What Roads Owe to Salt.

Roads. we are told. owe a great deal
to salt According to one theory. the
Oldest trade routes came into exist
ence as a result Of the traffic In salt.
One of the Oldest roads in Italy is the
Via Salarla. along which the people
of the Sabine country obtained their
salt from the salt pans of Ostla. Salt
was the main merchandise carried In
the translibyan caravans In the days
Of Herodotus. and salt Is one OF the
chief elements In the trade along the
Sahara caravan routes today. Salt
and salt fish, 1t is interesting to re-
member. entered largely into the com
merce Of the Carthaginians. The lat
ter. by the way. was considered del
lcacy in those pre-ChIistian days.

SPECIAL AMBASSADOR

President Taft has appointed former
President Roosevelt as special ambas-
sador to represent this country az the
funeral Of King Edward May 90.
Colonel Roosevelt was due in Lon
don about that time, and naturally I'M
der the circumstances could not avoid
attending the funeral. 1t was felt that
as former chief executive IF this
great nation he was entitled to be
placed on an equal footing with the
ENJOYS of the continental powers.
1t is not supposed that Mr.. Roosevelt
would have resented a place in the
rear during the obseQuies, owing to the
fact of his being a private citizen.
Other Americans in London will at
tend and not feel Inundated on that
account
Nevertheless, it was due to the dig
nifty and prestige of the United States
that a special ambassador be appoint
ed, and there is no one else better en-
titled to the honor or whose presence
among the special representatives will
be more appreciated by the British
people than Colonel Roosevelt.

STRENUOUS WORK.

The citizens Of Salt Lake will regret
to learn that Joy II. johnson, presi-
dent OF the Commercial club, has been
advised by his physicians to take q
short rest. Not that he does not de-
serve relaxation from his arduous du-
ties, but because they hate to lose his
services even for Jew days.
Both President .onnson and secre-
tary Game have be n working early
and late in the interest of the CITY.
Mr.. johnson carrying on his own
business at the same time. With the
publicity campaign on, the booster ex-
cursion about to start, and all the
other subsidiary matters in connection
with carrying on tt work of the Com
mercial club, the strain has been very
great, more so than most people real
lie.
The Herald-Republican hopes Pres
ident Johnson will speedily be restored
to health and soon be able to take his
place at the helm.

ENORMOUS CLAIMS.

The Spanish treaty claims made its
final report the other day, and went
out of existence. The commission had
nine years Of life and vexation of spirit
before going to its eternal rest, and
its members are no doubt glad that
the agony is over.
The report shows that citizens and
corporations with claims against the
government cannot rightfully be &C.
cused Of modesty in making their de-
mands. Claims aggregating s65,OO0,-
600 were passed upon by the commits
sion, and only s1.Ss7,s45 awarded. the
largest single claim allowed being
$4,000.
More than $4,000, 900 was claimed
by 1872 members of the battleship
Maine, and a sugar company operat-
ing in Cuba put in it's little bill for
100000. The sugar people were
given $4,000, and probably consid-
cred themselves lucky at that. Con-
science cuts no figure when Uncle Sam
is expected to foot the bill.

INCOME TAX AMENDMENT.

The legislatures of the various states
are slow in the matter of voting upon
the income tax amendment to the con-
stitution, for the reason that not many
of them have been in session since
the proposition came up. Seven have
affirmed the Observation-Disclosures
Maryland, South Carolina, Alabama,
Kentucky, Oklahoma and Mississippi.
Three have rejected it-New York,
Virginia and Rhode Island.
The approval of three-fourths of all
the states is required for ratification Of
the amendment, thirty-five out Of for
ty-six.
An amusing feature in connection
with the fight for and against the
amendment is the attitude of some of
the New England papers. According
to their view, the matter ought to be
settled by the thirteen original COL
onies, at least they print the lineup
that way.
1t is a fair presumption that there
are more descendants of the New
England colonists in the states west
of the Alleghenies than there are in
New England itself. Even If that
shouldn't happen to be true, it doesn't
make particle of difference SO far
as voting on an amendment to the
constitution is concerned New Eng
land hasn't monopoly on patriotism
and intelligence, and its people are not
entitled to any extra-lateral or consti-
tutional rights and privileges on &C
count of Plymouth Rock
No one knows how the western
states Will vote on the income tax
matter, the one thing certain being
that sectional lines will not have any,
thing to do with the decision rendered
