Washington. June 28.-Members OF

ing serious attention to the question
Of what to do to relieve homesteaders
who arc suffering because OF dry
weather conditions In the western part
Of the state.
The delegation does not want to en-
phasixe unduly the drought conditions
and appreciate that any move made is
likely to be seized on to exaggerate
the situation to the harm of some
OF the western counties. 1t is prob
able. however. hat legislation will be
asked to extend time within which
homesteaders may begin residences on
land.
In the case OF actual settlers on home.
steads, provision for their relief Is al
ready in the law. One suggestion is
that no effort be made to get congress
to do anything until next session. BY
that time the relief may not be neces-
sary, and damage feared now may have
largely failed to materialize. At any
rate It will be possible then more ac-
curately to gauge the situation.

ATTACKING THE KAISER.

Just as the contention between
France and Germany on the Moroccan
question is getting comfortably settled
fresh uproar breaks out, both in Ger
many and in France. The newspapers
Of Germany denounce the Kaiser fol
surrendering German interests, and lay
themselves open to prosecution for lese
majestic in denouncing the Kaiser as
William the Timid,'' and "The Val.
orous PoItroon;' all this apparently
because Germany does not stand pat on
its seizure of Agadir. defying the world
to oust it.
On the other hand, the French press
is furious at the negotiations on the
fro, Agadir by concessions of French
territory in Africa, or at least, that is
what they understand to be the basis
of the alleged settlement; for that set
tlement itself has not yet been COM
pleted, and its terms are not known.
But if it is true that France is buy.
ing Germany of from Agadir by con-
cessions of French territory in Africa
or elsewhere, that would almost neces.
sarily mean that Germany will make no
opposition to the practical absorption
by France of as much of Morocco as
she can seize and hold Spain has been
little heard of in this controversy, but
doubtless Spain would be given that
section of Morocco just opposite to her
own southern peninsula, with the water
shed Of the region Immediately contigu-
Gus thereto. The rest of Morocco would
probably be at the disposal of France.
If this should turn out to be the
gist of the settlement, the world would
understand that France had made a
good bargain, and would probably ap.
prove of it. For, France is already in
occupation and governance of Algeria,
and the border disputes between Mo
rocco and Algeria are constant. To
allow France free hand in Morocco,
with the ultimate suzerainty over the
whole of that country except such por-
tion as Spain would consider necessary
for her own protection, would probably
be the best way to settle vexed ques.
ton which has been the concern of Eu-
rope for centuries.
1t Is idle to think of perpetuating
the government Of the empire of Mo-
rocco, for that government is thoroughly
incompetent, weak. and corrupt. When
ever il gives WAY to anyth;no lilo to1ar
ance, or amIcable relations with the
hated ''infdel," then the bigoted, IA
natical tribes rise in revolt, and chase

a striking feature Of the past week
was the report Of the Utah Copper com
pany for the second quarter Of the pres
emit year. This report showed groat
improvement over that for the first
quarter, the production of copper be-
ing larger, the net surplus materially
increased after the payment of the
usual dividend. the grade Of ore treat
ed was an Improvement and the costs
of production were reduced. This com
pany is removing $4,000 tons Of over
burden and ore day, and it pays out
close to 100000 month for labor
supplies and other expenses, much of
which finds it's way to Salt Lake bust
ness firms.
The copper outlook remains un-
changed. Prices have held firm, and
the local demand seems to have grown
somewhat. Exports were very large in
July, and when the final figures are re.
leased they are expected to be in excess
of those of June, which was very large
export month. Copper sold during the
week for 12A cents a pound, mainly
for domestic consumption.

THE MANY-FATHERED TRUSTS

The latest "father" of the trusts,
who, on oath, acknowledges the pater-
nifty, is Charles NJ. Schwab: and we are
inclined to think that this is about
right, so far as the origination of the
basic idea of the steel trust is concerned.
But back of Schwab, Of course, were
the big interests, that were powerful
enough to finance the big steel trust,
and to keep grip on other monopolies
which they had in hand
The gatherings Of the trusts have
been variously indicated and claimed.
There is Rockefeller, Morgan, Jackson,
Gates, Gary, and now Schwab The
trust, therefore, has more fathers than
the evil incarnations which mythology
has so profusely brought to modern no.
tice. But there is nothing NEUROLOGICAL
about trust; it is a cold, dominating
entity, which holds the public and the
business interests Of the United States
within its grasp.

ousies among the European powers, up
sets diplomacy, disturbs the balance Of
power, and creates An incendiary con-
dition that is liable to make trouble

ference of Germany has led to the final
settlement Of the vexed Morocco ques-
tion on lines Indicated, or by trades of
possessions with France. then European
civilization will have cause to rejoice
at the removal of a peril liable to lead
to serious trouble at any time.

plants He surrendered, as testified to
by Mr.. Gary, on being rendered 1913,
100000 in six per cent bonds of the
corporation combine And that was the
last of Carnegie in the steel business
until Schwab was dropped from the
steel trust and undertook independent
operations of his own, backed, as it Ia
ter developed. by Mr.. Carnegie.
1t does not appear that Mr.. Carnegie
ever aspired to be the father of any
steel trust. He stubbornly held on To
his own, producing steel in his own way
and at his own price, in way that exas.
perated the organizers of the trust. and
thwarted all their efforts, In this way
Carnegie forced up the value Of his OWL
plant, until the trust promoters found
that they must get rid Of him at all
costs, and so they bought him out as
has been testified to, on terms stated.
And now there is the international
Steel Trust, which will protect itself
and all of its members against intru-
sion by any one Of these into another S
field. And the force Of any tariff law
in the United States, Germany, or
France, or any free trade law in Great
Britain, will be discounted and the
trust will be able TO protect itself aud

States, there can be no dispute what.
ever but that Judge Gary is the father
Of the International Steel Trust, the
greatest Of them all, and combining all
into one self-protective unit, able to
defy the legislation of the world.
The way in which the values of the
steel plants were inflated. in order TO
reach the enormous capitalization of
the U. 8. Steel Corporation, was fairly
illustrated in Mr.. Schwab's statement,
when he testified that he was to have
been paid his share on a book value of
the Frick Carnegie property, on basis
Of about SIS 100000. But Frick, in his
suit, placed the value Of the property
at $3.50, 100000, and it was finally set
tied on an appraised value Of about
$320,000,000. A few months afterwards
it was sold to the United States Steel
Corporation for $500, ,000,o 900. Here was
an imitation Of values amounting almost
to seven hundred per cent on that one
piece Of property. But it was not alone,
Nearly all the other properties taken in
when the pinch Of getting absolute
control OF the steel industry in this
country was presented, what was out
and were yet needed, were taken in
on practically their own terms. But the
values given Of this particular porperty
in the successive stages in which those
values were placed are so typical and
SO clearly illustrative of the combina-
tion methods, that the country is in
debted to Schwab for presenting them
in the way that he did. 1t is most
instructive exhibit of successive infa-
tions
