Attendance Is Large.

About twenty-stX governors and
two or three governors elect attend
ed our conference this year. The
attendance varied. as some OF the
governors We're unable to attend dur
Ing the fun time. The most inter-
estinG Incident was the outburst of
Governor Cole S. Blease of South
Carolina on the race question. His
fiery speech followed the papers read
by Governor Oddie Of Nevada and
Governor Hawley OF Idaho. on the di-
vorce question, Governor Blease is
typical OF the fiery southerner OF the
old school and il would be unfair TO
charge him up TO the new south. In
fact, II is certain that he does not
represent the true sentiment or the
south, The resolutions censuring
him We're prepared and urged by
southern governors. We OF the north
and west took little part in the dis
cussion, feeling that 1t was essen
TALLY a southern question. | rather
think that Governor Blease's speech
was one he had left over from hi.
campaign and he wanted TO show the
other governors the kind OF cam
paign he conducted in his state. /
understand he purposes To incor-
porate IL In his message 10 the state
legislature and expects it TO elect him
TO the United states senate. and
presume that IL will.

GROWS INTERESTING
Balnberger and Utah Light
Each Endeavoring TO Build
Into BOuntiful.

The interurban situation al Bountiful
is growing more and more interesting.
With the Salt Lake X Ogden railway
skirting the western edge or the town,
the city council of Bountiful recently
granted a franchise TO the Utah Light
& Railway company, allowing It the
privilege OF building an nterurban road
through the city, This was TO enter the
town from the southeast and 20 extend
through IL and on TO Centcrville The
service from the two lines would be about
all that any city the size Of Bountiful
could expect or desire.
About week ago the Salt Lake &
Ogden Railway company started To lay
n track on highway No ., which is the
route selected by the Utah Light &c Rail-
way company, for entrance into Bounu-
full Not only was work started. but
simon Bamberger. president OF the Salt
Lake & Ogden Railway company. OBJ
tanned In the Second district court at
ogden writ OK injunction against the
Utah Light & Railway company and 9TH
ers in an apparent effort to prevent any
interference with the work by that COM
pany. which appears to have been eX-
pccted by the Bamberger people.
The general verdict Of the people liy-
Ing along the highway mentioned is that
il is the ideal place for one interurban
road, but that two such roads there would
be too many. In short. Il the Salt Lake
& Ogden company succeeds in holding the
right OF way into Bountiiul on highway
No. ., IL is probable thet the Utah Light
& Railway company will have to change
It's plans and enter the town by some
other route, or not enter il.
The city Of Bountful has granted q
franchise TO the Utah Light &: Railway
company 10 construct and operate an in
terurban railway through the city and
has not granted such franchise TO tho
Salt Lake & Ogden company. Mr. Bam-
berger however claims the right 10 con-
struct such lines as are needed for the
successful operation of the line now ex-
tending between this city and Ogden and
| evidently deems the line on highway No.
| 2 necessary to that operation.
| Altogether there seems to be a nice
| little lawsuit before the lnterurban ques-
| tion at Bountiful is finally settled. al
| though representatives OF the two con-
! trolling companies seem complacent re-
| cardinG the whole affair and would inn
press the public with the idea that the
matter viii soon be settled.

Glad to Get Home.

Governor Spry said lie was well en-
tertained while in the east. but that H.
was more than pleased to get back &
Utah, even though his return involved
great deal OF work with the capito
commission and in the nrepara ton of hi
inaugural address and his message to tn
state legislature lie said.
or course we were royalty re-
ccived in Richmond, Our treatment
by the people OF Virginia was the
last word in hospitality. Those peo-
pie are pastmastcrs in the art. They
have a faculty OF making one feel
completely at home and they would
make one want 10 stay with them
forever did he not think OF the duties
he owed his OWN state.
Next year tho governors confer
ence is 10 be held in Colorado
Springs and the western and inter-
mountain states-unimportant states
as we were frequently called dur
ing the late campSign-will have the
opportunity OF showing that VIC are
not to be outdone by tho generous
hospitality of the eastern and south
cTn states.

Taking Money From State.

Think what this means 20 Utah.
IT means that from quarter OF n
million 10 one-half million dollars In
taxes will be taken out OF the state
each year by the federal government
and not one cent returned. The
money will be used for dredging
rivers and harbors and for other fed
eral purposes. The tax is proposed
by the Democrats To supply II deficit
OF sl00.00O,0 900 year that Will be oc-
casioned by the operation Of their
tariff reduction programme, The
only government money spent I'm
Utah Is for reCla nation projects and
this money is ultimately paid back
To the government by the farmers
whose lands are under these prof.
Gets. a federal income tax will take
from quarter TO one-ha)f million
dollars annually out of Utah and give
us nothing in return. Ny position Is
that this money should be paid into
the state treasury and used for the
maintenance OF our state instltu-
tons and the construction OF our
good roads.

invited to visit the qusrries in Ver-

do so. The conference was unofficial
and was at the suggestion OF Mr.
Wells Some OF the Vermont people
will probably be here before the first
of the year to urge the adoption OF
the proposed columns by the COM
mission
There Is strong feeling In New
York against the police department
and as result OF this feeling Mayor
Gaynor is becoming very unpopular.
A strong bipartisan sentiment in

Interesting Subject.

