UNION PACIFIC ADJUSTMENT.

The new alignment of the Unior
Pacific system suggested in telegram
from Omaha in yesterday morning :
Tribune. is very likely TO be the shape
! that the railroad interests involved will
take. Under the ruling of the u. 5,
! Supreme Court. the Southern Pacific
system proper must be absolutely seq
regated from the Union Pacific But
the Union Pacific system includes al
ready the line from Omaha TO Ogden
and the track TO Portland. although
the latter is called the Oregon Short
Line, and includes the control of the
Oregon Railway < Navigation Com.
pany's line.
The combination suggested in the
Omaha dispatch is that the Union Pa
cifc proper viii include also the old
Central Pacific, making a through line
from Omaha to San Francisco, together
with the Oregon Short Line tracks to
Butte, Portland, and the spurs in Idaho,
and also the Salt Lake Route from this
city to Los Angeles But whether the
proposed combination would be any
closer than IT is now, is not certain,
Whatever danger might be implied
in combining together the three lines
from this state to the Coast has no
doubt been fully considered by the
lawyers Of the Union Pacific. and they
must be well convinced that there will
be no danger OF any suit to dissolve
that combination. But on the surface
showing there would be more likelihood
of the success Of such suit in tho
event Of that combination than there
was in the suit to dissolve the alleged
combination between the Union Pacific
so far as Is track from Omaha TO Og-
den was concerned, in It's connection
through TO San Francisco over the old
Central Pacific lines The court held
explicitly that this latter was not 4
combination, but simply transcouti-
mental line provided for definitely by
act Of Congress, aud was in no way
competitive but rather correlativc and
Complementary.
The adjustment suggested would put
under one management all Of the Har-
riman railroad interests in this inter
mountain country, and the advantage
Of having all operated in common is
evident from a practical and business
point of view, while as 10 the possible
violation Of The Sherman antitrust law.
doubtless the activities of the combined
system would be SO carefully guarded
and controlled that no occasion for
dispute or complaint would arise.

NoVEMBER'S FIRE LOSSES.

The losses by fire in the month Of
November Just past in this country
and Canada were the least Of any
November for the past three years
They amounted to $l6,172, 300, com
pared with S1S,6S0G00 for the same
month in 1911, and TO $16, 407, 900 in
November of 1910.
Although this year started with un-
commonly large losses in January,
backed up by like excessive losses in
February, the diminished losses month
by month since have brought the total
below those OF either of the three years
for the same period. In 1910 the fire
losses for the first eleven months were
S2l2 .942, 600; in eleven months of 1911
they were $2I1 ,6l4 400 For the same
period in the present year these losses
amount to $207 1853, 900, indicating that
in place of the present year showing
excessive fire losses, a. IL was expected
it would do from the enormous losses
iU the first two months, the losses will
in fact be considerably less than in
either of the other two years.
There we're 273 fires during No.
vember this year. causing a property
damage OF 100000 or over in each case
there were fourteen fires where the
loss amounted TO 100000 or over. The
most damaging was the burning OF the
bag factory aud eordage works in Mon
treal, Quebec. with loss of s465,o00
| Two other losses amounted to &400, ,000

BRITAIN HAS NO CASE.

II will he satisfaction TO the Amer
lean people to find that Secretary Knox
is firmly persuaded chat Great Britain
has no cause of complaint against this
country with regard TO the canal tolls.
Secretary Knox is q very astute law
yer, and can fairly be held TO be n
complete offset to Senator Root (who
takes The British yicw) in weight Of
Judgment. And with the understands
ing that be is fully persuaded that
Great Britain has no case and that
The United States may do as it viii
with its own canal, as indeed it would
be altogether singular if it could not, the
American public Will be quite con
tent
1t has been well stated that so far
as any obligation Of this country is
concerned towards Great Britain with
respect to that canal, this obligation
was entirely set aside by the ratif-
cation of the second Hay-Pauncefote
treaty. And since Great Britain has
put nothing into the canal, but has
waived her treaty rights to take part
in the construction in place Of actually
taking part in it. leaving the whole
cost and administration to the United
States, it will be difficult indeed TO see
contention comes in, that she is on
the same basis as the United States
with respect to the use Of that ca
nal. Secretary Knox can fairly and
squarely meet the issue on the common
law principle of proprietary right,
which primarily is the same for a ma
ton as for an individal, but SO far
as this particular matter is concerned,
that right is immensely reinforced in
favor Of the United States bv our ac-
quisition of complete sovereignty and
jurisdiction over the canal zone.
1t is possible. as is suggested in the
dispatch. that Secretary Stimson may
be right in suggesting that it would
be well to leave out from the Con
gressional enactment any discriminating
matters of toll, leaving the whole sub
lcct to be fixed by administrative OPP
Grafton The law vests in the Presi-
dent the duty and power of fixing the
tolls. And the same result could be
reached by the Presidents proclama-
tion under the law as is sought to be
reached in the enactment.
But the main thing is that the po.
sition of the United States is absolute
lv impregnablc in this matter, and the
British protest is simply a protest of
special interests, and that can in no
way reach in its standing the dignity
Of an international plea.

