The direct tax bill now before the
House will be voted On next Thurs
day. The tax which is now proposed
to refund amounted to $20,000,00O,
which was levied and apportioned
among the inhabitants Of the several
States by an act approved in August,
1861. Some of the States and Terri
tories paid the entire. sum assessed up
on them; others paid in part, and
Utah paid nothing, The collection of
the tax has been suspended for many
years and it is now claimed by the ad
vocates of the bill that the unpaid bal
ances should be refunded, or the
amounts collected should be refunded,
and the unpaid balance cancelled. -
A number Of the States of the
North and West assumed the pay
nent OF the tax assessment apportion..
ed to their inha bitants and received
credit at the Treasury for fifteen per
cent. as compensation. The total
amount collected, including the fifteen
per cent was 81 Z, ,563, ,67S..32.

SALT LAKE s Los ANGELES.

Now we see it stated that the Union
Pacific is backing the Salt Lake & Los
Angeles project; that the Central Pa
ci6c is behind the enterprise; that the
Missouri Pacific will build the road
and that the proposed line is to be
merely continuation of the Denver q
Rio Grande, which was recently organ
lied to continue its road to Salt Lake.
All this We find in exchanges re-
ceived by one mail. AS hereto
fore stated in The HERALD, neither
of the companies mentioned has
anything whatever to do with the Salt
Lake d Los Angeles railway project
neither of them has put up dollar for
the enterprise, and up to the present
time there is not the slightest conn
ton between any of the roads and the
proposed one. The Salt Lake & Los
Angeles is an independent scheme, and
will probably be built, equipped and
operated by an independent company
free from entangling alliances and
combinations. It is hoped that this
will be the case, and if the negotiations
now pending shall come to successful
issue as expected, the hope will be real
lied.
1t may be stated, however, that q
desire has been expressed on the part
of other railway companies to unite
with the Salt Lake & Los Angeles, and
py combination make through line
to the Pacific. So fartas the people of
Salt Lake are concerned, they prefer an
independent company, but they want
most, the road constructed.

IT Is said by sportsmen and, by farm
ers, that the. late heavy snowstorms
and the severely cold weather COM
bined, have destroyed many of the
quail in this comfy. Some fear that
none of these birds will be able to live
through the winter. These beautiful
and valuable game birds were getting a
fair start in Salt Lake County. and in
the course of year or two would have
been source of great pleasure, as well
as profit, to the sportsman. In view of
the wholesale destruction that has taken
place during the past two weeks, and
which is likely to continue for some
time to come, it would be well for the
Legislature to extend the law against
the killing ofnquail, at least. until the
meeting of the next Assembly, in 1890.
If this shall not be done, all the trouble
and expense that have been taken to
esta~ lish the quail IN this valley viii be
lost.

ADMIN1sRERING THE OATH.

Marshall moved that the oath be admin
istered to such members of the Council as
had not already taken it. The President
stated that the Secretary had already been
notified to do so.
So reads. the report of the Council
proceedings, on Wednesday. and it ma
turally inspires the inquiry, SIS it es-
genital that the oath be administered
by the Secretary of the Territory"
We are aware that this has been the
rule, but why it should be so has never
appeared, nor has anybody pointed on t
the law for it. 1t would seem from the
above that the cust9&n has beer so long
ID vogue that it can1ot be departed
from. The righteousness of the prop
osition won d appear after a moments
reflection. Suppose the Secretary were
absent, as he happened TO be on the
occasion referred to and had been all
day, would any body say that the oath
could not be administered to a mem
Der? We understand that two or three
members actually sat in the chamber
through one or more entire sessions,
unable to take part in the proceedings,
or taking part in them illegally, because
the Secretary didn't happen to be
around to swear them. Isn't it about
time to depart from, or at least to IN
derstand that there can be departure
from, the rule which makes it abso-
lutely necessary for the Territorial Sec
rotary to administer the oath before a
legislator can begin his work? The law
says that a certain oath shall be taken,
but it does not say that it shall be taken
before the Secretary, nor before any
other official in particular. ANY per-
son who is competent to administer an
oath, is just as competent to administer
it to the legislators as the Secretary is.

IT IS very clever street car manage
ment that can checkmate the averag-
conductor who is disposed "to knock
down." The bell-punch was thought to
be an institution that would force the
conductor to be honest, but in little
while there appeared an invention that
would ring all right enough, but
wouldn't punch. Various tricks and
devices have been brought out to beat
the companies. and they have all been
more or less successful. On the first of
the year the manager of a line
In Chicago undertook to defeat the
conductors by selling coupon tickets
twenty-five for dollar, the single fare
being five cents. The order was to ring
the bell for every coupon, as formerly.
The scheme apparently worked admir-
ably, and the superintendent was con-
graduating himself on his success, when
al at once it developed that it was
losing game. Most people paid cash
for their fare, and the conductors
urned in coupons which they had
purchased at the rate OF twenty-t wo
for dollar, thus making ten cents
on every dollar. In one week the
men of the punch knocked. down
about $4,000, when the manager
dropped on" the business and ordered
q return to cash tickets. 1t has not
occurred to street car managers, seem
lngly, that good way to prevent steal
ing by their conductors is to pay wages
for which honest men can afford to work.
