AXENT THE HEl'OHT. The report of the committee appointed by the citizens to investigate in-vestigate the figures and statement state-ment as given by Councilman Scott has been made, and is published in this paper. We hope it will be read by all the citizens and compared with the report as published in The Independent In-dependent of May 21st, as it entirely corroborates the original origin-al statement as given by Mr. Scott. This was, of course, expected ex-pected by a large majority of the citizens, but there were a few in that meeting who opposed the scheme and we believe the selection of that committee was only part of the opposition's dans to kill the electric light proposition by showing Councilman Council-man Scott's figures to be technically techni-cally incorrect and thereby blind the people as to the correctness of the whole, but, as a matter of fact, the committee's report not oil'ly corroborates but strengthens the original figures. The $833 which was left, was designed for such matters as the items mentioned men-tioned by the committee, out-aide out-aide of the last item $900. Why this was hitched on the report is one of the peculiarities which is hard to understand. In the committee's report the maximum average rate for 450 lights is cherged, that is, $2 each. Even if the city intends to furnish 450 private citizens with their lights, lamps, sockets, house cord wire, rosettes and labor for placing them in shall be the very best, that if some poor man desires to invest 25 cents per month for his lamp, even if he resides in a dugout, he has just ai good equipment as Mr. L. D. Deal ahall have in his palatial home. Whoever heard of a corpora tion, either private or public, j that is so liberal that they will furnish all the equipment for private consumption of their product! The idea is preposterous, of course. If this were attempted Mr. Geo. R. Hill could order his dining room lamp as consistently consist-ently as could II. T. Reynolds his office lamp, the former lives two miles farther away perhaps. If this were the rule Mr. Deal could have a lamp in every room at the same price as the poorest citizen in Spring-ville Spring-ville who can use but one lamp by paying 25 cents per light. If this were the law of the land John D. Rockfeller would have agents in all parts of the country furnishing lamps, wicks, chimneys, chim-neys, coal oil cans, patent lamp chimney cleaners, eta., etc. Gas companies would be looking longingly to establish plants in our city so that they might ilretch their pipes to those houses which jne sit buck in the lot as Mr. Curtis', for instance. in-stance. "Nit." Of course, we nil can see the inconsistency of such an arrangement. Evervone knows. that each person using any commodity Mich as gus, water, electric lighting, sewerage pipes, etc., must of necessity pay for their own quipnient; the poor citizen who only needs n lamp can get hi cheap lamp placed in the house at one quarter less than the best, (no to excee 1 50 cents) while the wealthy man can have his silken cord, embellished rosettes, tinted globes and relbctors. IIj can have his unlimited wiring done to suit his own convenience, nil by paying for it himself, while the citizen who does not require these axtravagancies will not have to pay for someone elaa'p conveniences. Now the Citizens' committee has only enumerated the necessity for using $045 of the contingent fund of $S33 which the committee hal set apart in their report, out of the proposed outlay of $5000. Councilman Scott's figures are verified and now it only remains for the people to turn out tomorrow night and unanimously order the Council to procure the necessary neces-sary money to immediately establish estab-lish a system of electric lighting. THE HOBOS AC1MX. At Buttp, Montana, n Citizens' committee has been organized for the purpose of hustling out the hobos who congregate there; they do not stop to feed them but let it be known that tjbey must "git." A squad of 45 is started out towards Utah last, week; among them, it is said, n number of men whose faces may be seen in almost any collection at the Rogue's gallery. Spring-ville Spring-ville will certainly be "honored" b a visit from a few of this delegation. How to receive them and the other visitors of this ilk should he considered. We are hardly in favor of the extreme measures as adopted by the Butte citizens, but some such plan as suggested in last week's Independent should be considered. Mayor Deal said to the writer in a recent conversation that he thought it a national question. He thinks 'vork farms" should be established at various points in the particularly infested localities and every man who applies for charity could then be turned over to the farm to wark, and even if- caught on incoming incom-ing freight trains, car beams or other evidences of the tramp genus might, very properly, be arrestod and demned to spend so many days at the farm at labor. It may be this idea is fraught with feasibility as well as profit to the community. We are of the opinion, however, that the rock pile is the only legitimate remedy to take at present and hope sumptuary measures of some kind will be taken to cause this claai of cit'zons a decided aversion to visit Springville instead in-stead of pleasure as it seems to be at present. LET VS Ol'EX THE UEVEPT10X We hope when President Mc-Kinley Mc-Kinley and party shall visit Utah next month, that in ad- dition to the glorious picture of Utah Valley and lake that bursts on his vision as he enters our valley val-ley an array of bright children will embellish the view.

One ol the plsasantest features of President Presi-dent Ilarri-on's viif, it few years ago, was the blight array of Sunday cchoul children who had assembled to do him honor. Much merriment has been made tit "Utah's Best Crop," but it has been conceded by all who ever compare it with other states that it by no means refers re-fers to quantity only. The children of Utah as a whole are more intelligent by long odds than a like number of children in any other state in the Union Whenever a movement is started wherein the cliildnnare called together to-gether to greet any distinguished distinguish-ed guests, most favorable impressions im-pressions are created. If our Sunday pchool and other children can be so assembled, assem-bled, as the train comes in bearing bear-ing the presidential party, and arrangements made for tho train to stop say fifteen minutes, the impression being the first made in Utah it will bo the most indelibly in-delibly made. The town of Springville will be long and favorably remembered, especially especial-ly if fruit and flowers be given as a memento by the children. The Independent stands ready to assist in every way to make President McKinley's visit to Utah, dato tha pleasure from the time he enters Springville, and we think Ihe best way is for the Sunday school officials to take the initiative in the matter. Get the childrrn out and a benutifiul sight will be made a lasting impression; and best of nil, we can get ahead of our big sister. Salt Lake, in doing homage to Utah's greut guest. MOXT.WA EDITORS COMIXO. The Montana Press association- two carloads of them want to visit Salt Lake the last of the present month. The Utah Press association must take the lead in this mutter and plan a reception for the Mon-tanians Mon-tanians woithy of the Press Gang of hoth states. The Press association must take the lead and then we arc sure that the people will hack them. Most of the editors that are coming can write, and the impression that this region will make upon them will lie published, and it will be either to Utah's glory or shame, just as we in Utah shall deserve. When they come Utah will be advertised; that is sure, and cannot be helped, and Utah will have to supply the copy, either as eulogy or as an indictment of her hospitality and courtesy. The right thing must be done. Acting on the above suggestion sug-gestion the President of the Press association addressed a letter to the Montana association associa-tion asking for details of their arrangements, so that a proper reception niuy be accorded the visitors. It was suggested that, if convenient, they defer their visit until Monday, July 5lh, when the Utah editors are expected ex-pected to convene at Custilla.

The hnching at Urban a, Ohio, shows that public sentiment senti-ment is about the same in thickly thick-ly populated di?trictsas that in sparsely or frontier localities.
