AS to taxing railroad lands sold upon
contract, we are inclined for once to a.
gree with Rohrer. We have always
thought, and long before we knew there
WAS such man us Rohrer in existence,
that primarily the railroad lands stand
just where the government lands do,
and that neither are taxable rs real es-
state until decided. However, we are
not lawyer enough to decide very posi-
lively upon this question. We can see
that the recent decision that railroad
lands are not taxable, after they have
been taxed for ten years in this and the
surrounding counties, will lead to in
terminable difficulties.

it being Kean's fret appearance as q
star in Shskesperian drama. The
enthusiasm and frequently bestowed

ously at the first appearance of Keene
On the stage, and he ieamed tn grow

preston attracted universal attention
and was regarded as wonderful in its

forms, gave a pleasing air to the or1i-
nary stage business. The duel scene

IT LOOKS as if the Union Pacific
propose to keep Utah potatoes at
home this year. Last month the
carload rate On potatoes to Denver
was 75c. per hundred; this month the
price is $3.50. It is not 20 hard on
Utah farmers es on the people east OF
the Rocky Mountains, who will be
compelled to eat an inferior tuber or
pay q round price for the good ar
ticle. Potatoes grown in this terri
tory find an excellent market in the
vest, in which direction it is prob
able a lsrge amount will go this sea-
son. Il is said the potato crop this
year is one of the largest ever known
in Utah. A farmer was predicting n
few days ego that within elk weeks
potatoes would be ceiling in Salt
Lake at 25c. 8 bushel, and he said
even at that low figure the grower, IN
most instances, would be well paid
for his labor, tbs yield having been
so large. However, the farmers
ought not to get frightened, nor be
lieye sll that is told them by specu-
lators and dealers. Before selling il
will be we'll enough to wait and learn
the truth about the crop. when the
price may be fixed intelligently. At
best the farmer is seldom paid too
much for bis products.

The INooEsIsTENCIEs OF the law, or
Of Its administration. are 50 common
as to almost be regarded as the rule
instead of the exception. A most
glaring instance of the inconsistent
possibilities OF "justice" comes from
California. s San Francisco judge
sentenced q prisoner who pleaded
guilty to having killed a man, to six
years in the penilentiary, and at the
same time sentenced boy to fifteen
years in the state prison for stealing
some cigarettes from q depot stand.
The Judge kept within the law, but
for the sake of decency be should have
given different sentences in these
cases. The theft was a second
oGsnse, snd therefore the sentence
could be increased. bat the murderer
had never killed but the enc man,
and was rich enough to buy bis cigars.

TABERNACLE SERVICES.

In the Tabernacle Oh Sunday alter
noon the services began by the choir
singing the hymn:
Ny SOULS full ofpeace and love, etc.
Prayer by Elder George Romney.
Choir:
Behold, the great Redeemer died, etc.
ELDER GEORGE @. FERGUSON sd-
dressed the congregation, saying the
religion OF Jesus Christ was one of
love, representing God az the father
OF toe humsn family, engaged in try
ing to save his children. He had
been anxious since before the founds-
ton OF the world to advance and
benefit his children. In visions given
to Joseph Smith it Was stated that
God was taking notice OF those in
tended for this earth. He was repre-
scented ss watching the different
spirits surrounding him in the eternal
world. There were some OF these
spirits with greater intelligence and
force OF character than the others,
and those were the ones that God ssid
be would make the leaders of bis
people. Among them was Jesus
Christ, the noblest OF them all. and
he it was that God selected for re-
deeming humanity. Jesus selected
his lieutenants and assistants 10 per-
form the work. The principles of the
gospel we're not such sc could be
changed by any church presidents or
councils, but they had been formed
in the councils OF heaven, and were
therefore eternal, and everlasting.
They must come from heaven through
revelation to man and we're unchange-
able. The gospel was free IN every
particular, and it was not forced upon
anyone; all were free to accspt or re.
iect as they preferred. But the man
who refused to believe in the gospel Of
Jesus cut himself of from the benefits |
promised to the believers. The |
elder here referred to some Of the |
first principles OF the gospel, as re-
oentance and baptism. Only through |
BAPTISM could one enter the kingdom

referred to as a regeneration, or sec
md birth, was the same now as IN

That canal Coaunarnm.

