MORMONS IN
MEXICO.
Tho hopelessness of tho situation In
Mexico Is well Illustrated In the caso
of the rebels' demand for corn, nnd
the refusal even to tho tssuo of bat
tleof tho Mormons, on whom tho de
mand was mndo.
The Mormons took Into that God
forsaken land tho only machinery of
redemption known to earth Industry,
and order. And their reward Is the
raider; tho loot of their granaries, the
theft of their cattle, and tne pillage
of the farms.
1 When tho Mormons refused that de
mand, and sent back word that tbey
would fight rather than surrender a
bushel of corn to the demand of mau
raders, they reflected credit on the
American race. They were invited
down there In Mexico, andjtbey have
I greatly benefited the region In' which
'they settled.. They wcro assured of
peace and ordtr, the protection of
t
their homes md their accumulations.
Of course Mexico can not wake good
ihat guaranUe, and the only thing for
Americans who go Into Mexico ts to
it, prepared to toko care of thcmselvcB
It is to tho credit of the Mormons in
Mexico that tho; have dono Just that.
Hut :t would bo to the credit of tne
Ur-itf d StnU to muke sure of order
1 1 MeMto ly t!.klng over the control
of that country. And It would be the
greatest blessing for all tho people of
Mexico, too. Ogden Examiner.

REFORMAnON by compensation
I.
21 i ja.mes h. Moony
Many great reforms yhlch would be
of Inestimable benefit to the human
rnce are often Intel fcrcd with ar.
made Impossible by well inclining 1
trcmlsts. An Illustration of this truth
are the opinions expressed recr..
by stme piominent memucrs or a wel
known woman's club where the ute o.
tobacco among men wub being d ts
cussed. Ono of tho enthusiastic ar.t
tobacco speakers denounced nil uso of
tobacco filthy and disgusting and nr
gued for tho extermination of the en
tiro tobacco industry.
In her violent dislike of tiie weed
this nggrcsslve and militant reformer
proposed a resolution that the Wom
an's club should petition the leglsiu
ture to pass a law prohibiting the
growing, sale or manufacture In any
form, whether for snuff, chewing or
smoking purposes.
A wiser and more conservative nie.-.i
ber of the club suggested that men
engaged In the growing and manufac
turing of tobacco should bo compensat
ed for stock on hand, buildings ana
the machinery used In the business.
1 This precipitated an active debate
among tho club members a majorlt,
taking tho view that compensation
was only Justice to tho men engages
In the business who had long paid n
tax on their product, ana w.10 hat.
built up Inrgo manufacturing establlsn
ments under the laws prescribed tiy
tho Internnl Rovcnuo Departn1c.1v
the United States Government.
Tho discussion made evident that
had a proposition been submitted to
tho members of tho club to voto or.
tho extermination of the tobacco trad.,
nu reform would bo possible so long
ns tho no compensation Idea pre
vailed. Slnny good peoplo who are heartily
opposed to the uso of tobneco In nil
forms would not do violence to tv
consciences by voting for extermina
tion without compensation to growers,
dealers nnd manufacturers.
Thus wo seo how a fow ultra-etreni
Ists enn defeat a desirable reform
Thero may bo no argument In fnvo
of tho uso of tobacco. And really there
can bo no sound argument JiWnvor
I of etcrmlnntlng dealers In tobacco.
' who for years have compiled with the
laws In conducting what has ahvays
been regnrded as a legitimate busl-
1 ness, without compensating them for
tho loss of their Investments.
It Is this destructive spirit which
too often stands In tho way of truo
reform.
I Under a plan of compensation r
I ono can except tobacco users would
! object to seeing' tobacco abolished.
' On n subject of this nature; wo can
learn wisdom from tho staunch little
Republic of Switzerland which recent
ly nbollshed tho salo and manufacture
of nbslntho within Its bordors, but i
, doing so provided nn claborato system
' of compensation to nil manufacturers
' and wages for n fixed period to their
employees.
