CONGRESSIONAL DEADLOCK

With the assembling of the extra
at once a formidable appearance of
deadlock between the two houses. This
deadlock possibility, or probability as
the case may be, arises from the sup
position that the Democrats in the
House will endeavor to make tariff re-
vision the prime object and to give it
the first attention of the extra session,
postponing action on the Canadian reel
procity agreement until after the re
vision OF the wool and cotton scbed
ules
1t is TO be regretted that there
should be any such appearance of dis
agreement between the House and the
Senate as is thus foreshadowed; for, il
that programme is persisted in, the cx.
ira session of Congress is likely to be
an absolute failure 1t is not at all
TO be expected that the Senate will con
sent to putting the tariff revision ahead
Of the reciprocity agreement; and if
the House persists in refusing to act
upon reciprocity until the tariff re-
vision is agreed to by the Senate, then
the effort Of the President in behalf OF
reciprocity will be blocked.
We do not think, however, that the
House, on fuller reflection, will insist
upon a programme like that; for no
matter how much the tariff schedules
need revision, the reasoning of the
President, apparently concurred in by
the Senate, that the tariff schedules
should not be touched until the tariff
board has had time TO investigate and
report the best means of revision,
will appeal TO the country. And then
it will not be lost sight of at any time,
that the extra session was called speci-
fically and solely for the purpose OF
acting upon the Canadian reciprocity
treaty; and this is emphasized by the
Presidents message, which names
nothing else as before Congress except
that agreement.
We think, therefore, that the Demo
Gratis of the House would be playing
bad politics if they undertook TO push
through and persist in plan of that
kind, which would inevitably lead to
deadlock. The people of the United
States would not indorse that sort of
politics; and neither would they wish
action to be shirked upon Canadian
reciprocity, in order to carry through
any political purpose or programme
with respect to the tariff, The country
needs relief from the bunlSo tariff OPP
preston, to be sure, but it can well af-
ford to wait for that relief until the
tariff board points out the best means
whereby that relief can he obtained,
and until Congress gets fully into the
harness in its regular session. Every
thing else can wait, even the reap
portionmcnt of Representatives. But
Canadian reciprocity cannot wait and
good faith be preserved
1t becomes clearer every day, there.

HOWELL WAS ALERT.

Representative Howell certainly lost
no tine in Introducing bills for public
buildings in Utah The Tribune yes
trrday morning gave list of these, all
of them reasonable. all Of them ad-
vantageous to the public, and all clearly
defcnslhie as business moves. The items
covered 100000 for a public building
at Ncphi; $4,000 for one at Vernal;
SOC. .0O0 for Ephraim; $4,000 for Rich
field; $4,000 for the Agricultural Col
legc at Logan; 100000 increase for
Brigham City; $4,000 for fish hatch,
cry, and $4,000 apiece for all agri-
cultural and experiment stations TO be
used for studying domestic economy
and household economies
Another bill would provide for the
moneys received from the sale of min.
eral lands, the same to be devoted
toward the support of the public schools
IN the State.
The chief item, however, is $3.50, 600
for Il Government sanitarium at Beck S
Hot Springs. While all of the appro'
priations proposed are needed, and
would be serviceable both to the gov
eminent and to the people, we consider
this last one the chief of all The Gov
ornmcnt has now a military and naval
hospital at Hot Springs, Arkansas,
which is commodious and is well snp-
ported, The proposed sanitarium at
the Hot Springs here would be even
more popular and more serviceable to
the Government than the one at Hot
Springs, Arkansas.
Mr.. Howell has certainly shown an
alcrtness and vigor in the introduction
Of these measures that are commendable
in him as the Representative from
Utah, and we trust that he may get as
many of them as possible into the form
of actual appropriations.

