The introduction of A. p A. ism into
politics is in reality the introduction of
religion into politics. This is always
to be deprecated and can do no good
to any one. Religion in politics is ever
a cause Of retardation rather than of
advancement, and such will be the eff
feet Of A. p A.-ism.
Up in Michigan it has become so
powerful that it claims it will control
the next legislature, and pass anti
Catholic legislation. State Senator Ju-
Illus NJ. Jamison, who is a confessed
member of the order and one of its
leading lights, does not hesitate TO
openly avow the purposes of the order
Its purposes are distinctly anti-Cath-
Ole. and if the A. P. A s shall be able
to carry them into effect it will tend TO
make the matter spread TO other states
where A. P. A.-ism has more or less of
foothold and following.
Senator Jamison outlines the a. p. A.
plank in Michigan as follows:
The A. p. a. proposes to repeal. in
the first place, that section of the stat
utes which provides that bishon may
hold title to real estate and other prom
erty for the use and benefit of the
Catholic church or any other institu-
ton. We shall pass a law that will
enable trustees to hold property not TO
exceed one year and not of more value
than $4,000 We shall force the Cath
Ollie institutions to incorporate and
hold property themselves, if they hold
it at all, and a move will be made to
tax all church property not actually
used for church purposes. We will go
further than this, and try to fix a law
so shat any church organization hav-

THE WATER RATES QUESTION.

There is a very general complaint
from the taxpayers of this years as
sessment of water rates. The question
is repeatedly asked of The Herald, by
telephone and otherwise: Has the
water rate been doubled this year. Or
what is the reason the assessment is
twice as much this year as last?"
The Herald has published the rates
provided for by ordinance. The super
intendent and his assistants have no
authority to charge more or less than
the rates fixed in the regular scale.
Each water user can easily reckon from
the figures given and taking the number
of square yards of lawn watered, or
the number of rooms supplied, or the
various uses to which the city water is
put, and find out if he has been unfair
ly assessed.
We do not think the officials connect
ed with the waterworks department
wish to do any injustice to the water
users. At the same time they do want
to look after the city's interests. They
intend to see that everybody who uses
the city water shall pay the lawful
amount therefor. Their diligence will
be evidence that they are doing their
duty.
But it may be that in their zeal in
the city's interests, overcharges may
be made by mistake. All such errors
should be rectffed. Application should
be made to the city council in such
cases. If there is no special provision
as TO equalization of the assessment of
water rates, the council has general
powers over all such matters and can
rectify wrongs in water rates as well
as other taxes.
Everybody resents excessive taxa
ton. Nobody regards being taxed as
pleasure. officers who are authorized
to make assessments have a delicate
duty to perform and should be strictly
just and fair. and also willing to ex-
plain the why's and wherefores when
objections are raised as to their work.
1t is natural that some impatience is
felt at repeated queries from dfsgruntl-
ed taxpayers, but courtesy will win
every time. while irritability or an inn
portant or domineering attitude only
excites rancor and further complaint.
We publish in another column a pro-
test Of water rate payer who is only
one of number of kickers, who claim
that their taxes for water have been
doubled this year. We do not wish it 4,
to be understood that we endorse what
is said about the water officers, we
simply give space to the views of otbare
with the hope that something will be
done to rectify any wrong that has
been wrought, whether by mistake or
otherwise, and that the officials as well
as the public may be dealt with Justly |
and the right may be done or both

THE SCHOOL ELECTION.

So we are to have partisan election
for members of the Board of Eduea-
ton, after all. Our friends the Repub-
licans are always willing to join in a
| citizens or non-partisan arrangement
for the choice of public officers. when
they are doubtful of getting their men
into place. When they. feel sure of their
ground they want partisans of their
own stripe in power even in the regu-
lation of school affairs.
The Democrats of the Third and
Fourth precincts should see to it that
Democrats are elected from their
wards. That can be done if due dill
gence is used and all funny business
is guarded against. They are both
Democratic precincts and there is no
good reason why they should not re-
turn Democrats to the Board seeing
that the Republicans are determined
to be partisan in their selections.
Good men should be put UP in all
the precincts. There is no need to
keep men always in office because they
start. Some changes are needed in the
constitution OF the Board. Notably
that is the case in the Second Pre-
cinct. Rotation in Office is a good thing
if not carried to great extremes. For
the efficiency of the Board of Educa-
ton some new blood is wanted. par
ticularly from the precinct named.
1t is of the greatest Importance that
not only men who are favorable tc
the cause of education shall be chosen
to fill the vacancies that will occur this
year, but that they shall be gentlemen,
who will not attempt to domineer or
force their views and schemes upon
their associates. Harmony among all
the members of the Board is essential
to the success of the body. Men of
differing political opinions can work
together in the cause of education
without a clash, if they are of the kind
that respect the rights and views Of
others and are not too opinionated and
crotchety. Send gentlemen to the
Board of Education.
The people universally should takel
interest in the school election. The
voting is generally too light on this
very important matter. We hope in
December the citizens of Salt Lake
will do their duty in this respect, and
that they will show by their ballots
that they appreciate the value of edu-
cation and the necessity of entrusting
its conduct in this city into competent
hands.

