BUSINESS AND TRADE.

The past week has given us ideal winter
weather and the trade of the city has
benefited correspondingly. The mer-
chants have enjoyed holiday trade
far beyond any record Of the past, and
are pushing their sales in way that
is effective and profitable. Cash sales
are a high percentage, Collections are
unusually good. "Christmas shop
ping" is at it height, and the grand
rush will finish within the next two
days.
In the real estate business, dealers
report the best December IN the history
of Salt Lake. December is usually q
dull month, and the realty men expires:
themselves intensely gratified over
present conditions. Never before ha.
the demand for houses to rent in thi:
month been greater, and this is un
doubtedly caused by the large influx u
this city Of miners and stockmen whC
make their winter homes in Salt Lake
In spite of all the building that ha'
been done, and an enormous amoun
Of it has been done the present year
there is still press for room. II i
stated that at least 90 per cent o
those who desire to rent are new
comers, and many former residents are
also returning TO the city, finding thi
to be a better locality than any the,
can find elsewhere, By practical IN
quiry and demonstration they hav
found that Salt Lake is about the bes
place after all. An estimate is tina
within the last ninety days fully 100
people have moved into the city an'
have either rented or are seekin:
| homes.
The realty dealers are optimistic o,
the general situation. Many big deal
in the real estate line are under nego
tiation. Inquiries pour iu daily, an
while several big transactions may no
be completed until after tho first 0

UNION PACIFIC HEADQUARTERS,

The move made by the Commercial
Club of this city TO have the Union
Pacific headquarters moved from Oma-
ha To Salt Lake is in the direct limo OF
economy and efficiency. The natural
and appropriate thing to do now that
the Union Pacific has been segregated
by order of the l.. s. Supreme Court
from the Southern Pacific, is to make
Salt Lake City the headquarters OF
The new Union Pacific solidiGed system.
The new combination Will include the
Union Pacific line proper from Omaha
TO Ogden. the Oregon Short Line 10
Portland and to Butte with the Idaho
branches and spurs. the old Central
Pacific from Ogden to San Francisco
and the Short Line interest in the
Salt Lake Route between this city
and Los Angeles. To name these diff
fercnt lines is TO designate Salt Lake
as the natural center and headquarters
for the combined system. And the
appropriateness of making Salt Lake
City the place for the headquarters
Of this railway system is evident to
any one who will look into the ques.
tion at all.
Besides this, the incorporation OF the
Union Pacific and OF the Oregon Short
Line is here The annual meetings
must be held here; and so far as the
official organization is concerned the
home is already here. It only needs
the transfer of the actual operating
headquarters to make this completely
the home of the Union Pacific system.
We wish, therefore TO second as
earnestly and forcibly as possible, TINS
recommendation of the Commercial
Club, and hope that the suggested
move will be pushed with all the pow
er of the club, and that the Union
Pacific management will see the pro-
priety as we'll rs the practical advan-
tage OF making this change.

HOW TO SETTLE 1T.

Ii was n mild bomb shell that ex-
ploded in the opening session OF the
American Society for the Judicial Set
tlement of International Disputes, IN
Washington, on Friday evening, when
Everett F. Wheeler sprung the propo'
sition to arbitrate the Panama canal
controversy Of course, there Is no
controversy whatever with regard to
the Panama canal The right Of the
United States to complete jurisdiction,
administration. and control 10 the
Panama zone and canal is disputed by
none. except some faddists and theo-
rists. with an occasional heavyweight
like Senator Root of New York, who is
curiously wrong on this quesuon
through some twist of mind that no one
can understand.
The fact that there is no possible
place where the United States could
arbitrate this dispute is another reason
why there can be no such arbitration,
for every nation of Europe would De
glad TO insist on its right to free Fan
ANA canal use if the United States
grants free tolls to its coastwise YES
sells; and so the possibility OF getting 4
lust award would be extremely remote
In submitting our case to any trlounaI
whose membership is composed OF rep
resentatives of peoples who would be
glad to impose on this country In this
particular. we would be giving away
our own jurisdiction.
Besides all that, the extension Of free
tolls TO our coastwise vessels has nc
relation to foreign commerce or the
tolls on foreign ships, since no other
nation is permitted, and never ha>
been permitted, to take part IN oul
Goa stwise trade. So that the demand
for arbitration on this point is simply
demand that we shall opon up oul
own domestic affairs for settlement oS
some foreign tribunal.
1t is noteworthy that the Suggestion
was made in that meeting for the de
Gliding of this question by the u ,
Supreme Court a ruling and decision
on the case could probably be hac
from that court In some form, provided
case could be made, and q declslol
Of that court would be respected b.
the people OF the United States, an'
ought TO be accepted by any nation a
conclusive; because the Supreme Cour
of the United States is tribunal 81
august, so dignified, so impartial an'
austere in It's treatment of questions
that there is never the slightest sus
picion thrown upon its rulings or Judg
ments. If there should be any sucl
thing as arbitration or test OF tn
law passed by Congress with respect +
Panama canal tolls, let that test b
made in the Supreme Court Of til
United States, and nowhere else.

