THAT LIGHTING TAX.

The Herald has pointed out the in
justice which would be done to many
of the taxpayers of this city, if the
lighting tax ordinance as passed by the
city council should be enforced. Not
only is the ordinance Objectionable in
levying a special tax for a purpose
which has heretofore been provided for
out of the general funds of the city,
but it is inequitable in it's manner OF
levying the tax, because ct does not
divide the burden according to the
the respective taxpayers
1t will be found, too, on closely scan
ming the provisions of the city char.
ter as amended from time to time by
the Legislature, that the power claim
ed to levy and assess a local tax for
lighting the streets is at least of very
doubtful authority. Laying gas mains
and pipes for private buildings is not
providing the streets with illumination
Only by stretch of the language of
the charter can it be made to appear
that for street lamps, which have been
and may be erected by the city council
for the public benefit, a special local
assessment may be made upon the
abutting property.
But admitting for arguments sake
that the power to do this has been
bestowed upon the city, it will be seen
from the charter that the assessment
may be levied upon the property in
the district according 90 the benefits
received, or be paid out of the general
or contingent funds of the city. The
front foot system may be adopted to
pay for sewers or drains. but we do
not find that it may be lawfully adopt
ed to pay for street lighting.
Even if the charter could be so con-
strued as giving power to use the front
footage method of assessment for thia
purpose, that is no good reason why II
should be adopted, when other courses

A WRONG CONSTRUCTION.

we have received a court eous letter
from the International Religious
Liberty Association, in reference to the
remarks Of The Herald concerning the
seventh day Sabbath movement We
endorsed the efforts that are being made
by that association in the interests of
religious freedom, but advised its lead
ers to instruct its members to obey the
law. To this the association replies,
thanking The Herald for its kindly
mention of the movement, and offering
some remarks in defence of its attitude
as to Sunday labor. Here is an extract:
But that law which says. Remember
the Sabbath day to keep it holy"
THE seventh day is the Sabbath" says
also "Six days shalt thou labor Now
although we should rest upon the
seventh day in obedience to this law
If we should labor but five days, in
Difference to some other law, would
transgressors? Had not I'VE ought to
obey God rather than men?" 1t seems
to us so; and it is only from a sense of
loyalty to God. 1T is not from any de-
sire to have simply our way that we
thus differ from many of our fellow
men. And we trust it is from no spirit
of stubibornness that we cannot respond
to the feeling of many honest people
that we should compromise upon this
matter.
It is Strange that SO irrational an
argument should be used by rational
and educated men. Is it possible they
can believe that the injunction, "six
days shalt thou labor and do all thy
work but the seventh day is the Sab
BATH ETC., means that everybody is
required to work every day in the week
except the Sabbath? Then people have
no right to take holiday at any time
except upon the Sabbath. No one has a
right to observe Christmas, or New
Years, or any of the legal holidays
which are the only times of recreation
for many of the worlds workers.
The idea is simply an absurdity. If

MUCH Apo ABOUT r.ITrLE.

Not a day passes but typographical
errors occur in the daily papers of this
Il city. They are incident to the rush of
work which crowds upon the daily news
toilers. In the affidavit made by H.
A. Smith concerning irregularities and
mistakes in the canvass of votes in the
Third precinct, the figure 2 as copied in
The Herald, was left out of the date,
sNovember "a" Other affidavits of
the same date and connected with it APP
peared without error. The context
showed that the date was inaccurate.
But our morning contemporary, which
could not but understand from its own
daily experience how that happened,
publishes a long string of alleged argu-
ment to the effect that the afidavit
"bears the earmark of falsehood and
clumsy fabrication" the date as it ap-
peared November 4 being before the
occurrences to which the affidavit re-
fers.
That is on par with the rest of the
accusations with which that paper
teens every day concerning a matter
which. is comprehended in a very small
compass, but which is being distorted
out of all correct proportions. Some
election mistakes have occurred. Some
rectify which the law provides a
sufficient remedy. 1t is the duty of the
Utah Commission to apply that remedy.
They have done nothing but what they
fare legally required to do. and the at
tempt is being made to stop all investi-
cation.
That is the root and offspring of the
whole difficulty, which is magnified and
twisted out of shape, to prejudice the
public. The impression is being created
that any attempt to rectify the I'M
doubted errors which have occurred in
the first canvass, is altogether wrong
and not to be tolerated. But common
sense-which, however, is being cast
to the winds by the obiectors-would
suggest the question: IF a recount is
a crime, why does the law provide for
it?"
We advise our readers to eat their
Christmas dinner with complacency.
and not worry themselves over the ex-
aggerations and tumult, and threats
that are being made about this affair,
which, though serious in it's nature,
turns on legal question which is be-
ing submitted to judicial determination,
and which some rash and Incorporate
people would like to see disposed of by
violence. They will not have their way
The matter will be settled by lawful
methods. And meanwhile, it would be
better for the public serenity, if those
seekers after sensation, who manufac-
ture fraud" out of mistakes, and who
publish. with scare-heads such scandal
lous and misleading articles as that we
refer to, based upon a very simple
typographical error which they fully
comprehend, were placed in solitary
confinement for a few weeks. or until
the n1ooted question on which this
whole controversy turns has been set
tied by a competent court

Crnnlercial wars between nations are
liable to be very, disastrous and en-
gender almost as much ili-feeling as
physical war. Yet at times they may
become necessary in order ito preserve
a nations se6-respect and to teach
Those nations that provoke them that
There is a limit beyond which they
must NOT go. Several countries with
which the United States have a. large
'trade have been approaching very near
to this limit. This is particularly so
with Germany and Spain. The former
has been making objections on one
ground or another to American meats,
and all efforts ito meet them seem to
be unayaiIing. Spain has been dfscrim
mating against American flour, and
this seems to be about the last straw
on the camel's back. Dispatches from
Washington a few days. ago an
nounced that the President might
use the power vested in him
20 issue a. proclamation excluding the
Importation into the United States of the
products of Spain. If he should do SO
in the case of this country he probably
would do the same thing in the case of
other countries pursuing the same pol
icy. On the general subject the Phila-
delphia Ledger has the following:
1T appears that the President has
power, under the meat inspection act of
$780, TO issue a proclamation excluding
from importation to the United States
the products of any nation which ex-
cludes the products of this country, and
thereafter the Importation of the pro
dues named in the proclamation shall
be prohibited until the action is re-
voked. Spain is discriminating against
American flour and Germany against
American meats. Spain seems to be the
more obnoxious offender, and unless it
recedes from it's position, after a rea-
sonable period for reflection, 1T is prob
able that the potency of the act will be
tested. A commercial war is not to be
welcomed ON trivial grounds, but re-
taliation in kind may be the only
course left open for this country con-
sisten't with its dignity"
Neither the most powerful nor the
pro6luest naltion of Europe must go too
far in this matter.
