At least, it would not take us long to
convince them that they are unreas-
enable in their rates. We are discrim-
mated against and we are not at all
sure that there is not relief from the
hands of the Interstate Commerce
Commission. We could at least first
try to get relief from the railroads
themselves, asking them earnestly and
insistently for better rates, and failing
in that, to seek redress elsewhere.
We believe it possible to get com.

and they can hardly pay current ex.
penses. To relieve the situation, they
called a meeting of the people who
promptly told them to go ahead and
tax, but to leave their hands off the
bonding question. With 100000 over
draft, the banks denying further re.
lief work practically at standstill,
the people tell the commissioners to
wait until next fall and then tax for
about $4,000 additional which will
serve to relieve the present situation
and clarity the finances of the com.
missioners! Such was the fiasco.
Not a voice was raised to point out
this thing, so far as we were able to
determine, so the clamoring went on
and nothing was done. Whether to
bond or to tax is really immaterial;
but to put powder into the guns of the
commissioners is certainly absolutely
essential. If the people will stand for
tax sufficient to raise funds for the
construction of good roads, it will be
far better than bonding. But it is
folly to continue building the kind of
roads now being built. If Logan PEG.
pie would turn out and fight for the
interests of good roads as staunchly
as its enemies fight against them; we
believe the skeptical will be con
WINGED and good roads will result.
The situation seems to be, now:
the commissioners have no funds, no
power to increase the present tax, and
no people to back them. Why couldn't
some one have insisted that the real
situation was not being met?

it takes as large a stream to water

sidered worth $4,000. The assess

Mr.. Stakeholder is basing his troubles
upon wrong idea and as such he
should go to some one of the seven
teen directors of the new company
and get the information necessary to
set him right. The new organization
has several objects in view. One is
to increase the value of the water
right owned by every stakeholder
Another is to take over and market
stock that Is owned by those who do
not own land and sell 1t to those who
do own land and need the water An.
other object Is to maintain the capa-
city Of the canal and insure water to
all those who may need the water
and thus would be glad to purchase
the water If they could be insured
the water which they purchase. An
other object is to raise sufficient
money from sale of water rights to
redeem the bonds upon the canal that
the people who now own stock in the
canal may indeed become the real
owners of the canal. Up to the present
time there has been no money laid
aside for the purpose Of redeeming
the bonds, nor has there been any
plan laid by which the bonds might
be paid when due. Every movement

man or firm who in any way makes
use of his or its influence against the

opposes the new company's efforts

tions, and If you will dig down deep
you will find what | say to be correct.
We want the canal to belong to the
stockholders. We want It to answer
the purpose for which it was built.
We want it to furnish the water to

CRYING BABIES.

A mother and child together is one
OF the beautiful sights of life. Nothing
is more sacred to the hearts of Chris
tian people than the child in the arms
of the mother. There is something holy
and pure and true about the picture
thus presented. But as beautiful as is
the picture it is too often abused, The
child should be smiling and playful,
and not so cross and disagreeable that
1t will give everybody about it dis
heartening groans. And above all
things, such an episode should not
happen in a public meeting where
people have met to listen to import.

RAIN AND CHILDREN.

The other morning, while drizzlint
rain made everybody along The sire p
surly and uncomfortable, little, frail
bareheadod slip of girl shivered
along to market. Shc was not badly
clad. but Just comfortably so, such as
many a wellcond,tioned mans child
would be Her brown hair lay in long
wet mats over her cold loking face
and head, and she had the appearance
of having trayc ed some distance
through the January rain.
AS the time of day warranted us to
think her proper place was in school,
we naturally fell to contemplating;
and two things came uppermost into
our thoughts. First, there was a
child who would very likely go home
chilled through, with the result that
only day or so afterwards she would
be down sick. Then the parents would
naturally wonder "how on earth Bes-
sic came to be ailing." But she would
go along to school, NOPE over her
studies and finally be forced to go
home at recess, too sick to continue
longer at her tasks.
In the second place, perhaps, at her
home father or two or three broth
ers stretched their rest-tired limbs
while this pitiful object dragged
through the rain to market. Why, in
common sense, could not a parent
see to it that his little girl was in
school, where she ought to be, in
stead of in that rain, every drop of
which was like pounding a nail into
her coffin? Why couldn't those men
run errands?
How very often do parents send
their children, unprotected, on un.
errands,, instead of to
school! How almost as often do par.
ents allow their children to be ex.
posed to the hardships of Indictment
weather, and then wonder why the
little one becomes sick! 1t can be
likewise pointed out that the most
trivial of excuses very often keep
children from school, much to their
1etrlment even to wrecking their |
school career. That little girl in the
rain, the other day, ought to have
been in school, and the parents round. |
ly scorched for neglecting the health
and education of their offspring.

