Show Salt Lake Is to Be Given Square Deal by Railroads HERE never ne was any my reason why hy Salt Lake Lako THERE J 1 should not be considered by the railroads as of ofas ofas as great importance in its territory as are arc tha the tho larger cities in relation on to tho the tributary districts of wh which ch they are arc the center Numerically y and with reference to bank hank clearings Utah's capital cannot be deemed of or equal importance with the populous eastern communities ties but its commanding position with reference to the rich country which lies about it and the vastness of the great western empire of or which it is the metropolis s should secure for fOL it equal consideration from the railroads so far as 85 long hauls are concerned The announcement that future rates to conventions and similar meetings in Salt SnIt Lake will be as low as to larger cities indicates that this city eity is to t receive tho the consideration that is com com- commensurate commensurate commensurate with its its' importance and that the railroads railroads railroads rail rail- roads ha have hwe e determined to give it a square deal This policy will be bc as its advantageous to the great transportation systems as ns to io this city The earnings earnings earn earn- ings of a railroad according to the great transportation tion managers depends upon freight and not passenger passenger pas pas- I business The peopling of the open spaces in inthe inthe inthe the west should be of first importance to the railway railway railway rail rail- way managers to whom a given territory means only an increase in freight production The more thoroughly the people of or the east cast become acquainted acquaint acquaint- ed with the resources of this state slate the sooner will the idle land be placed at the sort of work it ought to be doing and the greater will be the tho tonnage which the railroads will receive for transportation Meetings that attract large numbers of substantial substantial people to Salt Lake are aro of benefit to the railroads railroads railroads rail rail- roads not only in the cash fares paid but in the certainty that their visits will mean the thc entrance of settlers who will ill at once become contributors to railroad coffers through the thc freight they will fur fur- nish Proponents of railroad anti-railroad legislation have given as their reason for unusual virulence in their at attacks attacks attacks at- at tacks th the charge that the transportation systems have up certain communities at the expense of others that freight and passenger rates have been arranged so o as to favor certain cities irrespective irrespective irre inc of tho the effect upon others Unquestionably there has been truth in these charges and it is true that Salt Lake has been among those cities which the railroads have i ignored when benefits were wore to tobe tobe tobe be had If that condition of affa affairs 1 s is passing it willbe will willbe willbe be an excellent thing for the ra railroads as well a as asfor asfor for this city T 4 A HP HE E habit of some news- news I Employment TEE J papers in in referring referring- to toc the tuc
