THE BANQUET TO MR.. DERN.

The banquet to Mr.. John Dern, Presi-
dent of the American Mining Congress,
given at the Commercial Club on
Wednesday evening" was an outspoken
affair against the extreme Roosevelt
conservation policies. and in antagon-
ism to the measures now pending
in Congress that are designed TO carry
out still further his wrecking pro-
gramme III these, The people of the
West, it was pointed ont, are sure to
be the sufferers by the encroachment
Of such administration. And those who
are enforcing these policies do not
seem to comprehend the disasters that
would ensue were the ideas that they
favor enacted into law
But the practical men of the West
can see things more clearly They
know Just what is the inevitable conse,
quence of the enactment of such
measures and the enforcement of such
policies would mean. And so they op-
pose them on common.sense, practical
grounds
For Mr.. Dern himself, who is such
q devoted friend Of the West and of
mining, the banquet was deserved
honor. The attendance thereat was a
high compliment to him. but compli.
ment that was well merited from Mr..
Dern's long and successful career as "A
mining and business man in this State,
And while Mr.. Dern announced him
self as conservationist to such an
extent as is practical aud reasonable,
he is not sentimental. academic CON
servationist who would allow mere no.
tions to take the place of facts and
practical affairs. 1t was pleasant
occasion all around, and The Tribune
is rejoiced to see that the doctrine it
has been preaching right along on this
subject is so well supported by the
everyday common sense of the mon
who do things here in the West.

THE GRIFFIN WHEEL WORKS.

The tidings of tho decision Of the
Griffin Wheel Works to put up big
plant in North Salt Lake, told exciu'
sively in yesterday mornings Tribune,
is one of the best and most gratifying
matters of news that has been devel-
oped here for a long time, This con-
cern is n very powerful corporation,
is able to do what it wills with regard
to the establishment Of big plants,
having number Of them; and the
news that it intends to establish the
greatest plant of all here in Salt Lake
will be enthusiastically received by all
of our people.
The advantages of Salt Lake for this
sort of a plant are evident. We have
in Utah the iron ores in such profu-
sion as to astonish the world Very
little railroad building will be neces-
sary to reach those fields; and when
they are reached. all that it will be
necessary to do will be to shovel up
the ore, because it lies exposed in huge
ridges and broad hills, absolutely un-
covered, the iron ore clean ana clear
without any admixture or covering of
earth. A blast furnace would of
course be a necessary part of an Ell
terprise which would contemplate the
use of our native iron ores, but there is
here every facility for such a furnace
and every material needed TO make it q
perfect success.
We welcome the announcement of the
new plant by the Griffin Wheel Works
as great and significant step in the
development of Utah's rich resources
and In the advancement of manufac-
lures an this place. 1t is one Of the
greatest pieces of news that could pos
sibly come to the advantage Of Salt
Lake CITY.

THE CHOIR AND EXPOSITION.

The Utah Senate committee on pub.
lie lands has under consideration a
proposal to make an exhibit of Utah
products at the American Land and
Irrigation Exposition which is to be
held in New York next November, and
in connection Herewith to have the
tabernacle choir attend.
There is no doubt that great deal
of effective publicity would be had in
the appearance of the choir at the ex-
position. That organization has ac-
quired renown. and it's appearance in
New York i'll connection with an ex.
hibit of the products of the State
would serve TO attract special attention
10 the Utah showing. The Tribune has
advocated this trip for the choir from
the time that it was first proposed
There was question at one time as to
the advIsability Of the trip, since nj.

such would have been the case Later
consideration of tho matter, however
brought the conclusion that if either

it is our opinion that this was wise

would have been great, and there has

concerts as the choir would be able to

with the New York trip, though, are
such that there is little danger that the
choir will be unable to pay its own
way. Then there is the great good that

LIVERPOOL AGITATED.