' ThlB humnno method of dealing with
something which had been Judgec: af
detrimental to the community hns
much to commend It.
If tho nbolltlon of tho manufacture
and salo of abslntho wns a benefit to
tho entlro population of Switzerland
It wns only Just and right thnt the
loss should not bo Inflicted upor '"
flrmB nnd individuals who had en
gaged In tho business In good faith
and In accordance with In1-
The general assembly of tho Swiss
Confederacy mado the following provi
sions for carrying out tho Federal law
of June 24, 1910, for the prohlbttton
of absinthe:
Tho owners and tenants (farmers)
of lands on which absinthe "hnd been
cultivated for tho purpose of distil
lation wero entitled to pnrtlal lndem
nlty to tho extent that they were ar
fected by tho prohibition law. Tho
owners nnd lease holders of nbslntne
v. ho helped tho cultlvntors r.nd tne
employees of tho manufacturers llke
wlso wore Indemnified, Tho owners
of tho landed cstntes on which ab
slntho had been culttvnted ror tho
purposo of dUtlllatlon, wero entitled
to tho nvorago vnluo of the mna nt
a fixed sum per aero.
Compensation was also mado to
owners of buildings and plants which
hnd been In use for tho manufacture
storage and salo of absinthe. Tho
profits destroyed were reckoned and
compensation fixed for tho manufac
turer and also for the day laborers cm
ployed In tho cultlvntlon of abslntho.
This last compensation was figured on
the loss of wages. Other provisions
for Indemnity wero nwarded tho manu
facturers based upon the showings of
their books.
Thus wo seo that tho Republic of
Switzerland In prohibiting the manu
facture and sale of abslntho proceed
ed upon the theory that this product
was detrimental to tho community and
In terminating Rb manufacture, tho
entire country benefited should pay
the expenso of this reform. Even
where a long recognized business of
any kind Is compulsorlly extinguished
with compensation, there 1b some
hardship placed upon the persons put
out of business, because they are
forced to engage In som0 line of live
lihood which may be new and experi
mental to them and in which the
must run the risk of failure incident
to lack of knowledge.
It has been claimed by many sin
cere temperance,, advocates In, our own
country that many "wet" and "dry'
elections are lost to the causo of nro
hlbltlon, because of the lack of this
feature of compensation to the men
who are deprived of their business.
The rqmnrlc Is frequently henrd
"I do not approve tho saloon, but I
hardly HMnk It right to voto peoplo
out of business ivlthout giving tnem
anything for whnt Is destroyed."
This doctrine of compensation holds
(iced In rll rencrnl benefits. When a
turnpike Is built by tho state or a
now street opened by tho city, the
owners cf the land nre compensated
for any portion of their property
which Is appropriated for tho puullc
use.
Tho Republic of Switzerland has
taught tho world many lessons In eu
onomics, nnd this subject of compen
sation In carrying out reform is one
I In which the Swiss government nap
taken advanced ground, and It is on'
which might well bo studied by stafB
men tho world over.
FARM LOANS.
Freedom from excesslvo Interest
charges Is seen for the farmer In tho
Investigation, recently Inaugurated by
tho government through flvo Europ
ean nmbnssndors, of tho Eurpoonn me
thod which enables fnrmers to borrow
money nt the same rates which or
charged tho big corporations. At pres
ent tho farmer 1b forced to borr"
from small investors in his neighbor
hood and tho rates ho has tr
often excesslvo. Tho new system, I'
ndopted as It Is In Europo, will place
farm securities In the general money
mnrkot of tho world. Tho method In
Franco Is to plnco first mortgago lonnB
with tho farmer nnd Issue bonds,
based on tho mortgages, In tho flnnn
clnl markets. A similar method ap
plicable to this country would place
In the farmer's hands tho financial as
sistance which he often requires for
the betterment of his farming methods
