Tribute to Wells.

During tho splendid administration
OF Governor Ucber NJ. Wells, when
Utah first bcGinlc state. VIC were
establishing our state Institutions and
It required large sums TO do IL. IL
became necessary each year from
spring until fall when the taxes came
due 10 borrow $4,000 Aa oar IN
stttutions became established II was
not necessary to borrow so much and
Governor Cutler reduced this amount
10 $500. 900 per year. During the first
Two wears Of the present sdninlstra-
don 4, was necessary TO borrow only
5000 600 annually and In 1911 and
1912 not a single dollar has been
borrowed.
The governor then told OF the payment
by the state board Of examiners OF $3.50.
900 Of territorial Indebtedness. He point
cd out that tho legislature of 1911 appro-
pliated more money for bridges alone
than the TWO Democratic state lcgis!a-

Replies to Criticism.

Some undue criticism has como Ia
the state administration because VIC
have money on hand. IL strikes me
that when the stockholders Of = busi-
ness come together TO hear the. re-
port Of their general manager they
would much rather hear that tue
business had > balance TO It's credit
rather than that the account was
'i!n the rcd" and tho business was
burdened with an oVcrdrait. IL has
been the policy OF the present ad-
ministra tion TO see 10 IT that Tor the
first time in history this state has
been placed on a strictly cash basis.
| wish TO give credit 10 Attorney
General 4. r. Barnes FOR what ne
has done i'm the interests OF the IL
nances OF the state. For the first
time he has made the inheritance tax
law effective. Under its operation
and by his perseverance he has col
lcctcd during the past two years gl-
proXimatelv 81, 500 000. Or this amount
not 10 exceed 100000 was collected

Republican Prosperity.

The American production OF sugar,
both cane and beet has been made
possible by the present tariff policy
OF The Republican party. Cane SUGAR
production dates back 10 long before

is Of recent growth. In 1891, when
the Dinclcy tariff law was enacted.

,ica's treatment of the Standard Oil
= Glled darkest Abyssinia-"
II is true that when L was presi-
dent 1 administered the darkest Abys-
sinian treatment to the Standard Oil
company, but it was because It
needed it
The next statement that I want to
call your attention to is that of Mr..
Archbold that when the bureau of cor
porations began its Investigations Of
the Standard Oil, Mr.. Archbold went to
Mr.. Bliss to call him off He testifies
that Mr.. Bliss told him I have no in
flGence with Mr.. Roosevelt. 7 cannot
help you
That statement is only part true, for
Mr.. Bliss did have great influence with
me l have a great respect for Mr.
Bliss But 1t is true that neither Mr.
Bliss nor any other human being had
the slightest influence with me so far
as getting me to refrain from prose-
cutting any corporation for breaking
the law All these men who testify
do, or did not do anything improper n
their interests. And they are all now
supporting the candidates against me
those who are alive"
FricIx a Heavy Contributor.
When the committee reconYened af-
ter recess senator Paynter took up the
examination.
The colonel reiterated that his first
knowledge of 100000 contributions in
1904 by J. P. Morgan or George Gould
came from the testimony of George R.
Sheldon.
4 know P. c. Prick had contributed
heavily and was ready to contribute
more" he said. I did not know the
amount. Mr.. Knox had told me that
Mr., Frick was one of my strongest
hackers"
I had heard there was a Standard
Oil contribution" said the colonel "but
I didn't know it came from Mr.. Arch
bold"
He could not remember who told him.
Have you believed all these years
that the Standard Oil contribution was
not made?" asked senator PaynteF.
''Cortelyou told me that, and Mr.
Bliss told Mr.. Loeb that; and only the
other day Mr. Cortelyou told me that
he had been informed by Mr.. Bliss that
contributions had been made by the
Standard Oil company.
q had an explicit understanding with
Mr. Bliss and Mr.. Cortelyou that no
money was to be accepted of any kind
if conditions were expressed or implied
as to its receipt; and the money was
not to De spent in an improper way,
such as the buying of votes"

vent being subjected to hostility from
certain sources. They could mean hos

4 had no way of being hostile IN
less they violated the law. So the
action of Penrose in advising Standard

prosecution for violation of the law.
