SAMUEL NEWHOUSE
HOME FROM EUROPE
Enterprising Salt Lake Man Is
Fairly Bubbling With
Optimism.

Fairly bubbling with optimism and en-
thusiasm and wearing a cheerful smile.
Samuel Newhouse was greeting his
friends in Salt Lake City yesterday Mr.
Newhouse has Just returned from ten
months stay in Europe.
Mr.. Newhouse predicts a season oil
prosperity for the United States albeit
he is OF the opinion that the country ha s
reached temporary halting place. Speak
ing OF this condition he said In part;
1t Is a fact that we have struck
haltlng period In our national de-
velopment, but We must remember
that the United States Is the richest
and strongest nation In the world.
There is not another country on
earth that Is able to add billions to
It's wealth each year and continue 10
do t..
The funda mental cause OF the pres
ent slackcning In business affairs Is
the European war and the financial
difficulty that always follows n war.
Austria, for instance was all excited
over the Balkan troubles. This Is
being pretty well remedied now. but
IT was 4 drawback TO business. So It
has been throughout Europe. II has
cost money to finance the wars and
lots OF money has been tied up.
This condition has caused many OF
the countries on the other side 10
throw securities on the market. This
has had a depressing effect; further
more, il Is probable that on account
OF the income tax some OF the rich
have decided not 10 carry as many
securities as formerly and have real
iZed on them.
During his absence from Utah Mr.
| Newhouse said that he had kept In con
stant touch with Salt Lake through thu
newspapers and that he was hghl,
| plea sed to find that a number OF large
| structures In the business district and
| large number of homes In the residenc
| districts had been completed.

Vivid Picture Drawn.

Governor Ammons pictured the lndi-
vidual homesteader and rancher here
and there upon the broad acres of the
western country, striving for a lust and
honorable livelihood, but baked at
every step by the powerful lobby at
| Washington and by what he termed the
! unjustifable, unreasonable and imper-
ialistic policies OF the national govern
ment.
"It is a long way to Washington
from the western states and the poor
ranchers and homesteaders cannot af-
ford to 90 there 10 protect their inter
ests, but their enemies. the big inter
ests, are always there with their dim
ners and their banquets and their press
bueraus, plotting against the men OF the
west, - he said.
.Thev talk of conservation of nat
ural resources for future generations. Is
land living idle in the public domain,
prohibited from cultivation, going to do
the future generation any goodg Are
great mineral deposits, untouched be-
cause the restraining hand of an lmper-
ialistic administration, going to beneht
them9 Certainly not. 1t IS ridiculous
theory. Throw open that land. cult,
vate IL. build prosperous cities In and
about it, dig out the wealth of the eter
nal hills and send it into the great
channels of commerce and all the world
and all the future generations will be
benefited far more than by allowing all
this wealth to lie undeveloped and USE
less. Lands under cultivation are more
valuable than those that arc not and
its value increases with the years OF It's
cultivation,
Directing his remarks particularly to
the representatives Of the department
of the interior, Governor Ammons out
lined a broad, constructive policy for
the development of the west, unham-
pered by useless and calling regulation.
He declared that every acre of land
within the national forest reserves
should be eliminated and opened for
cultivation, unless that land is more
valuable as forest land than as agricul-
tural land He advocated state rights
and state control of the lands in so far
rs the good Of the individual states was
concerned, and declared in favor of
turning the remainder of the public do
main over to the states that it might
be developed properly and without un-
called for hindrance by the national
government,

of what the Carey act has done for the
west. He said that the land laws OF
the United States had made Americs
a nation of farmers, and the further
of the west depended largely upon the
lind Of legislation enacted for the con
troll of the public domain.
Governor Tasker l.. Oddie Of Nevada
told of reclamation work in his state
he pleaded for larger patronage for the
west from the national government fol
reclamation work.
Today the governors will devote
themselves TO the adoption of rosolu

government their views as 10 what

Governor Ammons was the first speaker
! at the morning session yesterday For
an hour and half he spoke with earn
est eloquence against what he declared
TO be the wrongs and injustices that are
forced upon the western states by the
men In control of national affairs. With
score OF instances OF this injustice he
built up a scathing arraignment OF the
policies In operation up 10 the present
of what he believed to be the remedies
for existing evils.
Governor Ammons told particularly of
the injustice that had been done in his
state by the establishment Of forest re-
serves. which included great tracts Of
valuable agricultural land Settlement
upon these lands, while not actually for
hidden under the law, has been so dis
couraged and frowned upon by the men

Carey Last Speaker.

Governor Carey Of Wyoming was the

He declared that the desire Of ma
tion 10 increase its population and the
ness and make fertile soil out OF millions
OF acres of barren land We're the forces
that Influenced him In fathering the IA
nous Carey act bill. In discussing tho
act Governor Carey said in part:
II simply means the granting OF
lands that are arid-such lands as
will not produce crops without arti-
ficial irrieation-to certain states
having within their borders large
bodies OF unappropriated public lands.
on condition that the states cause
the lands to be reclaimed and settled
by actual settlers in tracts not eN
ceeding l6O acres TO each Individual.
There are in course OF redemption
In all the states probably 5000. 600
acres under the act. We have every
faith that the unfavorable conditions
tered will he removed in the future
and that the friction which has
arisen between the state authorities
and the authorities OF the United
States will be found not 10 exist in
the future. I believe that fully 90
o00.ooo acres can be redeemed in the
arid land states under the act.

opposed the request for a continuance.
He declared that the law allowed Sixty
days In which TO make motion for a
new trial upon affidaNits Of newly dis
covered evidence, but said he no rea-
son why the other parts OF the motion

Mr. Walton argued at length on alleged
errors OF law. alleged misconduct OF coun-
sci for the state during the trial and at
the time argument was made before the
jury. He argued that the testimony Of
Ethel Pace was improper and should not

assistant district attorney, T. T. Farms
worth. In bis address TO the jury was
improper when he addressed the defen-
dant during the course OF his argument.
He declared that the verdict was con-
trary TO law and contrary TO the evi-
dence: that the fact that Inflow did not
take the stand in his own defense did not
argue that he was guilty Of murder, or
any other crime. nor did the fact that
his wife did not take the stand argue
that the defendant was guilty.
