THE STATE RATE OF TAXATION.


An Increase in the rate of State taxation
is announced by the State Board OF Eqriali-
cation from 452 to 54.4 This will not
afford the Executive an opportunity to
point to an array Of figures tie show that
taxation under Democratic administration
has declined. An advance Of nearly 20
per cent. is not comforting figure to
which to refer the people. However WISE
well-Ordered or necessary all taxation is
obnoxious to the masses. 1t is safe to say
that taxes are paid in the majority of cases
more reluctantly than any other calls upon
the purse. There is something in the very
nomenclature of taxation that CRATES
harshly upon mems nerves. Generally the
directors increase in number and loudness
of tone in proportion as the assessment roll
is followed according to the descending
scale. As rule, take the man who is
bowling" the loudest about the burdens
of taxation and he pays the least The
sincere protestant who pays a round sum,
and feels it to be burden indeed, is much
less yociferous in his complaining. He at
least has property to be protected, and is
concerned in an economical and safe gov
eminent. Politically the decrease of the
tax rate is the food of hope for an admin
istration. 1t is a safe and powerful argu-
ment for the hastings. OF this influence
the Democratic administration is likely
to be shorn. True, good proportion of the
burden may be attempted to be divided
with the Legislature, and it will be
better for the State if it can be, for these
contentious are not profitable to the peo-
pie. Real economy in State government
Is not reached through them, but through
non-political and wise action in conduct
ing the affairs of State, and in legislative
foresight and business ability, rather than
political predominance of this or that
party. But in the present instance there
are burdens the Democracy must bear
alone. 1t is responsible and it alone, for
the non-payment into the State Treasury
of about Sl,000,000 of taxes paid by the
railroad companies. 1t is responsible, and
it alone, for an extraordinary session of
the Legislature, and the cost of which was
the beginning of evil These two blum
ders on its part cannot be shifted They
will be heard of in next years campaign :;
they are becoming important factors al
ready, for thus early candidates are enter
ing the lists, and the hustle of preparation
is heard along the lines of both political
armies. 1t will be quite early enough
then, when from the stump of 1886 shall
resound the appeals of office-seeking pa
triots, to consider in detail the cause of in
creased State taxation; how much is
chargeable to administrative mismanage-
ment, to official stupidity and laundering :;
to legislative extravaganza, and how much
to other conditions. 1t will be food for
thought, however, in the meantime to
compare now, in the light of the increase
of the rate of taxation, the values of real
and personal property in 1884 and 1885.
In the first instance the sum total was
1921 ,07S, 767, while for this year the aggre-
gate is $S59,512,3S4.

says
The mountain quail are going down to
the valley quite rapidly, and. therefore.
hunters in this vicinity and above here will
have no opportunity of enjoying the rare
sport of killing some of these game birds.
unless they violate the game law of the
State, for by the LIST of October nearly all of
the birds viii be away down in the valleys.
therefore we submit that the game laws are
unjust. The young quail have been large
enough to shoot ever since the first of this
month, and the law should be changed so
that mountain 5portsmen can have chance
to Kill quail while the birds are in the
mountains. The same may be said of deer.
few OF the residents here have chance to
hunt until November 1st, then the close
season begins and we are alike cut off from
hunting deer as well as quail The law
should be changed, we repeat.

THE LATEST BLACK EYE TO THE NOR
MONS


Bishop Sharp, polygamist, and of the
Mormon dynasty, has bowed to the law of
the land, pleaded guilty to its violations
and pledged himself to go hence and edo so
no more" Bishop Sharp is a shrewd man,
If not sincere one. He sees what he
knew long ago, that the time must come
when polygamy would go to the wall, and
the moral sense of an enlightened people
rule. But the instant he confesses this
the Mormon press fall upon and rend him
1t Is the old story of the wolf that Stun
bled and fell victim to his own pack.
The Desert Neus, speaking of the Bishops
submission to the law in open Court, says
It was the one opportunity of his life to sus
tam principle which he had accepted as ema-
mating from divine source in the form of a sa.
cred obligation, 1t was within his power also
TO act in such manner as to probably relax the
general bitterness felt throughout the country
toward his co-religionistS, and, by the consist
eney OF his own course, cause Latter-day Saints
having confidence in his integrity to cheerfully
follow brilliant example. This eliminating
circumstance OF long, useful and capable ca
reer he choose to turn in direction the anti
podes of that which every true and consistent
Latter-day Saint had right to expect of him.
And then the Necs, the church organ, pro-
ceeds to do the scalping act. Sharp is a
rich man, a church official of broad infiu-
ence, man of power, and his breaking
down is gall and NORWOOD to the Ners
1t declares his acts to have been opposed
to his religious obligations to have
amounted to confession that Mormonism
is imposture, and that his submission
tends to intensity and confirm the
adverse opinion" prevailing regarding
that religion. The Nelns declares Sharp's
example to be lamentable; :" that it will
influence his co-religionists to degree,
but not so greatly as, the enemies of the
Church claim. 1t charges Sharp with
treachery, practically with moral perjury
with ingenious manipulation of the situa-
ton for dramatic effect, and with attempt
ing to occupy two and adverse positions.
In the meantime the Gentle population Of
Salt Lake City applaud Sharp's action, and
the Court is so impressed with its import
ance, that it lets him go with nominal
punishment. That the Mormon Church
has received black eye from which it will
be slow to recover, is evidenced by this
! pitiful pleading of the Neacs:
To the Latter-dsy Saints we would saw Nc
matter what position any single man or Number
OF men may take in regard to what God ha,
! given, the truth must be sustained and vindi
Gated at all hazards. No matter how dark the
clouds that are now apparently frowning upor
! weather the storm. 1t may rage for a season
| after which the turbulent waters win subside
! Meanwhile there must be, of what God ha,
| given to the Saints, no surrender
