REALTY MARKET
FAIRLY STRONG
Uncertainty as to Result of the
Liquor Election Affects
Conditions.
GENERAL OUTLOOK,
HOWEVER, Is BRIGHT
Many People Looking to West,
and Particularly TO
Utah.

Some complaint is heard among realty
dealers that the coming liquor election
is producing a tendency to halt the
realty business TO noticeable extent.
On the other hand, other dealers say
they have noticed no such influence.
However, the dealers who believe there
is waiting tendency to learn the out
come OF the election, are dealers inter
ested in the sale of building lots. This
year sales of lots for home building
have been among wage earners, men
working on salaries, and to back up
their opinion the dealers say it is this
class of people that has stopped to wait
until after the election before closing
up purchases.
Actual sales for the week have been
probably little below normal. Pros
pective buyers have been kept from
inspecting property largely from the

With the removal OF the fence comes
the assurance that the finest hotel in

final details are revealed in the clean

beauty of tho building With the ad
dition Of the white coat OF paint on
the east and north sides, not an inch
of space Of the main building shows
other than white. Balcony trimmings
set off the exterior to advantage.
The removal Of the fence indicates
that the steel framework to the three
coverings for the entrance is in place,
and that the danger sign has been re

T4ET IND ANTI-TAET.

The meeting of the Republican Nation

Taft's friends were in complete control.
a situation which foreshadowed what is
practically certain to happen at the Re-
publican convention.
The talk Of other candidates springs
mostly from Democratic sources and is
intended TO embarrass the Republican
party as far as possible. A little while
ago the opposition was making much OF
Senator La FOllette's alleged strength.
How insinCere IL was in this is shown
by the abrupt manner in which it aban-
doned La Toilette and began 10 use
Colonel Roosevelt's name instead TO prop
agate the idea of dissension and If pos
Sible foment enmities in the Republi-
can party. la Follette'S name was hard
ly mentioned In Washington.
The weakness Of the ant-Taft move
ment is that It has no candidate. La
Toilette is parOchlal figure. Colonel
Roosevelt has repeatedly said that he is
not candidate, and no sensible person
supposes that he could he induced TO
accept nomination. He is too expe-
rienced in Washington methods of pub
licity not to know what the sudden and
dramatic mention Of his name "every-
where" preliminary 10 the meeting Of
the national committee meant. AS an old
hand in the evocation of spontaneous de-
mands he must have been vastly enter
tanned. But beguiled? Well. before be-

evidence that his political Judgment has

4 SINGLE CHAMBER BILL


In passing Mr.. Lloyd Georges insur-
ance bill without amendment the Union-
list ma siority of the British House If
Lords will be playing a shrewd political
game. The bill is crude and imperfect.
So much is generally conceded. Even
its supporters confess that il is by no
means satisfactory, but in need of ma
terial amendment. Yet through the eXi-
gencies Of politics IL was rushed through
the House Of Commons in its present
state, in what has come to be known as
kangaroo fashion" Thus case is pre-
Sented in which il is manifestly desira-
bic for the House of Lords 10 deliberate
over the bill, correct its errors. solve its
problems and put it into satisfactory
shape. There is little doubt that such
action by the Lords would be acceptable
and welcome 10 the government.
But the UniOnist Lords purpose in
stead 10 let the bill become law in its
present crude and unsatisfactory state.
Perhaps they are partly moved by per
sonal pique. Since the government has
shorn them of so much Of their power.
they may say. let il do the work itself
and not look TO them for aid If they
are not TO be permitted TO use their veto
power at their O1'n will. they will not
exercise their deliberative functions at
the desire of the Commons If the Com
mons want 10 be supreme let them bear
the burden That Is the characteristic
tone Of unregenerate human nature,
and human nature is about as unrcgen-
crate and as strong in the gllded
chamber as elsewhere. But there are
those who will think that finer sense
Of public duty should have prevailed
A more creditabie purpose on the part
of the Unionist Lords is that of giving
TO the nation practical object lesson
in the evils Of basty legislation by a
single chamber and the need Of an eff
cient and authoritative second chamber.
II is no secret that many radical politi-
clans including some of the foremost
members of their party are in favor of
