UNION WARNED
CONGRESS OF SEA DANGERS

HE investigation being made by
l. the Senate committee on the
wreck of the Titanic is bringing to
light a situation that the Interna-
tional union has warned the people of
all countries about for many years.
At this very day there is pending
in Congress bill which, If it be-
comes a law, will accord to seamen
the possibility Of self-help and make
of them free men, and in addition
improve the safety of travel at sea
and make more attractive the oppor-
tunities that the sea offers for Ameri-
can boys.
Andrew Furuseth, probably the
most famous sailor in America, and
a member of the legislative commit
tee at Washington Of the American
Federation of Labor, on many occa-
slons has informed congress that
the methods employed by the great
shipping interests in their treatment
of sailors had discouraged able and
self-respecting men from becoming
seamen. 49,. =
He also has repeatedly warned the
people that no passenger boat landing
in any port in America carried SUI
ficient number of life boats to be OF
any material use in wreck at sea.
What the American people are now
Tearing the International Seamen's
union has been trying to tell them for
two decades. It is to be hoped now
that this terrible object lesson with
its awful cost will compel congress to
pass the bill that the seamen have
asked of it for more than Is years.

PUBLIC GOOD INVOLVED IN
PATROL LIMITS EXTENSION

THE question for an alderman
l. should De: Is this ordinance for
the public good? Not is it for the
benefit of John Smith or his group;
but for the benefit of the people at
large. A great deal of legislation is
procured for an individual or a
class only, and that is nearly always
against the public good. We hear a
great deal of complaint on account
of the interests Influencing legisla-
ton. But an individual or a. little
group, such as pressed the passage
Of the patrol limits ordinance, is an
interest-a self-interest-and there
should be prejudice against that
sort of legislation as much as against
the legislation for corporation.
Legislation may sometimes do
harm to an individual or a particu-
lar trade or profession, but if the
legislation is for the benefit of the
people and does not violate the in
herent rights of men, it should be
enacted. There is not a city council
but what violates this rule over and
over again. In fact, every council
is invaded by men who want favors,
and many aldermen have such mar
row ideas of their duty that they join
in an effort to bestow these favors,
when in the very nature of the case
a favor is a sacrifice Of the public
interests.
No man should be elected to the
council who does not understand the
principle fully, or who fails in the
courage to stand for it. If the alder
men who voted for the extension of
the patrol limits had understood the
principle they would have first con-
sidered the question of public good"

BIG BUSINESS SATISFIED NOW.

The public service corporations do not want the
people to have the Initiative and referendum. Of
course they don't. The big corporations have their
own system of initiative and referendum, of law
making and law-breaking, and they don't want it
interfered with. It pays dividends to them
Public service corporations have their own sys-
tenn Of initiative They deal directly with their
own agents in law-makng bodies in CITY, state and
nation through their agents who are not lawmakers
They do not have to get petitions signed, do not
have to go before the people and explain the law
they want, they have their proposition introduced
by one of their hired men, and they line up their
other hired men to vote for it.
. But it ism t laws that public service cor
porations or Big Business generally want so much
as the killing of propositions in the interest Of the
people, The whole machinery has been fixed for
many years just about as the privileged interests
want it, and it is easier to kill good bill than to
pass bad one. So the public service corporations
and Big Business have their own system Of refer
endum for killing the kind of legislation the people
want
It takes the majority of the members of city
council to pass good or bad ordinance, but this
ism where the trouble u.s. although it may be much
easier to do business with sixteen voters in the
common council than with 10000 common voters
The real wrong is inflicted behind closed doors
where the people do not have the chance to observe
how their representatives treat the kind of egisa
ton they want.
AS every person knows when an ordinance is
introduced into the city council it must be referred
to a committee. Behind the closed doors of the
committee "jokers'' are put into proposed
ordinances, and they put in by agents Of Big
Business, and it is common way of putting up
jobs the people,
Then Big Business has the courts as a part of
its referendum system. 1t owns some of the courts
and that makes it easy. If Big Business wants a
law killed. after the Legislature has passed the law
it sends it's high salaried lawyer into court to show
that the law is unconstitutional or is ''wrong'
in some other way. It's all the easier if the law
has Big Business Joker" in it.
Big Business is satisfied with it's private system
Of initiative and referendum and that's the reason
it fights peoples system of initiative and referen-
dunn. And if Big Business would tell the TRUTH
it would say this:
''The common voter may say what he thinks of
a law; may say it to his neighbor or say it in
speech or letter to his paper but he must not say
it the ballot, because that will interfere with
our system, The common voter may petition the
council for law, he may favor such law in his
paper, in speech or in talking to his neighbor:
but we are not going to let him put his x On the
ballot in favor of that law, for that will upset
our private system. - a.s - s#

COTTON ACREAGE SIX PER CENT
LESS THIS YEAR.

Reports from correspondents of the
Commercial Appeal of date of May 2S
and 20 indicate probable decrease in
the acreage planted in cotton this sea-
son of 6 per cent. These figures are,
however, more than usually indetermi-
nate. as considerable planting remains
to be done over wide areas.
Correspondents estimates on the con-
dition of the crop as compared to nor
NAL indicate a percentage of 80 to SO.
The crop is later than last year in all
states save the two Carolinas and Tex
as and over the whole belt the land
preparation is less thorough and plant
ing was begun at later date than last
wear. Rapid termination has, how
ever. done much to restore the time
lost.
The plant is generally healthy and
growing thrifty and where it is ad-
vanced enough cultivation is making
normal progress.

Roohng-and we will do this to
your complete satisfaction.
We will show you beyond any
question that Malthoid is the
very highest type of
roofing perfection and made so
we'll that it will last as long
as the building it covers.
We will show you that Malthoid
is a better roofing than
shingles--is more satisfactory
than iron-is cheaper than tin
in fact, we can prove that
there is no other roofing known
to the building trade that
is as good
as durable
as long lasting
as water proof
as FIRE resisting and as cheap as
Malthoid Roofing.

ready roofing marking time
while it is progressing
there is more of it sold

this is so.

have been a. it

they not only make this roofing

They would rather have the
good will of the builder than

AUTO CLUB OPENS

Headquarters of Motorists Is
Located at 25i So. State;
information Furnished.

In line with the policy Of TIE new
directors of tho Automobile club OF
Utah, the organization has opened an
office at PSI South State street, from
which all business of the club Will be
transacted In the future. The location
is ono of the most central In the city
from an automobile standpoint and is
of easy access to motorists at all times.
A general bureau of information for
automobilists will be run in connection
with the office. Maps and logs Of the
roads in and ont of Utah will he kept
on file for the benefit Of club members
and tourists.
1t is the intention to open a regis
ter for all tourists so a record can be
the city each touring season. Tourists
will also be asked to report on roads
east and west of Utah, for the benefit
of those who follow. BY this system il
is believed the club will be able to
keep in touch with road conditions at
all times of the year.
This system has been adopted IN
nearly all of the larger cities of the
country, and it is claimed is helpful

formation bureau is but one of the few
activities of the club it was thought
necessary by the new directors to get
this branch started at once as tourists
are daily arriving and leaving the city:
Nearly all seek road information and
in many cases they are sent out over
inferior routes through ignorance Of
those directing them.
Local motorists are invited to take
advantage of this opportunity to secure
road information.
