Contention of Board.

The contention of the state land board
that sections OF school land had been sold
and patented and thereafter the general
land office had allowed entries of some
kind so as 20 deprive the state Of title
to some lands and to leave the purchaser
from the state without remedy save BY
special state legislation, Is then touched
upon The committee asks II tho in
stances cited would have occurred had
the la nd board held the opinion that the
state Is not entitled to mineral lands In
the land boards present frame Of mind
holding that mineral lands are not re-
served from state grant, the committee
asks 'if II Is surprising that the state
land board should have deliberately sold
mineral land7" 1t then cites the land
department rule that no person may
make a mineral entry or obtain a United
States patent for mineral land within a
school section without due notification by
tho register and receiver OF the local land
office to the state land board. and the
giving OF full opportunity to the state land
board to make such objection ns II may
see proper to such mineral patent being
granted The committee adds that II Is
safe to assume that. where any portion
OF q school section has been patented as
been shown that 1t was land to which the
sfnfe had no right. To protect the pur-
chaser. the committee suggests that the
state legislature may direct by law that

Information Questioned.

In reply. the committee questions the
fullness Of the sena tors information on
grounds that, despite the decisions cited
the land board and the attorney general
Of Utah always have and do now con-
tend that mineral lands were not In any
wise excepted. reserved or withheld from
the school grant. The committee adds
that 1t Is reliably informed that the land
board and the attorney general intend to
have the question determined by the
United States supreme court, by carrying
before that tribunal a case now pending
in the local federal court against A. A:
Sweet, II then suggests that in lieu Of
the words Ito be of tha character so
granted" IN the proposed bill. Senator
Smoot insert "to be selected from non
mineral public lands" The committee
says that this amendment can result In
no harm should the supreme court sus-
tain the land boards contention. because
the proposed bin guards the rights of the
state by providing that nothing therein
shall be construed to postpone time OF at
tachment of the grant Of said land un-
der existing law.

Young Women at University
of Utah Decline to En-
ter the Contest.

kt"HE best laid plans" ETC.,
once wrote Bobbie Burns,
and as an apt illustration of
the words Of the greatest of
the Scotch poets one is able to cite
the experiences of the Commercial club
committee which has as its duty the
choosing of two of the Salt Lake coun-
ty representatives for the state fair
beauty contest.
On Wednesday the committee, which
has charge of the local beauty contest
plans, met at the Commercial club,
'Pick winners" was its watchword.
The slogan was an excellent one, the
local beauty field was admittedly fer
tile, the entire schemes presented many
possibilities.
= And right there the committee
stumbled. How was it to be executedi
Picking beauties may not be such a
hard task for the individual man, but
when that man is advertised as one of
the pickers, and when his selection is
to be placed On view before hundreds
Of his friends, then it, a horse of a
different color.
Decides to "Pass Buck"
And in desperation the committee
resolved to coyly "pass the buck, -
such passing the buck meaning to give
someone else the opportunity of win
ming fame.
"Ha! Hal" said one member. tWe
will let President j. T. Kingsbury
choose twelve beauties from the Uni
versity and Principal George Eaton
pick dozen from the Salt Lake High
school. Then from the twenty-four we
will choose two"
"Fine" chorused his fellows, and
forthwith the plan was adopted.
F, S. Murphy was chosen as the. one
best bet to deliver the committee Is plan
to President Kingsbury. The latter lis
tened attentively-then called other
members Of the faculty of the school
into consultation. Individually, collec-
lively, in fact unanimously the profes-
sors frowned on the plan, both 'figura-
lively and literally, and the thermo-
a rapid toboggan toward zero.
Ray of Hope Appears.
But
There was a ray Of hope. President
Kingsbury would place the plan before
the executive board of the student ]
body. The student body itself had |
learned the lesson Of the little buck |
and at once hit upon an admirable idea |
the girls themselves should be con-
suited. And so in a council of war the |
field of possible winners was scanned |
and the eligible list summoned to
class room.
Mr.. Murphy made an eloquent speech |
to the young women. He explained all |
the advantages Of being an entrant in
such contest.
.'Why, the winner will be given a
SI5 gown; she will be driven to and |
from the state fair in her own carriage,
She would have four maids as attend
ants. Oh-tbe picture was most al
Turing one.
But
Fifteen minutes later. Mr.. Murphy
FASTENED from the campus. He, too.
was frowning and the thermometer of
his hopes had its bottom knocked out.
The temperature Of the turn-down
which his plan had received was frigid
to the nth degree.
At tho high school, Principal Eaton
listened to the plan attentivcly-and
smiled. Oodles Of Joys gleefully chased
the little glooms away. Hero at last was
a man who perceived the possibilities OF

ATTITUDE
ON CURRENCY LAW
Will Vote Against Meas
ure ON Final Passage
Unless Changes Are
Made; Regards Tariff
Bill as Thoroughly
Bad; No Immediate
Effect in Utah.

