A GRAFT HEADED OFF,

The action of the lower house of the
Utah Legislature yesterday In defeat
ing the "public utilities bill, so called,
was good work for the State. AS was
brought out in the hearing before the
committee, there is so little for such 4
commission TO do in this State, and the
general history of commissions of that
kind is so bad, that Utah cannot afford
to indulge in this grating luxury.
The vote by which the measure was
defeated was decisive one, and it is 10
be hoped that this is the last that will
be heard of this measure during the
present session,
The proposition for commission OF
this sort, which, under whatever name
it appears, is designed simply as a po.
litical graft upon the railroads, has ap.
peared in successive Utah Legislatures
for many years. Fortunately for the
State, it has always been defeated. and
we are glad to see it defeated now.
Those who were instrumental in defeat
ing il are entitled to the good will and
thanks of the people Of Utah,

EMBAssADoR WILSON'S BREAK.

If it is true, as reported from Mex
ico, that AMBASSADOR Wilson admits his
intrigue with General Huerta and Felix
Daz for the overturning of the Ma
dero government, he has committed
very grave international offense. We
have been disposed TO think that EN-
bassador Wilson was a valuable repre-
sentative of his Government in Mexico.
He was evidently Jealous in the pro-
lection Of American interests and in
the care and protection which he e1.
tended to Americans in peril, But if he
has been guilty of conniving with insur-
gents for the overthrow of the exist
ing government to which he was accred-
ited no plea that he can make that
the overturn of that government was
advantageous to American interests
will avail We do not send Embassa-
dors TO any country TO meddle in the
domestic affairs of that country, much
less to put down the existing govern
ment to which that ambassador is sent,
no matter how advantageous he may
consider the change TO be. The only
exception that we recall to the absolute
rule that ambassadors to foreign coun-
tries must keep their hands off the in
ternal affairs of those countries is the
case where President Cleveland sent
Mr.. Blount of Georgia to Hawaii to
overthrow the government which had
deposed the royal dynasty in that fake
monarchy. Mr., Blount was accredited
to President Dole, who was at the head
of the established and republican gov
ernment in Honolulu, and was enjoined
to haul down the American flag and
withdraw American protection from the
government of President Dole, while
Blount was accredited TO President Dole
as President Cleveland "great and
good friend.' But the deposed royal
rule was impossible. The interests OF
the progressive people and progressive
business in Hawaii could not be induced
to consent to the establishment OF
the old dynasty, and upon the change
of government the Mckinley admins.
tration promptly recognized the change
and incorporated Hawaii as a Terri
torial appendage of the United States
Nothing OF this kind is possible in
Mexico, however; and as the interfer-
ence Of Mr. Blount was repudiated not
only by Hawaii but by the United
States, so the interference of Embas-
sador Wilson must be repudiated by
this country as well as denounced in
Mexico. There would be no sense Of
security or good faith whatever if our
ambassadors were permitted to engage
in intrigues Of the sort now attributed
to Embassador Wilson; and unless he
is able to clear his skirts from compi-
city In the overthrow Of the Madero
government, it will be the duty of the
present administration to remove him

LANE AND CONSERVATION.

When the Cabinet of President Will
son was announced, there was a sug-
gestion of criticism of the appointment
of Mr.. Lane of California TO be Secre-
tary Of the interior. II was stated that
he was thoroughly devoted to the con-
servation fad In its most ultra features,
going fully as far as even Pinchot
would 20 in the faddy notion that the
United States Government ought TO re-
strict the Development of all this West
ern and mountain region by withhold
ing the natural resources Of the coun-
their activities.
The Tribune said that there ought
not to be any criticism Of this kind
until Mr.. Lane had done something
that deserved to be criticised. The
probability that he may range himself
as Cabinet officer on the side of the
Pinchot fads, does not seem TO be very
likely in view of the Democratic par
ty's National platform on the conser~
vation proposition, which reads as fol
lows:
We believe In the conservation and the
development for the use OF all the people
of the natural resources of the country.
Our forests. cur sources OF water supply.
our arabic and our mineral la nds and our
navigable streams and all the other ma
terial resources with which our country
has been so laViShly endowed constitute
the foundation OF our national wealth.
Such additional legislation as may be
necessary to prevent their being wasted
or absorbed by special OF privileged inter-
ests should be enacted and the policy OF
their conservation should be rlgidly ad-
hered to.
The public domain should be admins
tered and disposed OF with due regard TO
the general welfare. Reservations should
be limited to the purposes which they
purport to serve, and not extended to in
cludc land wholly unsuited therefor. The
unnecessary withdrawal from sale and
settlement of enormous tracts OF public
land upon which tree growth never ex-
listed and cannot be promoted tends only
10 retard development, create discomfort.
and bring reproaoh upon the policy of
conservation
The public land laws should be admin
istered In spirit OF the broadcast liberal
ty towards the settler exhibiting "A bona

Congress TO make available the vast and

If Mr.. Lane as Secretary Of the In
terror will faithfully live up to that
declaration OF policy and principles
with respect to the public domain and

wealth, nobody in the West will have
any reason TO complain,

A SHREWD MOVE.

