Official Report
Recognizes Single Tax

For the first time in history, an
official report to congress has
recommended the single tax as a
remedy for unemployment and
poverty.
Louis F. Post, assistant secre-
tary of labor, has addressed an
open letter to Frank p. Walsh,
chairman of the industrial rela-
lions commission, commenting
the work of the commission in the
most enthusiastic terms, and say
ing, among other things:
I'm this work, If you have won
the hatred of the few, the kings
and potentates of the modern in
dustrial world, you have won the
esteem, the affections and the
lasting gratitude of helpless mil
lions, and you have given to us
the facts which we pledge you we
will use in all legitimate ways
until the earth is returned to
those who must live on it's bounty
or perish miserably that few
may corrupt the world and de-
stroy themselves with excessive
and corrupt wealth."

Would Seek to
Regulate Pullman Co.

The biggest unregulated pub
lie service corporation extant is
the Pullman Co. For some rea-
son 1t always has escaped the
province of the interstate CON-
merce act, and there is no author
ity In the world to say whether
this monopoly ought to give bet
ter service, charge less or treat
it's employees more humanely.
The Industrial relations COM
mission has just made report
showing that the company on an
actual investment of $32.601.238
has distributed total In divi-
dends of $231,000,0O0. Since
1898, the company has increased
it's capitalization from $4,000
900 to $120,000,000 without the
investment of a single additional
dollar on the part of its stock
holders. This increase in nomi-
nal capitalization is to hide the
rate of dividends paid.
The commission recommends
that congress pass laws prohibit
ing the tipping of employees of
public service corporations In in
terstate commerce, amending the
hours-of-service law SO as to in
clude the employees in the Pull
man service and extending the
arbitration act as to cover the
Pullman company.

I. r. Will KEEP OUT
OF THE 1916 RACE:
WILSON i'm PICKLE

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. 28
The fact that Col. Roosevelt IL
not candidate for the presiden-
tial nomination of either the pro-
gressive or republican parties does
not mean that his name will not
figure in the primaries of both.
Except in Ohio, where can
didate must give written consent,
1t is impossible to prevent enthu-
siastic friends from getting up
petitions and entering his name in
the primary contests.
In Minnesota 1t already appears
that certain Jealous Rooseveltites
intend to run him in the republi-
can primaries, and this fact has
led some to believe and even to
charge that Roosevelt is carrying
on subterranean campaign in
his own interest.
The charge is absolutely with
out foundation. Roosevelt has
determined definitely and finally
to keep out of the presidential
race.
Mr.. Wilson can have the track
to himself so far as Roosevelt Is
concerned, and the Root-Barnes-
Weeks republicans can have the
republican convention to them
selves SO far as Roosevelt is con-
cerned.
The progressives are content to
name Hiram Johnson or Clifford
Pinchot and let the voters take
their choice.

Preparedness Issue Puts

President Wilson is in diem

is YOUR SOUL SINGLE OR
MARRIED
Think twice before pou answer.
The mere possession of an ordin-
airy marriage certificate has notl-
ing whatever to do with your re-
ply! For though your wedding
ring be an inch thick. your soul

Though you have just paid the
Doctors bill for your fourth baby,
you may be yet psychologically
the grouchiest old bachelor in the
world!
Such at least is the philosophy
of Miss Amy Perkins, an English
spinster of 35, living at 40 East
30th street, New York city, who
has just brought suit for $4,000
against DR.. Robert e. Clarke of
Poughkeepsie, because he failed
to keep a promise--'to unite two
souls in a one-soul world wherein
the dome of the blue sky and the
planet walls are not a limitation
of terrestrial bliss!"
Miss Perkins made trip all the
way to California to wed the doc
tor. But the Lothario of souls
failed to keep his promise to
meet her there.

