ELECTRICITY VS.. SPRAYING.

1t is evident that the uses Of clec-
tricity are but beginning. Every little
while we see some account of n new use
TO which electricity is put, an effective
use which supersedes something else,
and which is destined TO occupy the
field aud have great future The
latest use that we have seen publicly
mentioned is that of destroying insect
pests in orchards By means OF an eIec,
trical device, applied by a Washington
apple grower, who gave il a practical
test IN An orchard near Spokane not
long ago. The method of use is, in the
trees being provided with incandesceut
globes, each of six candle power. These
are netted with fine steel wire coated
alternately with copper and tin. The

wire netting, completing the electrical
circuit, and the pests are instantly
killed, their bodies falling into a recep.
tacle placed beneath the globe
The estimate by the discoverer Of
this process IS, that ono storage battery
will furnish sufficient current for an
acre field, and that the cleaning out of
the pests will be even more effectual
by this means than by spraying. The
electrical process is claimed also to be
very much cheaper than spraying for
a large orchard, in which is involved
the payment Of many persons to do the
spraying. and the spraying equipment
and the dope used. A further saw.

electrical destruction OF orchard pests
by dispensing with the batteries and

COMMISSION GOVERNMENT.

The Trihune wishes TO call attention
TO and commend the article entitled
'The Commission Form of Govern
mcnt, - contributed 20 The Tribune by
Councilman j. W. Mckinney, and
found on another page this morning.
The article shows thc injustice of ar
bi;rarily imposing that form Of govern
ment upon the people here without
| their consent. the like not having been
done anywhere else in the United
! States Everywhere else the voters
have had an opportunity to say
whether they wished this form of gov
ernment or not, but here they are
obliged 10 take it whether or not.
There is no question but that this is
valid, proper objection to the COM
mission form as arbitrarily foisted
upon the inhabitants OF the cities in
| Utah.
But. not only does the commission
form as imposed awaken objection on
account Of its arbitrary imposition, the
form imposed is objectionable in it.
self. 1t leaves out many safeguards
which surround the commission form in
other cities. it omits the precautions
taken elsewhere TO obtain proper and
fit officials, it omits the restrictions
litical pull, safeguards such as we find
associated with the commission form
of government everywhere else
The employees of the commissioners
in Eastern cities are selected by civil
service examination. they are pro,
tected against political interference,
they are forbidden to buy or sell to
or from the city, and abundant asfe-
guards are thrown about their official
activities, Here all is left open to po-
litical pull as heretofore, The ap
pointees will be named according to
political subservience or attachment,
and their opportunities for graft such
as are cut off elsewhere are left here
in abundant form.
Councilman McKinney's exposition
of the trickery and political jobbery
involved in the imposition of this
commission form Of government upon
the people Of Salt Lake aud other
Utah cities is an Illuminating commen-
tary upon the bad faith, the political
trickery, and the determination to pre-
serve opportunities for graft as in
sisted upon by the Federal bunch here.
Salt Lake City has the commission
form Of government in all its rawness,
but without the protective features,
without the nonpartisanship which else
where 20 with that form Of govern
ment, We have, besides tho elimina.
tion of the initiative, the referendum,
and the recall, the elimination of all
the good points in the commission form
of government, and the pcrpetuation of
all the bad points Of political parti-
sanship in city government, That is.
we have the mcancst tumble. the most
open invitation TO fraud and graft that

sesses in this new and politically
jobbed commission form of govern.
