SAFE AND SANE FOURTH.

Whatever sort of celebration TINS
city may have on the Fourth Of July
this year, it is reasonably certain to
he safe and sane celebration. For,
about a year ago the Council passed an
ordinance suppressing the shooting off
OF firecrackers and the usual noisy eN.
plosions that have so much prevailed
in the so-called celebrations of the
Fourth Of July, TO the peril of per
son and property. All desiring TO shoot
off firecrackcrs. or 10 make explosive
demonstrations Of any kind, will have
TO get permit from the Mayor. with
specific statements Of what can be
fired, and the extent to which the firing
may be done.
The whole matter appears 10 be in
the hands of the Mayor. without any
general movement for any sort Of ccle-
bration The day Will pass in Salt Lake
apparently much as other days, and as
the custom has been here for many
years II is distinct gain, however,
to have the noisy. perilous explosions
stopped. and the fewer permits that
the Mayor may give. especially TO ire
sponsible persons, the better the public
will like II

CONVICT BODYBUILDING.

We notice that the campaign for the
building of good roads by convict labor
is getting into practical shape. The
purchase Of 5000 worth of equip
ment for the road work is authorized,
and Warden Pratt announces that he is
ready to furnish the convict labor at
any time that the Good Roads Commits
sion is prepared TO apply that labor on
the roads
This work must be considered much
in the nature of An experiment. No.
body knows exactly how it will work,
nor what the comparative cost of using
convict labor would he AS compared
with the cost Of hiring free labor TO
do this work. The pay for the convict
labor viii he light. the food supplies
bought in quantity VIII be cheaper than
as though individual workers on the
road bought their food by retail for
themselves. The tools and equipment
generally will he furnished by the
State. The counties will furnish the

sugar business might be thrown back
upon It's true economic basis. and the
people would have some chance to get
sugar at n cost one.third of, as they
were able to do some years ago in this
region.
We have no faith whatever in the re.
ductlon of the price of sugar to the
consumer, as long as the trust is in
control of the situation. So far as the
trust price is concerned, the tariff makes
no difference, the price of raw sugar
makes no difference. IL is simply n
question with that trust how much it
can charge the public for sugar with
out materially diminishing the sales. II
was announced the other day that one
cause OF grievance 10 the big American
sugar trust is that the auxiliary but in
dependent trust on the West Coast Is
able TO make more money proportionate
~ than the big trust makes, because
from Hawaii and the Philippines
whereas the Eastern trust can get sugar
free only from Porto Rico. The i'm
ports from Cuba, which arc the biggest
imports of all, have to pay the regu-
lar sugar tariff duty, less twenty per
cent. When that reduction of twenty
per cent on the duty on sugar from
Cuha took effect, it was said that
reduction in the price of sugar would
follow. But no reduction did follow;
the trust saw to that. IL quietly pock.
eted that twenty per cent itself, and
made the public pay for sugar precisely
the same as before. And so we have
no faith now in any forecast of re-
duction in the price of sugar, unless in
the meantime the sugar trust is dis
solved

THE PRICE OF SUGAR.

The prediction made by Mr. Erwin F..
Atkins, head Of the American Sugar
Trust. as 4 probable result of the re.
duction of the tariff on raw sugar. AS
given in his testimony 10 the House
Special Sugar Committee on Tuesday.
might be feasible enough were il not
for the very trust which he controls.
and which in turn controls the sugar
market of this country. The tariff has
little 10 do with the price Of sugar to
retail consumers. That price is fixed
bv the combine absolutely. and without
any regard whatever to any economic
laws The trust fixes the price sim
ply on the basis of getting the utmost
revenue possible out Of the sugar bust
ness. The sole consideration is the
making Of money for the trust The

sugar al ten cents as they do at the
trust price of six cents; but. knowing
that the tep-cent price would cut down
the sales very materially, the ten-cent
price is not enforced; that is the only
reason why il is not. The people in
this sugar zone pay six cents a pound
not because six cents is the proper price
from an economic standpoint, but from
the standpoint of the greatest returns

The accounts should be very carefully

that this work can be done better and

there is abundance of free labor to be

precisely what any given part of them
has amounted TO. BY doing this the
comparative cost of the work as be

be determined with substantial ac-
cnracy. If this is not done, the whole
question will be just as undetermined
as before. And so we urge IN the be.
ginning of this experiment, that the
accounts be so laid out and divided that
every point of information necessary
for the thorough study Of the subject
be segregated in order that the student
of economics, or the one who investi,

under different circumstances. If this

done, then we shall know exactly how
the experiment turns out. and whether
in fact il is profitable 10 use convict
labor in this work as against free labor,
or not And that. we take it, is the
main question involved.
