high school. 1t will be a fast game
and will be an excellent test of the
ability of the different men. From
this game the men will be picked to
play with the Teller Indians Satur-
day, September II. There will be
no admission charged and everybody
is invited to attend. The manage
ment will appreciate very much the
attendance of the business men who
cannot as rule come to the Saturday

the two teams to even them up in
weight and ability and many of the
first teams best men will be in the
second team.
