We note that the statement fails
to give any receipts by the company
from Utah save only upon premiums
received during the year 1911. From
the investments of the company In
Utah totaline upwards of S6,000,000,
there must be large receipts on inter

the average to FIVE per cent, we would
have in receipts by this company a
total of upwards Of 100000, making
with the amount of premiums received
an income from this State aggre-
eating practically 100000 during the
year 1911 Inasmuch as the statement
given TO us does not include the re-

would be fair for us to assume that
the $500. .S54.47 received in premiums

We commend this company and other
companies unreservedly for investing
so much of their surplus in Utah and
for making such heavy loans on poll.

THE APACHE PRECEDENT,

The news from Mexico is very omi
nous. If the alleged threat made by
the rebel leaders that all American:
within reach of the rebel forces in
Mexico will be killed if the United
States does not intervene in their be
half is to be made good, this will
create sharp situation which will
call for instant action.
A number OF years ago, when the
Apache raids were frequent and mur.
derous, an accommodation was reached
between the United States government
and the Government of Mexico, where.
by troops Of either country on the
trail of an Apache band Of murderers
should pursue that band whether the
trail led across the border or not.
In pursuance of that agreement, Unit.
ed States forces followed the Apachcs
diligently into the Mexican mountains
and finally compelled their surrender
Likewise under that agreement the
Mexican troops were at liberty to fol"
low murderous Apache bands within
the boundaries of the United States
AS matter of fact. the latter did
not occur. but it could have occurred
under the agreement.
Now, If the Mexican rebels trans
form themselves into murderous bands
as the Apaches, which they would nee
essarily do if they carry out their
threats, that old agreement ought to
be resuscitated, and the Mexican gov
ernment should agree that the United
States forces should follow up such
rebel bands and capture or cxtermi-
nate them wherever found This would
not be intervention any more than
the former accommodation was inter
vention whereby the United States
troops followed the Apache bands over
the border and into the Mexican noun
tains.
Clearly, if the rebel forces do, in
fact, enter upon a war Of slaughter
against the Americans, that old agree
ment ought to be revived instantly. and
a sufficient body of United States
troops 10 make the agreement effect
i've, should be assembled at once upon
the border ready to advance whenever
ordered. So far as we can see that
is the only remedy that is available
to the United States; for intervention
against the Will and in opposition to
the desire OF the Mexican Government
will clearly lead to worse evils than
it could possibly cure; but the revival
Of the old Apache agreement will be
quite in accord with precedent, and
will allow of the United States pro-
tectlng its own citizens in Northern
Mexico, with the consent and concur
renee of the Mexican Government.
We should be glad to hear that stems
have already been taken to revive that
Apache agreement. for it appears as
though it might be needed at almost
any moment

THE TRIBUNE NOT NIBBLING.

| We are somewhat surprised to see
that the Ogden Standard considers The
Tribune as waiting for an invitation
to take the lead in the Progressive
movement in Utah. Whenever The
Tribune wishes to take part in any
movement, it needs no invitation there.

said heretofore, the Progressive move.
ment, Nationally considered, hinges al
| together upon the personality of Colonel
| Roosevelt, and Colonel Roosevelt as a
candidate for President, is quite i'm.
possible.
The Tribune is not giving any half
hearted allegiance to President Taft.
1t is supporting him heartily and
strongly. 1t has not the least idea of
changing its course in this matter, and
above all, it is out OF the question to
| change to Colonel Roosevelt, whom we
consider dangerous man, the most un-
scrupulous demagogue that this Nation
has ever produced.

The Tribune recognizes fully the right
of those who are organizing and work
ing up its strength TO take snch action.
We think that the State needs the
renovating force of new party, one
that would break up the old ring, smash
the old machine, and send into retire
ment the old political bosses who have
done so much here TO degrade politics,
10 ruin the good repute of Utah. and
to guide the church into its disrepu.
table alliance with the saloon element
that was consummated and worked
for all it was worth, and more too,
four years ago. All who bad part in
that degraded transaction should be
banished to the resr of Utah politics,
and kept there. The Federal bunch,
which was primarily responsible for
that shameless transaction, is still the
dominating force in the bogus Repub.
hcan party of Utah. This bunch has
been unscrupulous, arrogant, oppressive
insolent. and utterly contemptuous OF
the rights of the people of Utah in
their public affairs. 1t acts dishonest

TIE NEW RAILROAD.

