Los ANGELES PAPER GIVES
A PREDICTION WARMING

The appended article is an editorial
from the Los Angeles Examiner. II
depicts the things which, the Examiner
says, will happen in Los Angeles. il
Mayor Alexander is defeated and Jct
Hartman the socialist candidate. is
elected
But here are a few things worthy
of notice. Although the Examiner is
supporting George w. p. Hunt for
governor of Arizona, everything in
this editorial might as well have been
said Of Hunt as of Hartman. George
w. p. Hunt, democratic candidate for
governor of Arizona in a speech al
Tempe, boosted that he had marched
behind red flag and said he was
proud of it,
But here is what the Examiner says
will follow the election of a socialist:
Have you ever stopped to think ex-
actly what the defeat of Alexander
will mean 10 your pocketbook?
Are you of the apathetic belief that
it will mean nothing at all?
Do YOU nurse the illusion that things
will go along just about as usual
no matter who is elected Mayor of
Los Angeles?
If you do, you are mistaken; and
here is one reason why:
Prosperity is very much like a deck
of cards stood on end: when one
card falls, all fall; and the links be
tween the prosperity of capital and
the prosperity of labor are so entirely

not have a flaw without disturbing
the whole chain.

THE WISCONSIN BLIZZARD.

1t harrows the soul TO read of those
tremendous convulsions OF nature such
as the dispatches describe as occurring
in Southern Wisconsin and in Illinois.
The sudden oncomng Of cyclone like
that, accompanied with snow, sleet. and
freezing cold. is one of the seyerest ex-
periences that unsbeltered mankind can
endure.
If appears that the storm came along
following period of mild weather and
that the storm brought besides its at.
mospheric disturbance and destruction,
wave OF cold which was immedia telv
fatal 10 many persons, and will prob
ably be found ultimately carrying death
tn many more.
Man is absolutely helpless in the face
OF such disturbances as this. All his
boasted inventions, all his pomp of in-
genuity. shelter, and protection fade
away as nothing, and man that is
caught shelterlcss is relegated to the
same impotence as primitive man was
IN the dawn Of the human race. The
elements in their disturbing fury wipe
away all the intervening thousands of
wears and leave mankind Just as before,
save only that in structures so solid and
tight as TO resist the fury of the storm
protection is had, precisely as it was
had in well.protected caves in pre-
historic times.
But the suherines of those who were
obliged TO pass the night in open fields,
or in such shelter As the brush or trees
might provide, were indeed keen; they
were put in a pitiable plight. Sym
pathy and sorrow must go out to them
IN large measure; but the coming of the
day brought protection and cheer, and
in this the advance of humanity In the
ages stands forth supreme; for relief
was immediate and ample. 1t was ter.
rible experience; but after the fury OF
the storm and the darkness OF the night.

comfort and peace.

oouRTEsIgs TO THE CHOIR.

The courtesies extended TO the Salt
Lake choir in all Of its Eastern trip,
and especially in New York, are
gratifying here at home in the highest
degree. The choir was feted and
treated in Chicago, and thon in New
York Maudc Adams gave them NATL
nee and reception, and told the mem
bers OF the choir what a good I'M
preston they were making throughout
the East. and what advantage their
tour would be 10 Utah. Then there
WAS recital in honor Of Mr.. Mcclellan
at the Astor hotel, followed by n lunch
con and banquet to the entire Utan
party Of 800 at the Waldorf-Astoria
by Mr. A. f. Stillwell. president Of
the land and irrigation exposition,
who complmented the choir handsome
", and said that il was the main at
traction of the land show.
The Tribune feels Il sort of personal
pride in these triumphs of the choir,
since it was this paper which sup
ported the proposition that the choir
should go. in spite Of opposition IN
certain high quarters, an opposition
which was based on untenable grounds,
and arose from misunderstanding OF
the popular mind. 1t was held by some
OF the leading church people that the
magazine articles being published in
the East were of such a character that
the choir would be likely TO be coldly
Al.
The Tribune combated that idea, and
said that the presence of the choir
would be the very thing to dissipate
any wrong impressions which the
articles had made, and that,
as matter of fact, the magazine
articles would tend 10 advertise the
choir and make its success more pro-
nounced And neither was there any
thing in those articles that in any way
would tend to throw obloQuy upon the
choir. or upon any of the good people
from Utah. or upon the choir member
ship itself in the proposed tour. Still,
the choir had 10 90 without the sane
tion Of the church. which. IN fact. was
Just as we'll
The Tribune congratulates all con-
ccrned upon the success of the "trip OF
the choir and its triumpbs III the East;
upon the handsome courtesies extended
to it; upon the recognition which it
received and the applause showcred
upon it. 1t was all tirst-class in every
way. and must certainly rebound im-
to the credit Of the choir, and
TO the benefit Of the State.

