rAxEs-wnY THEY ARE HIGH,


NoNAuNtht HVfihtCFs1
We arc In receipt of eomplalntsifrom all parts
OF The county that taxation Is cruelty high.
These complaints largely como from men oi
moderate means who nnd II dificuit to make
both ends meet, and arc compelled to do with
out many comforts to save money 10 Jay thcir
taxes
One farmer and his VILE came TO this city In
peccmbcr to do some trading and pay their
tu1ss The vile went to a weli.known dry
goods store, Brand Il Fox, To make purchases,
The husband went to the court house to pay his
taxes, promising to meet his vile ut the store
aud pay Tor whnt she purchased, lie found his
taxes several dollars more than they were last
yunr, mud his little iilc Of niUnoy was seriously
reduced. Tho wife desired TO purchase two
pair OF woolen blankets greatly needed for the
cold weather. The husband told her that hc
would not have money enough to buy all she
nccSteti, his taxes being so much higher than
they were the year before, and but one pair OF
blankets were bought, and other needed articles
were not bought
We have n dozen similar cases reported by
farmers and mechanics. O,iu widows half tax
on her little home was 800 aud she found Il nc
easy task to raise tlrc money. one farmer in,
forms us that his taxes nrc one dollar per acre
on his little farm and he reports similar cases
Another fnrmersnys TINT the Increase Of taxes
his farm In the last three years is over 25 per
cent Another farmer s0ys that half dozen
years ago when he had big" crops and big
prices for grain, wool and butter, he did not
mind taxes, but now with poor crops and low
prices the taxes grind terribly.
Our correspondents ask why their taxes have
bean increased. There is but one answer to thi.
! question. The county officials who are re-
sponsible for the levy, and in many of the town
ships the trustees and school boards, have be
come rccklcssly II not dishonesty extravagant
| The valuation OF property has been raised
steadily every yenr for half dozen years and
| the rates of taxation have also been increased
| Thus, taxes are high because tho valuation has
been increased and the rates increased.
Judge Wickham says in his decision that
every dollar taken by lIomcgardner, Douglass
Turner & Co., for horse hire and trips to Col
umbus has been taken in violation Of law; he
says that the money, over 5000 paid to Record
| cr Flynn for indcxing, has been Illegally paid
These are only two leaks out of n dozen. Al
every turn OF the road the officials, instead o
| trying to reduce taxes are seeking ways and
means Of making them higher.
Take for example, the Infrmary expenses
which have increased to an alarming extent

The New York Tribune sees no prospect
OF the Mormons migrating to the Sand
wich Islands because "the laws and consti-
tutions of that country are fashioned on
English models, which offer but little en-
couragement TO plural marriages." BY
the same token, they should emigrate from
the United States, since the laws of this
country are fashioned on the same Eng
lish models, and the Saints would have
the advantage of moving out of country
where they are in II hopeless minority into
a country where they would be in the as-
tendency, and could fashion models to
their liking. Unluckily, it is less ques-
ton of English models than of American
acres. The Saints are comfortably fixed
