PUBLIC ESTIMATES APPROVED.

We see that the Park Commission of
this city has been apportioned $41 900
for its work the present year, the
amount which it asked for in It's recent
report, which was commended by The
Tribune. We believe that this com
mission is doing excellent work for the
city, and that its expenditures have
been economical and have yielded a
maximum Of benefit in comparison with
the cost. We are therefore glad to see
it get It's needed money.
Other allowances made were, as to
the street department.. s1s3 600; to the
engineering department. 100000. These
allowances were, also, made on a good
showing and reasonable basis
The work of the city is in good hands
all around; and we are glad to see
that the administration is disposed to
keep on in the splendid work of public
improvements, Of establishment and OF

inhabitants and the admiration of all
visitors, That is exactly what the peo-
pie want, and what they are willing ia

the person who has the highest number
of votes the nomination as the party
choice, even though that vote may be
much less than majority. But if a
plurality vote is TO govern, why not
let it govern In the Legislature as well
as before the people? In that case,
the person receiving the highest mum
ber Of votes in the Legislature would
be elected Senator, just as the person
receiving the highest number of votes
at primary election would be allowed
to bc The party choice, But tho fact
that candidate receiving the plural
ity, but not the majority, does not bind
the party has been we'll illustrated IN
Illinois. in Wisconsin, and in other
States. I'm such cases the Legislators

of any one candidate still represent

elections, any more than there was be

have primary election effective, a
second primary should be held after
the first, eliminating all but the two
leading candidates, and then let the
party voters decide as between the two.
Otherwise, nothing is binding, nothing
is settled; and, in fact, nothing ought
to be binding or settled except by the
majority vote of the party.
1t is different. of course, in such a
case as Oregon. where the people vote
as between two candidates selected by
the leading parties, either in conven-
tion or by primary, In the Oregon
case the question was squarely between
a Democratic candidate and the Repub-
the majority to Mr.. Chamberlain, the
Democrat, and the Republican Legisla-
turc elected him accordingly. That is
proper where that is the law. But the
ordinary primary. where the minority
candidates struggle and reach for n pre-
ferment that the people have not given
them, simply adds confusion to the un-
certainty which existed Heretofore,
But these Senatorial scraps are Ger.
tainly not edifylng to the people, nor
are they calculated to bring admiration
for popular government. There ought
to be some settled, definite way Of Sc,
Letting party candidates, so that these
nasty scraps in the Legislature might
be avoided.

THE LIMITATION ON SALOONS.

The Tribune is inclined TO agree with
the purpose of Councilman Mckinney S
resolution. adopted III the Council on
Monday night. limiting the number Of
saloons in this city to one hundred. Of
course. that resolution does not CON
template the immediate scaling down
of the number of saloons TO that figure.
But it does contemplate that when
a saloon license is forfeited another
shall not he granted until the limit OF
one hundred has been reached, and
vacancy is opened TO make up the mum
Der. One hundred saloons in this city
would mean saloon TO "A little less
than a thousand inhabitants, 1t seems
10 us that that is Il fair ratio, and II
offers opportunity enough for liquor
selling.
Under the construction Of the law by
the Supreme Court of the State, the
Council is supreme in this matter. 1T
is empowered TO grant or withhold. to
limit not only as to number, but as to
locality, the saloon business. Under
tUlo lIiClbl lhS 'ouuN'i hio "N'eN IL
adopting the Mckinney resolution.
We believe, further, that when the
number of saloons is reduced to one
hundred. the limitation on the number
will add materially to the case of super
vision and orderly. lawful conduct and
strict regulation Of the saloon business.
For, with the number of saloons thus
limited. the license will take on a value
intrinsic IN itself. IT Will be not only
license TO sell liquor under the regu-
Iations, but it will amount to special
privilege that will have special value.
And one holding such license will be
at far more than ordinary pains to
keep within the law, so as to avoid all
possible forfeiture,
And so. we think the move is wise
one, in the interest of good regulation
and orderly procedure. We think, also,
that it will have additional value TO
the city as affording an opportunity in
the near future 10 obtain increased rev
enue from the saloons, this by the con
currence of the saloon men themselves,
since a license where only one hun
dred can be granted is of considerably
more value than one where an unlimited
number is at the disposal Of the council.
The report that the Mayor intends to
veto the council S action need not dis
may that body; for, if il wants to stick
TO the limitation it can do so, the veto
10 the contrary notwithstanding.

THE MOVE FOR THE CAPITOL.

