I WEBER COUNTY'S TWO STATE SENATORS So far Weber county's senators ip the legislature hae made B good record on progressive legislation The two senators oted for the Income tax amendment and for the popular ele -tion of T'nitrd States th also hae been a force In favor of a change in the manner of handling state funds. Though elected as regular Repub licans, they can be classed as pro- i gresslves a condition of which they 6hould be proud. I HOW TO MEASURE THE STREAMS The University of Utah, in order to encourage the measurement of streams, and to assist in teaching farmers and others who are Interested in the use and distribution of wafer, bow to measure it, has Issued a bul letln on 'Measurement of Plowing 8treams, " which is being distributed ;i fre Richard R Lyman, author of the bulletin. In an introductory, savs k 51 "The value of our Irrigated farms and of the water used upon them, also of the products they produce, is meat ured in numbers of so manv figures in . o that these numbers could hardlyVmean anything, if I had them to give Water is the Intrinsic thine that makes these great values yet we handle It. we di vert It. we use it. we waste It, In a most careless and extravagant fash ion. "Water, in the west, represents money counted In untold millions If a banker were to handle cash of one one thousandth part of this value without keeping and without making records of what passes through his hands, that banker would find him self very quickly in the clutches of the law It will finally become as Im portant to know and to keep a record of the amount of water that flows In a stream to know to whom this water belongs and to whom and in what quantities it is distributed, as it Is to i keep a record of the amount of gold a mine produces, the amount of cash a j bank handleB. to whom this wealth belongs, and how. to whom, and In what quantities it Is distributed ' The bulletin has been prepared with the expectation that it will as slst the farmers, and others in th' state who own water, to measure this water in an accurate way. I IF THE GREEK FLEET ENTERS THE DARDANELLES. The allies are halted at the Tchat ialja lines, and the promife Is they jmust remain there nn Indefinite lensth of time heiorc the fortlflca , lions can be so weakened as to al low Insre3s to the besiegers We have looked upon the renewal of hostilities by the Balkan states s offering as many dangers of a reverse as oppor tunities for final rictory. There is hope though of a speedy ending of the war in favor of the Christian armies, if a passage for the Greek fleet through the Dardanelles to in front of Constantinople can he forced. The war news of today Is to the ef fect that a move of such importance is under consideration and that an attack on fjalllpoli, as the first step In the opening up of the Dardanelles, is In progress. Once inside the Dardanelles, the warships of Qreece would be in a po 'sitlon to shut off all Turkish rein forcements from Asiatic Turkey, to I destroy the source of supply of the army in the Tchatalja (oris and even to lav waste to Constantinople j itself Turkey ls said to be in financial 1 straits. Our opinion is that both the J allies and Turks are Btrainlng their resources In wealtb and human lives to the utmost to keep up the conflict, and that peace, would be welcomed Bulgaria not less thaukfully than by I j the Ottomans. UTAH LEGISLATURE ONCE MORE REACTIONARY. Once more I tah, under the present political control, has placed itself with the reactionaries Nearly every state in the I'nlon Is marching for ward politically, but I tah is Simply jmorkinc time. Yesterday the senate of the I'tah legislature defeated the Joint resolution proposing the ratifi cation of the amendment to the con stitution, providing for the election of United States senators by direct vote of the people. An abbreviated report of the pro ceedings Is as follows The resolution lacked but one vote I of enough to pass it. It receled nine .votes. There were seen votes acainst f and two senators declined to vote on the measure The two not roting were Senator I Thorn ley of Dals and Senator W S Han sen of Ro Flder. The vote of the senate rejecting the resolution was somewhat of a snr prise. Inasmuch as the Republican state platform had declared for the till The Democratic members and I some of the Republican members of the senate ehlded the others for fail ure to redeem platform pledges Most of the senators expressed themselves as being decidedly opposed to the measure personally, though some ex plainer) their votes in favor of the resolution by the fact that it was out of deference to the party platform, and not because they personally fa vored the resolution The roll call shower the following rote on the resolution Ayes Booth, Cottrell, Craig, Funk Kellj Olson.