The Tribune is delighted to be able
to present, as it did Yesterday morn
ing. the outline of the scheme for the
construction in Utah of the extension
of the road heretofore known as the
Moffat road into Utah. That road is
completed from Denver TO Steamboat
Springs. Recently it was sold to in
strong and which appeared determined
to put the road through.
The organized company known as
the Provo & Eastern Utah Railway
will finance and construct the Utah
portion of that road. The construc-
tiou will include not only the road it.
self, but also vast irrigation and
power plant on the Green river The
irrigation schedules included in this
project will reclaim 100000 acres Of
productive land now barren and the
electric power that can be generated by
the water power Will serve ali north
eastern Utah.
The scheme is comprehensive one,
it is a feasible one, and its profitable
results are in no wise uncertain,
The Tribune welcomes this new de-
velopment with Joy and satisfaction.
1t trusts that the promoters will find
no backsets, and ii is certain that they
will receive all possible encouragement
from Utah and from the people in all
parts of the State which the huge
enterprise will serve.

son g time. He affirms that there is
no other place in this country that is
so beautiful, and says: ''I am not
boasting when L declare that the
White House is not better cared for
or in better state of preservation
than is Monticello. He admitted,
| however, that the grave is not prop
erlv kept mp. He stated that for sem
| tImental reasons he has in the past
| left the care of the grave largely to
the Randolph descendants of Mr.. JEFF
fcrson. ''They have not cared for it
as they should. and all the while l
have been called upon to contribute
TO its preservation Mr.. Levy ocn~
tinues: "Mv only reason for not do
ing moro was that this family claimed
the right to keep up the grave, and |
did not care to intrude -
After giving a history of the estate
and of the care of the tomb, Mr.. Levy
stated that he is now determined to
undertake to preserve the grave in the
same manner that he does the remain
ing property Of Monticello.
And so the movement to purchase
Monticello as National memorial has
failed for the present, Apparently the
resentment of the owner, Mr., Levy, at
the aspersions cast upon him as ap-
parently responsible for the i'll condi.
tion of Jefferson s tomb. which bad
condition, it appears, he is not respon-
sible for, stops the move. But as to
those parts of the estate which he is
responsible for, he has kept them up IN
splendid style. so admirably indeed,
that several years ago when it was
determined to make alterations and re-
pairs to the White House, '1the archi-
tects visited Monticello to inspect that
house and gain ideas for their work "
II may be fairly presumed, however,
that the requirement of this memorial
is merely postponed, and not defeated,
Perhaps with little more considera~
tlon on the part of those who urge the
purchase of Monticello, Mr.. Levy
might be induced to sell it to the Gov
ernment as cherished memorial and
possession. But whether so OF not,
doubtless in the enrolling of the years
the popular desire will prevail, and
Monticello will become the property
of the Nation.

AN INSURANCE REPORT.

We have recently discussed in a
general way the statement Of the life
insurance companies on their payments
on losses in Utah, and presented the
general summary of the disbursements
On losses that have been made by those
companies in this State We criticized
that statement because it docs not

the companies from their premiums and
other ipcome sources in this State, hold
ing that until this is done there is but
one side of the ledger presented; and
In order for the public TO understand
the effect of the insurance business in
this State ii is necessary to know not
only what the insurance companies paw
back on insurance account in the State,
but also the revenue which those COM
panies receive from the people of Utah,
on all accounts.

THE ORGAN DISCONNECTED

The Smoot organ appears to be mucl
disconnected over the present situation
in Utah. It disputes the proposition
stated by us that "if President Taft
carries Utah ii Will be because The
Tribune supports him and not because
of the vicious, interested, arrogant
base, pie-counter support rendered hin
by the organ of the Federal bunch.
This statement, of course. was meant
as a comparison between the effective
ness of the support of the Smoot or.
gan and of The Tribune; for without
The Tribune S support, President Taft
would not carry Utah. We believe
that he will carry the State, in spite
of the evil, interested, and Office. seek,

In speaking generally Of the situa.

the fact that there is power here

politics, 1t has generally acted here
tofore, and its action has been malign.

dards Of American political and civil
life. We understand that this iuilu-
ence will be for Taft this year. so
far as it is exerted. If it is exerted
to the full strength, Of course, that
influence would be decisive.
The organ proceeds TO rail at The
Tribune's success in helping on the
triumphs of the American party in
this city, and it argues from these
successes that The Tribune counts for
nothing in the political field in Utah.
We are quite content with the record
and the influence of The Tribune in
Utah. If the organ is discontented
with that influence, it shows anew that
it does not agree. with The Tribune,
which is fortunate for us, for we are
as proud of the enemies we have
made in this respect as we are OF the
