Show ' law by receiving the signature of the governor. A sample of the Implied praise bestowed be-stowed upon this member of the legislature legis-lature for defeating by subterfuge the will of the people Is shown In the following fol-lowing excerpts from the columns of the contemporary from which wo quote these little eulogies. Thus: "One of these amendments Introduced' Introduc-ed' ostensibly to make Salt Lake and Ogden unit- In the local option lections, lec-tions, was a prime factor In the final execution of the bill. This amendment amend-ment provided that the provisions of the act should be operative in cities of more than 12,000 Inhabitants only when the legal voters of such cities shall have voted In favor of prohibition.' prohibi-tion.' The Joker In the amendment was that It did not say 'a majority of the voters of such citleB.' Under a strict construction, the vote for prohibition prohi-bition must be unanimous. Then, too, It 6ald 'the provision of this act, so that the regulation measure as applied to cities of more than 12,000 Inhabitants Inhabi-tants were not operative unless the voters should declare unanimously in favor of prohibition, and then, of course, there would be no need of regulation reg-ulation features." If Mr. Kuchler did the things with which our contemporary credits him, he Is an unfit representative of the people. lie should cither speak out now and repudiate the motives attributed at-tributed to his action, or he should adroit ad-roit that by means of trickery and deception de-ception he" proposed amendments that he knew would have exactly the opposite oppo-site effect of the arguments by which he supported them. If, as reported, this member by emphatic em-phatic assertions and plausible arguments argu-ments that were insincere and that he knew to be false and -misleading, deliberately de-liberately deceived his colleagues and tricked them into doing the very opposite oppo-site of what his arguments and pretended pre-tended sincerity led them to believe they were doing, then he was no representative rep-resentative of the people, but only a dangerous tool of other interests than those of the 6tate which, he was supposed sup-posed to represent. Observe that we do not accuse the senator of thia treachery and misrepresentation misrep-resentation on the floor of the senate. It Is the paper that impliedly praises him for his action that does this; and if the ' paper's Interpretation of his motives and actions is incorrect, now I3 the time for him to repudiate the praise bestowed upon what is at be3t a more mass of falsehoods and at no unreasonable Interpretation Is really a sort of solemn perjury.- Trickery and deception are always contemptible. But if displayed upon the floor of the higher house of the legislative body of a sovereign state, by one who has sworn to perform faithfully his duty to tho state and the people, they "seem monstrous in their colossal iniquity, and constitute a degree of high treason against tho very theory of our government that the people nilo. If it Is true that any senator, by means of personal disclaimers and other oth-er perjured arguments on the floor of the senate, induced his colleagues to undo the very thing they thought they were doing, and succeeded in getting any measure passed that he knew neither his fellow legislators nor himself him-self nor his constituents either desired or needed or would be able to make operative, then ho has been falso, not only to his own oath and to his own personal honor, but also to the very essence of representative government And if tho report on this legislator is true, and the people perceive that the persons whom they elected to enact en-act real laws, have actually spent weeks in solemnly enacting farclal parodies that they knew all along would be found inoperative, null, void, and unconstitutional, then the 'people must do something to repudiate such methods of abortatlve lawmaking or else themselves accept the odium of insincerity and rerjury in high places. Will not those false servants of .the people, who now think they have so shrewdly tricked and flouted them, be held as Webster says, to "answer for their enormous crime at the bar of public Judgment?" THE NEWS DOES NOT ADMIRE KUCHLER. The Deseret News evidently is not an admirer of Senator Rudolph Kuchler Kuch-ler of Weber county. In an editorial on the senator's manipulation of the liquor legislation, the News says: iZ VyTee of a local contemporary lr wh.h u C,';rtala tr,ckor' b' mns ot which it alleges that State Senator Kuchler succeeded in defeating liquor legislation, may not be merited by the recipient of this fulsome adulation But if it truly represents the stand of thls member of the legislature, then he is condemned, and by his friends, as perhaps no other legislator of Utah has ever been weighed lu the balance in th )S Want,ng- 11 waa rPrtl E, X co,umns a morning paper that ho governor's veto of the Badger bill was made easy by the shrewd and careful loading of the measure by Senator Rudolph Kuchler of Wcbor emmty.

The na per says further that Mr. Kuchlr "Introduced "In-troduced several amendments to the bill, which on their face appeared innocent in-nocent enough, but which would probably prob-ably have rendered the measure inoperative inop-erative If it had been enacted into law." Similar references to the "good work" of Senator Kuchler have several sever-al times previously appeared in the same paper, and always with a vein of implied or expressed praise for the deceptive tactics which, as that paper holds, resulted in making the bill really inoperative, even If It had become a |
