A HISTORY OF THE UNITED
 STATES STEEL CORPORATION

New York. October 26.-The United States Steel corporation, the greatest comb ination of capital in the. world, was organized in 1901 under the finan cial management of J. P Morgan & Co, and began it's corporate existence un- der the laws of New Jersey on April of that year.
 Charles M Schwab, formerly Andrew Carnegie's right hand man and first president of the corporation, is said to have first suggested the idea, having preached it, according to his own tes- timony before the Stanley steel in vestigating committee. at dinner held in New York at which j.. I, Morgan, MT Carnegie, H. c. Trick F. II. Haf- riman, Henry P. 1ipps and other prom inent financiers and steel men were present
 As the sequence of this dinner, ac- cording to MT. Schwab, negotiations were opened between MT Morgan and different interests which controlled the leading steel concerns of the country, including the largest, the Carnegie company to bring them together under one control. These concerns were the Carnegie company, Federal Steel com pany, National Tube company, Amerl- can Bridge company Lake Superior Consolidated Mines company, American Steel and Wire company National Steel company, American Steel Hoop com pany, American Tin Plate company and American Sheet Steel company, whose combined stock and bond capitaliza- ton amounted to $911, 100000.
 Each of these concerns was in itself combination of smaller companies representing, as set forth in the re- port of the commissioner of corpora tions, Herbert Knox smith, more than 200 originally independent companies.
 The National Steel company, Amer ican Tin Plate company, American Sheet Steel company and American Steel Hoop company were controlled by the William II. Moore interests the American Steel and Wire company, by John w Gates interests, and the Lake Superior Consolidated Mines company by Rockefeller interests, while the Fed eral Steel, National Tube and American Bridge companies were known as the Morgan group.
 cYncange for the stocks and bonds of these concerns there were is sued stocks and bonds of the United States Steel corporation aggregatin s

THE EXTRA SESSION.

An extra session Of Congress is now
Tuesday, April lth. The President
called in to-bc Speaker Champ Clark,
and allowed him his way ms 10 the
date, the Democratic leaders claiming
that their party needed few weeks to
get their programme in shape, This
President Taft conceded, and the date
named was fixed. This viii not only
accomplish the desire Of the Democratic
leaders in giving them time to pre-
pare their programme, but IT will in
sure TO all Of the members of Congress,
old aud new, their mileage, without
question.
1t will doubtless be a fresh cause
of offcnse to Republican leaders in
Washington that tho President has
made this concession to the Demo.
cratic party. But the truth appears
TO he that President Taft is not play
ing politics to a great extent in his ad-
ministration, as many Presidents have
done. Besides, he owes something to
the Democratic party for support by
that party TO his Canadian reciprocity
agreement, and rs this is given out
ms the leading cause for the extra scs-
sion, the concession 10 the Democracy
is a courtesy that is fairly its due.
And so we shall have in little
more than q month repetition Of the
tariff wrangles that began in the
spring of 1909 and resulted so disas'
trouslv for the Republican party. If
the revision that the Democrats are
about TO propose along tariff lines re
suits as disastrously TO the Democratic
party as the Republican party revis-
ION resulted for it, then the party wis.
dom of President Taft in making this
agreement with the Democratic leader
will be more apparent TO the Repub.
lican leaders a year hence than it is

THE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA.

1t is reproach to Salt Lake that
the symphony Orchestra here is so i'll
supported. That organization has been
doing its best, and that best is equal
TO the best anywhere, to keep the
music loving people of Salt Lake City
up to the high plane in music which
they claim they profess to enjoy. And
yet, when last week the symphony Or.
chestra gave a concert that was per
haps the best ever given in this city,
and certainly one of the very highest
order, the receipts were so pitifully
small as to be negligible.
We do not know what is the matter
with the people Of Salt Lake in their
relations with the Symphony Orchestra.
Every one praises that organization
every one is full of admiration for
its work; and yet, when it gives Il pub.
lie recital the like Of which the people
would throng TO sec and would praise TO
the skies if given by n travelling com
not only wakens no enthusiasm but
attracts little attention.
The symphony Orchestra certainly
deserves wei! Of the people of Salt
Lake. IT has been the living spark that
has kept enthusiasm alive for the best
music year after year But to what
requital7 Practically none. 1t is a case
where professions are not in the least
carried out hy performance, and where
substantial appreciation is admittedly
due that appreciation fails.
We should be glad if some method
could be found to awaken interest in
and enthusiasm for the work of the
Salt Lake Symphony Orchestra. That
work deserves most cmphatically the
appreciation that this city should give
to his musical organization, but so far
it has not received it. Those who have
charge of the symphony Orchestra
would do well 10 make candid thor
ough and busincsslikc investigation OF
tho situation. and if possible find out
just where the trouble is, and remove
it: for certainly the city cannot afford

THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE.

The number Of electors of President
and VicePresident comprising Tho
electoral college was, az the last Prcsi

iority required to elect would be 263.
If Arizona and New Mexico are ad

cording to whether New Mexico is to
be allowed two Representatives or but
one. Arizona will have one. and New
Mexico will have at least one. And
each State will have two Senators. That

327 ,301 population, which is slightly
more than that Of Idaho, and would,
on the same basis, be entitled to the

corded, then the figures last given will

CANAL FoRTIFICATIoN.

The House Of Representatives un-
queshonably gave Just expression 10
the sentiment Of the country when it
| the Panama Canal This fortificatiou
is estimated TO cost altogether 1000,
900. and an appropriation Of $4,000, 900
is made for beginning. Tho House
would have voted even more emphatic
/ ally in favor Of the fortification. but
some members thought il would be time
enough to begin fortifying after the
canal is finished. The overwhelming
majority, however, thought that now is
t he time to begin, so that the fortifi-
cations would be completed about the
same time that the canal is opened.
This latter view is no doubt the cor.
rect ono, because if the canal is to be
fortified at all. the Notifications should
be ready as soon as the canal is. Other.
wise there would be period of some
years in which the canal would be de.
fenseless. 1t is estimated that about
six thousand American soldiers will be
needed to man the Notifications, and
the bill contemplates the providing of
that force.
There appears to be no doubt but
that the Senate will agree with the
House, and that it will pass the bill
carrying this appropriation by two.
to.one vote And so we shall havo the
canal protected from the time Of its
completion. with no period of unpre.
paredness. If we do not begin to for
tify the canal until after il is finished
and opened for traffic, there would be
number Of years intervene before the
Notifications could he completed; and
thus the argument against fortifying
the canal would be immensely strength.
cned, for if not captured in tho mean.
time, it could be said with a good
deal of Justice that, if the canal could
remain four or five years in safety
without fortification. il could remain
for four or five years longer, and so
on indefinitely But we consider that
il is the part Of wisdom to fortify the
canal from the first. and TO thoroughly
man those Notifications. providing
them with the best defenses and with
the most modern and effective artillery.
II is a good work well begun.
