Two Fires

An alarm was turned in Wednes-
day from the barber shop of J. D.
Harrington, the gasoline heater
having set fire to the building.
Yesterday the alarm brought out
the department to the Lackner
building on Sheridan street. The
Lackner family who occupied the
two story building had gone away
for the day and some parties were
left in charge of the stoves. They
became overheated and set fire to
the woodwork of one af the rooms.
The department worked for two
hours before the danger was past.

BENEFIT OF BOND ISSUE.

The pessimistic are contending thaf
Salt Lake county should not borrow a
million dollars to build new roads be
cause some day we shall have to pay
back the million.
"Times are hard all over the eoun'
try groaps the pessimist, "and Salt
Lake has escaped by the fact that 1t
has borrowed so much money for I'M
provements and is spending it; but
some day we must pay for all this.
It may be satisfying to the soul OF
the pessimist to take 100000 volts OF
hard times all in one shot, but the wise
man likes to distribute his woe through
a lifetime. II some Of the other critics
Of the country want to crowd all their
woes into a year or two, let them do it.
1t is their funeral.
If IL is true that we have escaped
more stringent times by the fact that
we have borrowed money, certainly
that is not very good argument to
nse against the s1,OOO,ooo bond issue.
The logical man who has no pessimistic
tendencies will believe that it is fair
ly good argument for issuing the road
bonds.
The borrowing of money permits any
community to spread its hard times
over a number of years and even into
another generation But Salt Lake has
not had hard times, and would not have
hard times even if it paid all of its
bills every week or every day and did
not avail itself Of any borrowed capital
from the outside We do not have to
20 far eheld to discover tue reason.
Salt Lake is Que of the soundest cities
and state where resources are con-
stsntly pilipg up new wealth. And for
that very reason Salt Lake and the
county can afford TO be a borrower
whlo cities to the east and west of us
must no. borrow because they have not
sufficient resources in themselves or in
their adjacent territory to furnish
collateral for their loans. Los Angeles,
for example. is a fashy spendthrift, but
is it solvent! salt Lake can afford TO
borrow because its riches will increase
unrcmittiugiv. Ten years from now,
when Salt Lake is a ely of 100000 or
100000 inhabitants, il will laugh at the
pcnuTious policy Of those who would re-
fuse 10 vote 100000 in bonds for
good roads. Remember too, that it will
not cost the city a cent more TO main
tain the good roads than the bad ones
Md don { forget that the good roads
VIII bring The richest kind of returns
Resources plus good roads give the most
valuable combination of assets that an,
community can have.

COSTS TOO MUCH MONEY.

| William r, McCombs, chairman of
the Democratic national committee, who
has been mentioned for the post of en-
baesador to France ever since the ad-
vent of the Wilson administration, has
given his reason for declining the ap-
pointment. 1t is simply question OF
money. Mr. McCombs could not afford
to accept a position which pays SIT 500
a year and which involves the expendi-
ture of about $4,000, so he is going
back to tho practice of law III the hope
Of adding to his worldly possessions.
No one will blame him for declining
| TO pay so high a price for the honor OF
representing his country abroad. The
mission TO France is attractive enough,
but it ism II worth that much.
For some years the department OF
state has been urging congress to main
tain the dignity of the United States
BY furnishing the money for suitable
quarters for our diplomats, Secretary
BRYAN has followed the example set by
his immediate predecessors and has
asked the house foreign affairs com
mittee to include in the pending dlplo"
matte and consular appropriation bill
the amounts necessary for embassy
buildings at Toxic, Mexico City and
Berne
Mr.. Bryan advances the argument,
not new by any means, that under the
existing circumstances the government
is forced to choose its diplomats from
among rich men only. and these some
times spend SO much money keeping up
their establishments in foreign capitals
that no man of moderate means can sue
ceed them without embarrassment.
By the purchase of embassy buildings
the government would enable its repre-
sentatives abroad to live decently and
make at least a respectable showing
with moderate means.
But freedom from paying rent will
not suffice in all cases. At the court
of Berlin, for instance, the American
ambassador is expected to entertain
more or less layishly. The kaiser insists
upon making Il great display and ex-
poets the representatives Of other
countries TO follow his example. Not
long ago a distinguished American citI-
zen who could not keep up the pace
was literally forced to resign.
The present ambassador to Germany,
former Justice Gerard Of New York, is
man Of wealth aud will be able to
stand the strain. Moreover, his wife is
one OF the daughters of the late Marcus
DAILY and possesses fortune IN her own
right.
We hope congress will make the ap-
preparation asked BY Secretary Bryan.
.Jeffersonian simplicity is all right in
theory, but diplomats don't get any
| where on a small beer salary.
