SENATORIAL OBSTRUCTION

II is now said that the chances fol
the ratification of the Canadian reel
procity agreement by the U. S. Senate
are growing darker. number OF
those who oppose it are reported a.
ready to apply obstructive tactics fol
its defeat. And under the rules of the
Senate where single objection is SC
powerful, and where no check is ap
piled to unlimited debate, obstruction
is at once easy and effective Some
Senators who may be earnestly opposed
to ratification may feel impelled to use
whatever means may be open to them
to prevent favorable action. Others.
whose terms are about to expire, may
help in this obstruction, caring not what
may happen now that they are about out
of IT. And so, the obstructive tao
tics foreshadowed are quite feasible
and # really undertaken are certain to
succeed.
But there is another source of
strength to the obstruction Assuming
that the Democratic Senators will be
a UNIV lOT as
the House Democrats were, it will be
manifestly TO the advantage of the
Democratic party to have ratification
postponed to the extra session which il
is assumed that President Taft will i'm
mediately call in case this Senate does
not ratify the agreement IT is quite
possible, then, that Democratic Sen
ators may help in this proposed OBJ
struction, in order to give their party
the advantage of this ratification by a
Democratic House and a reduced Re
publican Senate. If this sort Of party
tactics shall be INDUCED in, the oh.
structionists will easily prevail
There is left now practically but a
little over ten days life for the pres
ent Congress. And the business before
it is enough for a years grind with
the Senate's deliberate methods. So
that the Senate can easily put this
matter off from day to day, without
even seeming TO indulge in obstruct-
i've tactics. But why a Republican
Senate should wish to discredit before
the country Republican administra-
tion and administer this snub direct to
a Republican President is hard to un

THE BILL AND THE BOARD.

There is good deal of pressure ap-
parently being brought to bear in favor
of Representative Wootton s bill to ex.
tend the time for making payments on
lands purchased from the State. The
bill would appear to have a beneficent
purpose, and TO be designed for the re
lief of settlers who have a hard time in
opening the lands they obtain from
the State, and who need more time to
make their payments. But it places too
much power in the hands of the State
Land Board. As The Tribune has
shown abundantly heretofore, that
Board is too much addicted TO grating
TO be entrusted with discretionary
power like this. If it were so en-
trusted, we fear that the farmers who
are poor and who need the relief contem.
plated in the bill would be the last TO
get it, and that those who are best
able to make their payments would he
standing in'' with the Board, and
meeting its views in tine matter of
concessions, and would be the ones
who would get the favors.
There ought to he complete cleans
ing Of the Board and the filling of its
membership with men of undoubted
ability and integrity before such
power as is proposed to be vested in
that Board by this bill could be safely
so placed. The bill itself would prob.
ably afford relief in good faith to many
settlers that need it, III case the pro
visions of the enactment were honest
ly administered. But with the Land
Board as it is at present constituted,
it would be too dangerous risk to vest
in il the discretion so conferred. Tho
Legislature should either make sure of
the cleansing of the State Land Board,
or 1T should vest the discretion now
sought to be conferred upon that body

INDICTING THE PARTY

In an editorial yesterday morning
the Smoot organ argued in favor of the
esta blishment of the parcels post as an
addition to the mail facilities of this
country. Illustrating its position, it
said:
For instance. the resident Of Mexico
City can send 10 n friend in salt Lake
an eleven pound package for u cents a
pound But II the Salt Lake resident
wants to send eleven pounds To his
Mexico CITY friend he must break II up
into three packages and pay l6 cents for
each pound And THIS is true because the
great express companies have for years
mustered enough influence 10 prevent
Uncle Sam from putting into practice
and operation the benefits Of the parcels
post system.
That is a pretty cold scald for the
Republican party. The Republican
party has been in power in Congress
for a great many years; it has had the
President, also, right along; and yet,
that party has refused to remedy a
clear injustice such as is pointed out,
because the great express companies
prevent it.
II has often been said that "the in
terests' were in control of the Repub
lican party. Of Congress, and of the
political administration of this country
We often. hear charges of that kind;
and the dominance of wealth and of
monopolistic power in this country is
bewailed from shore to shore, as an op-
preston and curse; and the Republican
party has been arraigned loud and long
for its subserviencc to those mouopolis.
tic interests. And now, here comes the
official organ Of the party in Utah max
ing square admission that because of the
influence of the express companies the
Republican party, having ample power,
hns refused to right wrong and to do
justice to the people Of this country,
has refused justice to our citizens. even
TO the extent that "barbarous Mex
ico' does Justice to her people. 1t is
a pretty solid, stiff arraignment of the
Republican party by a Republican or
gan, and IS made on straight Demo
cratic lines.

LIQUOR AND SALTAIR.

The special committee that is formu-
lating the political liquor bill meets un'
expected snags all the time, The lat
est is in the matter of Saltalr. The
managers of that resort claim that they
will not be able to keep it open under
prohibition: that liquor selling at Salt
air is necessary TO make the resort pay.
AS Mr.. Joseph Nelson, President OF
the Saltair Beach Company, says:
''People come to Salt Lake from all
over the world to see the tabernacle,
TO hear the tabernacle organ, and TO
hathe at Saltair, and they should be
able to get drink of liquor at Saltair
when they visit that place Mr.. Mel
son. argument seems to be of jum-
bled sort, mixing Saltair, liquor, the
tabernacle, and the tabernacle choir
all together in a way that might cas-
ily' confuse the legislative mind, and
leave uncertainty as TO whether Mr..
Nelson wanted liquor sold all along the
line or only at Saltair In his view,
perhaps, the pocket flask would do at
all other places, but at Saltair the
liquor supply must be on tap and avail
able all the time.
1t is not easy to see how the con
tention that is made in behalf of liquor
at Saltair, apparently from influential
church quarters, is going TO be ar
ranged. Saltair is doubtless to be in

be for prohibition. 1t might be pos
sible, perhaps, to make Saltair liquor

liquor at that place is going to be man
Nelson says, that the resort cannot he
run without the. sale of liquor there,

The more the different features and

in the way Of this political legislation
with respect to liquor, the more evident
it is that all Of that legislation ought
to fail, and that the liquor question
should be left exactly where il is under