The movement for the state capitol
building takes on moro definite form
with the bin introduced on Monday by
Senator Marks. This bill goes into de-
tails in regard to the issue OF bonds,
and the raising of the money for the
necessary structure.
There will be available. if this bond
issue is authorized, the sum of Sl,olo,-
900 TO begin with. The proposed bond
issue is 81 .895 900 1t will be easy TO
adopt a plan of structure which viii
admit Of putting up n building suih'
cicnt for the present, but which can
be added to in future years as need
arises, and still preserve the symmetry
of architectural lines and beauty. The
Tribune earnestly hopes that tho
measure for the proposed capitol build
ing will be pushed forward in the
Legislature without delay or obstrnc-
ton AS has been frequently observed,
Utah is about the only State IN the
Union that lacks capitol building In
fact, so far as we know, ii is the only
one And vet, it is among the richest
Of the States in natural resources, and
stands well up in available financial
ability.
AS to the structure itself, the plans
adopted by the commission proposed In
the bill will be the ones that Will be
followed. We may venture the sug'
gestion, however, that for symmetry,
proportion, and everything that goes to
make beautiful building, both pic
torially and architecturally, we do not
bell We that much improvement on our
Joint city and county building could
be had Let us imagine that building
lust AS il is, transferred TO the capitol
site. What vision of beauty 1t
would be! But if this is agreed to,
then what better could we do than to
adopt the same architectural plans,
modifying the inner divisions of rooms,
so as to suit the State Capitol require
mcnts! Every one admires the big Joint
building; and every one comedies that
IT was put up al minimum Of cost
something less than a million dollars
The capitol building, TO be sure, will re
quire different treatment inside, and
would need 6reproof vaults TO much
greater extent than are provided In
the Joint building. But nothing better
could be imagined than a building OF
the same style, and, in fact, of identical
outline, on Capitol Hill than the joint
building which We have on the old
Emigration Square.
But if not that building exactly, then
one very similar to it should be adopted
for the capitol structure. For it shows
well, it IS symmetrical, it is beautiful
in outline and appearance, and 1t al
fords ample room for the housing OF
the State business for generations tc
come Nothing better could happen tc
Utah than to have duplicate of the
Joint building put up on Capitol Hill.

SENATORIAL SCRAPS.

II is not edifying TO read the ac-

fereut States over the election of a

Gus in this deadlock business, so is
Iowa, so is Montana, and so are some
OF the other States.

Senators shall be selected by vote of
the people IN the States where Sen
ators are to be elected. may be a cure
and may not 1t certainly is not cure

cided by plurality vote; that is, giving

REDUCTION IN CITY TAX.

The statement of Mayor Bransford
that he thought the city tax Of Salt
Lake could be reduced two mills this
year as compared with last, putting it
back to thirteen mills, is resented by
the Smoot organ very much as a per
sonal or political affront. 1t states that
Salt Lake City is taX-ridden, and claims
that Tammany. when it elected Gaynor
to be Mayor Of Greater New York in
1909, pointed to Salt Lake City as an
overtaxed town, excusing its own high
tax levies by Salt Lake IS example. 1t
did not point to Provo, which is much
worse tax-ridden town so far as city
taxes arc concerned than Salt Lake;
and it is in the hands of "the breth-
rem too.
With regard to the overtaxing OF
Salt Lake. undoubtedly the chief blame
for that rests in the generalization of
city property as compared with prop
erty in the county and in the State at
large. High taxes on business prop
erty are always an oppression on the
community. But what makes the high
taxes on business property? Manifest
y, the generalization of such property
AS compared with the property through
out the State. Governor Spry was quite
right in his statement before legisla-
tive committee the other day, when he
said that the assessors throughout the
State are willfully lawless in fixing
their valuations so as to defraud the
State of large amounts of money that
ought 10 be paid on property generally.
There is no doubt but that property
in Salt Lake is assessed at rate that
averages double in proportion to its
market value, as compared with prop
erty in other places In the State. That
is what makes taxation in Salt Lake
City so very high. When property here
is assessed at double the rate adopted
elsewhere. and the State tax, the county
tax. the school tax, the municipal tax,
the library tax, and all other taxation,
are applied on that excess valuation
then the padded valuation becomes op-
pressive. There is no doubt, rs Cover
nor Spry says, that with Just system
of equalization and compulsion upon the
assessors to do their duty everywhere
the State would derive more revenue
than it does now, without undue exac-
tions upon any property owner within
its borders.
But it is evident from the malicious
and mean-spirited insiuuations of the
Smoot paper, where it intimates all
sorts of rascality and trickery on the
part of the city administration, that it
i is touched In a tender spot and is very
much afraid that some of its political
schemes will be interfered with by the
Mayors programme Of tax reduction.
1t insinuates other and ulterior means
of raising money, although. of course.
there are no such; and makes its com
ment as depraved and vicious as de.
praved, vicious mind can possibly do.
The Smoot organ, however, is So thor.
oughly discredited that its rant amounts
TO nothing, except as an exposure OF
| ifs own InalpVOlonce and cha aor;r
