' Try Shepard Co. on colections. If the first part of the legislative session is frittered away without accomplishing much, as is usually the case, during the rush and flood of bills that is bound to come as the time for adjournment draws near, some law totally undesired or even greatly detrimental to the public, some scheme of graft or grab that may bring discredit upon a city or county is likely to be nut through. Its viciousness being overlooked by even the wary, owing to the pressure of business.

Here are a few abroad and important questions which may profitably be taken up during the coming session. .. The adoption of a primary election law. It is a common cry now with both parties ' that primaries are often packed by friends and supporters of a particular candidate or ring, and that the election of the delegates is rushed through before a majority of the voters In the precinct have ex unpressed their choice. This is not common, not in Utah alone, but everywhere where a primary is held open for only an hour or two and a slate is voted for. A new primary election law, providing for the nomination in mass convention of delegates who are not accredited until they are elected at a primary election, held in the same manner that the general election Is held, will remedy this difficulty. Heel ers may, of course, pack the , mass convention, but their nominations do not create the delegates and it is thus the possible for the citizens to defeat the seating of any proposed delegate to undeis who nominating convention, sirable to the majority. This plan has 5 proved a great success in INTERNATIONAL some states. JO JC Another question of the greatest importance to citizens of both Salt Lake City and county would be raised by a proposition to consolidate tho Salt Lake municipal and the Salt Lake county governments. There are some difficulties in the way of accomplishing this, but once brought to a successful conclusion, the advantages are many and obvious. The expenses of a great many offices would be cut in half and the burden upon the taxpayers greatly lessened. There could be no conflict between city and county authorities as to whose duty it was to care for some poor, dying unfortunate, a conflict that has at times lasted under present conditions until 'the one in distress has died of neglect before the issut was settled. The city of Denver by a law of that kind lias effected a great saving in administrative expenses. ,50 This valley should have an experimental farm. The experimental stations at present supported by the state are doing a good work, but none of them is located where the soil is similar to that surrounding Salt Lake. As this valley is one of the most fer-tilin the state and has by all odds the best market, the solution of Its agricultural and horticultural problems should be undertaken by the best ' talent obtainable. to bound is The irrigation question new need some attention, but the measure passed last session, has proved generally satisfactory. e . -- JO PAPER JO The directors of the International Paper company are considering the issue of bonds to provide funds for working capital and developing its water power. The directors have been considering the issue of $20,000,000 of bonds, reserving $10,000,000 of the first bonds to care for the present outstanding issue of $9,866,000 first mortgage 6 per cent bonds due 1918, and selling $6,000,000 or $7,000,000 of new bonds to pay off floating debt and provide additional working capital, and provide capital to' develop additional water power. The International Paper company owns a number of undeveloped water powers, which, if developed, would permit of the grinding of more pulp and permit of a material decrease in the cost of paper production. It would require an expenditure of between and $3,000,000 to develop these water powers. The directors of the company believe that the issue of these bonds would benefit the stock Insofar as it wouM make the company Independent of the banks, would reduce costs and increase net earnings, and place the common stock of the company in line for dividends. The International Paper company is now producing 1,800 tons of news print its per day the greatest output-iand is it getting good prices history, for its product, or about 2 cents per cents per lb., as compared with 1 a is not It year ago. pound making Vz cent per pound additional profit upon its product, compared with last year, as costs of pulp and other raw material have advanced. A year ago, however, it was turning out only about 500 tons of news print per day. The bonds will be secured by a first mortgage On the properties that are now free from mortgage and a second mortgage on those properties that are already covered by a first' mortgage. A good1 proportion of these bonds will be taken by directors and others identified with the company, and It is expected the balance will be sold to banding interests. Boston News con-ve-tib- lo $2,-000.0- 00 There should be a change in the law by which the school, which is the home of the deaf and dumb, and of the blind, Is under one roof and under one management. The deaf and dumb, by very reason of their affliction, are unconsciously noisy and boisterous while the blind with, whom they are housed, are exceedingly' sensitive in their senses of hearing and touch. The consequence is that the blind suffer greatly from their enforced association with the deaf mutes. For humans reasons the deaf and dumb should have quarters of their own and so should the blind.

As it stands now, the state board of horticulture has the power to direct the county commissioners of the various counties as to the employment of fruit tree and other inspectors, and also in the expenditure of money for the extermination of pests. The law should be changed so as to vest those powers in the county commissioners and to make the county commissioners responsible for the proper enforcement of the law against pests. jl Jl There should also be a change in the manner of electing county commissioners for the long and short terms so that the short term members would not as now be kept at a continual .
