Law Not Imperative.

Furthermore. the governor takes the
view thar the best interests Of the peo-
pie of the state and of Salt Lake county
are not suffering because of the omis-
sion OF the governor to call n special
election. To hold a special election would
have necessita ted putting in operation
the election machinery of 100 voting dis
trIcts. which, in the governors opinion
would have put the people of the county
to a needless expense. The governor
believes that Salt Lake county Is amply
represented In the legislature He points
out that the dominant party last No
vember elected all the members OF the
Salt Lake county delegation I'm the state
legislature by substantial pluralitIes and
the only effect Il special election would
have would be to add one vote to the
already overwhelming Republican major
ity in the Legislature.
Tn conclusion the governor holds 10
his position Of refusing to call a special
election, lie said that he did not expect
that all men would agree with his po-
sition, but he believed that all unprej-
udced persons would agree with him on
this subject. He said that in case he

setting UP OF a territorial government
and the entrance OF the great northwest
as an integral part OF the United States,
were eloqucntlv told by the speaker.
With a flow OF cloquence and pathos
that eripped his listeners. the Rev Mr..
Goshen told Of the massacre at the mis-
sion, where Whitman was struck down
and literally cut TO pieces while attend
ing the sick; OF the murder OF his wife
and twelve others. and of the horrible
brutaNtiea that followed. In concluding
his lecture. the Rev. Mr.. Goshen said:
The great northwest was not Sc
cured by conquest, nor saved by
the clash cf arms. II was not wrested
from the nations by the far-seelng
policy of clever statesmen who saw
its worth far in advance OF It's i'm
medintc need. IL was saved to
America by the heroism, the sacri-
flee and the r-sightedness OF the

DRAWS HIS LESSON
FROM CALIFORNIA
Orson H. Hewlett Declares
Utahns May Profit by Ex-
emplified Boost Spirit.

That the rapid upbuilding of greater
Utah Will be largely In proportion to the
spirit OF its citizens in community boost
ing, cooperation and reciprocation, and
also TO the extent that home industries
are supported. Is the opinion OF Orson
II. Hewlett, a prominent local manufac-
turer who has returned from d three
weeks trip to the Pacific coast.
Mr.. Hewlett declares the excellent COM
munity spirit In southern California and
also the home Industry spirit there are
prime factors in the building up OF that
section. He also asserts that there are
better opportunities In Utah In practi
cally every line, which can be turned to
personal advantage and TO the marvellous
development OF city and state, provided
Utah people put the same amount OF
life and energy into their business deal

Good Progress Made.

Some Of the bills that were expected
TO give a deal of trouble have been
safely and expeditiously disposed Of.
Notable among this number was the
fish and game bill. Every legislature
from the beginning has wrestled days
and weeks with the fish and game bill
This year the house and senate COM
mittees put in long nights in consider

house last week it had been numerous

stood the test and was passed within
two hours.
The liquor bills have been disposed

that is another source of qualification.

as it was feared it might be when the
subject was touched at all,
The big thing now on the house cal.

alton Of minimum wage scale for
women. 1t is almost a certainty that
the consideration Of that measure on
the floor Of the house will call for much
discussion. 1t is in position on the cal
endar for comparatively early action.