There is considerable stir in Liver.
pool, England, on account of the allega-
tion that Mormon missionaries break up
English homes by robbing them Of thcir
wives and daughters.
No reasonable person will imagine
that this charge is true of all Mormon
missionaries; but that it is true Of some
of them there is no doubt. In the first
place, it is a mighty hard thing nova
days to make convert to Mormonism.
There was a time when 1T was Gus
tomary thing for a missionary TO re-
port to headquarters each week that he
had oficiated in one or more baptisms.
That was, of course, when the ideas of
the rulers were less generally known.
But at all times it has been the object
of the missionary TO have as many
baptIsms to his credit as possible.
Therefore there is a great incentive TO
the "boys in the field" to bring home
many "shcaves. This accounts, in
part, for the extreme methods resortcd
to by missionaries of the Mormon
church to get converts. AS to the fact
that 1T is chiefly women who are
wheedled INTO the tolls and away from
home, it may be said that there is little
surprising about that feature-women
are more susceptible TO soft words and
pious pleadings than are men. However,
1t must be confessed that it is not al
ways desire to ''serve the Lord that
prompts the Mormon missionary in his
advances toward the gentle sex in for
eign lands. We have heretofore called
attention TO the case, but it will do no
harm 10 repeat the reference now. for
the reason that the exposition may
have the effect of causing the church
leaders here TO warn the men abroad to
leave the peace of decent families un-
disturbed, even though they fail TO
make one convert in year. The case
we have In mind is that of Elder
Charles Jarman. who went from his
home In Wyoming to fulfill a mission in
England, II is not an exceptional case
at all, for the reason that there have
been hundreds like it. In The course of
his labors IN England Elder Jarman
visited in the family of Il convert. was
| kindly received and entertained at
meals and furnished with lodgings
His brother in the gospel was named
Barry, and he had n wife and one
daughter. This Elder Jsrman, Mormon
missionary. repaid the kindness of Mr..
Barry, Mormon convert, by running
away with his wife, bringing her to
Wyoming on her husband s money, and
marrying her in polygamy-or some
thing worse-while Mr.. Barry was
awaiting her arrival in Salt Lake.
II is not a pleasant thing 10 see the
Liverpool uprising against men who are
supposedly bearers of the message of
the Savior; but until the Mormon mis-.
sionary conduct shall be purged of it's
recklessness the opposition must be
| looked upon as q natural consequence

CONSTITUTIONAL CITATIONS.

When the Badger bin, providing for
an embracing commission TO run
corporation property in this State. was
introduced The Tribune commented
upon 1t. pointing out some OF Its at
tempted usurpations and inhrmlties, by
showing that it is liable to attack on
constitutional grounds. 1T undertakes
to confer upon the commission which
IL will create the municipal functions
of regulating street traffic so far as
street railways are concerned, OF con
trolling telephones and telegraphs,
which derive their franchises from the
city, this being clearly in conflict with
section % of article 6 OF the constl-
tuition. We pointed out further that
the prohibition in the constitution
| against the creation of commission
to perform any municipal functions
might well be held by the courts as,
also, a prohibition against the empow-
ering OF any commission TO perform
State functions. So that the bill Is
assailable upon its foundation basis as
contrary to the inhibition of the con
stitution. and would doubtless be held
invalid by the courts.
| A friend points out another item
of constitutional opposition against
that Badger project. Judge f. D. Hoge'
whose Judgment on n question OF law
is generally recognized as sound, points
out that the bill. at least so far as
railroads are concerned, would prob
ably be found in conflict with section
| ID of article II of the State consutu'
tion. which provides that the LegisIa-
! ture shall fix maximum rates for rail-
road service; and Judge Hoge brings
forward in support OF this the well
known and settled principle of law
that when the constitution provides
that a thing shall be done by the Leg
islature, it is not competent for the
Legislature to empower any committee,
commission or any other body to per-
| form the purely legislative function
thus conferred upon 1T by the consu,
tuition The cnjoining of this duty oy
| the constitution upon the Legislature
means that the Legislature itself shall
tho power thus conferred and the
duty thus imposed, to another body OF
lits own creation We think that the
point is well taken. and that the bill
| in undertaking to transfer the power
and duty conferred by the Legislature
TO commission created by the Legis-
lature must fail When a legislative
duty is imposed by the constitution
upon the Legislature. no other body
| l., ,oI fn
perform that legislative duty. The
granting of power and enjoining of
action confded by the constitution to
the Legislature is exclusive; and we be
lieve that this also holds good in the
attempt in this bill to transfer a simI-
lar power to this commission, as to
other matters, and that such attempt
would be annullcd by the courts. 1t
is not easy, in view of our constitu-
tion. to see how any such bill as this
proposed by Senator Badger could be
validly enacted in this State.

