But the main point is that the Board
would by this bill be made a partisan
board, two Republicans and one Demo

the parties, two of each. the Board be.

never be partisan as il would be in this

titled to fair representation on board

Of few men always leads to abuses,
and this bill is drawn with peculiar
fitness for such concentration and
abuse.
But the final. the overwhelming OBJ
lection to this bill is that it embraces,
for the most part, those provisions OF
the tax commission report made last
fall which were intended to be put in
effect in case the Constitutional amend
ments which wore relied upon by the
tax commission as a foundation for
the recommendations made, had been
adopted; but the people of this State,
scenting the danger Of adopting those
amendments, and fearing the increased
therefrom, overwhelmingly defeated
them. Tn defeating those amendments
which were drawn up by the tax COM
mission, and were in effect part OF

no uncertain terms their disapproval

We conclude, therefore, that the peo.

expressed their disapproval of the work

TO BETTER THE RACE.

Bills prepared under the direction Of
Secretary Bentty of the State Board
of Health are prepared for legislative
action. These bills look to the protec-
tion and purity of the States water
supplies, regulating marriages from the
standpoint Of health, providing guards
for the prev ention of the spread of tu-
berculosis, and creating q commission
to plan for State tuberculosis santa.
rum, and other matters originating with
the State Board Of Health. The pur-
pose Of all these bills is good. They
contemplate the preservation Of the
health Of the people and the improve
ment Of the race by the marriage of
the fit and the placing Of restrictions
upon the marriage Of the unfit. AS to
the latter, 1t is chiefly question Of
possibility. Never before in the history
Of the world has there been such an
invasion Of the vitality Of the race as
now. This invasion is directly trace
able to the efficiency Of the life saving
appliances Of modern medical sci

the populations in turn perpetuate

BUSINESS AND TRADE.

The week has been exceedingly busy
in activity OF real estate aud building
reports. a glass factory. plato mills.
and additions and extensions to other
industrial plants are projected and new
structures are planned.
The reported intention Of the Salt
Lako & Ogden and Salt Lake & Utah
Electric Railways TO have their union
station on the west side Of Main
street, near South Temple. has caused a
furry of activity in the real estate sit
uation in that district; and il the
location should be as indicated there
is no doubt of the great business i'm
portance of that location.
The pending purchase Of property
north Of the Deseret National and Des-
eret Savings Banks waits only tho &C.
ton of the court to be carried out.
On the completion of this deal it is the
intention of the banks named to de-
molish their present building and the
one adjoining it on the north, and erect
@ skyscraper on the site.
The Clayton Investment Company is
endeavoring TO obtain from the United
Cigars Stores Company the relinquish-
ment of It's lease on the Godbe corner,
the intention of the Clayton Invest
ment Company being to construct on
that corner n large business block.
Col. N. w Clayton Is expected home
before long, and this plan will, 1t is
expected, be expedited on his coming.
It is expected that the Utah National
Bank on the corner west will move into
this new Clayton building when it is
put up. The Salt Lake Security &
Trust Company owns the corner where
the Utah National Bank now is, and
is understood to have in mind the
change from its present quarters to the
National Bank corner with the proba
bility Of the construction there, also,
Of fine modern business block
The bill before the Legislature which
allows of the assessing upon property
owners the cost Of paving street inter
sections is attracting good deal of in
terest among the property owners.
Those who urge it hardest insist that
it will be great stimulant to public
improvements, and that the property
owners can well afford to bear the cost
OF such Improvement, as their property
would be largely benefited thereby.
It is understood that the contracts
for building the new State capitol will
be signed tomorrow, the delay having
been caused through the adjustment of
specifications with respect to certain
changes that the commission has re-
solved to make.

THE PUTUMAYo HORRORS.

1t will be remembered that some
months ago shocking reports came from
the Putumayo district in Peru where
rubber companies were operating and
where they had virtually enslaved the
native Indians, debauched their women
and instituted such a reign of slaugh-
ter, annibilation, blood, and terror as
had scarcely ever been known among
mankind. The reports exceeded even
the gross abuses on the Kongo under
that vile old wretch, King Leopold of
Belgium. A British commissioner made
candid and straightforward reports of
these shocking Putumayo abuses, and
when his report was printed the Peru
Wan government also made investiga'
tion and reported that the abuses
spoken of had been stopped, and that
a reign Of law and decency had sue
ceeded. The United States Govern
ment was invited to make an investiga-
tion on it's own account, and the Amer
lean consul at Iquitos, Peru, Mr., Stew
art j. Fuller, was directed to proceed
to the scene, make Investigation, and
report. He went, investigated, and his
report has now been received and given
to the public. 1t confirms the awful
things reported by the British COM
Of them; but Mr.. Fuller agrees in the
main with the Peruvian report, that
the Peruvian government has taken
steps to abatc the abuses and suppress
the evils, though much remains to be
done. The Putumayo district, Mr.. Full
Ter reports, is too remote to be readily
relieved as 1t should be, and that
though protection of Peruvian law and
the administration Of Justice is asserted
as effective therein, the system of debt
Missions, especially Of the Roman Cath
olic church, are in the district, and
more are to be put in, and it is ex
pected that these missions will rein
force the efforts Of the government to
protect the natives and to bring the
district into better condition.
1t is satisfaction to see that
throughout the report of Mr. Fuller tho
excessively cruel abuses are spoken OF
mostly as Of the past. What is stated
as existing today is chiefly the result
Of debt peonage, and Is liable to gross
abuse This is certainly not salts
factory situation, but with respect to
those horrors previously reported the
testimony is that they have been much
abated.
Tho fact that British companies were
involved in the shocking brutahtlcs
and savageries reported made sensa-
tion in Great Britain, and Canon Hen
son denounced them SO roundly that an
attorney of one of the British com
panies threatened him with prosecu-
ton. His defiant answer, however, an
nouncing his readiness to meet any
charges, put an effectual stopper upon
the idea that he was TO be prosecuted
for his denunciation Of thosc evils com
mitted by agents of British companies
The Putumayo horrors form an evil
chapter Of American history, but they
hnve now been abated, according to the
official report and the testimony Of the
accredited agents Of the Peruvian gov

A still further increase Of about 1S..
100000 pounds in the domestic visible
copper supply during January, and aa
unexpected increase in the production
Of copper over December, were the two
most striking features Of the January
statistics OF the American Copper Pro
ducers' Association, released on Fri
day. This increase in tho available
stocks was slightly less than that of
December, md Is due TO the fact that
neither tho domestic nos the foreign
consumer Of copper is entering the mar

needs for tho immediate future.
The worlds copper stocks still are
comparatively low, but the consumer
evidently feels that the ability TO pro.

uncertainty surrounding the copper

So many proofs Of the necessity OF
Utah mining men organizing for their

given of recent months that the for

there is no doubt but that the Utah
ore producer has slept too long already
on his rights.