There is nothing especially new in
the proposition Of President Wilson to
free himself from office seekers i'm
portunitics and to say that be will let
every Cabinet Secretary attend to the
appointment Of officers within the iuris-
dictiou Of his department. This has fire.

tial programme But the trouble is
that the Presidents. as a rule, arc not
able to adhere TO that programme, for
members of Congress, and especially
Senators. are insistent in carrying dis
putcd contests for office TO the Prcsi
dent direct, and at times il is practi.
cally impossible for the President to
refrain from overruling in some spe-
cial case the decision of q member of
his Cabinet.
Still, if President Wilson can ad-
here to this programme il will be a
shrewd move on his part; for he will

in that way measurably escape blame
for unfit appointments, and he viii
free himself from an immensity Of ex-
acting labor which would consume his
time TO no general purpose. The feel
ing Of power, however, and the delight
in exercising that power, has usually
been sufficient to overcome any prelim-
mary determination arrived ut by
President that he would not interfere
in the appointing Of officials, but would
leave the whole matter TO his Cabinet
subordinatcs. The determination OF
President Wilson to thus refer all ap'
plicants for appointment is not new,
but if he is able to adhere strictly to
this announced programme then his
action herein will, indeed be unique

is entrusted with the carrying out Of

that some confidence may be placed in

thrown away to crafty the political

official who wishes to clinch his hold

much Federal money as possible paid

MISPLACED SAVINGS PLAN,

Inc leDLer ana proposal or secretary
Of State Mattson with regard to limit.
ing the expenditures on the State capi-
tol is like the charge of bull in a
china shop. 1t is destructive, not con-
in all respects. Doubtless Mr.. Mattson
is not in favor Of erecting the State
capitol at this time at all: or else he
wants TO set '!back fire. on some
proposition. A considerable sentiment
in this State is of that opinion, and Mr..
Mattson is from n section Of the State
where that feeling is very strong.
Therefore, his letter and proposition to
reduce as much as possible the capitol
expenditures must be taken as coming
from an idea hostile Altogether to the
capitol, or else, as suggested, he wants
to call off some activity to which he
is opposed.
1t is manifest that no creditable cap
itol can be erected in this State for
81, 100000 on tho plans that have been
adopted. If the Legislature should by
any freak notion accept the Mattsou
proposition, it would be a good idea
for the Capitol Commission to stop pro-
cedure altogether, pay such damages
as are fair to the contractors, aud post.
pone the capitol proposition until some
more favorable time.
1t has been known from the first
and The Tribune called attention to il
frequently in considering the long de
lays Of the Capitol Commission, that
there would likely be some adverse
proposition sprung upon the Legisla,
ture against the capitol unless more
speedy work were manifested than the
Capitol Commission had shown. Ana
here we have it. Mr. Mattson does not
want creditable capitol to be built
for the State of Utah, if his letter is
to be taken at its face value. If the
Legislature agrees with him, the State
administration should certainly call
halt, for it will be NO credit to the ad-
ministration or to the State TO build
an inferior structure on the splendic
site which is owned by the State.
The act Of Secretary Mattson indi-
Gates lack Of harmony in the State
administration, which, in itself, is dis.
advantageous to the State; and we
trust that the Legislature will not be
swayed by any mock plea for economy,
which is really an evidence of hostility
to the construction of the capitol, and
is not in fact matter of economy at
all, or it springs from hidden motive.
of the plan for the construction of the
capitol, having been unable to head off
the contract for that construction,
would now be glad to do something
that would make the whole capitol
movement ridiculous, and put up a
structure of which the whole State
would be forever ashamed; this or a
secret purpose that in fact relates to
else.
We can conceive that Legislature
might be willing to postpone the con-
strution of a capitol but it would be
difficult, indeed, to account for a Leg
islature that, seeing the construction
of a capitol already contracted for,
would deliberately take steps to mutt
late the capitol plans and to give us O
structure which, in finishing and fur"
nishings, might be just subject of
contempt Nor do we imagine for one
moment that the Legislature will take
