PRICED PAVING

Disagreeing with others represent,
ing themselves as authorities on road
building, and the pavement capable
of standing the longest wear, City
and County Engineer Whitehouse has
come forward to advocate the use OF
creosoted blocks to be used in paw
ing principal streets in the city. Ac.
knowledging that this pavement would
cost considerable more than any OF
the other patented processes, he de
clares that the difference in price will
be made up by its length of wear.
Queen street he instances as one
of the streets on which creosoted
blocks have been used. He says they
were put down about nine years ago
at an expense OF approximately four
dollars yard. and have not cost the
city an additional cent since then for
repair. Many of the cities on the
mainland, he says, New York, New
Orleans and others, are using the
block pavement almost entirely.
The blocks are put through pre-
servation process before being used

UNIQUE Life
ENDED INA
UNIQUE DEATH
Attempts to Destroy Home by
Fire and Is Burned Until
Dead

After sprinkling kerosene literally
over the house owned by Robert Holt
at Kalaupapa and then setting 1t afire,
the incendiary who caused the de.
struction of that edifice at midnight
last Tuesday night, crawled under the
building and slashed his throat with 2
knife. When discovered and dragged
out by the volunteer fire fighters the
man was badly burned, and died the
following morning.
Details of the affair reached DR.
j. s. B. Pratt by mail this morning
from Superintendent Jack McVeigh, OF
the settlement on Molokai. The ma.
tive who chose this remarkable meth
cd of self.destruction has long been
an unique character, both in the set
Element, where he has been for the
last ten years, and at Waialua, Oahu
where it is said he once held the
police force at bay for a considerable
time with q Winchester rife.
To insure his good conduct after
his removal to Molokai this man was
made a member Of the police force,
but was removed from the position
when he engaged in a pitched battle
with some of the other members oil
the colony and received severe maui
ing. 1t is thought he was half-crazed
when he committed the act of last
Tuesday night.
When the alarm was given the resi-
dents gathered around the burning
house and fought the flames for four
hours, unable to do more than save
the nearby buildings because of the
fierce flames, fed by the kerosene
which the incendiary had carefully
sprinkled over the structure before
setting 1t afire.

of the candidates strongest in that
State, and then in the convention Of
electors held after the general elec.
tion, the differences between the more
or less numerous candidates could be
easily threshed out and candidate
nominated by the electors whom all
would support But, at the worst, di-
vision In the convention of electors and
a failure to nominate candidates would
be no worse than the terrific split
that occurred in the Republican party
last year, In this way. as proposed,
the ante.election friction would be
largely done away with, or would be
tempered by being spread out among
all the States, and rs between different
candidates in the separate States.
But whatever form may finally be
decided upon, it is clearly the part Of
wisdom and practical politics for the
Republican party to endeavor to get
together and formulate some plan which
will hold the party strength for the

IT ia possible that there may have to
be resdjustment as TO the Presi-
dency, and that Diaz may become the
head of the Mexican government. In
deed, that is what we expected would
be the result, and indications are that
he will win. Nothing seemed to point
to Huerta, but everything to Diaz, and
the name Diaz ought to count for some
thing among the Mexican people We
believe that if Diaz were made Pres
ident Of the Republic and should invite
his i1lustrious uncle to come and live
with him in the City of Mexico, as his
counselor and guide, quiet reign Of
peace and order would cusue at once.
We believe that to be the shortest road
to the end Of all fighting and brigand
age, and accordingly should be glad to
see that course pursued.
There is an ugly feeling, however.
prevalent in the minds of the Mexican
people, and so far as this may sway
public affairs there, it would mean
that there would be such provocation
given to the United States as might
enforce intervention, and then all par
ties would unite to repel the invasion.
It is for this that number of the in
surroctos have heen working ever since
the insurrection broke out against Ma
dero. IT would afford a means whero.
by all Of the insurrectos could "save
their faces but it would be an inn
mensely toilsomc, destructive, and cost.
ly war for the United States, We,
therefore, admire the calmness and
equipofse of President Taft in refusing
to play into the hands Of those Mex
lean brigands in this respect. Let them
save their faces, or lose them, as they
can; but the United States should keep
out Of the trouble, both for its own
sake and for the sake of Mexico.
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1913-02-21
THE OUTLOOK IN MEXICO.

