Show The Times Endorsed. Denver News. The Salt Lake Times states that the secretaries of the real estate exchange und chamber of commerce are deluged with letters from alleged eastern manufacturers manu-facturers who are asking for "bonuses" to remove their plants to Salt Lake. The most of these fellows aro frauds. Denver and rucblo and Trinidad have been overrun with them and other towns have had their share of them. Bonuses enough havo been asked by theso glibe-tongued promoters to bankrupt bank-rupt the state. The position taken by The Times is a very sensible ono. "As a rule," it says, "a substantial and bona tide enterprise will not begin with an inquiry 'how much of a bonus will you give us?' but it will rather investigate the Held and tho resources first, and, becoming satisfied as to both, sco next what privileges it can obtain from us. Where tho advantages are mutual there will bo no difficulty in coming to an ugreemont. Millions for promising industries, in-dustries, but not a penny for financial wrecks." |
