~ 10 UNFAIR 10 me, ana
It Is unfair TO all who take the city
lights, and If the other company were
now accepting additional patronage,
the city could make no complaint, II
we should in bulk turn our trade to
the competing company This of
course would be only a temporary re.
lief. and in the long run injuring our.
selves all the more.
No one of course can complain at
the price of 15c, yet | complain at
the 30 pea cent that / am paying more
than my neighbor, and with the pres
ent information that | have, I think
the city fathers did wrong in advanc.
ing the price. Naturally then you
ask the question what could be done
to increase our revenue and my an.
swer is this: From the 300 lights
the city plant is furnishing. she Is
receiving $4,000 per month. If To-.
gan City charged 35c per light or
three for a dollar she would be re.
ceivlng for her 800 lights S2,259 per
month or S2IO3G.OO per annum. She
received last year at 1Oc per light
$ll,6lo.OO, thus the difference be.
tween the price Of 1Oc and three for
a dollar equals $l5,396.OO per annum
With the advance for 6IA years her
revenues would increase from light.

ECONOMICS AS A STUDY FOR
YOUNG MEN.

In the mutuals of the city the
young men are studying subjects of
political economy, a most commend.
able study for anybody to follow. One
great drawback which this course for
the mutuals will always have is prop.
err teachers for the subject. To get
men who know enough of the subject
to teach it effectively is most diff
cult task. In some wards, however,
this is being done. We have in mind
the First and the Fourth wards at
present, not knowing of any other
wards; in these two the men in
charge of the class know considerable
about the subjects and are perhaps
some of the very best Informed stu.
dents in the city on subjects of poll,
teal economy
Surely no subject could be taught
the young that could benefit them so
much as political economy. We advise
the young to attend, for the time will
be pleasantly and profitably spent

ific minds as those directing the pol.
icy OF the Salt Lake Tribune, will
pass by in time, leaving the English
and the Germans wiser for their ex-
perience.
1t is sad, however, to think that in
spite of the enlightenment of the
modern day, there can be people who
will follow after a sporadic, merciless
and foulsmelling outbreak as the pres
ent one. But is it not merely another
evidence that, no matter how rotten
the leadership, how damnable the
methods, how utterly false the doc
trines, how diabolical the plotters,
there are always good people to take
up with the movement?

Voice Of the People
A TAX FOR ELECTRIC LIGHTS.
Editor Republican:

Editor Republicans
As the Logan City Electric Light
plant has cost the taxpayers over
100000, ana the bonds are not be.
ing met, the plant is matter worthy
the consideration OF every taxpayer.
Logan City should be looked upon by
the people who love aud live in it as
they would upon a corporation in
which they may be stockholders. It is
very well to appreciate the fact that
we are getting lights at ten or fifteen
cents, and feel good temporarily, but
we must realize there win come n
time when we win have to pay for
what we are now getting for practlc
ally nothing As the city council with
It's mayor are called tho fathers Of
the city and to then the people Of a
city usually look to for the adjust.

IMPROVING TIMES.

According to the financial reports
emanating from the east, the depres-
sion of the past three years is cas-
ing up, and a return to active trade
is manifesting itself in the centers of
industry. While this action is only
slight, yet much store is laid by it
as an evidence of what will follow in
due time.
We have great faith in the promis.
ing outcome of the present depres-
sion which is largely due, we believe,
to phase of the financial mind
which cautions retrenchment and
conservation rather than ruthless and
thoughtless expenditure and invest
ment. Money is as plentiful, if reports
are TO be accepted. Indeed the same
amount of money still exists as form
erly and needs but to be tempted out
into legitimate fields instead of being
chased into wildcat ventures. When
this policy of careful retrenchment
goes far enough to put most of the
wildcats out of business, the return to
active trade will be made.
And if the entire species of wildcat
is eXterminated the country will be
UNNECESSARILY benefited Cache es-
pecially will be blessed above all
lands because these stock sharks have
fairly banqueted their jolly stomachs
on the unsuspecting Cache farmer.

