pose is served, if during the tima that
they live they can keep people out OF
Alaska. and can prevent the utilizing
of the public domain, either in forests
water power. mines, or whatever may
be named. The main thing Is to keep
people away and prevent the use OF
tho public domain. But to what pur-
pose7 Without the use of the public
domain by the pioneer of the past, what
would the United States now amount
to? We would have n fringe OF settle
ment along the Atlantic coast, and all
of the intermediate territory would be
wild Great Britain would have got
ahead of us in the Oregon country, and
Spain would have held Alta California,
so that we would have been shut out
altogether from the Pacific coast. 1t
is one Of the abnormal things of the
time, in all this country, to see this
conservation rage take such possession
of the people as to overturn all the
theories OF tho government, upset all
former practices, and undertake to re-
verse the process by which the country
has been settled and civilized.

be little less than the fat rate that
the average and moderate user has
Heretofore been paying The mass OF
the water users would therefore lind
relief rather than additional charge In
the water rate under the meter system,
but those who havo been habitually eN-
travagant and wasteful would find their
bills startlingly large This class of
users, however, he very justly says, Is
so small compared with the community
at large, that their complaints may
fairly be negligible. In fact those
making complaints under such system,
when the community in general is pay
ing less than before, would, by their
very outcry. disclose themselves as the
"water- hogs that the meter system
was expressly designed to check.
The arguments in Mr.. Bemis's pam
phlet are candid and foreeful. AT the
same time, as we have said before, we
do not believe that the time has yet
come in Salt Lake City for the installa-
ton of meter system, or than the eS-
cessive use or waste by few water
hogs'' ought to be allowed TO put the
city TO the expense of providing meters
everywhere or even to the lnconve'
nience Of undue restriction. 1t Will he
sufficient, we think, if the water de-
partment, aided by the jealous cooper
alton of the police department. VIII
succeed in catching a few ''water-
hops'' and making examples of them,
so that the community at large need not
be Inconvenience by the selfishness OF
n few who are determined upon reckless
and hoggish waste.
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1911-07-24
FAvoRS THE WATER METER

strong argument for the ipstalla-
tion of water meters, and the making
of moderate meter rates. is furnished
by Mr.. Edward W. Bemis of New
Brighton, Borough of Richmond, New
York. Mr. Bemis was SUPERINTENDENT
OF the water department of Cleveland.
Ohio, from 1901 to 1909 i1clusive. He
has evidently made close study of the
meter question, and he considers it in
his little pamphlet from number of
different srandpoints. Reference is
made from time TO time in il to posi-
BILE operations of water companies, but
the stress of his article is in applying
the meter system to municipality owned
plants.
He considers the adoption of meters
from the primary suggestion of their
advIsabillty for the avoidance of ex-

for water should never be on scale

There should always be plenty of water
used for keeping clean, and for every
advantageous purpose. But primarily
the installation of meters is to conserve
the use Of water. and TO require those
who use the water to pay in proportion
to such use.
Mr.. Bemis does not favor any large

PIONEER DAY oBsERvANoEs.

Unusual and widespread arrange
ments are made to observe today, the
sixty. fourth anniversary of Brigham
Young's advent into this valley, as
Pioneer Day, with general and sppro'
pirate exercises Some Of the pioneer
party arrived here two days ahead OF
him. and doubtless conveyed to him
their Impressions Of the valley before
he saw it. The twenty-fourth OF July,
however. is the day officially known as
Pioneer Day. and as such it will be OBJ
served today. with appropriate pro-
grammes, and as a holiday.
1t is in every way commendaole TO
keep such anniversaries. The descend
ants Of pioneers should never lose
sight of the fact that their ancestors
were the FIRST comers, and that they laid
the foundations of the State that was
to be. Such remembrances and snch eel
ehrations are usual throughout the Unit
ed States wherever fixed days such as
the date known and established here
for such observance can be definitely
placed And it is we'll that this should
be so; for origins should never be lost
sight of, and the full record should be
kept wherever it is possible to do so.
In the observauces Of such origins In
other States, there is commingllng OF
the people without regard to anything
outside of the mere fact that the par
ticipants are observing historic day.
This is the best wherever it is possible,
But in Utah the first corners were all
members of one religious sect, and 1t
has been the rule hitherto TO make
Pioneer Day sectarian observance OF
and by that sect. as well as civic
commemoration. The sect whose mem.
bers first settled in what is now called
Utah take charge of the exercises, and
everything is shaped toward the sec!

quite as much as to the civic observance
of the foundation of a State. and often
much more so. 1t would be well if the
foundations of the observance of Pho
neer Day could be broadened in Utah,

be done.
In the meantime, the sectarian con

not be very seriously objected to, al,
though this undoubtedly keeps away
from participation in them a large
and desirable element of the popula-
ton When the day comes, as we trust
it may at no distant time, that sec
tariauism in this matter shall be shaken
of. and all the people unite in the cele-
bration simply as civic commemora-
tion, then Pioneer Day will be even a
more desirable day of memorial than
it is now.
But those who are ruled out by the
conditions of the celebration and OBJ.
servances, are by no means envious or
jealous, They wish most heartily for
the success and good management of
the programme of the day, and hope
that every one participating therein
will find the associations and enjoy.
