TO HELP AMERICAN SHIPPING.

Representative SulZer Of New York
is pressing scheme Of his own for re-
storing the American merchant marine
He claims this as his own peculiar plan,
but, as matter Of fact, it is plan as
old as the Government itself IT is,
briefly stated to give American ships
an advantage over foreign ships in the
rebate of customs duties upon goods
imported in American ships. As Mr.,
Sulzer says, this proposition of mis- is
quite similar to the law which WAS on
the statute books from 1892 10 1928,
during which time, as he says, eve
built up the best merchant marine in
the world His proposition is to give
American ships preferential duty over
foreign ships Of FIVE cents on the dollar
on all goods, wares, and merchandise
brought into the Unitod States in Amer.
lean bottoms. As Mr.. Sulzer says,
"thIs is so great An advantage that il
would compel importers TO bring their
products to this country in American
ships
+ Perhaps so and perhaps not, for Mr..
Sulzer loses sight OF the fact Of the
commercial combines which so fully
dominate the American markets; and
he loses sight also Of the main point in
the whole discussion, for what he pro.
poses is simply a bounty to American
shipping, and il is bounty got at in
roundabout way, more expensive to
pay than would be direct bounty paid
to American shipping. But this direct
bounty Mr., Sulzer firmly opposes, do
claring it TO be an oppression upon the
American people, Yet he would give
this same bounty in an indirect and
expensive way,
The trouble with Mr. Sulzer. as with
so many other statesmen. is that they

ing points in southern Idaho and
western Wyoming. They were every
where received gladly and welcomed
enthusiastically. They showed their
up-to.date business qualities in excel.
lent form, and made a favorable i'm
preston wherever they went There
was no stint Of good feeling on either
side, and everything was joyous, hos
pitable and happy.
At the same time business was in
sisted upon as the main theme. 1t was
and all the time, and as such it was
received by the different communities
which were visited That was pro.
claimed from the first TO be it's pur
pose, and it was insisted upon all
through. This was exactly right, be-
cause the object of this excursion was
meant from the first to be clear busi-
ness-for the extension of Salt Lake
City's trade
This city is the natural emporium of
all this basin and mountain region.
Here the railroads converge, and here
the big business is concentrated 1t is
natural, therefore, that Salt Lake City
should reach out for the iobbing trade
of all the communities throughout its
'sphere of influence and TO see the

so heartily to this trade view was en-
couraging indeed.
The boosters got home Saturday night
feeling tired. but triumphant, Excel
lent results will doubtless follow the
trip as made, and in the meantime Salt
Lake City congratulates both the Com
mercial Club and its splendid array of
boosters who went upon this excursion,
and did such effective work thereon.

Nogi. it would have been proper for

would have been impoverished of great

The second amendment provides for
extension of the debt limit of Salt Lake
and Ogden for the purpose Of supply
ing these cities with water and arti-
fetal lights or sewers, when these are
owned and controlled by the city. The
language Of the amendment is that this
extension is allowed in cities Of 10000
population. But as Salt Lake City and
Ogden are the only two cities meeting
this population limit, they are the only
two to be affected At present the
limit fixed in the constitution for this
purpose is four per cent; the amend
ment would make it eight per cent.
We have not heard of any particular
movement in Salt Lake City for this
extension, and presume, therefore, that
it must apply specifically to Ogden.
But whether it is good State admin
istration to pass constitutional amend
ment allowing of the increase by four
per cent Of the debt limit of the city
of Ogden is n question that usually
would have to be answered in the mega
tive. But, il Ogden wants it. we see
no objection.

The first amendment changes the pay
of legislators from 81 a day as now
to IS a day, practically doubling the
expense of the legislature; for, OF
course, all of the legislative employees
will also be given additional pay when
the pay of the members themselves is
raised. We very much doubt the pro-
pricty of this raise. and do not see
that the quality of legislation which
we have usually had in Utah is worth
the money.

a value separate and Independent Of all

The third amendment proposes to
allow of the passage of general law
for the formation of new counties, and
| into precincts and school districts now
existing in the several counties. 1t
would seem as though this would pre-
vent the changing OF the boundaries
of precincts and school districts, no
| matter how much the necessity might
press for such changes. IT is difficult
TO see why the divisions Of the State
now existing In precincts and school
districts should be crystalized in the
constitution in their present form. The
assumed purpose of this amendment is
30 allow of the passage of a general
law for the formation Of new counties
Whether there would be objection to
that or not, the proposition as submit
ted is certainly objectionable; for we
frequently have occasion in Salt Lake
! county to change the precinct divisions
and election districts It is true that
election districts are not specifically
named in this proposed amendment; but
the language is such that the courts
might construe the amendment to mean
that. The first portion Of this amend
ment down to the language, "the leg.
islature NAV by general law provide
for the formation Of new countless -
etc, should be stricken out before this
amendment is ratified by the people;
for we cannot afford at this period
in the States history permanently to
fix the divisions of the counties into
precincts and school districts, and per-
haps election districts, by constitutional
amendment, 1t is difficult to see why
that portion Of that amendment should
have been included in a proposition
to allow of the formation of new coun-
ties; for il has nothing to do with
that matter, and would clearly be a
mischIevous and probably Impractical
BILE amendment There is nothing for
the people to do in this State, and es.
pecially in Salt Lake county. except
to vote down this proposition
