It is unfortunate that the feeling between the various classes of water users is so bitter. It cropped out at every turn in the convention and prevented even an approach to the adoption of a uniform system. The farmers opposed everything the stock and sheepmen favored and the stock and sheepmen were equally determined in their opposition to everything the farmers wanted. Then the stockmen and the sheep owners had a quarrel among themselves. The cow counties were arrayed against Salt Lake county ard looked . with suspicion on everything suggested by the .Salt Lake delegates, and so it went. The exchange of ideas however may and probably will be productive of good in the course of time. A uniform and equitable system of irrigation is one of the crying necessities of the state. Councilman Robertson's excuse that he lost the bundle of prize fight passes for his fellow members at a Republican caucus may account for the in- creased attendance at a recent mill.

Sharp and Vigus gave as a reason for opposing the grant that they doubted the wisdom of granting the franchise until it could be shown beyond a doubt that the applicants were acting in good faith. We wonder what evidence they would that the applicants are acting in good faith. It would certainly take to convince something super-huma- n those gentlemen. If an angel came down from heaven and bore testimony to it, we suspect they would remain unconvinced. Those who are opposed to the new system appear to have the interest of the Bell Telephone comfi-a- pany more at heart than tnat of the people of Salt Lake, who have been made to pay tribute to that monopoly for many years.