safety which would attend the stub

of Washington.
AS a further establishment to this
tale, Uncle Joe" is said to be "sot"
against clothes that cost much money.
He is simple in his tastes and hates
to spread II on in the mater of his
apparel. SO his devoted wife had
much to concern herself about, be-

ing only, little over $100,000.00 and
the city would be out of debt But Mr..
Taxpayer, the question now comes,
would it be fair and just for those
who are now taking lights from the
city to pay for the plant and then
turn it over to the entire body of tax
payers? Would it be fair for those
who started to use the city lights and
have continued faithful to the city to
pay the entire bill and the other half
to be getting their lights at 1Oc- per
lamp2 Would this not be a nantes
tation of ingratitude on the part of
those who have managed the city af-
fairs to those who have taken the city
lights at all time no matter what the
price might be? AS | see it, every tax
payer irrespective of the plant he
may patronize, should help to pay for
the city plant.
The valuation of the property of
Logan City is placed at $3.50, SO7 90;
Let the light be reduced to loo per
lamp and let there be a tax of 7b
mills placed upon the taxable property
in Logan City. This will bring an ad-
ditional yearly revenue of $l6,356 to
the plant, which is practically the
same revenue tina the city would re.
ceive If the present takers of city
lights were paying at the rate of
three lights for one dollar. But the
difference lies in the fact, that ey-
cry user of lights in the city, would
help TO pay the amount necessary to
meet the entire cost of the city plant
in 81 years instead of those only
who are using city lights, being
obliged to pay at he rate of three
lights for dollar. They would be pay
ing about half that much while those |
who are patronizing the Hercules
plant and getting their lights for
loo would also be paying about 16c
per lamp.
AS the tax levy will soon be de-
cided upon by our city fathers, this is
a matter they should seriously con.
slider at the present time.
am told that Ogden in the year
1903 decided to buy from David Ec-
cles the Ogden water system at a
price somewhere aroung $25O,OOO. II
became necessary for the city to raise
100000 In order to do so they
placed mill tax sufficient to raise
that amount in the fall of 1909. The
people needed the water and were
glad to know that the city had made

USING OUR OWN CAPITAL.

Cache county is about to meet the
question, shall we bond for roads? p
Logan is trying to get a hospital, O
hotel and funds for an annual county
fair An interurban railroad would al
so be most welcome addition to our
present public equipments. But the
cry is, I'VE have no cash and see no
way to get it,"
Suppose that the roads will cost
100000, the hospital $4,000, the ho-
tel $4,000. the interurban 500, 900,
and funds for county fair $4,000,
bringing the total to $435,OOO; we
claim that even that figure is a
mere bagatelle compared with the
amount Of money the stock shark has
gotten out of Cache. And furthermore,
If the people OF Cache had deposited
their money with the local banks for
period of five years, kicking the seat
of every stock peddler completely out
of the yard every time he put in an
appearance, we could take the avail
able capital and start every one of
the enterprises asked for above.
In France people save their money.
In the great Bank of France at Paris
people can make deposits of few
cents, with the result that it is pro-
verbal for Frenchman to save
money. He is loaning the world money.
What We would like to see in Cache
is a little more of the French spirit
OF thrift and saving, than of big
desire ito cut wide swath and make
killing"
We know people generally go into
ecstacies about how rich and merci.
less the banks are; the whole truth is
that people are of that opinion because
they have to borrow so greatly after
they have wasted so extensively.
Pour money into the banks and you
make them more patronizing to you;
keep on borrowing from them for oil
stock, gold mines soap bubbles and
coal holes, and you make them more
begrudging of their capital We arc
not advertising the banking business,
let us hasten to say; we are advising
thrift and saving on the part of the
people. And especially we are anx
ious to warn against the damnable
stock shark, for he impoverishes the
valley and steals away happiness and
contentment.
