WOULD ALLOW YOUTH
OF LAND TO COMPETE
West Point superintendent Proposes
Radical Change In Appointment
Of Cadets.

WASHINGTON, Oct. l1,-Strong op-
position to abatement OF the severity
of examinations at the military acad-
envy is voiced by Superintendent Col
onel Townsley in his annual report just
made public. He points out that there
has been a steady increase in the pro-
portion OF applicants appearing for ex-
animation who pass, and also of the
number Of cadets who graduate from
the academy, as compared with the
number Of entrants
To insure full utilization Of the edu'
cational advantages Of the academy, the
superintendent suggests d radical
chnngo in the method of appointing ca
diets through senators and representa-
tives. He would throw these desirable
places open TO the youth of the nation
as the result of competitive examinpa-
tions TO be conducted by boards in the
various sections of the country and sue
cessful candidates would thus be re-
lieved from the necessity Of passing en-
trance examinations TO the academy.
Colonel Townsley asserts that only a
/, per cent of tho officers Of the army arc
West Pointers. This, ho believes, could
be corrected If the academy were filed
| to its capncity for 81 few years.

That the Salt Lake assay Office will

May, chief clerk OF the local Office, last
night. When the above dispatch from
the Washington correspondent Of The

do not doubt but that the fail
ure Of the amendment to pass will
necessitate the closing Of the mint
in Carson City and the assay offices
in Boise, Helena and Deadwood.
They havr taxes, rent and other e1-
penses to meet which would prob
ably be sufficient TO use UP the

In Salt Lake, however, we have
recently moved into the federal
building, cutting oR tho $500
year rent, which we formerly paid.
With this item cut out believe we
viii have enough to keep the local
Office operating until the end Of the
fiscal year, June 30. After that
there will probably be the new aP-
preparation. Had it not been for
our removal into the federal build
ing we would undoubtedly have had
to close in February.
