open by the use of such portion of the

properly remedied. That we think

REPUBLICAN, fxooMrETENcY.

The report of the Secretary Of the
Reform School to Governor West pre-
sents very humiliating state of af-
fairs. Not in reference TO the institu-
ton itself or it's management, but 10
the state of its finances. Notwithstand-
| ing the criticisms which have been
passed upon the establishment for
political effect, Investigations into its
conduct have demonstrated that it has
been carried on with care, good dis
cipline and strict economy.
The Secretary states that the funds
appropriated at the last session IF the
legislature are now about exhausted
and unless the Board of Trustees may
legally contract a loan of about $4,000
the institution will have TO be closed.
This would be a great misfortune.
Not only would the inmates have to
be turned loose or be otherwise dis
posed of as the courts might direct,
but with the disuse of the property,
which is very valuable, the ample
grounds and fine buildings upon them
would revert to the City of Ogden.
This would be a great pecuniary and
moral loss to the Territory of Utah.
opinion as to whether the Board of
Trustees have power to contract loan
for the purpose of continuing the es-
tablishment.
1t will be remembered that in order
to make provision by which money
could be devoted out of the public
treasury for private uses in the shape
of bounties. the public Institutions of
the territory, educational and reform
atory, were deprived to a great extent
of the money usually appropriated for
their sustenance. So anxious were the
Republicans to carry out their unjust
and partial policy, that they even pro
posed to cut down the school tax and
thus cripple all the public schools of
the territory They did not succeed in
giving away public money for
private uses, nor in cutting down the
school fund. That was due TO the in
terposition of a Democratic Governor.
The Republicans did succeed, how
ever, in cutting down appropriations

sane Asylum. They thought far more
of canaigre roots and beets and worms
than they did of education and re-
form. Instead of $4,000 which was ap-
propriated at the previous session of
the legislature, the Republican assem-
bly, only appropriated about $1,000 for
the support of the Reform School. The
consequence is, the institution is with
out funds and stands as a monument
Of the folly and imbecility of the Only
Republican legislature Utah has been
afflicted with.
We do not know what Governor
West will suggest to the trustees IN
der the circumstances in which they
find themselves. But it is to be hoped
that if they cannot legally contract a

bound to liquidate. SEINE aid will come

was financially crippled by the same
Republican idiocy.
What with the exhibitions of incom-
potency displayed by the Republicans
in the last legislature and those in the
Constitutional Convention, we should
think the people of Utah would have
their eyes open wide enough TO see
the folly of placing such party in
power in the new state.

INDEPENDENCE DAY.

This is the greatest holiday of the
nation and, politically speaking, of the
whole world. The independence of the
United States, declared a hundred and
nineteen years ago, was an achieve
ment which is not only of vast i'm
portance to US and our posterity. but
to all people who now dwell and will
be born upon the face of the globe.
Liberty. equality and fraternity were
proclaimed when the colonies were
declared free from the dominance of
Great Britain, and those principles
are for the whole human race. The
popular government established on
this choice land, having endured for
more than a century and demonstrated
its fitness to survive the perils that
come to all forms of human govern
ment, is an object lesson to the peo-
pies Of the world who yet linger in
monarchial bondage. 1t shows them
what can be achieved and what are
the glorious effects of freedom.
On such day as this, it would seem,
the people of the United States would
appreciate the fact that we can be
independent of Great Britain, not only
in political but in a financial sense.
Why should we be dependent upon
the English for a monetary system
any more than we are for a political
system? Why should we endure any
kind of bondage to the old world
since we have achieved national in.
dependence and enjoy national liberty?
When England demonetized silver
the United States retained bimetallism
and our silver went to a premium.
We We're able to maintain that indie
pendence for more than half a CEN
fury, and yielded to the bondage of
gold-British gold, voluntarily, almost
unwittingly. 1t is time that the United
States made another declaration of in
dependence.
Today, though there will be no or
ganized celebration in this city, with
professions and banners and speeches
and public feasts, after the orthodox
fashion, there will be general rejoic-
ings, plenty of gun-firing, crackers,
noise and hiIarity. We would not curb
the spirit of the juvenile peace-disturb-
ers nor quench the fires of patriotic
ardor, one jot or little, although our
love of country and our appreciation
of its liberties can be exhibited with
out tumult or the burning of powder.
Let each one celebrate in his own
fashion and freedom be enjoyed by
young and old.
1t should not be forgotten, however,
that American freedom is the liberty
of law. That the rights of others should
be as dear to US as our own. That or
der is essential to the general welfare.
And that temperance is a virtue which
should govern in all things.
The Herald's flag is waving in the
free air of the mountains; 1t is the
flag of our country. 1t is precious to
the sons and daughters of Utah And
before another Independence Day shall
dawn, there will be another star upon
that gallant flag. It will be the star
of Utah, added to the national galaxy,
increasing the glory and strengthen
ing the power of the United States
the grandest republic ever seen on the
face of the earth. All hail to indie
pendence Day!

THE SCHOOL LAW BLUNDER.

The decision of Judge Smith in the
Fourth District court already report
ed in The Herald. that the tax pro-
vision in the school law, so far as it
relates to the collection of taxes in
cities of the first and second class is
void, will make a pretty "how-dye-
do" 1t was an unfortunate question
to spring at the present time. Hav-
ing been brought to the attention of
the court-quite unnecessarily though
in a case which had other bearings
entirely, there was nothing left for
the Judge to do consistently but to
rule upon it.
The legislature of 1892. in passing
the school law, provided that the city
assessor and collector should collect
the school tax within the city dis
tricts But during the same session
the office of city assessor and col
lector was abolished, and the duties
of it devolved upon the county as
SCISSOR and the county collector so far
as the regular city taxes We're con-
cerned. It was understood that the
county collectors would collect all the
regular taxes, territorial, county,
city and school, and this was done
without dispute.
But though the law provides, in
terms, for the collection of county
and district school taxes by the coun-
ty collector, it does not specify the
city school taxes but imposes that
duty upon the city collector whose
Office was abolished. 1t was thought,
no doubt, that the language of the
law requiring the county collector to
collect taxes was broad enough TO
cover every needful purpose. but it
was not if Judge Smiths decision
holds good.
The worst part of the business is
that the legislature of 1894 perpetrated
a similar blunder, and repeated the
provision of 1892 in reference to the
city collector. It is easy to under
stand how the mistake occurred in
90. But it is astonishing that the
wise men of "a should deliberately re-
quire school taxes to be collected by
an officer who had no existence and
whose office had been abolished two
years before
But thus it is. Now what is to be
done? Of course the taxpayers might
voluntarily pay their city school taxes
to the county collector, who might
voluntarily receive them and pay
them over to the Board of Education.
But that is risky and outside of the
law and while some might pay others
would not.
1t is suggested that the Governor
will have to call a special session of
the legislature to repair the error.
That would be an expense and diff
cult proceeding, for a comparatively
small consideration. 1t will be seen
that the trouble affects only cities of
the first and second class. If Salt
Lake and Ogden can make some ar
rangements to get along until the
first state legislature can meet next
winter, the trouble will be easily over
come.
OF course the case can be carried to
the Suprtlns Cnrt of the territory
which, by a very broad construction,
might decide that the laws taken to-
gether mean that all the duties de-
on the city assessors and col
lectors are transferred to the county
officers which was doubtless the in
tention of the legislature. IT is not
by any means certain though that
Judge Smiths ruling would -. be
affirmed.
The blunder is serious and remark
