that the Tribune needs the money.
That paper is run at a loss continu-
ally, and it must get money from
some source. This also solves the
riddle as TO why the Tribune and
Telegram companies should maintain
Frank l. Sefrit in the position Of
general manager. Sefrit knows moth
ing about the newspaper business and
never did know anything about it.
He was brought to salt Lake because
he had some reputation as a minor
political manipulation back in Indi-
ana, and it was hoped to use his tai
ents in that line here. He has shown
little reason even on that basis for
continued employment, his only claim
on his job being the fact that he can
run a paper with a huge deficit that

A SCHEME THAT WORKED.

Having served their purpose of
clubbing the saloon men into con-
.ributing 10 the salt Lake Tribune
exchequer the cOuncilmanic resolu-
lions looking towards a reduction in
the number OF saloon licenses in Salt
Lake have been put 10 sleep in the
municipal laws committee. The sa-
loon men VIII not be disturbed fur
Their until the Tribune needs the
money again. when they can be
brought out again and used as a club
10 graft the retail liquor dealers.
This is apparently the temporary
finish of one OF the boldest games
that ever was played in salt Lake.
The morning after election, on the
first page OF the Tribune. was a long
article 10 the effect that the saloon
men had supported the Republican
ticket. that there were too many liq-
our licenses in salt Lake. that the
number must be reduced, and that a
mass meeting OF good citizens would
be called TO consider the situation
II was notice TO the liquor dealers
that they must come through as
usual with the usual amount OF cash
10 help the Tribune meet its ex-
penses. That paper had lost $4,000
during the campaign, and the
American" party county committee
needed $4,000 TO pay OFF its help.
Previous 10 the election. Fernie
Fernstrom. who has just sufficient
intelligence TO be used by the Trib-
une in its blackman schemes. but not
enough brains TO be OF much use
even TO them. had introduced a reso-
luton looking towards a reduction IN
the number OF licenses. That resolu-
ton went over until after the elee-
ton. It made an excellent club, and
the Tribune pronunciamento after
the election gave it just the proper
swing. Following this publication,
the collection committee made its
rounds. and on the Saturday follow

Then the Tribune inner circle de-
cided that Fernstrom did not have
sufficient mentality to shove the res
olution through. SO a similar one was

saloon men, then the matter went
further and council would pass
very stringent liquor ordinance. BY
that time. the liquor dealers saw the
advisability OF coming through, and
they did so. Then the new liquor
ordinance was forgotten for the pres
ent; when more money was needed it
could be dragged forth. and used
again as a club.
When the Tribune began its agita-
ton, this paper thoroughly under
stood what was going on. 1t has
seen the Tribune do that ever since
it has been in control of the city
government. and We recognized the
same old game. We predicted at the
time that the matter would be
dropped just as soon as the liquor
dealers came through with the usual
graft. Events have justified the wis
dom of our position. The Tribune
has been running the city for five
years and during that time. the num-
Der Of saloons has been constantly on
the increase, the saloons have come
no nearer Obeying the law than they
did under previous administrations
The game of graft has been worked
all the time.
The people are coming to under
stand that some new method of
handling the liquor business in Utah
must be found. So long as the law
recognizes the business as a legal
one, it should be placed beyond the
power of grafters

coal dealer with being in this COM

the price on us, and we retailers only