because the plan proposes 10 take away
from 1000 National banks the power and
privilege Of Issuing banl, currency which
they have exercised for nearly nifty years
and to confer this solely upon great
central hankng institution whose entire
powers at times will be under the con-
troll OF only nine men,
Mr. Coffin recognizes the necessity Of
currency reform, but points out that
everything desirable which is recon.
mcndcd in n mouopolistc way by the
Aldrich Commission could be reached in
a more direct. positive, less costly and
nonmonopolIstlc way by the banks as
they arc ut present organized, without
supcrimposing upon them the Reserve
Association with its needless, cumbrous
and costly organization and operations.
One Of the greatest difficulties to bo
faced i'll the carrying out Of the Aldrich
plan is the disposition Of the S720,000,-
600 Two per cent bonds now held chief
" by the banks as a security for
their currency. The AIdrich plan rro,
poses that these be called in, and that
three per cent bonds be issued in
their place, the Reserve Association to
be taxed by the National authority one
and Il half per cent for its franchise
on the amount of this proposed three
per cent bond issue, leaving the Gov
crnmcnt to pay, net. one and n half per
cent interest on the bonds. Mr.. Colin,
however, meets this proposition by as
suming that there is an advantage to
the Reserve Association in doing this,
and suggesting that the same transfer
could less extensively and more swiftly
and easily be made with the banks
who now hold those bonds. instead Of
the banks first turning them over to the
Reserve Association to deal with the
Government. There is proviso in this
section of the plan which forbids the
Reserve Association disposing of any Of
those three per cent bonds for five
years, and then il would be allowed TO
dispose of them at the rate of $50000-
600 year. This would tie up the
operations of the whole plan for FIVE
wears to begin with, and, after the cX-
piration of the five wears. the Reserve
Association could sell $5O,000000 year
of those three per cent bonds. thus
escaping the one and 4 half per cent
tax on their account. when the Gov
crnment would be required to pay the
full three per cent interest on the bonds
sold;- and in fifteen wears the Reserve
Association could dispose of all of it's
three per cent bonds, escape the one
and half per cent tax on account of
them, and the Government would stand
to the payment of the full
three per cent interest, whereas now it
pays but tive per cent

ALDRIoH' s POOR DEFENSE.

Former Senator Aldrich, chairman OF
| the National Monetary Commission, is
out IN defense of his currency scheme,
and his proposition to establish n Cen
tral Reserve Association which would
be practically Central National Bank
| without the name.
Mr.. Aldrich stated in his own words
briefly the criticisms addressed against
his plan, to be the danger Of unre-
strained innation of credit; the danger
of the control of the National Reserve
Association passing to the hands of
banks; and the lack Of specified gold
reserves. In replying on these points,
Mr.. Aldrich turned his attention prln-
cipally to the formulation OF the obicc.
banker Of Chicago. and to criticism made
by former Governor Joseph w. Folk of
Missouri. Practically the same objcc-
tions have been made by others. includ-
ing professors of colleges, currency ex.
perts practical bankers, and former of
ficials in the Office Of the Comptroller of
the Currency. The Tribune stated the
same objections on tho morning that the
Monetary Commission met in this city
last week.
We do not see that Mr.. Aldrich has
been at all successful in meeting the
objections raised against his plan. He
appesrs 10 rest his case entirely upon
the proposition that the persons who
would be entrusted with the tremendous
power conferred in his proposition
would be good, honest. expert financiers
and bankers who could be depended up.
on to do nothing wrong, either in the
banking affairs under their charge, in
their relations with the National gov
ernment, or in their good faith with
the people. 1t seems to us that this
is a good deal of an assumption to
make; for, If the good faith OF the
persons handling the Reserve Associa.
tion, and to whom the government
would practically turn over the control
Of the currency of the country, nine
men in all. would he such men as Mr.
Aldrich had IN his mind and describes.
and could be so absolutely depended
upon to do all things well, then there
would appear TO be no particular rea.
SON for any curb upon them at all. Just
turn them loose and let them do as
they please, confident in their skill
their honor, and their well-meaninp eff
forts and acts.
But that is not the wav that bust.
ness is done. 1t is not the way that
the United States would undertake to
handle its currency, or 10 put its re.
sources at the disposal Of any private
persons whatever, no matter how skill
full and wcll-meaning those persons
might be. AS we have stated hereto
fore, if the government is to be in this
scheme at all. il ought to have charge
of 1t; if it cannot have charge of it,,
1t ought to keep entirely out of that
bankers combine: and should by no
means allow its resources to be drawn
upon at will by any person or set OF
persons. And it docs not appear from
Mr.. Aldrich 's defense of his measure
that anything whatever has been gained
by the trip OF the commission through
the country ostcusibly to get new ideas,
but. in fact, to get such approval as
might be had Of the report as previously
formulated

When the members Of the Aldrich