THE DETENTION HOME DISPUTE

| Wo see the same old dispute has
arisen with regard to the alleged city
portion OF the cost Of the detention
home Ii is an old contention, and one
that ought 10 have heeu settled by
| legislation long ago. Under the pres.
ent statute the county has the com
plete control Of the detention home, and
is supposed TO be at liberty TO tax
against the city what it may claim to
be the lefty S share Of the expenses
of running that bone. But since the
city has nothing TO do with the admin
distion in any shape or form with re-
spect TO it, the righttul rule Of obllga'
ton would free the city from any ex-
penditure that it had not voluntarily IN
CURED. II the city officially turns over
TO the county any inmates OF the de-
tention home it should do so under au
express agreement as to what the cost
will be, precisely as if the city should
turn over patients TO a hospital or to
any other public utility that should
care for them There would i'll fact be
Just MS much propriety in the county
assessing against the city a special
bill Of costs for the support Of city
paupers or any city indigents in the
nfirmary or poor house, as TO do the
like for this detention home.
The city has always contested this
right, but its contest has never been
brought to a head We suggest that
now is a favorable. time to settle this
whole matter, and to get court rul-
ing on the past, and better legislation
for the future. It is not becoming TO
the city or the county TO be IN cou-
slant wraDgle about matter of this
kind. The city has clear right and Jus
ticc on its side, but the county has the
face OF the statute. That statute is
probably unconstitutional in this poiut,
but if so it should be pronounced un-
constitutional by the courts. Tho city
and county should not be in constant
wraugle on a point Of constitutionality
with that point never brought TO de
cision. Let it be decided now, and
then let the legislature either give the
city its rghtful proportion of control
in the detention home, or let the basis
OF adjustment as between the city and
county be on agreement made and scrv-
ice rendered, on contract between the
two and not on the basis that the coun-
ty may do rs it will, and charge against
lbo cit,- pbnocpc

THE CAPITOL GRADES.

1t is unfortunate that there should bt
at this late date, or indeed at any date
for that matter, an annoying dispute a.
TO grades on Capitol Hill which might
delay the letting of contracts for the
construction of the capitol. 1t had beer
supposed by the public that the work
OF the Olmsted Brothers in fixing line:
and points on the Hill with a view to
the construction of the capitol, had set
tied that matter so far as the capitol
building was concerned. If it does not
settle it. then the work Of the Ohm
sted Brothers was in vain, and the ex-
pense involved in their employment was
waste Of money.
1t appears that the contention just
now is between the city engineer and
Mr.. Kletting. 1t is not easy to nm
derstand however what the city en-
gineer has to do with it, nor indeed
why there should be any dispute at
all. Ii the Capitol Commission accept
ed the work of the Olmsted Brothers
and proceeded with their approval of
the capitol plans and put forth their
advertisement for bids for work on the
capitol on the basis of the Olnsted lev
elings, it would seem that they should
proceed on that line. II this was not
the case, IL is difficult TO see on what
basis they advertised at all. for no
contract could be intcligently let until
the grades are established. But with
the Olmsted lines as the basis, then
the Commission can proceed fairly and
intelligcntly with tho letting of con-
tracts for excavation and construction.
And doubtless il was on the 0lmsted
lines that the bidders figured.
The contention that the lines and
grades must be changed is, of course,
contention that might reopen the whole
matter, provided it is persisted IN, and
this reopening may involve dangerous
delays in the letting Of the contract.
1t has been understood by the public
OF Salt Lake that everything was ready
for tho letting of contracts for the
construction work on the capitol
The opening of the grade question,
however, would necessarily upset this
understanding, if the Commission docs
not stop 1T.
IL there is any possible way for the
Capitol Commission TO proceed without
further delay it is certainly tho wish
of the Salt Lake public, as well as
in the interest Of the State. that this
should be done; and it is vast annoy
ance TO find at this late date that
the whole matter is unsettled by rea-
son of the contention about grades
If this goes 10 the undoing of tho pre-
limiuary work laid out, IT is, to be
sure, of the utmost importance to have
the capitol constructed on proper lines
and levels But as we say, the sup
position has been that those proper
lines and levels had been laid down
and accepted long ago. To find this
preliminary matter still in state Of ar
contention is disappoint-
ing indeed We trust that the com
mission may ignore the new contention
and proceed without delay
with the letting of the contract

