Boot|egger

The Bingham Canyon (Utah) press.
bulletln, IN a recent issue reported
ralds or ofhcials upon bootleggers op-
Grating In dry" territory. The re-
suits OF these raids showed the per
slstency with which these outlaws
work and the magnitude Of their oper-
atoms
The Press-Bulletin said:
Under the direction Of the comfy
sheriff the upper end OF Carr Fork
known as the Highland Boy district
was ralded last week and large uuan-
titles Of booze taken.
This week Deputy Sheriff Joe Ra-
leigh, made another raid and gathered
another lot Of liquor that was held in
place where no license could be grant
ed for its sale.
The officers state that there will he
no let up on vigilance until all the
blind pigs and bootleggers are driven
out Of the district. The claim is fur
Their made that the greater portion Of
all the trouble which comes from the
district comes directly or indirectly
from the places where the Illicit sale
OF liquor Is made.
In addition to these arrests that
have boon made the officers have
taken into custody. Joe Wells and
Mike Padgen on charges Of delivering
booze In dry territory.
1t Is claimed that Wells had a car
load OF the contraband stun in his
possession and that great portion of
1t was recovered during the raid last
week, but that he had succeeded In
getting a portion OF 1t INTO wet terri
tory where it was safe from seizure.
Mike Padgen had just made the
delivery OF the last Of three wagon
loads Of wet goods in dry territory
when he was arrested Wednesday and
caught with the goods on him.

DEATH NOTICE
PROHIBITION PARTY
Born 1875; Died-(St. Louis Re-
Republic Says It's Extinct
hoW)-ko Flowers

The Prohibitionists have held their
convention and will proceed with their
eleventh EFFORT to give their party a
political Importance that 40 years of
trying has never achieved.
Starting in 1876 with fewer than
10000 the party grew slowly until In
1892 there were 264,O0O votes cast for
the presidential candidate Of that year.
Five national elections have been held
since then and the party has not equal
cd that record, though the population
has Increased by 25,00O,OOO.
Besides their main issue the Prohi-
bitionists have adopted many side is-
sues, some OF them admirable, in the
hope Of attracting votes, but the plan
always failed. They are trying the
same thing this year when they at
tempt to make their party take the
place of the wrecked Progressive
party, but there is no reason to sup
pose they will succeed.
The leading candidates before the
convention this year were a discredit-
cd Democrat and a Republican states
man out of job. That is the best
the party can do for leadership, for 1t
has developed no leaders of its own.
Such a record of persistence In the
face OF unrelieved failure Is without
parallel In American politics.
Perhaps the campaign will teach
the members Of the Prohibition party
that their organization is in a state
OF irremediable living death. That
has been its condition for long while
and everybody outside Of the party
knows it-St. Louis Republic

institution Of prohibition in Washing

creased proportiOnately,' said Pat Null

the property now for $4,000. The
Montana hotel cost me 100000. l
would sell it for $4,000 The Mich.
lgan cost me $91 900. would take
$4,000 for the property now. The
original valuation of the three hotels
totals 1901 900, the valuation since pro-
hibitlon went into effect totals $780,
900, loss of SCI 900, due to the de-
crease in property valuation.

my statement that the earning power

fore prohibition, the total rentals per

The Michigan hotel formerly brought

a decrease Of 1925 per month.
AT the first Of the present year a
new rating Of valuation for taxes was
made for two years. Prior to this
valuation the taxes on my three prop
critics amounted to $4,250. The new

Inquiry Into R. R. Wages.
FOR PEACEFUL settlement

Members Of United States Chamber OF
Commerce Vote Overwhelmingly In
Favor Of Letting Interstate Commerce
Commission Adjust Controversy.
WashingtOn.--ln order to ascertain
the position Of the business men Of
the nation on the controversy between
the railroads OF tic country and the
unions Of train service employees. which
was precipitated b. the demand Of the
latter for an Increase in wages that
would amount to $1O0OOOOOO n year,
the United States Chamber Of Com
merce recently submitted the mat
ter to q vote Of all its members. They
were asked to express their opinion as
to whether the dispute should be al
lowed to take It's course with the DOS
sibility Of great strike that would
tie up all the transportation lines
throughout the country and paralyze
all business, or whether they would
favor the adoption to joint resolu-
ton by the two branches Of congress
directing the Interstate Commerce
Commission to investigate and pass
upon the matter
The vote received was q very large
one and represented business organ
Hnt1ons In every part Of the coun-
try. The result was overwhelmingly
In favor Of placing the matter In the
hands Of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, 9s4A votes being cast in
favor Of this course and only 29A
against It. The result showed clearly
that the business interests OF the
country are unalterably against per-
uniting the transportation lines to be
tied up by a national railroad strike
that would paralyze the commerce of
the country and inflict enormous losses
On all classes Of citizens.
Chairman Wheeler Of the Commit.
tee In charge Of the matter for
the Chamber Of Commerce apDear-
ed before the representatives of the
railroads and their employees ut their
conference In New York in June. He
announced the result Of the Com
mittee's inquiry among the business
men of the country and urged both
parties to the dispute to get together
and adopt the course suggested. As a
result the committee Of managers rep
resenting the railroads submitted q
proposal that the whole subject be
placed before the Interstate Commerce
Commission as requested by the repre-.
sentatives Of the business interests.
AS an alternative they offered to sub
NIT the demands to arbitration under
the Federal law. Both offers were
refused by the union leaders, who an.
nounced that they would go back to
their unions and get authority to de-
clare a strike. This they have since
been doing.
Meanwhile resolution has been In
troduced in Congress directing the In
terstate Commerce Commission tc
make an investigation Of railroad
wages. This resolution Is now await
Ing action. 1t Is believed here that II
nothing further Is done by Congress OF
by the parties to the wage dispute tc
bring about a peaceful settlement the
business interests Of the country
through the United States Chamber
of Commerce, or some other organiza
ton, will appeal to the Government
to take some direct and decisive action
to prevent the destruction Of national
prosperity by strike on all the rail
road lines.
