Roar Of a Lion Heard Five Miles.

In Il rough country, or one otherwise
favorable to the method. a pack OF
lions will often deliberately drive game
into narrow raNines or eal-desacs
where the killers are waiting. At such
times the man favored by the chance
of an encampment within five miles o1
so can hear lions roar.

IMMIGRATION BILL VETO.

| The veto Of the now immi grafton bill
by President Taft Is placed squarely
upon the provision it contains which
fixes the literacy test. The fact that
large portion Of the very best imini-
grafton that tho United States has ever
had came from European countries
where iliteracy very largely prevailed,
and tho immigrants were illiterate. is
no doubt the leading cause OF this veto.
Another is the impractical nature Of
the provision 1t allows the incoming
OF any immigrant who can read aud
write in any Of the known languages of
Europe. These include Italian, French,
Spanish, Basque, Portuguese, Danish,
Norwegian, Swedish, Icelandic, Eskimo,
Gaelic, Welsh, Dutch, High German,
Plattdeutsch, Bohemian, Slovak and
whatever other Czechish dialects there
may be, Polish, Finnish, Lettish, Hun
garinn. Ruthenian, Lithuanian, Cront,
Little. White, and Red Russian, Ruma-
nian, Bulgarian, Seryiau, Albanian (the
only living specimen OF the primeval
language OF Southern Europo), Greek,
and Turkish, not TO mention Armenian,
Persian, Arabic and whatever other
living or piclled tongues may be used
by any one Of the variegated linguistic
throngs that are constantly arriving.
And it would be necessary to have at
the ports where those immigrants land,
experts in these various tongues in or
der to verify the claim of the immi-
grant that he or she can read and write
in any OF these given languages. The
enforcement Of the hteracy test, how
ever, would appear to be impractical.
It Is stated that the friends of the
bill hope to be able to pass 1t over the
President q veto this week. II they do,
it Is to be hoped that they will make
provision for securing experts In all
these languages and in any other
that an immigrant may claim to be
master of, 80 that the law will be made
practical where IL is intended to be en-
forced

MORTGAGE TAX PROTEST..

What has become Of the Constitution
al amendment which excepted mort
Cages from taIationi We ask this
question because OF the hearing which
was held before the joint committee on
revenue and taxation on Friday even
ing TO consider the proposition in the
piratical revenue bill which provides
for a tax On real estate mortgages. We
also have letter which states that at
least ore deputy assessor in this coun-
ty Is insisting that those who have
money loaned upon mortgage must
make return Of that money as money
on hand and taxable. And yet the
people OF this State voted not long
ago, ratifying a Constitutional amend.
ment which exempted mortgages from
taxation. II is q clear case, however,
that II money loaned upon mortgages
is 70 be taxed, that amounts TO the
samo thing as taxing the mortgages;
and we should suppose that any law
passed that would undertake 20 en-
force such taxation would Immediately
run against the snag OF this Consti.
tutional amendment and sink to the
bottom.
But this hearing simply developed
another of the points In this wolfish
tax measure which would necessarily
be so oppressive upon the people. When
ever that measure is touched upon at
any point, it is found always 70 be
oppressive upon the people, and often
TO be unconstitutional. It's general pro-
visions are founded upon series Of
proposed Constitutional amendments
which were defeated at the election
Of last Novemberj and yet this bill
is pushed Just the same as II the Con-
stitution had been amended to allow
Of the operation Of the provisions con-
tanned in il. Gt Is about time that the
legislators woke up to the fact that
these amendments were defeated, and
that any legislation based upon them
lacks tho Constitutional support that
those amendments, II they had been
ratified. would have given But since
they were not ratified, and since the
Constitutional support that would have
given them validity Is entirely swept
away by that failure 70 ratify. the best
possible thing TO do with this bill is
20 dump it in the waste basket

voting for this bin viii receive tbs

A Too-FREsH CRITIC.