Colonel Theodore Roosevelt will be
candidate for the Republican nomi-
nation for president in 1916. with an
excellent chance Of being successful.
This is the opinion expressed to
United States Senator George SutheY-
land, who is here from Washington,
during the lulI between the passage of
the tariff bill and the debate on the
currency bill.
This Is the first suggestion from an
authoritative source Of the likelihood of
Colonel Roosevelt returning to the Re-
publican party and again seeking its
leadership. 1t comes with peculiar force
from Senator Sutherland because Of the
fact that the senator is one of the lead
ers of the conservative Republican forces
In the senate Senator Sutherland was
opposed to the nomination of Roosevelt
at the Chicago convention and vigor-
ously opposed his election last fall.
Senator Sutherland did not go SO far
as to say that he would support Roose-
vet's nomination, but he did say that
he believed Roosevelt would be nomi-
mated. These are the indications which
Senator Sutherland declares point to the
successful candidacy OF Colonel Roose-
welt for the Republican nomination:
First-The Progressives are returning
In great numbers to the Republican par
ty and they will practically all be back
in the Republican party In 1916. This
Is shown by elections in Michigan, Mis-
,-l A7afp
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1913-09-19
Advantage to Roosevelt.

Second-The Progressives polled a
larger vote in 1912 than the Republicans
and the strength Of the Progressives
who return to the Republican party with
the friends OF Roosevelt already In the
party will probably be sufficient in the
1916 convention 10 give Roosevelt the
nomination Presidential preferential
primaries In an Increased number OF
states will be to the advantage Of Roose-
velt
Third-Roosevelt. himself. has al
ready practically deserted the Progress
slve party. He took no part in the
Progressive campaign In the recent
Maine election and gave the Progress
sives there no word Of encouragement
lie will leave soon for South America
to be gone until after the congressional
elections OF 1914. and without his per-
sonal leadership the Progressive party
will rapidly disintegrate. Roosevelt is
a shrewd politician. quick to see the
trend Of events. and he Is probably
planning to take advantage OF what
seems to be the opportunity for him
to seize the leadership OF the Repuh-
lican party and secure the nomination.
While Senator Sutherland is the first
Republican of prominence to advance the
suggestion OF Roosevelt as the Republi-
can candidate for president in 1916. ne
believes that his opinion as TO the like
lihood OF Roosevelts candidacy is shared
oy many other prominent Republicans

No Special Session.

Senator Sutherland declared last night
that he was OF the belief that special
session OF the state legislature TO pro-
vide for an election of United States
senator to succeed Senator Smoot at the
expiration of the latter's term on March
4, 1915, will prove unnecessary. AS a
member OF a special subcommittee or
the committee ON privileges and cleo
tons Senator Sutherland has prepared a
draft OF a federal enactment which Will
provide the manner OF holding elections
for United States senators In states
where the state legislatures have not
provided the necessary election machinery.

eral contitution. United States senators
are to be chosen by popular vote. Sena-
tors In thirly-two states are to be chosen

Mines Committee of the Com
mercial Club Takes Issue
With Senator on Land
Measure.
WILL BE CONSIDERED
AT MEETING MONDAY
Governor Spry, Attorney
General Barnes and Other
Interested Persons Will
Be in Attendance.

In spite of the fact that Senator
Smoot explained his position on bill
No. 29ll, designed to give further as
surance to title of lands granted to the
several states in aid OF public schools,
In a lengthy letter to the mines COM
mittee Of the Commercial club, which
had previously taken issue with the
senator, the committee still contends
that the senator's position is wrong
and that the proposed bill contains
many errors that should be corrected.
In long letter prepared by Attor-
ney E. w. Senior the position of the
committee is set forth and suggestions
for amendments are made.
The reply to the senator was pre-
sented to the committee at its meet
ing yesterday, accepted, and today
will be submitted to the board Of gov
ernors of the Commercial club for its
consideration. Monday, q meeting of
the committee will be held to which

tary Of the state land board, Governor

nors and others Interested in mining
or school lands, will be invited.

Letter Is Reviewed.

In opening It's report the committee
calls attention to the conclusion Of the
senator's letter to the mining committee
In which he declared that he would be
pleased to have the committee present
In detail any objections which 1t might
have to the proposed bill, II after receipt
OF his letter. 1t still considered that the
proposed measure was injurious to the
miner and Drospector and unfair TO the
mining industry of the west The COM
mittee then takes occasion to affirm It's
belief In the good intentions OF Senator
Smoot and adds that IL still believes that
he is not fully informed as to the true
situation existing In Utah and the posi-
ton Of the state land board and Its at
torney general In connection with the
matter discussed.
In this connection. the committee calls
attention to the provision in the Utah
enabling act which provides four Sec
tions In each township being granted to
the state for the support Of the schools,
with further provision for land equivalent
when these sections had been sold or 9TH
erwise disposed of by the government It
points out that the senator In his letter
called attention to the words "to be Of
the chara cter so granted" and his con-
tention that mineral lands are not "of
the character 80 granted and under state
school grants" in support Of which the
senator calls attention to land office and
federal court decisions previously cited,