APPROPRIATE GARMENTS.

recourse to pun to save his temper.

ENDANGERING THE LIVES OF
THOUSANDS.

To endanger the lives of thousands
of people is most serious offense,
and yet that it what is done in the
Tabernacle at nearly every confer
ence. Sunday afternoon saw the hall
packed to the doors, the windows used
as seats, the stands filled in with ex.
ira chairs, and the aisles tightly block.
ed with long benches. Nearly three
thousand people jammed that hall to
hear the important proceedings. And
If fire had started, there would have
been a fearful tale to tell The crush
OF people in a mad frenzy to get out
of that aisle-obstructed hall would
have been appalling.
Section AS of the ordinance, of Lo-
gan includes the following referring
to public halls of any nature: Its
passages shall be so constructed as
to allow twenty.four inches width for
every one hundred people such build.
ing is capable of seating. All aisles
ana passages in a building used for
public assemblies shall be kept free
from chairs, stools, sofas, benches
and other distractions during any
performance, service, exhibition, con,
cert, lecture, on any public assembly
The law therefore, of the city is
specifically against the practice OF
dragging in long benches into the
Tabernacle aisles for people to crowd
onto and so obstruct the passage WAYS
as to render the building exceedingly
dangerous to thousands of people
The church authorities should see tc
it that enough room is provided for
the crowds seeking a place for those
meetings, or they should absolutely
prohibit the obstruction of the aisles
contrary to city ordinances and public
safety. We spoke of this mater fol
lowing the previous conference, urg
ing that the public be better protected
We again ask that no further viola
lions be made Of municipal laws. If
people cannot be seated, deny them
the privilege of blocking every avenue
of escape in case a fire should break
out.

THE NEW STAKE PRESIDENCY

We hasten to congratulate the peo
pie of Cache upon the splendid per
sonnet of the new Cache stake presi
dency. Serge f. Ballif is an indefatig
able worker, an earnest and enthus
iastic leader, and man devoted to
the service of his church. The same
can be said of his two councillors, o.
H. Bulge and Joseph Quincy, Jr., for
they are young men who have proved
themselves in the world in accomplish.
ing the uplift of the people, the bet
terment of them morally and spiritu-
ally. May their hands be upheld by all
good people, and their work approved
by all sinners, that the interests of
Cache stake may go forward and up
ward and never deteriorate in quality
and righteousness.
For the outgoing presidency we
have nothing but good wishes, hearty
praise and high esteem for the work
they have accomplished in the five
years of their service Isaac Smith
has long been a servant of the people,
performing his lot in life with as much
zeal and enthusiasm as lay in his
power to exercise, in a similar way
we can speak of his councillors, New.
81 w. Kimball and Joseph Il. Carbon.
Our wishes are for their long service
in this land, that they may always be
found ready to do what they can for
the success of the people.
The interests of the stake demand
the attention of the stake presidency
all the time. Theirs is a difficult task.
Like any other public positions the
office has critics on every hand TO
knock the men who have the reins
of control AS public servants, the
new presidency will be open to the
attack of those people who think II
their duty in life to pick to pieces.
Right now the time for gossips is ripe.
If there ever was a particle of
scandal even remotely connected with
the names of these honorable men,
who are not without their Weaknesses,
the gossips will parade the matter in
due fashion. 1t is the duty of every
good citizen to stop the mouths of
these gossipers, to turn the thoughts
OF men to the work in hand and to
make the Cache Stake presidency
know they have the support of the
people, even moTeso than the hearty
vote at the Tabernacle indicated. Sue.

THE APATHY OF LOGAN BUSI.
NESS MEN.

In the action of the meeting at the
Commercial Boosters club the other
day, that met to consider the matter
of bonding the county for suitable
roads, one thing was pitifully evident.

are most interested in the outcome of
the fight remained away while the
outside man came loaded for bear.
The people who are paying nearly one
half the tax were not represented

rors Of bonding, the grand principle
Of paying as you go, the efficiency OF
good roads, slavery to debt; every
phase but one was touched upon in
some way. Yet that one phase was the
