II realize that this sweeping settle

And divorce Is certainly n terrible
menace to America. The statistics show
that one marriage In every twelve Ia

the proportion Is one marriage In every
six. 1t is unquestionably due to the
loxity of public opinion.

THE PARK BOARD LEGALITY.

II Is encouraging to sec that strong
icgal talent mpbolds the powers of the
City Park Board of salt Lake This
legal opinion is quoted to the effect
that the Park Board will still be a
legal body after the new commission
crs are ipductcd into office in case 1thc
commission form of government is de.
clared by the courts 10 be q legal mu~
nicipIl government in this city.
There has been question raised upon
the powers of the Park Board on two
grounds, first, Oh the validity Of the
law tsci as TO its revenue powers aud
tho financial operations that ncces
Sarily will pertain TO its work; aud
second. in tbe possibility that the new
commission form of government would
'lceislate out of office this Park Board,
which has been part of the city ad'
ministration which the new commits"
siouers would supersede.
The value of the Park Board is be
voud question; and every one will be
glad that a legal opinion fayors its
continuance as part Of the new form
of city government. even though it has
been suspected that it might he legs-
lated out of office, as the chief form
Of city government here is by the com

And yet it is evident that something
further is required than mere legal
opinion. The Park Board is under.

ing of the city and for the adornmeut
of its public places. Its plans are both
beautiful and comprehensive. calling
for much aud proper expenditure in
the public interest. 1t is immensely i'm"
porlant on every account that there
should be no question as TO the pow
ers of the Board, aud its authority to
incur the obligations that VIII he
necessary IN carrying out the fine
plans which the Board has IN view.
Therefore the suggested lawsuit TO test
the validity of the Board s existence
aud its authority and work under tho
new form Of government should clearly
be pushed IN the courts. If it is not
so douc, there is liable to he trouble
later on 10 the resistance of taxation

Board would feel itself on firm ground
in sIl Of the procedure. Unless this
is done, there will be always a suspi.

and risk ought to be avoided by tcs,

made such botch of in this city. We
