KING, OH KING, HOW CAN you DO lr2

The ways and means committee of the Utah
Metal Mining industry have recently held a meet.
in5 and adopted report setting forth the needs
Of Utah in the Metal Tariff. Among other things
they have agreed to send a committee of two rep.
resen",tve to Washington, armed with facts
and figures to appear before the proper committees
and represent Utahs needs in this matter.
At the beginning of the report we find these
telling Words
We are opposed to the Inauguration of ad
loren duties on lead contained in ore as proposed
in the UNDERWOOD BILL THAT WAS VETOED
BY PRESIDENT TAFT" etc. Messrs George w.
Ritter and the Hon. William H. King were named
as the committee to go to Washington, and while
desire to applaud the action of the committee
in condemning the Underwood Bill and compl
mentDg President Taft, yet are just little bit
sLeptical to the influence of these gentlemen
at the seat Of war. OF they are thorough
~ qualified to present the situation, and perhaps
they can do the flip flop to such nicely that
the desired results will be forthcoming Just for
moment let what they are up against.
The Democratic National Platform declares as
follows
I'VE denounce THE ACTION OF PRESIDENT
TAFT in vetoing the bills to reduce the tariff in
the cotton, wooden, METALS and chemical sched-
ules and the farmers free list bill. all of which
were designed to give immediate relief to the mass
es from the extraction Of the trusts" The Demo
cratic State Platform, in its criticism of the Taft
administration says:
I'VE call attention to the fact that after four
years "the pghted faith of the party" (the Repub
licap party has not been kept that the President
has VETOED EVERY MEASURE PRESENTED
FOR DOWNWARD REVISION" etc.
The Democratic National Platform says: I'VE
appeal to the American people to support us in our
demaud for tariff for only" and the Dem.
Stat Va doc
trres of the Democratic party, as set forth In the
National Platform" The American people
ed this call and 1t is now up to the American peo-
pie TO support the Democratic party in its propa-
ganda for tariff for revenue only" The Demo
cratic party of Utah endorsed this policy, and if
mistake not the Hon William II. King was
one OF the committee that wrote the platform,
therefore it now appears to be in order to say
king, Oh, King, How Can You Do I?' OF course
the people of Utah will applaud you your recent
condemnation of the Underwood bill, Of which you
had nothing but praise before election, and will
applaud you in your recent encomium of President
Taft, who had the good judgment to veto 1t, and
of whom you had nothing but condemnation before
election. In other words the people of Utah will
applaud you because you have the nerve to come
out after election against those things that you
worked for during election that will surely be de-
strucdve to the interests OF Utah. In other words
the people of Utah will not think great deal of
the theoretical William II. King but from prac
tical standpoint they will think you are all right.
And again. Mr.. King, and his associate will
90 Dalk to Washington with some strength. Can
they rot say to their fellows, 1--WE represent
crcgn state, and not ourselves, and II you please
not our party. 1t is true from our standpoint We
Inconsistent but people not. The peo-
PIE Of Utah are not believers in tariff for
emu" only" they are not Democrats but the
other hand great majority of them Republi-
cans. 1t is true repudiatng the principle
which stood, recorded in our National
platform, and in state platform, but appeal
n behalf OF level headed iooilo who know what
they want, and please do not crush them account
OF folly"
We trust Messrs King, ct al will be successful
in their abors and have assurances in advance
that the Republican members of Congress will give
them all the assistance within their power. We
predict that Mr.. King, ct al will be closeted with
Republicans almost exclusively on this important
matter. Success to the committee.

GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT
Under the above heading the Ogden Examiner
pays nice tribute to Hon. Charles s. Tingey,
trng Secretary OF State. We concur most hear
tly with the Examiner and have p.easure In repro
ducing its words:
Charles 8. Tingey Is no longer secretary OF
state, 1t is an Office he has hed-and the only
one, by the way-for the past eight years. Dur
Ing that time he has been acting governor OF
Utah many times and the rather grave trust
has been in safe hands
The office Mr.. Tingey quits Is an extremely
imnortant one II requires a man OF absolute
honesty, Of strict attention to business In both