Ridcout Republican, led the fighi for the resolution while Senator S. A. Iverson of Carbon and Senator W Mont Fern of sa;, ae wfrp the principal speakers against the reso lution Senators l nooth of rtah county and Senator rharles Cottrell. Jr.. of Salt Lake, both said they were opposed to the resolution, but felt the) could not do otherwise than vote for It ince the platform had declar- 'ed for It Attempting a defense of his action in voting azalnst ratification ot the amendment. Senator Ferry of Salt like COUttty, a Republican leader, said: 1 am resolved to ote against this measure and I do not feel that I can refrain fiom raising my olee against j what I consider to be hasty, ill-con sidered and dangerous legislation. It Is true thar our parti platform de clared for this resolution, but 1 feel that it was one of those planks that sometimes creep into platforms. As I rememtier it at the time this plank was adopted, many members had 'eft the hall and It was put through with only a lew voting on it or understand ing It. 'I do not feel bound by this plank to vote for what I believe to be a step backward It is popular these days to adocate the thing that is new, and unpopular to stand for something that has been tried and proved. I believe I the constitution of the l'nited States is as much a vital force today as It ever was. I believe that It is a wise prilirv ihat prompted the farthers to ' placo the election of I nltcd States senators one degree removed from the popular vote ' Representati es to congress are chosen every two years They are chosen by popular vote and are In j close touch with the people. The senators are chosen every six vears ' by the legislatures and act as a brake or a balance on the house to prevent popular elamor from going too far "If we ratify this amendment v, c shall live to regret it 1 believe that I the requisite number of states will ratify this amendment and it will become a part of the constitution Then I think the next move will be to choose the senators on a basis of population and we In the smaller states will lose a largo share of our representation in the national con gress. I hope that Utah will lle up to1 h'-r reputation as a conservative state and will not be swaed too much bj popular clamor If this be a pood measure, it will develop so later I et us not rush into this' it will be hard! to get out. Iet us wait a while Let! us not be bound by the un-Republi-ran plank that crept Into our plat- ; fotni. I believe that this measure is contrary to the principles of the Re-i publican party in spite of our plat- j form declaration "I am glad to stand by the consti tution and therefore it is with great pleasure that I cast m vote against this resolution " Senator Funk replying to Ferry, said Some years after the adoption of the federal constitution there came a movement for the centralization of the government and the removal of the powers from the people. Vow, we arc In the midst of a great popular demand that the powers that should I be Inherent rights of the people be people be returned to I hem The pen dulum s swinging toward the people and none can stop It "I am not alarmed at the danger of at. ending the sacred constitution and let me sav that none hold it more sacred than I The fathers pro vided the way It should be amended nd the people have the right to i amend It if the choose The sena I tor was right when he said this amendment would surely be adopted. , The arguments against Its adoption are too puerile to desere considera tion I am not alarmed at the pros pect of apportioning senators to the states according to population That I time can never come The constitu tion provides that each state shall hae two members of the l'nited States senate. Refore the constitu tion can be amended otherwise the proposed change muar have the ap proval of two-thirds of each house of congress and the ratification of ! three-fourths of the states In the , I'nlon When It comes to the ratifl 1 cation of three-fourths of the 6tates in the I'nlon. When it comes to the , ratification of a constitutional amend ment Utah, Idaho. Nevada. Wyoming or even Vermont I like to speak of ennont In connection w ith Ctah Is JuBt an powerful as New York or Pennsylvania and Illinois and I don t ! anticipate that the smaller states will ever vote to give awav their repre sentation in the Inlted States senate to the larger states There is abso lutely no argument D this contention ! It Is raised as a harmless scare. -! crow to frighten us "The direct election of l'nited States senators is coming whether I'tah gets In the band wagon or hangs behind as it did in the case , of the income tax amendment. I have the greatest pleasure of my life In casting niv voce In favor of the election of l'nited States senators by the people." Senator Funk s speech was follcwed by a rousing round of applause from the gallery The statements by Funk and Ferry j present the two points of view The reactlonarr fear the people) fears popular clamor, the progrcs-; sixes have confidence in the people, feeling that if the theory of popular government is right, then the nearer the people are to their servants, the ; bettei will bc the stewardship Fop ular clamor if such be a correct j term to apply to the deliberate act of oting is to be preferred to the; cunning crafty, clever deception; practiced by man-, of thoe who mis represent the people in the l'nited States 6enate and who are nothing more than the pleaders of powerful I Interests laboring for special prlvll- ege from the government. The country known that this form of representative government has brought upon the nation all Its po litical scandals and nearly all the political abuses of which the people complain today, an(j though we sub stitute popular clamor, with its oc- Icaslonal offenses against right, the I wrongs that might be perpetrated could not approach In degree to the of fending under the present svstem.

It Is not long since a member of the judiciary attempted to throw men In to Jail without trial or hearing. In plain violation of the constitution, an effort balked by the supreme court. And now the executive in the in stance of a vacancy occurring in the house of representatives decides thai he will not call a speelal election, al though the constitution, article I section 8 commands him to do so In the following language " T he governor shall Issue writs of election to fill vacancies that may occur in either house of the legisla ture ' " The governor has refused to issue the call for a special election, and by 50 doing has gained the 111 will of his own political organ When a govern ors own paper denounces him, the chief executive must be most forlorn, if not discredited oo AMERICAN AUTHOR BURIED IN LONDON Ixmdon.