SMELLING co SETTLED

The suit brought by Walter Rhine
against the Steptoe Valley Smelling
and Mining company to recover the
sum of fifty thousand dollars dam
ages for personal injuries alleged to
have been sustained while Rimes was
employed at the MeGill plant. was
settled by stipulation filed in court
at Carson City during the week,
whereby judgment is entered in favor

san dollars.

caused by a blow from hammer in
the hand of fellow workman. 1t
appears that Rhine was working on

ing out rivet. He was holding a
punch against the rivet while the
other man was striking the punch A
blow glanced off the punch and the
hammer struck Rime on the nose.
Just what the result of the injury Is

itely determined.

Will the apathy and pig-headed-
ness of some of Salt Lakes business
men result in the loss of the Lincoln
highway to both Ely and Salt Lake? ?
Indications point very considerably
to that combination.
On Tuesday of last week Mr.. Hoag,
state consul of the Lincoln highway,
left for Salt Lake City to meet Mr..
Ostermann, field secretary of the
same organization.
On arriving in Salt Lake.. Mr. Hoag
learned that Mr. Ostermann had sue
ceeded in raising seventy-five thou
sand dollars to be devoted to bridg-
ing the Great American desert be-
tween Granite Mountain and the
Deep Crek range. This plan contem-
plated that by opening Johnson 8
Pass, which lies Immediately west of
Glover, a fine state highway could
be utilized to Glover; a good connec-
tion to the desert could be made over
Johnson's Pass. the present roads
from Johnson's Pass to the edge OF
the desert could be traversed, and ii
was proposed to expend the seventy
five thousand dollars building a me-
mortal section across the eighteen
miles of mud flat which intervenes
between Granite Mountain and the
Deep Creek range. To the surprise
of Mr.. Cstermann the proposition was
imediately met with opposition. The
road which the Lincoln highway as
sociation, through it's officers. pro-
posed building would shorten the
distance between Salt Lake and Iba-
pah forty-eight miles. The opposi-
tion encountered came from the ex-
ponents of the Wendover route which
would shorten the distance between
those localities only seven miles. II
was found that this opposition had
been carefully svstenatized and botf
the governor of Utah and the state
highway commission had been lined
up with the Wendover exponents. II
was also found that as the state COM
mission had already spent about
thirteen thousand dollars on the
Wendover route they were willing to
reject a gift of seventy-five thousand
dollars and continue project which
they estimate will cost fifty thou
sand dollars rather than confess that
they made a mistake When this con-
iition was learned Mr.. ostermanu
made trip over the Wendoyer route

and a careful investigation of the
merits of the same. He gave it as his
opinion that their estimate of the
cost of their contemplated route was
too low by approximately two hun
dred thousand dollars. Moreover. it
possessed the disadvantage Of NOT
materially shortening the distance
an object that the Lincoln highway
is endeavoring to work to. For this
reason he refused to recommend the
adoption of the Wendover route by
the Lincoln Highway association.
The natter now stands at dead
lock. Many business interests in Salt
Ike City do not approve of the con-
struction of the Wendover route. nor
of the stand taken by the road au-
thorities of that state. Mr. Oster-
mann left for Detroit or Monday of
this week, with the intention of rec
ommending to the Lincoln Highway
association that if any change at all
we're made in Utah that the new
route be around the north end of the
lake which would necessarily be in
imical to the interests of Ely. Earn
est effort is now being put forth to
show the road authorities of Utah
the error of the stand they are taking
and the resultant injury to both Salt
Lake City and Ely. 1t is expected
that the matter will be thoroughly
threshed out before the first of the
year. and teIegraphic request mas
been made that the Lincoln Highway
association reserve its decision until
a report can be had from the bust
ness men of Salt Lake City who op-
pose the stand taken by the road
authorities.
The question of whether or not
Ely shall remain on the Lincoln high
way is now a very important one
The solution rests with the merchants
of Salt Lake City which is Ely's prin
cipal supply point. Now, IL the mer
chants of Ely are interested in hold
ing the Lincoln highway business il
behooves them to bring such pressure
to bear on those they patronize In
Salt Lake as will bring from those
people immediate and vigorous ac.
tion toward reversing the stand TAX
en- by the road authorities of Utah
If you are interested at all get busy
Immediately, because a week from
now will be too late. If Salt Lake
wants your business let them know
where you stand.