The latest information from Mexico
does not bear out the expectations
which we had formed, that the sue.
cess of the Diaz revolution would bring
peace to that much a fflicted country
On the contrary there are rumors that
the north of Mexico will not receive
Hucrta for President, and that the
whole country is in worse state Of
anarchy than ever before. We have
the hope, however, that on the general
proposition the Me1Icans must be tired
of the anarchy and sick of the blood
shed and ravoges that have made their
country practically a land Of banditti
for the past two years and more. Peo-
pie who have been used TO any form
of settled government naturally tire
of nproar and unsettled conditions.
The commercial spirit OF the age also
will tend very strongly towards the
suppression Of disorder: and We still
venture to indulge in the hope that the
latest upheaval is preliminary to
settled peace.
With respect TO Huerta, we had our
miseivings that the north of Mexico
would be reluctant to yield to his
sway. because he has been in command
of the Federal forces in the north
aud naturally there would be antago
nism to him among Orozco's forces

THE Po1L.TAx MEASURE.

There is not one word of argument
that cnn fairly be brought forward for
the enforcement of a poll tax under
present taxing and road conditions;
aud yet it seems to be a form of taxa,
tiou most. strenuously insisted upon by
primitive minds. IT is way of max
ing the people pay few dollars for
no possible benefit to themselves and
those dollars that are paid go nobody
knows whore.
The polltax bill that is now before
the Utah House of Representatives Is
an unusually stringent and Impractical
form of imposing the poll tax. This
tax is largely uncollectible. 1t is not
applicable to roads especially in con-
nectioD with the reformed road adj
ministration; and yet those who have
been used to the poll-tax idea seem to
consider that there is nothing like it
for yielding a few extra dollars to
somebody for some underlined purpose,
Therefore, the effort is through the
passage of this bill to make everybody
within certain defined limits pay
So poll tax to be wasted in road
districts by local road supervisors. All
such pretepse Of road making is simply
waste and folly. II amounts to nothing
for the roads. but it annoys people
nightly in the poll.tax eNaction and
the uncertainty Of what becomes Of the
People do not like to
throw their money away absolutely,
nor do they like to throw it into a rat
hole without having any idea of what
is to become of it.
There is, coupled with the poll tax
levy, IN this bill, requirement that
this poll tax may be collected from en-
ployers and deducted from the pay of
the employee. A clear bit of folly, inn
possible Of execution, No employers
are agents of the State for the purpose
of collecting taxes in any form, and it
is impossible for the State to hold en-
ployers liable for any form of taxa
tion that may be imposed upon en-
ployees. just as it is impossible to de-
duct such tax from wages due. So
that both from the employer S stand
point and from the standpoint Of the
employee. the proposition to enforce a
poll tax in this manner is impracticable
and absurd.
The only legislation with regard to
poll tax that would bear the light of
reason and modern-day scrutiny is a
pill that would abolish the poll tax
and let the roads be kept
lp by those competent to keep them
Up, the funds therefor being paid by
he general public in the usual way
hat taxes are levied and collected.

THE FINE FOR NoN-VoTING.

We see that Senator Benner X
Smith has prevailed upon enough of
his fellow Senators, perhaps through
Senatorial courtesy in part, TO allow
the passage through the Senate by a
small majority, of his bill fning all
voters in the State a stated annual
sum. The voters can annul this fine
by appearing at the polls aud voting
We presume, however, that the bill is
merely passed in the Senate through
Difference to Senator Smith, and is not
really expected to be concurred in by
the House.
Such concurrence is not to be ex.
pected, because the bill is wholly i'm.
practicable. For how are you going
to ascertain who is voter for the pur.
pose Of this fine or taxi Those who
do not want to vote will simply not
register. Is it the intention to go back
of the registry lists and fine people who
may be legal voters but who do not
get their names on the registration
list7 But that could not be done.
Again, large numbers of persons are
iudgment~proof. How are you going to
collect fine of this kind against a
poor man or poor woman simply be-
cause circumstances have made it i'm
possible for such persons to appear at
the polls and vote7 A good many peo.
pie are sick or ailing On election day.
They may desire to vote, but are un-
able TO get to the polls. Why, then,
should their distress be added to by al
irksome fine which, besides being an
noyipg, would add to the distress of
those in poverty and need9 The en-
gine Of the law is not properly ap.
plicable for any such purpose. But the
cost Of operating a law like this would
be very great.
1t is said that there is no such law
as this in force in any State. We
should hope not. And we have reason
to hope and believe that no such law
as this will ever be enacted in Utah.
