On cigarettes weigh-ing not more than three pounds per thousand, one mill on each such cigarette ; BINGHAM SENATOR : GETS renin ... Intended as a step toward more complete law enforcement in the State, and at the same " time a measure to satisfy offi-cers of the law, citizens and - merchants, Senator Henry Ne-p- hi Standish, a resident of Bingham since 1876, introduced a Bill in the Senate which re-peals to a certain extent, the existing anti-cigaret- te law. Al-though the Bill has been reject-ed by the Committee it ha3 been thought the proposed statute j may yet become a law, after con-sidering the notoriety the State I has been subjetced to this past J week with every cross-roa- d I country newspaper ridiculing f the State and its people. The existing law is ignored, sneered at and is ridiculous to the out-sid- e world and hyprocitical to . ourselves. Senator Standish's ; Bill offered a new source of j revenue amounting to $300,000 a yean to the State. Is the state to have smoking, . with a revenue of $300,000 a year an honest observance of ; the law, or is it to have smoking without this revenue and an open , contempt 'for a law. which is not and cannot he enforced? Every overburdened taxpayer in Utah knows that the legisla-ture cannot afford to ignore the fact that the state needs this revenue. The Standish substi-tute measure makes it more dif-ficult for the minor to obtain cigarets than the present law. Under the present law a man violates the law no more is sell-ing to a minor than to an adult. -- - n he - determines to sell to adults he need draw no distinc-tions of age. Under the Stan-dish bill, as a dealer selling ci-garets to a minor would lose his license for a period of two years, I and in addition be subject to I fine and imprisonment. In view of the foregoing facts, J what motives can actuate a leg-- , islature to refuse to consider 1 this question on its merits? Class B. On cigarettes weigh-ing more than three pounds.per thousand, two mills on each such cigarette; Class C- - On cigarette papers or wrappers or any papers made or prepared for the purpose of making cigarettes, made up in packages, books or sets ; on each such package, book or set con-taining not more than fifty pa-pers, one-ha- lf cent; containing more than fifty papers but not more than one hundred papers, one cent; containing more than one hundred papers, one-ha-lf cent for each fifty papers or fractional part thereof. Class D. On tubes, one cent each fifty tubes or fractional part thereof. All cigarettes sold in this state under the provisions of this act shall be put up in pack-ages containing 5, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 40, 50, 80 or 100 cigarettes each. Before being delivered to the consumer, each package of cigarettes and each package, book or set of papers or of tubes, shall have securely affixed thereto a suitable stamp denoting the tax thereon, and said stamp shall be properly cancelled prior to such sale or removal for consumption, under suh regulations as the state treasurer shall prescribe. Section 5. Any person, firm or corporation violating any of the provisions of Sections 1 or 4 of this act shall be guilty of a mis-demeanor; and all cigarettes, cigarette papers or wrappers, and papers made or prepared for the purpose of making cigar-ettes in his possession or in his place of business shall be con-fiscated and forefeited to the etate. Section 6- - It shall be unlawful for any person not authorized hereby, with the intent to de-fraud the state, to make, alter, forge or counterfeit any license or stamp provided for in this act or to have in possession any forged, counterfeited, spurious or altered license or stamp knowing the snme to b" forged (ContinTicd'on I'ngo 4.)

They battled with each other like old-tim- e boxers for four rounds and proved to the fans present they were not rooming together, the referee's decision of a draw met with general approval.

JUDGES MORRIS SCORES PROHIBITION OFFICER John Jimpson pleaded "guil-ty" to a charge of violating the prohibiting law, the case was heard before Judge Page Morris at Salt Lake City on Monday last. The Judge severely criti-cised the actions of the prohibi-tion officer and said "If I had the power I'd suspend this sen-tence and the prohibition officer who secured the evidence which caused defendant to plead guil-ty." According to testimony intro-duced by District Attorney Charles M. Morris and admitted by Jimpson, the federal prohibi-tion officer making the arrest walked into Jimpson's place of business Saturday and told him he (the officer) was sick and asked Jimpson to procure a pint of liquor for him. Jimpson, the testimony shows, left his place of business and went out to buy the liquor. When he returned with it, the officer placed him under arrest. "Prohibition officers must not forget," said the judge, "that they are representatives of the governmnt. They are here to enforce the law, not to entice men to violate it. I will tolerate no such actions as these." UTAH-APE- X MINE One of the Best, in the Union The United States Supreme court declined to review the apex suit involving $1,200,000 Monday last between the Utah Consolidated Mining Co. and the Utah-Ape- x Mining Co. This will be the last resource of the Utah Consolidated and that Company will now have to pay $1,200,000, with interest to the Utah-Ape- x Mining Co. which amounts to slightly more than $2.00 a share for the 528,000 shares of the Utah-Ape- x stock. Today the Utah-Ape- x Mine can be placed on the rolls as one of the best lead producers, not only of the State, but of the country. The new flotation process is said to be profitable in every respect and will soon be in a po-sition to treat large, bodies of low grade ore which here-to-fo- re were unprofitable and with lead at 8 cents a pound the company should now be better than at any time in its history. The Utah-Ape- x Co. have in-stalled the bonus system with its employees and any man desir-ious of work can secure employ-ment with them, providing he SITUATION WANTED can prove his efficiency.
