THE KITE. SHAPED TRIP.

The proposition mado in former
years, and especially urged last year,
to afford tourists and visitors an op.
portunity to see some of the great
mining and smelling industries of Utah,
as well ms its scenic beauties and ad
mirable attractions, is revived this
year This proposition is TO have a sort
of kite shaped tour, occupying several
hours, and showing the visitor some
of the great mining operations in Bing
ham, the smclters and reduction works
at Garfield and along the north side
of tho Oquirrh range. thence proceeding
to Sal'alr and back TO the city,
1t is an excellent layout, a line
which would afford visitors moi only
keen scenic enjoyment, but would give
them an impressive idea OF the great
mining and smelling industries Of the
State If the visitors had time to go
further, and also visit the great mines
at Park City and at Tintic, this would
be all the better But for a short trip
in this valley. we do not know of any
thing so enlightening. and at the same
time so pleasing, as such IA trip as this
would he The visitor would view the
valley from the best points, would see

at Bingham, The immense reduction

EXTRAVAGANT PRIMARIES.

A good deal has been said in behalf
of direct nominations by primary elec
tions, and doubtless :. good deal of
what is said in favor of that method
Of obtaining candidates is iustly said.
But primarily the objection to primary
elections is, that they do not surely
give majority candidates; and it IS diff.
iicult to hold n party vote for nom
lnee who has not received the majority
Of the party vote. A good many con
slider that the candidate nominated by
a mere plurality is not in fact the party
candidate. Trouble has arisen on this
specific point from time TO time, notably
in the case of Hopkins, who was de.
feated for the Senate by Lorimer in
Illinois, and in the case of Stephen
son of Wisconsin, who was a minority
candidate also, bur who managed to
secure his election by the expenditure
Of immense sums of money, some say
as much as 100000.
This brings 10 consideration the
point brought forward by Senator
Flint of California, when he declined
TO be n candidate TO succeed himself
In the Senate, saying that he did not
have money enough to maintain per
sonal campaign committees in all legis-
lative districts in California, meaning.
of course, that the man who would sue
ceed at the primary election would
have to have his personal committees
in every legislative district. both Of the
upper house and the lower house of
the legislature. This, of course, re-
Tres vast sums of money, and Sen.
ator Flint said that he did not have
money enough to maintain that kind
of political fight.
The recent primary elections in Chi
cago bear out the same general idea,
that they are too liable to cost i'm
mense sums of money. The Chicago
primaries cost the city and the nom
inees combined, $696,000. OF this the
city paid $4,000 and the candidates
the remainder, being considerably more
than half million dollars. The total
payment represents a cost of about So
TOT eacn vote cast NJ Cnc primaries
At that rate primaries throughout the
United States would cost somewhere
from $40,000,000 to $4,000, 900, 1t
may be said that the Chicago primaries
were beyond all reason and beyond all
necessity eXtravagant In cost; and this
is probably true. And yet, as we see
it, there can be no doubt that the
primary law is the wealthy man IS po.
litical hunting ground. The man who
is able, as Senator Flint says. TO have
legislative district Of the State, is tho
man who is pretty sure to win. because
that committee is faithful to the salt
il cats, most attentive to the personal
interests of the man who maintains it;

any other people on earth are obliged
to pay. We find on this in Financial
America the following statement of ex-
ports Of steel manufactures, which is
a complete and overwhelming answer
to any possible plea that might be
made of any need of protection TO the
iron and steel industry Of tho United
States:
The Illinois Steel company has received
an order from the Great Northern Rail-
way company for 10000 tons OF standard
steel rails, and orders for a total OF 5000
tons from other sources this week,
Comment is heard in steel trade cir
OF iron and steel exports at this time.
The February lieurcs have not been
compiled, but H. is the current report
that the rate of exports exceeds that OF
the preceding three months which
showed much the largest total In the his
Tory OF the country, amounting 10 i56. 5S5
gross Ions, or at The rate OF $50; 600
amounted 10 1.535. SOS tons. An important
feature of our export trade In recent
years is that 1t runs almost entirely to
the more finished forms of material.
whereas years ago pig Iron and steel bill
lets were the principal items OF export.
Some Steel plants are being operated
chiefly on export business. The Edgar
thompson steel plant is producing about
1000 tons Of steel rails n day. the greater
part OF which Is for export.

fact the choice of the party. In every
State there is a splitting up of the vote,
which renders it difficult for any one
candidate to have the majority. And

