FIRE INSURANCE RATES.

The letter from Mayor Park 10 the
Secretary Of the Board Of Fire Under
writer's in this city asking for re-
ductiou in insurance rates here, is a
strong presentation OF facts and logical
reasons.
First of all, we may say, we have
never had any great conha grafton in
Salt Lake City. There have been de-
structive fires, to be sure, but in every
case the fire has been confined to the
building attacked, and, as we say, there
has been no sweeping conhagration de-
stroying whole blocks or sections of the
city, as in SO many other cities In
San Francisco, which few years ago
was practically destroyed by earth
quake and FIRE, there has recently been
reduction of % per cent IN the insur-
snce rates. But Salt Lake City has
been a source Of rich profit all the time
to the insurance companies, with com
paratively little demand upon them for
the payment of fire losses.
Mayor Park shows that the water
supply Of this city has been so largely
added to that there is no further cause

WHY DOFF THE HAITI

Judge Alton B. Parker, the Demo.
cratic candidate for President in 1904,
sends word to the country that he dofTs
his hat and apologies to Mcssrs Thom-
as i. Ryan aud August Belmont be-
cause of the abuse he heaped upou rich
men III the campaign of 1904 for con.
tributiUg so heavily to the Roosevelt
campaign fund at that lime. II seems
that Judge Parker was uuder the i'm
preston that Roosevelt got all of the
money contributed by the very rich
mon, but from the recent testimony
before the Senate Committee it appears
that Mr.. Ryan gave sA50,000 to the Dem
ocratic campaign fund that year and
Mr.. Belmont gave s15o.0o0. They gave
this money without the least hope OF
their party winning. but in order that
the party might be held together. Judge
Parker did not know OF this, it seems,
until the testimony Just made public
was given. And now he makes a pub
lie apology to these gentlemen and
doffs his hat to them
- &c NV SNSN w cCGg hOncNGiS why
Judge Parker should do TINS; for his
great complaint WAS that the coutribu-
tious of immense sums or money by
:. interests corrupted the electorate
and was IN the nature of treason to
the people. If he was sincere in thus
denouncing the great contributions
made to the Roosevelt campaie: fund
in 1904, how does ii come that he is so
pleased to hear about the immense con-
tributious made by Messrs. Ryan and
Belmont to the Democratic campaign
fund.- Is it any less Objectionable for
au Immensely wealthy man to contri
butte his mouey TO the Democratic cam
paign fund than TO the Republican cam
paign fund. If so, where is the diff
| ference7 II in one case the electorate
is corrupted and honest politics de-
bauched. why does not the same result
follow IN the other case9
Judge Parker has certainly shown AL

censurable from the judicial side, fol