Tho smoot organ keeps delirious
lookout for what It may catch In the
way of supposed lnpses In tho editorial
columns Of The Tribune, but It Is so
stupid In criticisms that IL makes a
silly spectacle Of itself. Yesterday
morning, for instance, II presented what
II claimed to be contradiction In our
utterances with respect TO the amend
ment for the election Of q. 8. Senators
direct by the people.
In the third paragraph OF our edi-
torial we declared, in speaking Of the
income tax amendment, that "not one
word can be said In favor Of that re-
lection"
In paragraph five Of the came edi.
torial we declared that "we consid er
that the rejection Of that amendment
for the election Of q. 8. Senators by
the peoplel was entirely proper, not
only for Utah but for any State"
The stupid Smoot critic assumed that
in both cases we were speaking Of the
popular election amendment, and were
guilty Of some sort Of failing mem
ory." The fact that in the third para
graph we were speaking OF the income
tax amendment and in the fifth of the
popular election amendment seems to
havo escaped the attention Of our fec
BILE but malignant contemporary; and
it's oversight led it into the ridiculous
attitude which 1t takes in criticisinc g
hot ~ - hn
assuming that in speaking of two diff
ferent amendments we were speaking
about ono in both cases
When a critic makes spectacle OF
himself such as we here point out, it
is surely time for that critic to amend

THE UPTURN IN MEXICO.

The upturn In Mexico came very
suddenly, and must have been an i'm
meuse surprise TO President Madero
He could hardly have expected that
Diaz would develop such wonderful
strength and tenacity in mere up
rising such as Madero would naturally
suppose the Diaz movement to be; and
and strongly supported revolution.
The irony Of this situation is that
the very clemency which Madero
showed towards Diaz was Madero Is
ruin. II he had followed the example
of the old dictator Diaz, he would have
had both Reyes and Diaz shot at sun
rise the next morning after their cap
ture, and then probably there would
have been no such revolution as this.
1t is likely that if this young revolu-
tionary head gets hold of Madero there
viii be no such clemency in his case
If Madero gets out of the way and
De la Barra or any one else is elected
President of Mexico, either provisional
or otherwise, the question will be
whether Diaz will recognize that Presi
dency. 1t is not likely that Diaz had
undertaken this movement to give
somebody else the Presidency Of Men-
CO. That is a prize that he undoubted-
" expects to reserve for himself, and
so the displacement of Medero and the
filling Of his place by some one else
other than Diaz Is not likely to be q
solution Of the Mexican troubles, But
there is a possibility, Of course, that
young Diaz may have In mind the re
call Of his great uncle and the rein-
statement of the elder Diaz as ruler Of
Mexico.
The Immediate future has interesting
In MEXICO, and the public
Will await with keen interest those de-
velopments. In the meantime It Is an
nounced that the overthrow Of Madero
Is welcome news in Washington. This
is not to be wondered at, since the Ma
dero regime has been weak, uncertain,
and unresponsive to international obi
cations.
The world viii be glad to see the re-
establishment Of a settled government
in Mexico, that will be recognized
throughout the boundaries of that coun-
try and will be acquiesced in by the
insurrectionary leaders. II Is probable
that any government under the Juris-
diction Of Diaz would be 80 recognized
It Is not probable that government
under De IA Barra or any one else
would be so recognized by all Mexico;
for, rs 10 the different rebel chiefs,
each one thinks that he has just Is
much right TO supremacy 50 the other,
and none OF them Is In the least likely
to yield 10 any except to the supreme
name Of Diaz; but whether that name
shall he represented in the restoration
OF the old order under the old dictator,
or through new order under the young
dictator, is the immediate problem Of

ASSURANCE ON INSURANCE.

The business men OF this city will
welcome tho assurance OF Mr.. George
V. Lawry, secretary OF the Fire Un'
derwritcrs, that insurance rates In this
city will be reduced as soon as tho city
government adopts and begins to put
into execution definite plan for wa.
ter supply improvement such rs Is CON
templated.
This viii be q powerful incentive for
the Commission 20 push on in its work
Of adding ~ emergency supply Of wa
ter that will be sufficient for all posi-
BILE needs. The opportunity for adding
such an emergency supply is immcdi'
ately available, and the emergency
supply which this opportunity would
afford is so very great as 70 meet every
possible requirement We refer, Of
course. to the proposed dam aud reser-
voir in Parley's canyon, which would
afford q vast water reserve supply of
the best and purest water that we
could have.
Many pleas coincide to tho point that
this emergency supply of water should
be provided, and that o general sys-
tenn Of water improvement should be
entered upon In a practical way. And
now this assurance from Mr.. Lawry
adds the crowning touch TO tho force
Of the argument in favor of beginning
the work Of getting that water supply

eIecration OF his constituents when
they find out what the bill means, for
1t is the most e1acting, the most search
ing, the most uncomfortable tax bill
that has ever been presented In any
legislature. II was drawn with an eye
single to wrestling from the people
every possible dollar OF taxation. But
taxation is already high enough, most
people think too high. Therefore, q
proposition to immcasurably increase
that taxation and make unlimited de-
mands upon the taxpayers is one that
deserves, and ought to receive, its death
