commended by others, but not until
took Paine's celery compound did find
any relief.
This season I took one bottle and
was not troubled with headache for at
least six months. Since that time I
have kept the medicine in the office
and used it occasionally, and have not
been troubled with headache since.
Il have recommended it to number
of my friends, who have been benefited
as I have. For a person who is dis
posed to constipation it is unquestion-
ably one of the best medicines that
there is on the market today. Yours

A black cloud is no surer indication
of an approaching storm than per-
sistent headaches are of dangerous de-
bility.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-01-25

There is TO one specific that can per-
manently cure headaches unless it goes
to the seat Of the trouble. That great
nerve and brain restorer, Paine's celery
compound, does get rid of them and
leaves no chance for their return, be-
cause the deep-seated cause.-the weak
ened nervous system at last is supplied
with the food it has so sadly felt the
need of.
The best physicians in every city in
this country prescribe Paine's celery
compound where a rapid building up
of the system is imperative. As an in
vfgorator in cases of nervous exhaus-
ton, sleeplessness and a poor state Of
the blood, it is the mainstay of the
ablest practitioners throughout the
United States.
a mere glance at the faces Of
weak. nervous. rundown persons af-
ter they have begun to use this great
est of all remedies shows how rapid is
the nourishing effect OF Paine's celery
compound.
There are thousands upon thousands
well today because they used Paine's
celery compound.

Compensation

1t viii be seen that while the tax
from 1891 decreased. the compensation
steadily increased, and where in 1890 it
cost only $1,000 to collect $262, 357 30. in
1879 SS,970 is demanded for collecting
$203, 800. As
This charge seemed SO unjust to the
territory and to the school fund that
the territorial auditor refused to allow
1t and the matter remains in allegiance
to be acted upon by the state auditor
or by the legislature
See letter of auditor of public ac-
counts and the opinion of Hon. J. w
Judd. United States district attorney,
hereto attached and marked Exhibit
A"
In this connection it may not be inn
proper to state that one reason as
signed for increasing the salary of the
collector was the fact that the legis-
lative enactment of 1894 cut down the
ices allowed collectors on tax sales
and it was therefore necessary to in
crease his salary to compensate for
said reduction. This appears like an
attempt on the part of the county
court of Salt Lake county to subvert
the will of the legislature by granting
from the public treasury what the as
sembly prohibited the collector from
extorting from unfortunate taxpayers.
1t is not claimed that the present col
lector OF Salt Lake county, who is an
efficient officer and is doing good work
for the territory in collecting it's tax.
is over-paid for the labor performed;
the contention is that the territory or
state should not be required to pay so
large a portion of his compensation,
but that it should be equitably pro
rated between the several funds.
COMPENSATION IN OTHER COUN-
TIES.
In Weber county there has also been
an increase in the compensation al
lowed for assessing and collecting the
taxes as fixed by the county court, viz:
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-01-25

ties on the books of this Office $751;
335.07. leaving a balance to be adjusted
Of 15.414.95. Should this full amount
be allowed it will reduce the balance
due from counties on 1895 tax to $751;
S043S.
No credit for compensation has been
given to Salt Lake or Weber counties
as question has arisen as to what
proportion of the compensation the ter
ritory should allow for assessing and
collecting its tax in counties in which
cities OF the first and second class are
situate.
CASE OF SALT LAKE COUNTY.
The amount of territorial and dis
trlct school tax assessed and the
compensation charged the territory for
assessing and collecting the same in
different years is as follows:

and territorial district school tax, $780,

This shows a falling off from the as
sessed valuations of the years 1888 and
1894, and a consequent red etion OF
revenues from taxation, as follows:

COURT CERTIFICATES.
The court commissioners reports
show warrants paid and outstanding
amounting to $50, 74444
On this subject the report states:
The law of 1892 requiring collectors
to receive jury and witness certificates
on territorial taxes placed no limit on
the amount to be received and the ter
ritorial treasurer had no alternative
but to accept from collectors such
amounts as they presented within the
2 mill limit.
The expense incurred for jury and
witness fees and compensation of
reporters has been a
heavy draft upon the limited revenue
of the territory. This will be more ap-
parent when it is understood that,
from the net revenue of the territory,
collected during the years 1894 and 1895,
to $455 4S7.16, exclusive of
district school fund, $150744.44 or very
nearly one-third of the whole amount

During the year 1893 the county col
lector Of Salt Lake county sold real
property belonging to delinquent tax
payers, which under the provision of
the revenue law was bid off to the pro-
bate judge of said county. That the

county officers admit that of said sum
Of IS, 754.O6 there had been collected on
redemption $5,494S0. The auditor
personally and by the United States
District Attorney Hon. J. W. Judd
has asked and demanded of the of
fcials of Salt Lake county, a settle
ment and payment Of the amount of
said redemptions, but said officers have
not only failed to make such settlement
and payment but have absolutely re-
fused to do so TO the injury and dam
age of the revenue of the territory and
of the district school fund.
Other means having failed, a suit has
been commenced and is now pending