One OF the most impoTtant topics
discussed al Richmond and later at
Washington with President Taft was
the proposed farmers loan systcn
being urged by President Taft and
Myron r. HerriclS cmba ssador to
France We had an interesting dis
cussion OF the subject, which Is an
absorbing one. Some OF the features
OF the system would not be appllca bic
To Utah. but there are other fea lures
that will bear investigation.
At first blush I should be inclined
to favor the proposal. though before
committing myself finally | should
like to go into the matter more thor
oughly and discuss The question with
persons who are familiar with the
subject, There Is To be an interna-
tional conference In Rome in April on
the question and il is proposed that
each state send a representative 10
this conference. II is not unlikely
that Utah viii send representa-,
tive.
There are some objections 10 the
plan, but where ii has been given Il
thorough test by practical opera tion
in Germany and France u has proved
TO be highly successful. Er1bassa-
dor Eierrick has written an interest
Ing pamphlet on the plan.

pointed committee 10 investigate

Good Is Accomplished.

The conference OF governors has
accomplished considerable in securing
uniform Legislation relative to nego-
table paper and TO warehouse re-
ceipts, However. the credit for this
should be given 10 the commission
ers on uniform legislation. VINO first
brought the matter TO the attention
OF the governors.
Ny opinion is that these confer
ences will accomplish more FIVE
years from now than at present. The
first thing that must be done is TO
urge the attendance of all The gov
eTnors al these conferences. There
are some states that have never
been represented at these confer
enceS and some OF the governors are
being Ccnsured for not attending
them, The people are awakening to
i realization OF the good that may
he accomplished. We have been care
ful that our work should not be con
strued as conflicting in any way
with congress and also that our pur-
pose should not be misconstrued.
For this reason We have turned down
the proposal that this conference OF
governors should be termed THE
House OF Governors -

Work of Conference.

Our work at tho governors confer
onCr was Interesting and will doubt
less be productive OF great good.
However. the results thus far ac-
compliShed by these conferences OF
governors arc not what I had hoped
voluntary and unauthorized meeting
Of governors for the purpose Of an
exchange Of ideas and not at all for
the purpose OF legislation. However,
il has always seemed to me that we
could accomplish more In the line of
uniform legislation for the different
states than has been done. AZ the
present time more is being done
along this line by the commissioners
on uniform legislation than by the
conference of governors
| realize that our problems out
west are different from those of the
states to the east and the south, but
common 10 all Of us. For instance.
IL is imperative that We get together
on our marriage and divorce laws.
To illustrate. we have "A very good
law in Utah forbidding the marriage
of first cousins, Under this law We
can prevent their marrying In Utah
but there is nothing In the world 10
prevent them from crossing the line
TO Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho and
laws, and being married. We have
no right 10 prosecute them on their
return. However,, if we had uniform
laws on marriage in all these states
We would be in a position 10 en-
force them. | am going to urge the
governors OF the surrounding states
to recommend the passage OF mar
will conform TO our laws on the sub
iect.

lnended to the various state legis-

Inended 10 the various state legis-
latures.
Another important subject OF dis
Cussion at the conference was the
need OF an amendment TO our plan
OF Judicial procedure that Will make
IL more speedy. The plan is to get
back TO the old English system OF jul
diclal procedure. especially in criui-
nal actions, that will enable us TO
dispose of a case In a comparatively
short time. An interesting paper on
this subject was read by Governor
Emmett O'Neal OF Alabama We
are In need OF legislation that Will
make our procedure in criminal cases
in this state shorter and am in
hopes that we may secure 1t from
the next legislature.
State income tax laws were dis
cussed in some detail and / was
gratifed TO know that the position
| have taken In Utah in opposing
the amendment to the federal con-
stitution authorizing an income tax
TO be levied by the government was
popular. ] am in favor OF d state In
come tax. but not federal income
tax
There ls needed only the ratifca-
tion OF the proposed amendment by
two more states 90 make the amend
ment a part OF the constitution, This
Will undoubtedly be secured and the
next congress is likely to pass an in
come tax law under the authorize
tion OF the amendment The amend
men, does not limit congress as to
the size OF the Income to be taxed
nor the amount OF the tax TO be
levied. Incomes OF $1,000 Il year may
be taxed under the provisions of the
amendment. ] understand Demo
cratic leaders have now In prepara-
tion a bill providing for an income
tax in anticipation OF favorable ac-
ton by two more states on the ratI-
tication or the amendment, This