AN ANGRY GOVERNOR.

The actions Of three Governors of
States in this Union arc Just now at.
tracing good deal of editorial COM
ment. First we have the erratic and
anarchistic Governor Blease OF South
Carolina, who denouDces the Constitu-
tion Of the United States and declares
his Pronunciation of his oath OF office
so far as the mobbing Of negroes is
concerned. To be sure, he specifies
the one unnameablc offense on the
part Of the negroes as the justifica
tion for their lynching, but as mat.
ter of fact the IynchiDg is pretty sure
to follow any offcnso whatever com
mitted by a negro, and often negroes
are lynched who have been guilty Of
no offense at all.
| Then there is the case OF Governor
West Of Oregon, who refused TO allow
men sentenced 10 death to suffer that
death, because he personally was
opposed to capital punishment. Ac.
cordingly, ho caused the question to
be submitted TO the voters of Oregon
at tho November election, and the vote
was tremendously in favor of retaining
the death penalty. Thereupon Gov
eruor West ordered the hanging of
four men on one day "bccause he wish.
ed his State TO have black Friday"
There was viDdictiveness and animosity
against the voters OF Oregon in this
spectacular action of Governor West
1t is to be noted also that Governor
West has put into effect in Oregon q
system of ''honor treatment" for
convicts which has been effective in
large degree in emptying the State s
prison of offenders who took advantage
of the latitude extended TO them under
their "word Of honor" and have de
camped. Under this honor system il
is stated that II IL per cent, or more
than one in six, have disappeared.
The third Governor to bc discussed
is Governor Donaghey of Arkansas
who has pardoDed $40 convicts because
Of the conditions under which those
convicts arc held. lie has tried il
vain TO get the Legislature to correct
the abuses of the leasing of prison
labor, and finally felt compelled {,
pardon by wholesale in order TO break
up the iuhuman and oppressive system
The Governor explains that ''undel
the leasing system the Arkansas peni
tentiary is burning. seethiug hell
consuming human beings who arc
being put into il in manner which
results in nothing but making fortunes
for contractors. Governor Dona
ghey further says that "sll those wh'
oppose the adjustment Of the inhumaI
convict system which We now have
in Arkansas are in my opinion, bound
in the direction OF that place spokeT
of by Governor Blease In connection
with the Constitution; and il IS my
belief that they are 10 land there IN
spite of every effort of min. TO prevent
them doing so.' 4 statement Of the

victs were sentenced to prison covers
all grades OF crime; and it is clear
that Governor Donaghey did not select
any class of offenders. but pardoned
by Wholesale on account of the insnt-
ferable conditions under which the con
victs were held. There is clearly n
good deal TO say in behalf Of Governor
Donaghey's position. But there is
nothing whatever to say in behalf OF
the rawlings of Governor Blease, nor
of the vindietive, spiteful work of Gov
ernor West.
The acts OF these Governors show
in forcible form the great divergence
between Governors of States in this
Union, and the vast powers that are
lodged in the gubernatorial office. 1t
is good thing once in while To
get Il view OF the independent powers
of the States, when we are SO prone
to consider the supreme power OF the
Nation And the clear intent OF the
founders of the Republic that the
States should have and should exercise
independent powers within thcil
spheres, not subject TO interference by
the Federal Government, is brought
more and more into view when we con
slider the powers Of the State as mani
tested through the acts Of their Gov
ernors and otherwise; and it is wei
said that the perpetuity and freedom
OF this country is best to be preserved
by maintaining the balance OF powe
between the State and the Fedora
Union, and respecting TO the full eacl
authority within its proper sphere.

Mining companies of Utah, wherever
possible, arc arranging for the nsuhi
Christmas holiday, and the city is tliled
with mining men from all over the
State arranging trips to their MONIES
in various sections Of the country.
There are number OF companies In the
State which demand constant attent-
ion, but it is doubtful if the Utah
properties as whole are returned TO
their normal production gait until De
cember both.
Attention during the past week has
been centered upon the Eastern stock
markets. The majority of the issues
affected by the big depreciation IN
market value the first week of the
month have regained considerable oil
the lost strength, although there is an
underlying sentiment that the markets
will see lower prices than have been
gained so far, probably In February
and the public investor is warned not
TO commit himself too far on the long
side. while all accounts should be
strengthened against another down
ward plunge.
Local mining share conditions arc
unchanged There has been a reason
ably good demand for stocks, especially
those paying holiday dividends, and II
is somewhat unusual to see markc
ranges as a rule so well maintained a
this time of the year, when the average
trader is thinking moro Of Christma
| than OF the stock market. The eE
change should enjoy very prosperous
season in 1918.
Word from the various districts o
the State announces unusual ore ton
nagcs being marketed, as the wlnte
weather so far has been, extremely ia
vorable for mining operations. lh
