'FAXPAYERs AND THE STATE CON.
STITUTI0N.

The Springfield Republican has an
article on the provision of the Utah
State constitution which forbids coun-
ties, cities, towns and villages borrow
| ing money in excess of the amount of
the taxes in the current year, except
ing by the authority of a vote of ma
! jority of the citizens who have paid a
property tax for one year preceding. 1t
has this to say in commentator of the
provisions
This property tax requirement has
much to be said in its favor; there is
! little doubt that ii viii check extraYa-
| Gance for men who pay the taxes VIII
/ be chary about laying additional bur
! denS on themselves, and the same re-
/ luctance to add to their burdens ought
to make the property holders who vote
! to tax themselves to an unusual
amount, see to it that their money is
wisely expended. 1t is not easy to de-
/ fend the right of the non-taXpayer to
| lay burdens on property holders by
voting all sorts of appropriations, wise
| and otherwise without much regard to
how the money for them is to be raised,
as is very often done.
Some of the so-caIled friends of
labor here have been trying to- i'm
press upon working people that the
foregoing provision is an infringement
upon the rights of men who are not
property holders, and that it relates to
! the general right of franchise. That
the latter idea is untrue The Herald
has several times explained. The
/ Springfield Republican understands
that, and says:
Aside from this restriction the suf-
/ frage in Utah is open to all citizens of
| either sex, who can meet certain sim
pie requirements as to residence, not
! even poll tax being required.
Working people, if they read the con-
stitution for themselves instead of al
lowing demagogues to interpret it for
them, viii see that the right to vote
and hold Office is secured by that in
strument to all citizens without refer
ence to property. 1t could not be more
liberal in that respect than it is.
1t is only when vote is taken upon
the assessment of tax on property
that taxpayers are given the exclusive
right to decide upon it. Every sane
man VIII see the JuStlce OF lnlS ana per-
ceive that it is quite as much for the
benefit and protection of working peo-
pie as any other portion of the COM
munity
The State constitution, though not
absolutely perfect, is such an instru-
menit as can be consistently supported
by every citizen of Utah. 1t does not
matter of what class, religion, party or
condition he may be, the means of OBJ
tanning the liberty we have all desired
so long should be hailed with JOY by
every man and woman, and all true
patriots will vote Constitution Yes"
at the election next November.

DISCUSSING THAT provision of the
constitution of the proposed state of
Utah which limits the borrowing
power of counties, cities and towns,
the St Louis Globe-Democrat says:
THE object of this provision, of
course, is the laudable one of prevent
ing extravaganza by leaving the ques-
ton of expenditure beyond a certain
limit to the men who have TO bear
the burden. Such a safeguard could
hardly have failed to prevent much of
the reckless bond-voting by which
many Western communities have beer
practically bankrupted in times past;
and it was probably the lesson of those
misfortunes that led the Utah consti-
tution-makers to adopt the property
tax qualification of suffrage in that
relation. There is always a tempta-
ton in a new country to discount the
future by mourning large obligations
for public improvements, instead of
waiting until the accumulation of
wealth justifes them The modern
pioneer wants all the advantages of
civilization 10 start with, and it seems
folly to him to do without them when
they can De had by the easy expedient
of voting taxes

AN uNcALLED FOR SHEER.
A contemporary remarks editoriallS
that:

A contemporary remarks editorially
that:
A few of the local candidates for
office, instead of reiterating that the
nomination came unsought' and all
that sort of thing, could win a good
deal of favor and credit for honesty II
they should come out plumply and
say they are candidates because they
want the Office.
"A few of the Democratic local
candidates" were nominated by the
convention, to their own great sur
prise and without any effort or desire
on their part to secure the nomina-
ton. They feel that if the people
want them to serve in the places for
which they are presented, they are
willing to do the best they can in
those capacities. If not they will
have no regrets at the outcome. They
are as honest, at least, as the writer
of the above paragraph, and as open
and truthful in their utterances. And
they could not come out plumply''
and say they are candidates because
they want Office" for they have no
hankerings in that direction and no
anxiety about it. We presume the
author of the sheer we have copied is
unable to comprehend such feelings,
SO we have no hope that he will be-
lieve what we have said, nor eNpecta-
ton that he Will retract his reflection
upon men who, unlike himself, have
never aspired to public station.

That it has strong points cannot b.

It would not lessen rum-selling, but
rather tend to its increase.
1t would create nucleus Of leeiti-
mate rum-selling whose influence
would be communicating.
It would make an unsettled condi-
ton Of affairs Towns would vote
license one year and no license per-
haps the next. There would always
be an active pro-rum faction.
1t would break up the settled anti
liquor policy Of the state. Some towns
would vote license; others would not.
1t would always be easy to procure
liquor. Those desiring it would 60
from no-license towns to the rum
towns and spend their money for the
liquor, as well as for other things. In
this way the no-license towns would
suffer about all the ills of the rum
towns and get no returns in a pecun-
larry way. The tendency would be
always toward license.
We have assumed that local option
would always be enforced to the exact
letter and that no rum would be sold
in towns that voted not to license If
Practically, however, this is not SO
Rum is sold in no-license towns where
local option prevails fully as much as
in towns of equal size and correspond

The argus and Patriot states an un.
truth when it says that this paper has
not hesitated to denounce the Rutland
Herald as slanderer and dissemina-
tor OF calumny in the past. Though
often disagreeing with the Herald,
we have never brought up such an ac-
cusation as this against it. We respect
the Herald on account of its numer-
GUS abilities, not the least OF which is
its redoubtable courage. Concerning
the Woodbury. case, we should rather
believe that the Herald was partly
right, did it not follow that so able
and upright citizen as Gov. Wood
bury must, in such case, be regarded
as partly wrong. Both parties are
honored in Vermont to-day and we do
not consider that either has done that
which should result in dishonor, as
will be the effect if this case comes to |
final judgment. We are aware that
some Of our contemporaries do not
agree with us, one Of which states in
plain words that it wants to see "the
un go on"

Instead of Dunraven's funk causing
cessation of challenges for the Amer
ica's cup, as was expected, it seems to
have had just the contrary effect.
Another British sport named Rose
has already challenged for next year.
He asks only such treatment as the
Cup committee considers fair. That's
the way to talk, and Mr.. Rose may be
assured that his boat will carry off the
cup-if she is the swifter craft. This
challenge must make Dunrayen rave,
so soon has his action been repudiated
by his countrymen. John Bull has
plenty Of pluck left yet. He never
knows when he is beaten, as Gen. Lee
said Of Grant, after the campaign in
the Wilderness.
