THE UNDERSHERIFF BILL.

1t is not easy to understand the pur-
pose underlying the movement for the
appointment of undersheriffs in coun-
ties of the first and second class. with
out the authority of the county com
missioners. No wonder Mr.. Page
thought the measure was "loaded, -
and that other members of the commit
tee looked upon it either with disap-
proval or with suspicion.
Under the general provisions of the
statutes. the county commissioners are
given full authority and power over all
such matters as this. They are re-
sponsible to the people of their county
for the use they make of the power
thus conferred. II it is necessary for
Salt Lake county (and this county ap-
pears to be the only one that will be
affected by this billy to have an under
sheriff, then it seems as though
the county commissioners would be
certain to respond to that demand
and need. They are rather we'll dis
posed. on the whole, to the creation of
new positions for their party friends
There need be no apprehension that
they will leave out in the cold any Of
flee that begs to get in. Neither will
they have any lack of material to fill
all the offices that they wish to pro
vide
1t Is curious. indeed. to see bill
of this kind introduced and pushed The
Salt Lake delegation is said to be
unanimously in favor of it. so far as
their signatures go; but personally. so
far as their work goes, to be very
doubtful of the propriety OF passing
any such bill 1t is our idea. decidedly.
that this bill would be good one TO de-
feat. If il is necessary to create the
office Of undersheriff why, create it
and leave the office to be filled in the
usual way instead of trying to whacl,
the county commissioners This effort
to reverse the whole tenor and the pre-.
vailing idea in our statutes. which gives
the county commissioners the supreme
control, is altogether wrong. If the
Legislature wishes to deprive the com
missioners Of the control that they have
heretofore exercised, let them do so
as a clear. straightforward propose ton.
But 1T is weak policy. and an under
mining policy, to undertake to deprive
the commissioners in one or two in
stances of the control which the law
gives them as to all the other officials
Of the county,
We do not wonder that the legislators
look with suspicion upon this bill; and
we trust that this suspicion will abide

THE LIQUOR NfUDDLE.

The Joint legislative judiciary com
mittee. which had in charge the ques
tion Of liquor legislation. has thrown
up the job; and special joint com
mittee, composed Of three Senators and
two Representatives has been appoint
ed to take up the question and put leg
islation in shape in accord with the Re
publican State platform of last year.
But right there is the rub. What was
the meaning of that platform? There
are a good many different constructions
put upon the language used therein; and
il was largely by reason Of this DIFF
ference of construction and contraricty
of understanding, that the joint judi
ciary committee was unable to arrive
at any solution of the question. ,t is,
indeed. puzzle TO know just what that
platform did mean. Just rs soon as
anyone quotes what seems to be a
straightforward simple declaration,
some one else comes in with another
platform declaration on the same sub.
ject, which knocks the first culmina-
tion into a cooked hat And so it goes.
Just as fast as one proposition seems to
be settled. another comes in that sweeps
it away.
The fact is. as The Tribune has re-
peatedly stated. no liquor legislation at
all is needed, and if any is passed, it
will simply be to meet a partisan end,
and not public purpose or need.
h, - h. IL,
now TO the point that the liquor legis
lation will be left about as it is; but
the State viii be apportioned into a
number Of what might be called liquor
district units. each OF these units be-
ing compelled to vote from time to
time whether they will allow liquor to
be sold or forbid it. This is held to
be a compliance with the Republican
State platform. But at the same time
it would put the public to the expense
and trouble Of elections. which are
wholly unnecessary. IN most of the
settlements of Utah it can safely be
assumed that the sentiment will be in
favor of prohibition. The county con-
AO"h AlNCltNos anu 'ibf
councils. in the smaller cities. are
elected almost universally with view
TO the liquor question, and the people
express at the election of these officers
their desire. whether for prohibition
or for license. That is sufficiently eX
pressed to govern. and, in fact, it does
govern. The idea Of having an election
on the liquor question is
therefore superfluous. wholly needless
expense. If any legislation requiring
such special elections is enacted. it will
not be because of any public need for
it but simply through a partisan de
mand that party pledge snail be kept
And even then there viii be no certain
.y that the party pledge has been kept
because of the uncertainty of the Ian
yuage used in the platform and the
different interpretations put upon it.
The legislation enacted. therefore. will,
f so enacted, be of doubtful propriety.
even from the partisan standpoint for
he sake of which it is urged, while
rom the public standpoint its require
nents wall be both needless and cx-

NO EXTRA PAY FOR THE
EMPLOYEES OF CONGRESS
Democrats Decline to Compensate
Them for Extra Session.

Washington, July 31--Overriding a
thirty year-old practice. the house
voted down to day, 1S1 to 25, the SEN
ate amendment to the deficiency ap-
preparation bill providing for the pay
ment of one months extra pay to
employees of congress to supplement-
their regular salaries.
The amendment would have added
about $4,000 to the appropriations.
Despite the old custom, the democratic
caucus early this session decided to
abolish the extra pay for economy's
sake. Former Speaker Cannon and
Republican Leader Mann were among
those who. advocated the amendment,
insisting that the employees were en-
titled to the extra money SO that they
might pay their travelling expenses in
going to and from home: Mr.. Mann
declared that the democratic employees,
afraid to ask democratic members to
support the amendment. were praying
to the republicans for help. He said
democrats for years had silently al
lowed republican majorities to vote
this extra months pay when they
might have stopped the practice by

ANOTHER AUTO TRAGEDY
AT A GRADE CROSSING
Two Women Killed and Man Fatally
Injured Near Cleveland.

Cleveland, July 31-Two women were
killed and a man was probably fatally
injured when an Erie passenger train,
running sixty miles an hour, struck an
automobile on crossing at North
Ran6all, south Of here, today. The
dead are Miss Louise Snow, 81, Of
Cleveland, and Miss Margaret Tuller,

business man, has a broken shoulder
and serious internal injuries. Miss
Tuller and Mr.. French We're engaged
to be married. according to eye wit
nesses French was teaching Miss Tui-
Ter to run the machine 1t is thought
she became confused at the sight of
the train.
Miss Tuller was the daughter of DIR.

artist of considerable promise. She
was student at the Chicago Art in
stitute. 1t is denied that she was
