Show Conference Rates. In wilting of tile proposal to leducc confcicncc rales from M.so to i-.M a round trip, the "only"organ of opposi tion in the county says that "from a purely pecuniary and business standpoint, stand-point, It would bo tie lit most places If the late was doubled." And this Is culalcnt to saying that "the only" would prefer to see them doubled rather rath-er than cut to V2.i0. Tiik Kkpuiim-cax Kkpuiim-cax has no argument on this seme at all, THE POINT AT ISSUE IS why should this people be discriminated against? Why should the thousands who go to conference to hear their gieat leaders be accorded less consideration consid-eration than a single train of people from Salt Lake who desire logo to Ogdcn to attend a bull-tight? Do bull-tights hold so much good ror the people, that It must be made easy ror them to get there? Is there something about a funeral that is so helpful that the people must be transported at as little cost as possible in order to get them to attend?Posslbly the railroads, belonging as they do to the opposition, reel that the conferences are detrimental detri-mental to the people anyway, and maintain the high tatc in order to keep away as many as possible? Is this the reason the .I.S0 confeience ate icmaiiis wlicii any old rate asked ask-ed tor can he seemed at other times? Or Is It possible that the chinch has some understanding with the railroad whereby this rate, which even "the only" admits Isexoibltant, Is "returned. "return-ed. In part at least, in concessions that benelit the church thiough Its head-ipiaiteis." head-ipiaiteis." Tiik Kki'I'iimi'an does not believe Ihlslstiue. It does not bellee that the church" linds it necessaiy to "woil, the people In this way. The idea or the church "iitering into an agieement with a rallioad to charge an inconsistent pi Ice for Hanspoita-tionon Hanspoita-tionon thestiength of a porlon of that "excess" being leturned to the chinch In the way or concessions, Is perfectly ridiculous. The church authoilties, church agents, and other high olllelals are Justly entitled to every consideration considera-tion the lalhoads can grant in the matter of pa ses, and such like com t-csles-but the hnpicssiou given us Is that tliese favors are few and many of the olllelals are foiced to bow and sci ape and plead for these. The peoplo of this valley have a right to a t-.'iO confcicncc rale, AND THEY CAN SKCl'KE IT If they will backup this proposition and go after It as If they wanted It. .lust keep this in mind and watch Tiik Kki'uu-r.K'AN's Kki'uu-r.K'AN's next Issue for something Intel In-tel esting on the subject. |