which is also revolving to the American
sense and sentiment, Here, also, in
Utah this sentiment is emphasized
from the fact that the tendency of the
commercialism practiced by the church
leaders is always toward exclusivcness
and monopoly The trust business here
in some forms is seen in its most
odious relations Vast revenues arc de-
rived by the trustee in trust of the
church, and no accounting is made Of
what is done with the money. 1t is
understood that very large sums are
taken away from Utah for the benefit
of Mexico. of Canada, and OF other for
eign regions, TO the disadvantage of the
whole community. For it is idle to say
that only those who contribute this
money and those who handle it should
have anything TO say about it; for the
fact is, that when vast sums of money
are taken away from any community,
secretly or otherwise, the whole com
munity is made the poorer by it, busl-
away is missed by everyone; money is
made more stringent, business is re-
stricted. and in many ways the com
munity feels the evil effect. We could
wish, therefore. that the conference
might declare in favor of an open,
complete accounting for the tithe
money, should withdraw the church and
the leading authorities Of the church
from monopoistic commercial enter
prIses, and from such acts in restraint
of trade as was committed when Mr..
Smurthwaitc and his partner were for
bidden to 90 into the salt business, be,
cause that would have been an in
vasion of the monopoly held by the
company of which the president of the
church was president. This same
monopolistic grasping has driven away
large numbers of enterprising men
from Utah, has restricted the develop
ment of the State, and has held busi,
ness operations in abeyance in very
many cases in obedience to the dctum
Of those whose interests might have
been affected. and who use their church
positions TO maintain their monopOlistic
commcrcialism.
We should he glad to see some en-
phatic steps taken by the present CON
ference toward the remedy of these
evils. Even If we cannot have n dis.
tinct declaration as to all Of them,
il is not unreasonable to ask and to
expect that at least we shall have n
declaration in part. And such clear,
concise declaration from this confer
ence on any Of the points mentioned
would have a distinctly beneficial and
elevating influence upon Utah, both in
its present and in its future. Let us
hope that wisdom will prevail, and that
the conference, catching the spirit of
enterprise and progress that is abroad
in the land, will do something toward
clearing the situation here and inviting
population and capital to come TO Utah,
assuring all concerned that they will
find here, as in other portions Of the
Republic, welcome free from aloof-
ness, and a place where good citizens
may, with every advantage of Ameri-
can citizenship, work out their own fu-
ture progressively, and avail them,
selves Of the community help, precisely
as in other portions Of the Republic.

the usual reply that authorities Of the
church have as much right TO exercise
their civic privileges as any other citi,
zens, the reply is, personally, yes, but
enthusiastically, no. The reason is
plain. First Of all, the American peo.

out the country. There is no objection

ecclesiasts performing their civic

tions. But where they make themselves
prominent in politics and civil affairs
they thereby invite and receive n popu
lar disapproval that shows the Ameri
can sentiment on this question. This
revolt in the minds of the American
people against ecclesiastical interfer-
ence in politics and civil affairs is EN-
phasized in Utah from tho fact that
here the ecclesiasts are sustained as
prophets, secrs, and revelators, thell
words thereby being made to THEN
flock the words Of God authoritative
and binding upon the people, as is not
tho case with ministry and people else
where. So that in Utah it is all the
more important for the ecclesiasts to
retire from political rule and civic
sway than it is elsewhere.

The present conference Of the Nor.
mon church can do very much to put
Utah in line with American desire and
sentiment by a few straightforward,
unambiguous, and clearly expressed dec
larations. First, there should be, and
we hope will be, an emphatic dis
claimer and throwing OFF of polygamy,
and a statement from the church au-
thorities. indorsed by the conference,
that will put new polygamists at least
under the ban of the church as all
Ipolygamists are now under the ban Of
the law. This declaration should make
it plain that the church not only
will discipline all offenders in this
transgression. but will turn them over
to the civil authorities for prosecution,
with proof necessary to convict. There
ouoht to be no reluctance about this,
since the church authorities have clear,
ly and emphatically expressed their
minds in the precise direction indi-
Gated, President Lyman S declaration
that this deceiving of women must
cease, and the skullduggery involved
in new polygamy must be absolutely

! this plea. If the conference will
make declaration of this kind. and
the church authorities will live up
to it in good faith, giving the public
specific and ample illustrations in fact
Of its good faith, the situation will
be very much clarified in Utah. and
immigration will be invited and en-.
couraged in way otherwise quite i'm
