NOW FOR THE CAPIToLl

The opening gun in a new campaign
for the construction of State capitol
was fred in The Tribune Yesterday
morning. 1t was announced that Gov
crnor Spry is busy in furtherance of
the project, and hat he is interviewing
the heavy taxpayers in this city and
county, hoping TO get them in line for
the capitol building, SO that they will
support zealously the proposition for
The voting Of the necessary bonds at
the coming session of the Legislature.
And The Tribune heartily supports this
move. 1t is certainly most commend
able activity.
There is no question but that the con,
structIon of capitol building is one
of the Urgent necessities for this State.
The present quarters arc crampcd, not
adapted or adaptable to the purposes
FOR which they are now in use: /:
greater facilities are required in the
permanent, A. proof rcceptaclcs for the
archives of the State are an urgent
need.
Utah has been State now for six
teen years. 1t is seldom, indeed, that
State remains as long as that with
ont capitol building. In fact. it has
been usual for capitol TO be con-
structed even in the Territorial condi-
ton. Utah has so far neglected this
construction, But il is matter that

advantages, however, in the neglect thus
far, because in The lapse of time there
have been many improvements and use.
ful inventions, and all of these that
are desirable can be applied in the new
building, Architecture, also, has ad
vanccd in beauty and utility, and all
of the changes that have been made for
the better can he adapted to this public
building
The site for the proposed structure,
on Capitol hill, is one of the finest
owned by any State. The grounds are
conmodious; they are high above the
city, and beautiful capitol structure
there would seem to those who view it
from the valley as Il picture in the
clouds. II will behoovo the State
officers to provide such structure as
viii not only meet every practical
utility, but be vision OF beauty and
pride to the state us long as it shall
endure.
Utah is well able TO build such a
structure. 1t is, indeed, a necessity
of the times. 1t is beneath the dignity
of the State, and too great a risk from
the standpoint of safety and security
to rent quarters for the storing away
of Its records and the use and protec-
tlon of its archives. There is not the
least question about the necessity for
this structure. There is not the least
doubt but that it could be made to have
such striking architectural effects that
Utah would be as famous for the beauty
and architectural excellence of her
capitol as she is for the glory of her
scenery, the richness of her soil, and
the wealth of her mines.
The Legislature is about to meet
now is the time to act. We trust that
every loyal citizen of the State. in what
ever part of it he may live, will join !
heartily in the movement for beauti-
full, commodious, and we'll ell-designed
capitol, that will be of the utmost
beauty and utility to the State,

and usually at greater convenience to
The general public, than at Verna.
In other States, also. a consolidation
of land Offices would undoubtedly be in
the public interest. Arkansas, for in
stance, has three Offices where one would
suffice; California has eight, where two
at the most would do; Colorado has ten,
whereas four at the most would be
ample; Idaho has FIVE, but could very
we'll get along with three; Montana has
nine, where three would be ample; Ne
braska has six, but could easily get
along with two; Oregon, also, has six,
where two would answer every purpose !;
Washington has seven, and needs but
three; Wyoming has six, where three at
most would suffice. The field of econ
omy here is evidently unrcaped, and is
open to the most drastic retrenchment.
1t is evident that Commissioner Den"
nett has the right idea all through with
respect to the handling OF tho public
land, including, especially, the throw.

tion Of coal 1t is a scandal that the

A SOUND LAND OFFICIAL.

We note that the Hon. Fred bennett
Commissioner Of the General Land Of
fec, is strenuous in his report in urging
that means be found for the progress
and advancement Of the West He wants
the coal areas thrown open to produc
| tive effort, and while he is in favor OF
reasonable and practical conservation
he does not believe that that conserva
tion should he altogether for tho ben.
| eft of future generations. He thinks
and Justly so, that the people now llv
ing should be allowed to use the public
, resources that arc around about them,
precisely AS pioneers and settlers have
been allowed to do from the beginning
Of the Republic He wants new leg,s'
lation allowing the opening of coal
lands in Alaska, and, also, throughout
this western region. He recognizes,
evidently, that the monopolies already
established are fostered and enriched
by the policy of the Government which
forbids the use OF coal lands by any
which might come in competition with
the mines already opened. and run as
monopohes, He shows that the progress
of the West is being retarded under
the present reactionsry conditions, say
ing squarely that competition has
been checked, and that the consumer
is therefore obliged to pay a greater
price for coal than he ought TO pay, or
than he would pay if competition were
open under fair and reasonable rcstric-
tions.
All this is excellent doctrine, and
true, 1t is doctrine that The Tribune
has been urging upon the administra.
tion for years, 1t is good to see that
officialdom in Washington is waking up
to the facts, and realizing the evil ef-
fects of the forbidding policies here
tofore in operation. We trust that Mr.,
bennett S plea may be affective upon
Congress, to the end that the coal
measures all through this region, as well
as in Alaska, may be opened up to the
use of the people.
Commissioner bennett urges the con-
solidation of the land Offices, and the
dropping of those which are useless.
This, also, is good recommendation.
An instance where this curtailment
could be put into effect advantageously
is right here in Utah When the Uintah
reservation was opened for settlement,
Il land Office was established at Vernal
for the convenience of the prospective
flers upon the land thrown open to
entry. on the old Uintah reservation.
Whatever may have been thought
at the time as to the utility of this
measure, clearly there is no further need
of maintaining that land Office. Many
years ago, in view of the activity in
mining operations in Beaver county,
especially in and about Frisco and the
Star district, land office was opened
at Beaver But when the rush was
over, the land Office at Beaver was dis
continued, and its records were brought
to Salt Lake and merged into the rec
ords of the land Office here. The same
may now advantageously be done with
the land office at Vernal and the records
there. Everything now can be done
Just as well from the Salt Lake Office,