A LUSTY INFANT -

The protective policy is based on the
idea that the infant industries need
encouragement, and that our labor
wage scale is SO much superior to that
Of most countries, that it is necessary
10 levy protective duties in order, on
the one hand, to build up infant indus
tines and diversity our manufactures,
and, on the other, that we shall give
American workmen pay sufficient TO
enable them to maintain style of liv.
ing, such as they have been accustomed
to. such as BELTS the condition of free
citizenship, and fair education for
their children, all of which they Justly
claim,
An instance of the beneficial effects
of the protective policy was conspicu-
ously IN evidence in the operation OF
the Mckinley tariff bill. which built
up the tin plate industry in the United
States, whereas prior TO its passage we
had depended altogether upon Great
Britain for our tin plates. Great op.
position was worked up against that
law, but its beneficial effects have dem.
onstrated It's wisdom and economic
value.
On the other hand, we have in this
country some Industries and manufac
lures developed for years past far be-
yond the infant stage, in fact so ire
mendously vital and compelling as to
surpass all rivals in the world. The
iron and steel industries are OF this
class. Before the revision of the tariff
law made in 1909, Mr. Carnegie and
other experts in the iron and steel
business pointed out that the needed
period of protection for this industry
had long passed by. They pointed out,
rs every intelligent reader knows, that
United States iron and steel manufac.
tures surpass all others, both in guam
tity of production, expertness of work,
and economy Of effort Our iron and
steel manufacturers are able TO take
contracts in the rcmotest parts of the
world. away from English. German.
and French bidders They can do bet.
ter work, they can do it more quickly,
they can do it ut IA less cost, than all
competitors; and yet the protective
policy was insisted upon in the bunko
revision of the tariff made in 1909 in
behalf of the enormously develoned and
independent iron and steel industry OF
this country. The result is, that the
people Of the United States must pay
more for iron and steel products than

tors violated their oaths in a question of
to pass an apportlonmcnt bill, as the
Constitution requires. We consider it
so grave and serious a default that it
would seem as though the Governor
would be obliged, prior TO tho next
legislative election, to call a special
session of the Legislature for the pur
pose of remedying this great neglect
and wrong For to elect new Legis

GREAT RAILROAD WORK.

Ii is excellent news 10 the people OF
this city lint, prior to his death, Mr..
David II. Motfat of Denver had fully
financed his Denver g. Northwestern
railroad in it's construction as far as
Salt Lake. Our dispatch from Den
yer yesterday morning was reassuring
and entirely satisfactory on this point,
and it proceeded with a cheerful
showing. that the road would be pushed
and would get to Salt Lake City as
soon as ii was possible to perfect the
details and push on the practical work.
Mr.. Moffat is succeeded by his second
in authority in the enterprise, Mr.. Viii
liam G.. Evans. vice president of the
Denver, Northwestern g. Pacific Rail
way company, who will now take the
presidency and carry to fruition the
plans and financial successes Of Mr..
Moffat and Salt Lake and Utah will
get the benefit of the work. 1t will
afford a new through line to the East,
and perhaps eventually another line to
the coast, The old project was to have
n railroad line from Coos Bay, Oregon.
built through this way, and afford the
Western outlet.
The beginning of the actual construc.
tion work on the Utah & Grand Canyon
railroad is announced, large force of
men and teams have begun work at
Lund, grading for construction TO Iron
Springs, Thence the line will go to
Kanarra, and south TO the Dixie coun-
try, with, presumably, branch up

coal deposits that are known to be

Springs is in active progress, and the
graders will follow up the surveyors
closely, This line will be of the great
est possible service in developing the
rich Southern Utah country. and will
afford an outlet to the vast iron de
posits of the range near by Iron
Springs.
The other railroad construction in
Southern Utah from Marysvale toward
the Buckskin mountains has been an
actual work is awaited with eager an.
ticipation.
Surveying has been ordered for
double tracking the Oregon Short Line
from Pennington to Ogden, a distance
of twenty-five miles. When this survey
is completed bids will doubtless be in
vited and contracts let for doing the
work. 1t is one of the steps in the eX
penditure of the 75,000,0 900 for double
tracking and other improvements au-
thorized by the executive committee of
the Hartman railway system, Other
moves in the same direction have been
made and are making at different points
on the Hartman system. all tending
toward the development of this Western
country, and toward making the Harri
man roads the great and ample trans
portation agencies for the interior and
mountain region.