ing property worth over 100000 shall
pay taxes on all in excess of $50, 900,
That is a more radical policy than
would at first appear. 1t purposes to
make it impossible for bishop to hold
property in trust for the use and bene-
fit of the Catholic church or any other
institution. The policy of the Catholic
church is to have the bishop hold all
property within the diocese in his own
name but in reality in trust for it. In
fact Catholic bishops are the only rec
ognized corporations sole in the United
States. Here, then, is blow aimed at
fundamental policy of the Catholic
church.
Further on, Senator Jamison declares
that the A. p. AS will force the
Catholic institutions to incorporate and
hold property themselves, if they hold
1t at all" This latter clause is capa-
bic of various constructions, one of
which is that Catholics. in an ecclesi-
astical capacity, shall not be allowed
to hold property. This, of course, is an
extreme view, but when religious fan
atlclsm is once aroused and begins to
play a part in politics, it is the ex-
IRENE part that it always plays.
Ids Michigan programme may or
may not be carried out, but it shows
very plainly the trend OF A. P. A.-ism.
That 1t will ever become real danger
TO the country is scarcely probable, but
1t is a factor in politics that should be
eliminated as soon as possible. No
political party can afford to ally itself
with such an order, for sooner or later
the American people will repudiate it
and all who uphold its doctrines. for it
is contrary to their principles and SEN
timent

A WATER RATE KICK.
A Taxpayer Sets Forth Common
Grievance.

| A Taxpayer Sets Forth Common
| Grievance.
To the Editor of The Herald:
Salt Lake, Nov. %, 1894.
Dear Sir-In justice to the taxpayers
who have been so outrageously as
sessed by Major Daley and his assist
ant, Mr. Mcintyre, 1 would like to re-
ply through your columns to their
statement in today's Herald. Major
Daily says his assessment is law. ana
according to the ordinance | will reply
/ by stating that Shylock's demand for
his pound of flesh was according to
law.
For two years past I have been as
sessed by Mr.. Diehl on my double
house $14 in all and SO for lawn. This
year the same property is assessed at
$50 The double house contains eight
cen rooms and two bathrooms. SIX
rooms in the attic are not used except
for lumber or storage purposes. Tfere
is one low pressure boiler for steam
heating which is filled once year and
will not hold to exceed 100 gallons of
water. Does the ordinance intend that
should pay $40 for 100 gallons of wa
ter when the ordinance will give me
1000 gallons for % cents? Does the or
dinance intend 1 should pay Sc for 100
yards of lawn all in one piece and
fronting each house? Does the ordin-
ance intend that I should pay $40 for
wash trays in basement that are not
used, and is it a fact the law intends
that 1 should pay 1888 for each per-
son living in these two houses for our
own water and which the city has no
legal or just right to exact a prohibit
tive tariff from? The taxpayers will
not stand this kind of business.
Regarding the ordinance itself there
has never been any trouble over its
enforcement till Major Daily, uEf0rtu-
nately for the users of water, took
possession, and according to his auto
cratic assessment makes the taxpayers
toe the mark. The ordinance enforced
according to its spirit and the inten-
ton of its trainers will not work a
hardship. AS taxpayer [ try to pay
my way, and am willing to pay all
that is just and right, but when tax
becomes burdensome and beyond what

a GREAT SCHEME.

! The great railroad now being con-
structed by the Russian government
across Siberia is likely to open up rail
way communication between Europe
| and America, which will do away with
the miseries of sea travel for people
able to take the route which will be
established.
The railway from ST Petersburg
across the Siberian country is nearly
finished This has prompted certain
capitalists and railway magnates to
open their eyes to the practicability of
making connection with that road, so
that by simply crossing Behring straits
by ship, almost uninterrupted railway
communication can be had between
New York and the Russian capital
from which lines already extend to the
great cities of Europe
More than that; railroad bridge is
possible across the straits, and that is
thought of as part of the scheme by
which, eventually. train may be taken
from New York all the way to Paris.
Modern engineering has accomplished
much more remarkable things than
that, and by the opening of the next
century it is not improbable that ocean
travel from the United States to Europe
may be dispensed with by wealthy
tourists.
Every means of facilitating COM
munica ton between nations will prove
an aid to the extending of civilization,
and the establishment of that harmony
of feeling and union of interests that
are desirable, as harbingers of the day
when universal brotherhood shall bind
all peoples together and peace shall
extend its benedictions to the uttermost
bounds of the earth.

Yours respectfully,

Yes. One Democratic Senator voted
against the bill 1t was Senator Cock
Grill who had learned of some rumors
that the Sugar Trust, through Colonel
Clarkson, Colonel Trumbo and Bishop
Clawson were interested in the adj
mission of Utah on behalf of the Repub-
lican party, and that the scheme was
TO make Utah a Republican state, and
place it under the control of the Trust
and in the interest of Republican pol
itics. Others heard of the report, burt
became convinced that it was only ru-
NOR. Senator Cockeril was not SO con
WINGED and voted against the bill
solely for that reason. This is how the
matter has been explained by those
who know, and Delegate Rawlins is
familiar with all the facts in the case.