From this it appears that the County
surplus Of fees received 1t yielded
a revenue to the county Of S9443.S6.
The Sheriff s Office is getting more
and more burdensome every year to the
taxpayers. In the old days of payment
by fees, it was the rule that man
holding this Office for two terms could
retire at the end of the four years with
a competence. Now it appears that 1T
costs S3S, ,7S907 (including $4713.35 for
new automobiIe) to run the Office. And,
since only $sl43.4s was received by the
office in fees, the net cost to the county
of the Sheriff IS Office was s30,645.59.
The Recorder turned over to the
treasury fees amounting to $17,S79.05,
but it cost to run his Office $26,117,32,
net loss to the county of $S23S.27.
When it is remembered that the Re-
corder' IS Office was always one of the
big paying offices under the fee sys
tenn it is evident that there is some
thing radically wrong in the present
administration of that office. There
is an extravaganza beyond all prece
dent, and burden on the county that
ought not to be borne.
The County Treasurer collected fees
amounting to s39s530. but it cost sls,-
6l534 to run his Office, net loss to
the county of S14,63004, cost that
seems excessive.
The Auditor received fees amounting
to $2s5, but his Office cost the county
$541S60, net loss to the treasury
of S5193,60.
The Surveyors Office turned IN fees
amounting TO $35l.45, but it cost the
county $305S.90 to run that office, a net
loss Of $2707.45.
1t is evident that it would never do
to return to the fee system in the
running Of some of these larger Offices;
for no one could afford to take them
No one would want to be Sheriff, if
it cost him upwards of 100000 a year
to run his Office above the fees that he
received. No one would want to be
Recorder at a net loss Of almost SIS,
600 annually, No one would want to be
County Surveyor, if he had to pay out
Of his ogn pocket $270o to maintain
his office. 1t would, therefore, deprive
the county of the valuable services of
everyone but very rich men, if the
old fee systom of paying these officers
were to be reinstated IL is a ealam-
ity that could not well be faced by the
public; for it is essential to have these
Offices filed and they should not all
ways be reserved for the richest men
in the community, who alone could af-
ford to take them under the fec sys-
tenn.
Seriously speaking, however, this
showing makes an exceedingly strong
arraigument against the method of con
Quoting our county affairs. 1t was ar
gued when the salary system was sub
stituted for the fee system of paying
these officers, that the public could not
lose; because the fees exacted for the
work required of the officials would be
ample, and moro than ample, to pay the
salaries and costs of the Offices. That
looked like good argument. But
practical fest has proved quite the re-
verse; and 1T proves, also, that there

MR.. MORGAN AT TAX OFFICE
Has Assessment Lowered, but
Must Pay on S550,000.

J. Pierpont Morgan appeared per
llv at the Tax Department yester-
day 10 ask for a reduction in his per-
sonai assessment. For several years he
has been assessed on 100000 Of per-
soma property and has never made any
protest. This year many personal as
sessments were doubled and Mr.. Nor
gan's was placed at Ss00,U00.
When Mr. Morgan reached the Tax
Department yesterday he was directed
to the Office of Commissioner Kaufman
who took his statement.
Mr.. kaufman went over the state
m ITS presented by Mr.. Morgan. and
discovered that all Of the taxable per
sonal assets of the banker were Offset by
liabilities. with the exception Of S0oO.OOO
in bonds, which, not having been reg
istered with the State Controller under a
recent law. could not be offset Mr..
Morgan's assessment was, therefore, re-
duced from SsO0,0OO to S55OOOO.
