(By Tavenner)

Washington, May 12-The Demo
Gratis, assisted by handful of fight
ing progressive Republicans, have
forced the administration to abandon
some of the worst of the corporation
serving clauses placed in the railroad
regulation bill by Attorney General
Wickersham.
Wickersham framed this bill after
conference with six railroad presi-
dents. Wall street knew long in ad.
vance of the public appearance of
the bill that it would be so drawn as
to annul the Sherman antitrust law.
Railroad interests bought and sold
stock on the strength of their ad-
vance information.
Had the railroad regulation bill be-
come law as prepared by Wicker
sham, it would have practically de-
stroyed all that has been accomplish
ed in the last twenty years to give
the government some measure of con-
troll over the railroads of the country.
No attorney general of the United
States has ever been revealed in just
the position Mr.. Wickersham now oc-
cupies.
Instead of having drawn bill that
would tend to place greater safe
guards about the rights of the people
of the United States, as might natural
ly be expected from public officer
who Is receiving a salary on the as
sumption that he is giving such pro.
lection to the people, Wickersham has
been charged on the floor of the Sen.
ate with having attempted to take
from the masses even such inadequate
safeguards as they now enjoy, while
at the same time giving the corpor-
ate interests the right to merge and
do other things that the Sherman
law has forbidden them from doing.
AT the time of Wickersham's ap.
pointment 1t was asserted that he had
been selected by President Taft in
Difference to the wishes of the corpor-
ations of the country, who had spent
money and coerced workingmen to
vote the Republican ticket, and who
demanded as compensation for this
service the privilege of naming the
attorney general
The unusual interest of special priv
ilege in this office may be realized
at full value when it is understood
that the attorney general is in abso-
lutte charge of the prosecuting ma
chinery of the government
Whether Wickersham' appointment
really was the result of a prediction
arrangement or not, the trusts have
had no occasion to be dissatisfied
with the Presidents selection. When
ever the rights Of the people and spec
'al privileges come into conflict, Mr.
Wickersham decides favorably to the
corporate interests and against the
people. This is what the records OF
mis- office show.

MORE ABOUT THE FRUIT CROP


Whenever the winds blow cold in
the spring, the white frost appears in
the early morning and the rains seem
little more wet and penetrating than
usual, there comes a wailing sound
which conveys the alarming declara-
ton that the fruit crop is ruined
The United States agricultural de-
partment conducted a series of ex-
periments in order to learn the point
in temperature at which fruit bios.
SONS gave up the ghost and dropped
from the trees. 1t was found that the
amount of cold which blossoms will
withstand varies as follows:
Apples, showing pink, 20 above zero.
Apples, in full bloom, 26 above zero.
Pears, showing pink, 20 above zero.
Pears, in full bloom, 27 above zero.
Peaches, showing pink, % above
zero.
Peaches, in full bloom, 2S above
zero.
The lowest temperature recorded
by the local weather bureau during
the present cold spell was "a above
zero, or two degrees above the freez

REALTY PROSPECTS
UNUSUALLY BRIGHT
Real Estate Men Believe Sum-
mer Season Will Be
"BeSt Ever"

During the past week the real estate
dealers OF the city have been wearing
the smile that won't come off," This
smile is the direct result of the beau
tiful variety of spring weather which
the weather man has handed out, and
which has caused numerous inquiries
for all kinds of property, business,
semi-business, residential and sub
urban.
Though there were no big deals con-
summated during the week, a number
or small ones served to show which
way the real estate wind is blowing
Everything in the real estate line is
tinged with a roseate hue, according to
the dealers, and a strong optimistic
sentiment pervades the market.
The incorporation of million-dol
concerns augurs well for the prosperity
and growth of the city and the state,
they say, and means that Salt Lake is
bound to become the great distributing
center for the intermountain empire.
The announcement that the Griffin
Wheel company, which has purchased
large tract Of ground in the north
western part Of the city, intended soon
to erect large plant for the making
and repairing of car wheels, was good
news TO all dealers. They say that it
is bound to give an impetus to an al
ready lively market.
Great activity was shown during the
week in subdivision and addition prop
erty. Several new tracts have been
purchased, and the work of plating
will be done right away. If homes are
built on a fifth part of the lots sold
during the spring and summer it means
that there will be thousands of new
residents added TO the population of
Salt Lake.

ONLY TWO PASS TESTS
Dairymen Not Always to Blame for
Having Milk for Sale Which
is Below Standard.

As a result of milk tests made In
Ogden by Heber C. Smith, deputy state
food and dairy commissioner, it has
been demonstrated that dairymen are
not always responsible for the low
tests Of the product supplied consum-
ers. Out of eight dairymen recently
put to test, one, A. D. Garner of Og-
den, was found to be below standard
Mr.. Garner laid the blame to the farm
ers who supplied him with his product,
which resulted in a test of five farm
ers who supplied Garner Friday and
yesterday by Mr.. Smith. OF the five
only two were up to test, showing
them to be responsible for the low test
of Datryman Gamers milk.
