A GOOD POINT RAISED.

| The Utah capitol COMMISSION IS en-
| gagged inst now in the preliminary
steps towards examining and passing
upon plans for the State capitol. Mis-
souri, has a like Job on her hands; aud
we find in the st. Louis Times n sug
gcstion that is appropriate in all fair
ness iu Missouri, and is Just as appro
pirate for Utah. The Times suggestion
| is that in advising and agreeing upon
plans for the State capitol of Missouri
there should be conveniences and am
pie room provided for the 'men who
record the happenings Of tho icgisla
ture for the press of the State and
country The Times proceeds to say
on this point:
The building which burned at Jeffer-
son City was defective in no single par

inE done on the States behalf-or to
It's disadvantage,
Therefore, the newspaper men, who are
early and late on the scene. and who are
prePaTea to M make iS eyery effort Eff to pre-
lature TO their readers. should be con-
sidcred.
The ioo-common theory that this
viii do for the newspaper men should
be changed 10 Il seemlier phrase. this
will be worthy of the men who are
here. in the widest sense, in the peo-
pies interest.
We commend the suggestion to the
State Capitol Commission of Utah as
one cmincntlv worthy Of its earnest
consideration. There is no doubt but
that the point made by the Times is
we'll taken. There should be fair and
adequate provision made for the rep.
reseDtativcs Of the newspapers OF the
State of Utah in the performance Of
their duty Of reporting the legislature
primarily, and also in getting the daily
news from the offices of the various
state officials. The day has gone by
when the press can be ignored, as WAS
too much the fashion in times gone
by; for, 1T Is now q wcll.rccognizcl
principle everywhere that the public is
entitled to the news Of public affairs,
and that those who get the news for
the public arc justly to he considered
as performing useful and proper pub
lie function. This is so plain n PROPOSE
tiou now as 10 need no argument to
support it; and VIC direct the attention
of the Capitol Commission to this point
as one that is not only worthy OF their
attention. but Of real and practical I'M
portancc TO all the people of the State.

STEADY DEVELOPMENT
IN NEW SUBDIVISION
Many Lots Sold and Several Houses Bolt
in Sixteenth Street Highlands.

The increasing popularity OF de-
tached homes of the suburban type is
strongly indicated by the active de-
mand for lots and the large volume
of building operations now in progress
in Sixteenth Street Highlands. The sales
manager of the property stated yester-
day that although this subdivision has
only recently been placed actively on
the market more than. half a million
feet of ground has been sold. practi-
cally all of 1t to actual home builders
A number Of homes have been built
and occupied. many others are under
construction and plans have been pre-
pared and arrangements made for
building operations on an extensive
scale during the approaching season
1t Is calculated that the aggregate val
ue of the houses completed together
with those planned to be built during
this year will approximate $175.000. 1t
is noteworthy feature that all the
houses built as we'll as those in con-
temptation are of character that
lends attractiveness to suburban Wash

been made to apply to the entire sec
ton. Under these regulations, which
have the sanction of law and are a
matter of public record, only one
dwelling house of stipulated cost can be

all houses are required to be set back a
uniform distance from the sidewalk, al
lowing plenty of room for front yards.

The management of Sixteenth Street

adjacent property along 18th street have
steadily adhered to their original purpose
of requiring all improvements to conform
to the best ideals of hish-class suburban

they have taken all necessary precautions
to prevent the section from being marred
by the building of houses in rows, apart

Gently, as Herald readers will recall
Mr.. Perley was the expert of the state
railway commission on safety ap-
planes, crossings, etc., but he was re-
tired from his position because, il
was stated, of the language of a
speech he delivered before the North
Yakima Commercial club. Mr.. Perley
was a railroad engineer in this state
for near to a quarter of century, and
his work on the state commission
won for him the high regard not only
of railroad officials. but of the rail-
way workers in the ranks, who looked
upon him as their special friend. He
has been called the greatest lffe-saver
in this state. r. ~
Mr.. Perley was in North Yakima a
short time ago and announced public
ly that hewas prepared to inaugurate
a six months campaign looking to the
defeat of Governor Hay in his candi-
dacy for reelection as the chief ex-
ecutive of this state. Whether his
new appointment will mean that he
gives up his active campaign against
Hay remains to be seen. The fact
that he has been made a special rep
the o. w. r. & n. is a sufficient in
dication of the attitude toward him
held by leading railway men and is a
fact which will be heard with great
pleasure by his friends here.

DEMOCRATS SPLIT
With INSURGENTS
Allies Find That They Cannot
Stand Together on the Metal
Tariff Revisions

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.--All at
tempts on the part of the republicans
to amend the metal tariff revision bill
in the house today failed. The session
was marked by a sharp division be-
tween the democrats and insurgent re-
publicans and an open declaration on
the part of the insurgents that they
will vote against the bill when ii
comes up for passage Monday.
The bill as it will go to the senate
will carry an average reduction of
tariff duties on all metal articles of
about 35 per cent from rates of the
Payne Aldrich law now in force. 1t
is expected, If it becomes a law, to
increase the imports by $250,00O,OOO
and reduce the revenues about $780,
900.
Considerable acrimonious debate
marked the proceedings as Underwood
applied the house rules to shut of
debates and the amendments offered
Republican leader Mann declared the
presiding chairman, Representative
Floyd of Arkansas, and Underwood
had "usurped the powers of the house
more automatically than ever was
done before in the history Of the re-
public"
Amendments to put the eight hour
day clause into the bill were ruled
out OF ordar.

Governor Folk and his friends,

charging me with like practices. So
far as l am concerned l have stood
and propose to stand on my own feet
