Long life to both of them . The members of the council are act- ing like a lot of babies in the matter of the saloon keepers licenses which they have threatened to revoke as a punishment for the saloon men violating the Sunday closing law. The saloon men have been convicted and fined for the offense. There does not appear to be any doubt of their guilt. If the council really wants to enforce the Sunday -- y i . that it is an absolute falsehood. Not a with the same men holding subscriber Truth talked to but claimed he was satisfied with paying one month in advance, but that he thought three months was an absolute hold up. This action only goes to show the greed of this concern. Not content with charging double what the new company would ask for a better service, this hoggish corporation proposes to demand and collect money and draw interest upon it for ninety days in advance. Truth has no means of ascertaining the number of subscribers in the city who have a measured service, but is certain that the sum represented is an enormous one and as quarterly loans are common, is certain also, that the amount of money this outfit will get from the pockets of the people will be a large one. And that too without excuse, other than that it is unsatisfactory to the people and the company. Of course it means that the business might require an additional collector or two: tne present force being overworked, and that this aggregation of grabbers does not want to employ any more than it can actually get along with in order that royalties may be taken out of Salt Lake pockets and sent east. How long is this town going to stand for this hold up business? With relief knocking at the door, how long will the mild mannered citizen of Zion permit his representatives in the city government to misrepresent him and let these legalized boodlers rob him right and left? Let the other company in and give the public some relief. It is high time the long suffering public asserted itself. Truth i3 the only paper which dared to raise its voice in the matter. The other jour office per- petually. For nearly half a century the grizzled veterans have drawn down their pay from the governmental treasury as though they inherited the offices and could transmit them to their progeny. The forced retirement of George L. Shoup as a member of the Republican National committee was the beginning of the end. There is every indication that the hand of President Roosevelt was concerned in the disturbance that has landed all the veterans on the outside of the Federal breastworks. A sort of political paradox existed in Idaho that must have attracted the attention of the president. The state was continually and perpetually Democratic, while the Federal offices were held down by the same men from year to year. At the last state election it is reliably reported that George L. Shoup received 915,000 from the funds of the National committee to change the complexion of the commonwealth and elect a Republican to the United States senate. The money was properly distributed, but without result, and the same old office holders continued to draw their pay. That the old guard dies but never surrenders is evidenced from the tenacity with which Joseph Perrault tried to hang on to the office of surveyor generaL It took the combined force of the civil service commission and the resident the United States to move 6 im from ofthe nest, and even now he threatens his enemies with dire disaster. The other two Joes, Joe Pinkham and Joe Beal, were more easily disposed of, after holding office during two generations.