THE GRAND JURY SENSATION

That was a genuine sensation whlch
was uncovered by the Provo grand
jury 1t found lumber combine, a
butchers and grocers combine; 1t
found iaiIs unfit for use. and generally
it disclosed searching and earnest
endeavor by the grand jurors to do
their full duty. Indictments were
found in accord with tho findings OF
the grand jury, and the publicity
which its conclusions has had must in
evitably tend to weaken the combine
which it so excoriatingly exposes. 1t
was frst.class work, and the jury is to
be most heartily commended for it.
This report of the Provo grand jury
shows that that body found ramifica-
tions, if not the headquarters of the
evils which it exposed, right here in
Salt Lake. But it will be remembered
that we had a grand jury here two
or three years ago, which undertook to
investigate these same matters. and
that could find no evidence OF any
combine anywhere. And yet. every
body ut the time knew that there was
such a.. combine, just as we'll as every
body knows that the grand jury in
Provo is correct in its conclusions that
this combine exists now; that it is
speculative combine and cruel one
in crushing out competition, is also
evident. both from this grand jury 8
report and from what every observant
,hn II mi n
events knows to be the fact.
1t is singular, indeed, that the Provo
grand jury could find out so much
about what is going on in Salt Lake
and could get at what everybody be
lieves to be the truth about it, while
our own grand jury could get no evil
dence, and could find nothing wrong.
The logical sequence is that another
grand jury investigation ought to be
set on foot here.
The Tribune for some time past has
been suggesting, not alone the pro-
priety, but the necessity, of a grand
iury i'll this county to inquire into
these monopolistic combines, and
other evils that certainly should be
probed. 1t may be that in the light
of the disclosures of the Provo grand
jury. a Salt Lake grand jury would
get better start on the investigation
of these evils than the former grand
jury here did. At any rate, we renew
our suggestion, often made since the
discharge Of the former grand jury In
this county, that an urgent public need
here is for the impeachment of grand
jury 10 investigate the evils referred
TO and exposed by the Provo grand
jury, as well as other iniqulties that
will inevitably come up for investiga-
tion in case such grand jury is called.

Governor Spry has submitted to the
Senate committee all the correspond
enco received from the president and

this subject. the idea being that the
committee shall make such provision
as may be necessary to enable the
choir TO make the trip. 1t is to be
hoped that such an arrangement can
be made. as both the State and the
choir will doubtless be greatly bene-
tited thereby.

OPPOSING TAX REDUCTION.

1t is singular TO see a newspaper so
furiously opposed TO tax reduction as
the Smoot paper appears TO be opposed
TO the reduction of the city tax in Salt
Lake 1t has had several malicious
and mendacious editorials opposing the
reduction, and making all sorts of false
insinuations regarding it. In all OF
which its position is both baseless and
absurd.
It's latest effusion IN this line is in an
appeal to the assessor, who was elected
by its own party, not 10 advance val
uations any more in Salt Lake City.
But it seems to fear that the Ameri-
can party is going to tamper with its
assessor and get him to raise values
here so that the wrong can be charged
to the Smoot party. This is a clear
confession that its position during the
last campaign was willfully false;
wherein it charged the increase in tax
altogether to the American party. 1t
| is an admission that the assessor of
it's own party is Jointly to blame for
the increased taxation. 1t is also a
slur upon the assessor, which its party
has elected, in intimating that he is
going to play into the hands Of the
American party for political purposes,
and Cypress the people of this city un-
duly in their valuations for taxing pur-
poses That is exactly what the Smoot
party assessors have done heretofore

rage and scandal compared with the
| assessed valuations in other parts OF
the State that Governor Spry felt i'm
PEELED TO attack the assessors for will
full and lawless work, in violation of
their oaths of Office
There is not the least doubt but that
Salt Lake City has been scandalously
oppressed in the tax valuations, espe-
ciajly as compared with the valuations
throughout Utah But this outcry
against further pursuit of the same
outrageous oppression, as made by the
Smoot paper, would be humorous if it
were not so very serious matter That
concern reloiced in the work of its as

the people of Salt Lake City last year
because it could falsely, and vet with
some plausibility, charge the increased
taxation so imposed, altogether agains,

mits its false course in this respect
and undertakes to hold the hands OF
its own assessor from doing more OF
that evil work
1t is about time that the truth in
regard to this tax matter were con
fessed, and it shows little progress
in intelligence on the part of the Smoot
paper when 1T comes to the front and
admits that the fault is largely with
its own assessor. The false pretcnse
which held the American party alone
responsible for this. has to be aban
doned, now that the city administra