New York, 4.-Tbe Times says: J.
and W. Seligman & Co. cabled to
Paris Yesterday for further details OF
the reported formation OF a syndicate
for the construction Of the Panama
canal, but received no answer up 20
close OF business last evening. The
syndicate was formed on Saturday,
and it was decided to emit loan OF
400, 900, 600 france about the 10th OF
this month. Trenor W. Park, presi-
dent OF the Panama RAi.rCad Com
pAny, said last nign: to q reporter oil

prise. Recently PARK vas called
upon by SeligmAn, Lesseps' agent,
who deslred to know If the Panama
Railroad Company vas ready to de-
liver the road to the canal syndicate
in accordance With the terms OF tue
agreement. Park replied that it was.
Park also stated that by the terms OF
the grant OF the Colombian gov
eminent to tae PspamA Rail-
road Company, no canal can
be constructed within it, territory
without awarding damages TO the
rsilroad company, to be determined
by board OF arbitration, and no rail
road can be constructed at ali across
the isthmus without the unqualified
consent of the Panama Railrosd
Company. As it is first necessary tt
have the railroad before the cana
can be built, Lesseps concluded Il
purchase the Panama road outright
Park thinks that the canal is eptirel!
practicable. in his opinion, and tina
he believes its construction vii
shortly be entered upon. The capita
OF the syndicate, be understood to b
$50,000,000. He did net believe tn

IrIsa little battle that will be de-
oided in Colorado to-day. but it will
have more or less influence upon the
big one that is to occur all over the
republic next month. The Centen-
NAL State is te elect governor, state
officers and representative in Con-
gress to-day. The democrats do not
expect to win, though they have
made gallant fight. Their CANVASS
has been thorough, and nothing has
been left undone that would tend to
reduce the republican majority. It is
true there is possibility OF demo-
cratic success, but there is little prob
ability OF tuch an outcome. All the
election machinery is in the bands OF
the republicans, and the votera are 30
evenly divided as to numbers, that
it will be queer il the ins cannot hold
their places, particularly where the ms
belong to the party that never loses
an Office il it is possible TO bold it by
force or fraud. At the state election
two years ago the republican maiority
for governor WAS only thirty-three
though it had plurality over the
democratic candidate OF 1928. At
thrt election the greenbackers cast
nearly 5000 votes. Last year the
greenback vote was but ]. 246, show
ing that it was going down while the
dem ncrstic was increasing. II the
democrats can keep the republican
majority down to 1900 to-day, it will
be regarded as triumph rather than
defsat for the former.

NOTWITHSTANDING THE newspapers
have had a good deal to say lately
urging officials chosen at the late
general election to obtain their COM
missions, we understand very few
of the gentlemen who are by law re-
euiced TO get commissions, complied
with the statute. This negligence is
probably owing 10 q misunderstand-
ing, or want Of knowledge of a new
act. Heretofore only certain county
officers were obliged to be commits
stoned by the governor, hut at the
last session Of the Legislature a law
was enacted, whether inadvertently
or otherwise, which seems to require
that all persons reelected" TO office
must Obtain the governors commits
sion. The portion of the act Especial
Electionsl referred to provides THAT
each person elected or appointed to
any county or precinct Office shall
qualify, as By Law required, within
twenty days after receiving notice
OF his election or appointment;
and all persons Reelected to any office.
thereby becoming their OlCn successors,
shall, aohen so elected, gius bonds,
qualify and be commissioned By the
Governor, as in otEer cases required By
lGw." We cannot think that the
Legislature intended to make law
that would require county clerks.
recorders, treasurers, prosecuting
attorneys, selectmeD, etc, who are
their own successors, to obtain COM
missions from the governor, when
they the officially do not have to be
commissioned for the first time; but
the law is in the book and cannot
now be changed to mean what the
Lawmakers intended. As most OF the
recorders, clerks, seleotmen and
others il the LIST, chosen at the last
election, are their own successors,
they will have to obtain commissions
from the Governor, and should attend
to it promptly, &c otherwise some
question may arise IS to the legality
Of their acts.
