THE SUTHERLAND
BILL.

Judging from the favor with which
the bill providing for compensation
for injured railway workers, as pre-
pared by Senator Sutherlands com
mittee, is being received by the edi-
torial press throughout the country,
It is more than likely that the meas
ure will be enacted into law before
the adjournment of the present SEES
sion of Congress,
The bill was transmitted to Con
gress with the Presidents special
message week before last, with an
urgent request for early action upon
the same.
The bill was drawn up by the EN-.
ployer's Liability and Workmens
Compensation Commission, consist.
ing of Senator Sutherland (Rep.,
Utah chairman, Chamberlain, Dem.
Ore.,) Representatives Moon (Rep
Pa and Bromley dem. Ga), and
Mr.. ID. l.. Cease, editor of a railroad
mems magazine.
According to President Taft the
passage of this law would be zone OF

satisfactory solution Of one phase of
the controversies between employer
and employee" and President Taft
continues;
This bill works out in detail a
compensation for accidental injuries

theory of insuring each employee

MORE RAILROADS
NEEDED.

The information given recently Ia
our readers through these columns
to the effect that the Denver ard
Rio Grande railroad was to inaugur.
ate a series of improvements through
out the entire system with particular
attention to points within the STATE
cannot fail TO be of interest to all
our citizens.
Part of the work has been already
begun in cutting down the grade at
Soldiers Summit from four 20 less
than two per cent.
Mr.. b. J.. Bush, the new president,
is authority for the statement that
over 100000 will be spent this
year on improvements to the system
in Utah alone. This is gratifying
news, for the interests of the State
are directly linked with that Of the
railroads operating within It, and
every dollar spent on Improvements
is that much value added to the
state.
One of our most urgent needs is
that of more railroads. Thousands
OF acres Of fertile land are at present
lying undeveloped for no other rea-
son than that of remoteness from a
market. Wherever the railroad
reaches out for new territory there
houses, villages, and cities spring up,
as IL by magic. Instead of viewing
the progress of the railroads with
suspicion and alarm, as is the Gus
tom with many, they should receive
all the support possible consistent
with a proper regard for our ultimate
welfare.
In this connection ii is pleasing 10
know that negotiations are already
under way looking to the establicr'
ment of a system of interurban lines
extending from Salt Lake City, to
Nephi on the south, and to Brigham
City on the north, connecting with
the different towns throughout tits
entire length.
Such system would prove of un'
told value in developing these vari
GUS communities, and 1t is to he
hoped that the commissioners with
whom will rest the privilege of grant
ing franchises for the same, VIII
look upon the matter with keenel
appreciation of the benefits to be de
rived therefrom, than that which
characterized the action of our ioca
commissioners in the recent request
made upon them by local railroad
men.

FOR "UTAH DAY"

The plan now being discussed by
an ''All Utah Day" is move in the
right direction. The suggestion is
that a special day be set apart for
the purpose of advertising the won
derful resources of the state. Every
man, woman, and child will be asked
to write at least one letter that day
to some friend, or acquaintance In
the east, directing their attention 20
the desirability of making home in
Utah. The business men may also
be asked to enclose boost circulars
and pictures setting forth the many
attractive features OF the State, the
object being to allay the unjust pre-
judice now existing in the minds of
many eastern people as to conditions
in Utah.
But the plan would serve another
equally desirable purpose and that Is
to make our own people better az
Quainted with the resources of the
state in which we live. Utah is an
almost perfect epitome of the United
States, ranging in climate from the
semi-tropical in Dixie" to the rig
orous, bracing atmosphere of Cache
Valley.
Down in st. George and vicin
ity they grow cotton, dates, raisins
and other crops peculiar to warm
climates, and as we advance north
ward through the state there Is found
such succeeding diversity of pod
ucts of the soil such as apples, pears
peaches, all kinds of cereals-sav'
rlce-melons, root and forage crops
AMI ranging upward to the pine
balsam and fir trees that crown the
mountain peaks, as TO cause for re
mark by all who become acquaini
with its wonderful possibilities.

HAD TO BUY HOME
IN ORDER TO GET One

Mr. G II. Porter, who recently re-
moved to Americas from Atlanta, has
now fully embarked in business here
as a builder and contractor, and in
tends to make this city his permanent
home.
AS is not unusual with those seek
ing to locate in Americas, Mr. Porter
had his troubles in finding a house.
None were TO be had for rent and for
over two weeks his furniture lay on
storage at the depot Finally, he
bought the house No 221 Jackson
street from Miss Martha Wheatley,
paid the tenants to move out, and got
located there with his family.
"If there is a town in Georgia that
needs houses more than Americas,
do not know it." said Mr. Porter yes
terday. The greatest drawback that
/ see to the growth of the city is thi;
absence Of renting properties, and
especially those of a moderate siZt
and bringing rentals that put then
in the reach of the man of averag.

CHOLERA SCARE

Much anxiety has been felt lately
over the danger of introducing the
dreaded Asiatic Cholera into this coun-

the plague districts of Europe.

fast that death often follows in few
hours. All forms of diarrhea and
dysentery are very weakening
A Valdosta, Ga, woman, Mrs. c. H.
King, tells how she regained her
strength She says, "An attack OF
dysentery left me so weak and exhaust
ed that it seemed impossible to regain
my strength. But since using one bot
tie of Vinol l am perfectly well again.
, Vinol will do wonders for anyone who
needs new strength and more flesh.
There is no doubt at all that this
! delicious cod liver and iron remedy
without oil possesses wonderful pow
err to renew tagging strength and vi
tally, and build up the body. If you
are not as strong as you ought to he
you need Vinol. and we guarantee that
it will build you up and make you

Two more persisted on Monday with

Of the place were puzzled. but SEEM

On Tuesday two more tiny lives

But not until this morning, when

Rabies We're Poisoned.
Tonight. just when the eighth in-
FAINT died. the hospital physicians and
outside experts CO nc TO the startling
conclusion that the dozen dead and
dying babies had been poisoned. An
autopsy performed upon several Of
them showed their stomachs bore
traces of some corrosive acid, prob
ably oxalic. which was given them
with their milk.
Investigation by ia squad OF detec.
uves proved that oxalic acid was the
only peieeH to which easy access
might be had In the hospital. Also.
they learned. q quantity Of that dead
" drug was purchased a short time
ago, and there was bottle OF Strong

dence to arrest any one. When they
departed a couple of policemen were
placed on guard to see that no one
went away from the place. A woman
empioye OF the hospital, crazed by
the death OF her own child some time
ago. Is said to be under suspicion.

ing OF the poison In the babies milk
was not an accident" said one Of
those In charge of the Investigation.
But we cannot act definitely until
We find out from a chemical ANALYSIS

what poison was used"
The hospital takes both paw pa