A BITTER TAUNT.

We find in the Detroit Free Press a
bitter saying with regard TO a mixture
OF politics with penitentiary manage
ment, as follows: 'fThe millennium
will not be here until n Governor goes
out Of Office without paying his politi-
cal debts by paroling murdercrs."
1t will be remembered that there was
vicious outbreak in the Micbig gan
State prison, to quell which the State
militia had TO be called out. There
were recriminatiops between Governor
Osborn and the prison management,
and there was evidently much political
feeling and much political intrusion in
the management of the Michigan peni-
tentiary. And now the Free Press ap-
pears openly with the charge that there
is political manipulation with respect
TO the paroling Of murderers. 1t is
dreadful position for a State TO be
in if this intimation OF the Free Press
is correct, and there certainly is a
good deal of outward indication that
the Free Press has in no way over
stated the vicious situation. and has
not intimated in vain that the parol-
ing of murderers may be and is a po.
litical proposition in Michigan. But
surely the statement of a matter Of
this kind ought 10 be the utter con-
demnation Of any system under which
that sort of viciousness can be charged

each; the paper and board mill tire
at Antioch. California, and the pack
ing plant at Indianapolis, Indiana.
1t Will be an encouragement if the
facts do turn out to be as now seem
probable, that there will be shown a
substantial reduction in fire losses this
year as compared with the losses OF
the two previous years, and with that
showing we shall be safe in forecast
ing an even lighter fire loss for the
ensuing year.

THE WAYS OF 1.-THE STREET.

The Banking and Currency Commit
tee of the House of Representatives has

called ''secrcts' Of Wall street in the
way Of manipulating stocks, in build.
ing up or tearing down the market
and in general the antics and devices
of the "bulls'i and the "bcars -
All Of these antics. however, are
fairly understood by the public. 1t
is probably we'll enough for the House
to get the. absolute testimony on this
matter and have tho facts so brought
ont that they Will be available for use
in discussion and legislation as the dis.
cussion may arise or legislation be pro.
posed. But as a matter of fact moth
ing new has been discovered Every
one understood perfectly beforehand
that there was manipulation Of the
market. that there was trickcry. that
there was "long' interest and n
"short' interest In the market. and
that alternately one or the other side got
"squcezed'' aud had to forfeit great
er or less sums TO the winning manipu-
lators
The sensation Of the whole matter is
not anything new, but in making an
official record of well-known facts.
That record may or may not be vam-
able, precisely as Congress may or
may not act on the facts and testimony
brought out. 1t must be confessed that
Congress has not had much success
heretofore in legislation Of this kind.
But possibly the official accumulation
Of evidence may bring such light to
the question that something better may
be evolved in the future than has ever
been thought OF in the past As a gen.
eral rule. however. il is best to let
own way unhampered. So long as it is
free, everyone is left TO his own de
vices without being protected by legis-
lation which builds up on the one side
and tears down or the other. The fluc-
tuations of this sort of trade, If let

with tho clamping Of legislation upon
that business. and the freedom OF this
commercial intercourse cramped it
might be difficult indeed to get at
The proper remedies for any given
abuses. As il is now. the legislation
we have. fortified by the common law,
is usually sufficient to meet any case
that is presented. And we doubt very
much if any practical good will come

the ways of Wall street. which is in
