C. HICKS, Editor. ; 25 Cents N. C. HICKS, Manager! Entered at the Postofflee of Proto City as matter according to second-clas- s "Act of Congress, March 3, 1884. . . THEIR REMUNERATION INSUFFICIENT. A number of the members of our Fire Department believe tht the price paid J;o them for their services is not. sufficient and should b raised. They claim that, the pay does not them at times, for the mending of torn clothing and similar accidents which occur during a fire. At the present time the city is paying at the rate 50 cents pef hour for. the, firsts hour and 25 cents per hour " after, This, it seems, is far below what is being paid to the volunteer firemen of most of the cities in this and other states. It is reported to us that the Spanish Fork members of the volunteer department $1.00 for an hour's drill each week and that the price for their regular services is higher than that paidlhe Provo volunteersr' The result being, that the Spanish Fork and other departments, who are receiving remunerations of this kind, are building up their volunteer departments, while at times it is hard for Chief Loveless to get the necessary number of men together when a fire breaks out. While The Post is much in favor of economy iiT every depart-,men- 't of the city government, we believe that "this is one place. where the commissioners should investigate and do somehting to help the IocaL department members. During Jhe past year there are many instances where the department has been called out and the - teers have responded witl; a spirit of patriotism, and after yolun-a leaving warm bed and comfort in the middle of the night tp help save property, the .remuneration received has not been sufficient to pay the tailor who has cleaned and pressed their clothing after the fire had been put out. Most of these fires thatjiccur usually requireabbut one hour 8 time and as a result of it the boys get about 50 cents 'for work done and therisk they have gqne through. We believe that if the City Commission would pay the volunteers $1.00 for the first hour and 50 cents per hour for each hour after it would not work a hardship upon anyone but would be very helpful to the volunteers. Most of the members of the fire department are not in that service for the - money there.es in it, but because of their patriotism to the town. This patriotism should be encouraged and the city should do its shqre by meeting the boys half way and at least remunerating them proper ly for their services. - . . re-cei- INSURRECTION IN MEXICO. zi. When Diaz was in his prime he governed Mexico with the strong hand of power. In no other way could the revolutionary spirit be restrained. him When Madero succeeded , , Diaz had become old. - lie had i neither the energy nor the strength to overcome the forces which had arisen against him,' or to carry into effect the reforms demanded. By retiring he saved Mexico from the horrors of civil war and gave Madero free scope to carry into effect the pokey he had proclaimed. Madero is finding that revolution is contagious. His example has filled the minds of other leaders with of revolt. lie succeeded in dealing with Gen. Reyes, who, like Diaz, is old. But the Zapatrrevolution is a different matter; and it may require the utmost power of the government to restore order - and the' security for commerce and industry which is the hope' of 1 Mexican tranquility and prosperity. I'"'- At its present stage the disorder calls for no action on the part of the United States, farther than to look to' the protSdion of and of American cities near .the border.-Sympathy will naturally be extended to Madero, because he represents oeder and peace and the enforcement of law. the-ide- sold in Town -- . 1 3 cu -- WANTS -- 20-2- 1 oppo-T.iIio- n (male) , 1 to $1200,'.
