THE first act of the Legislature, ex-
tending the time for the payment OF
the taxes of 1890 to April, after they
had become delinquent, was not just
such an uct as we would have pre-
ferred recording as the initial step OF
legislation. The payment of taxes is
a hardship that is cheerfully and pa
triotically borne by the people in the
belief that it is a burden which rests
upon all shoulders with equal weight.
When any change is made which
either lessons or increases that re-
sponsibility, the adjustment is un-
equal, and dissatisfaction results.
Those who have borrowed money to
pay their taxes at the time prescribed
by law will pay more than their just
share, if those who failed to do SO are
given three months longer to make
good their delinquency. The haste
with which the measure was intro.
duced and passed establishes a bad
precedent, and leaves the impression
that the measure may not have re-
ceived the consideration it deserved.
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1891-01-16

A JOINT resolution introduced In the
House Yesterday, authorizing the ap-
Monument of committee to ascertain
the number of acres OF land belonging
to the State in Olympia, and to report
if speedy purchase of more land is not
advisable, or if the present holding
should not be sold and Il new site pur-
chased for tie State Capitol, has
stirred up consi,.crauie comment. The
impression was created that stealthy
effort was being made to put the capt.
tai on wheels for the benefit of real
estate spectators. Whether this is
true or not, its originators seem to
shave been ignorant OF the fact that the
present site of ten acres was donated
by Edmund Sylvester, the owner OF
the TOWNSHIP, on the express condition
that it was to be used for the seat OF
government, and with reversiOnary
clause 81 ould it cease to be appropri-
ated for that object. If change OF
location is decided upon, the State will
have nothing to sell, except the old
building, even if that does not pass to
the heirs of the original owner with
the ground. The general opinion is
that the amount of land is ample and
that better location could not have
been chosen than the eminence
known as Capitol Hill.

mon place car grease, must be paid.
All these tIifling expenses, and those
that are not triding, are sent to tie
Pennsylvania Railroad company for
payment, and behind all this there is
tale. Two or three years ago the
Pennsylvania company, which was
fighting another railroad for certain
terminal privileges in Washington,
took deliberate possession of a big
tract of land in the capital city. A big
depot was built, tracks were laid and
the company was monarch of all it
surveyed in that section. The land
steal raised big row. and the rumb-
lings OF discomfort have never been
silenced. Now rumor has it that there
will be bill introduced in congress
granting this land to the Pennsylvania
company. The land is worth more
than 81 100000 and was set apart for
government use, but if the bill should
pass why should not President HARRI-
son sign it to reciprocate for the glori-
Gus trip he as afforded, through The
kindness of the company. By this
means perhaps he will feel that he
really paid for his grand swing around
the circle. BENNY never forgets h S

WHAT SHALL BE D0NE9

If it is true that the special train con-
Geying President BENJAMIN HARRI-
SON and his party is to leave Salt
Lake City on Saturday afternoon, via
the R. G. w, and that it will reach
Provo at little after l O'Clock, what
is in the way of Provo doing herself
justice on the occasion by making
some demonstration? Just think of
it for one moment-that Provo. the
modest, reserved Garden City of Utah.
is to be graced, possibly for only few
moments, with the presence of the
person whose favor it is to hold the
highest Office in the gift of the
people of the grandest government the
sun ever shone upon.
Now what The DISPATCH would
advocate would be the calling of a
meeting tomorrow evening in the
courthouse, by Mayor j. E. BOOTH,
and citizens committee appointed of
representative men, to make every ar
rangement necessary for some demon
stration. Let there be plenty Of music,
neat address, and, if possible, plenty
OF carriages, together with the street.
car service,to take the party on quick
Jaunt through our enterprisiDg city.
1t would be well to send delegation
to Salt Lake, for the purpose of in
ducing the President if possible to do
nate thirty minutes of his valuable
time to the good, loyal people of Provo.
Let something be done at once.
LATER.-Since the above was writ
ten Mayor BOOTH has been to Salt
Lake City, on this subject. Further
particulars are found on the local page
of this issue.

ing Secretary CHANDLER, has issued
the following circular of Instructions
to registers and receivers of local land
offices:
Your attention is called to depart
mental decision of October 8, 1889, i'll

tries when sought to be perfected un-
der the act Of March 5, 1887, within

tion of notice to do so. Publication of
notice of intentions to make final
proof must be made in all cases Of en-
tries instituted since that time.
When the land has not been sur
veyed the notice must contain a de-
scription of the land as nearly as
possible without survey, by giving
with as much clearneSs and precision
as possible the locality of the tract,
with reference to- the already estab-
llShed line OF survey or to known and
conspicuous landmarks, so as to admit
of its being readily identified.
When final proof has been submitted
on an entry upon unsuryeyed land, if
no objections exist in your office, you
will at once forward it to this office
without collecting purchase money
and without issuing the final papers.
When the land shall have been sur
veYed you will require the party to
make proof in the form of an affidavit,
duly corroborated, showing the lineal
subdivisions of his claims.
When this has been done you will
correct your records to make them
describe the land by legal subdivisions,
and if the proof submitted to this
Office has been found satisfactory, and
if no objection exists in your office,
you will issue firal papers upon pay
ment of the amount due.
