A FALSE REPORT!

1t is gravely stated by an unreliable
contemporary that the Utah Commits,
sion have formulated a new oath" to
be taken by voters at the general cleo
ton. This new oath. which 1t is said
they have added as if to give force to
a ruling" is the regular additional
oath provided for in the Edmunds-
Tucker law as to bigamy and polygamy
1t is not new, and the Commission has
not added it.. the addition was made
by law and has been in use since 1877
When the present Commissioners com
menced the work of appointing and
instructing the registration officers
they issued circular in which two
oaths were formulated, one for the
regular general election which is as
required by the Edmunds-Tucker act
the other for the election of delegates
to the constitutional election as pro-
vided for in the enabling act for state
hood. These have not been added to
or changed, nor has any new OATH
been prepared. and the whole sensation
of our unprincipled contemporary is
what is vulgarly termed a fake"
As to the effects of the so-called
amnesty proclamation of President Har-
rison, they We're as near nothing in rela-
ton to the voting privilege as possible
Any person who can take the Edmunds-
Tucker oath can register and vote al
any general election. No person can
vote at a general election who cannot
take that oath, Therefore, the amnesty
is not worth a cent so far as voting is
concerned People who take the oath
can register just as well without as
with the amnesty. and people who can
not take the oath cannot register with
the amnesty. 1t had effect in some few
cases of criminal character, that is
all.

amount Of the tariff CT the article Of

purchaser cannot say that ne viii take
his money and go abroad and buy the
things he needs, for he is confronted
with the fact that the seller has the
taxing power of the government at his
disposal, and if buyer purchases
Iabroad he is mulcted the amount of the
tariff for the protection of the seller.
His choice is a Hobson's choice; it is
the same free choice that man has
lat whose head pistol is pointed when
he is told to give up his money or take
| the consequences. If he takes the con-
sequences ne loses his money anyhow
The laboring men of this country
have had to work in free and oouapet-
ing market, but when they have re-
lceived their hard-earned money they
have been compelled to purchase in a
restricted and protected market. On
their meagre and precarious income the
protected interests have been allowed
ito lay taxes that have taken from
them not two per cent. of it but twenty
five. fifty. and even q greater per cent.
And this income tax that the poor man
has paid has gone not to the govern
nent but to the trusts and monoplists
which have grown richer and richer
While the people have grown poorer
and poorer. che income tax in this
country that needs abolishing is the
double and treble price that the poor
man pays for the benefit of infant in
dustr;es''.

class OF Utah's citizens in rclsti5n t.
the suffrage, the Commissioners wars
divided last year, as will be seen from
this paragraph from their report:
THE Commission was divided in
opinion on the question, as there was
a division of opinion among the most
eminent lawyers and jurists OF the
territory the majority being of the
opinion that strict construction be-
ing given to the acts of Congress ana
the opinions of the Supreme Court OF
the United States would operate TO
the continued Acknowledgement of the
classes as electors hitherto affected.
They made very stupid ruling, two
of the board dissenting, in which they
actually legislated or added to the-law,
and that is taken no notice Of by the
present Commission in their instruc-
tons to the registration officers.
Now let the matter be clearly under
stood. To register and vote for the
election of delegates to the Constitu-
tional Convention. a person has only
to make oath that he has, or will be at
the time of election, a citizen Of the
United States. twenty-one years of age,
and has resided in the territory one
year next preceding the election. His
former status as q polygamist, il he
has been one. has nothing to do with
the matter. The provision is made to
cover every such case.
For the general election man has 10
take the regular Edmunds-Tucker oath.
no different from that taken By vot-
ers after the law was passed in 1877.
There is nothing new required by the
rulings or suggestions of the present
Commission.
! Now. let those who have not regis
tersd proceed to do so. If they can
take the simple oath for the consti-
tutional election. but not the other,
they should register for that election
only. If they can take both oaths law
fully. they should register for both
elections. And they shodld pay no at
tention to the false and foolish ru-
mors started by Republicans and
echoed in their unreliable organ.

INCOME TAXES on Rich AND POOR

Among the many objections made to
the new tariff law is the income tax
provision. This provision was more
strenuously opposed in the<Senate than
in the House and among its chief op-
ponents in the Senate was Senator Hill
of New York. The press Of the East
was also largely against it, and this
included the press of both parties. The
same was the case in the Senate, the
provision was opposed by some Demo-
crat and the Republicans.
The object of the income tax is pure
ly to raise revenue for the government
and no other person or institution will
derive any benefit from it. This is as
it should be, for all taxes laid should
be for the sole benefit Of the govern
ment. But it is objected that the in
come tax is inquisitorial IN its nature.
The same objection can be made to all
taxes. To be sure the fiscal agents whose
duty it will be to collect it must rely
more or less on the honesty of men
liable to the tax; there is some chance
for fraud, there will probably be some
fraud, and such being the case the gov
eminent revenue will suffer. This can
not be entirely avoided.
There is another system of taxation
in this country far more burdensome
than an income tax, for it falls heavily
on those who are without any fixed in
come and whose livelihood depends up
on the wages they earn, This tax is
the tariff. Laid ostensibly on imports
to raise revenue for the purpose Of de-
fraying the governments expenses, il
is means by which manufacturers are
enabled to demand of every purchases

Revising the Tariff

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2s.-Members OF the
ways and means committee Of the house
are watching with keenest interest tho
action of tho senatorial caucus on tho
tariff bill. The tendency to put the Will
son bill under fire is watched for the ulti-
mate effect It will have on the revision of
the tar,n. The statement made IN caucus
that tho Wilson bill was framed without
any consultation with President Cleveland
or Secretary Carlisle is denied by MEM
bers of the committee. An associated
press representative talked to-day with
all the democratic members Of the conn
mlttee In the city. Il disclosed that they
are not npprchensiye that the senaie's
action would materially change the policy
and schedules of the Wilson bill.
