SELFISH AND NARROW.

In discussing the attitude Of the
Brotherhood of Trainmen in their
threatened strike in the East, 1t is
said that its president gave out the
statement that at is not the concern
of the trainmen on the Eastern lines
that the increase of the wages they
are demanding would cost $17,000,000
annually 1t may be that he did not
say this, but such is the report in the
Eastern newspapers. But if he did
say it, he certainly had very selfish,
crude, and limited view of the situa-
tion, For, it Is not simply question
between the Brotherhood Of Railway
Trainmen and the railroads, but it is
question vitally affecting the public,
since the public must pay this ST..
100000.
If it were simply question of the
Brotherhood Of Trainmen holding up
the railroad companies for this amount
Of money, and that were all of it, then
the public might not have much inter
est in the matter, or care TO be heard
in regard to it. But since it is an alb.
solute certainty that the railroads
would have to pay this s17,o00,ooO in
increased railway charges, then it is
plain case that the public is the mos,
interested of all in the contention.
This statement attributed to the
president OF the Brotherhood of Rail.
way Trainmen deserves TO be nut
alongside the statement attributed to
the elder Vanderbilt, when it was rep
resented to him that the public would
oppose certain railway encroachments,
and he replied, "The public be DID,
That sort Of talk, whether from the Of.
flcers of the railway employees or
garlzation or from the railway man
ayers themselves, is absolutely wrong.
and should be denounced by the masses
OF the railway employees and by the
railway managers, as it certainly must
be denounced by the public at large.
That sort OF talk from either side can
i'll be tolerated by generous public,
that stands much, and is always called
upon to pay the cost resulting from
these disputes.

COUNTY TAX TOO HIGH.

The statement is made that the
County Commissioners OF Salt Lake
county has just made the same old
tax levy as last year-13 mills. 1t
will be remembered that for given
purpose several years ago, the county
tax levy was raised some two mills
above the rate that had given suffi-
cient revenue heretofore The under
standing was at the same time that
the rate would be put back TO the old
figure as soon as the exigency that
called for the raise had passed. But
there has been no reduction; the rate
is yet maintained ct - mills. This
gave the County Commissioners so
much money last year and there was
such an accumulation of cash in the
county treasury that the Commission.
ers concluded to build a County Hos
pital, that was not in any way needed
and that is sheer waste Of money.
1t viii cost more to keep up that hos
pital, to say nothing of the cost Of the
building and the interest on the money
to build and furnish it, than it would
have cost to have all the county pa
tients treated at hospitals in this city,
The money so expended was a sheer
public loss, and yet APPARENTLY it was
expended for no other reason than
that the Commissioners had the money
and did not know what else to do
with it,
And now it is proposed, in spite of
the enormously increased tax valua.
tion, to keep up the same tax levy OF
l3 mills. The valuation OF Salt Lake
county has increased some $4,000 900
this year over last, the total assess
ment roll carrying for 1918 valua-
tion of $90,693,42S. At l3 mills on
the dollar that would give revenue to
the county of almost 81, 100000
There is no sense whatever in keep
ing up taxation like this. The county
