Tc ,hc Editor:
In your weekly issus Of Jan. BAD
noticed an article under the heading
OF "Protes.antlsm Declining" which
struck me very forcibly, coming as Il
does about the same time that c similar
series OF artloes appeared in a local
daily paper here. A writer to the
Bath Argu,, fsst asked the question,
"Ia Local Nonooniofmty Dying or
Declining?" The writer then goes on
to show by facts and figures, that
the membership OF the various non.
cOnformIst churches are considerably
less than they used to be. His article
brought out quite a correspondence
anu discussion Of the subject for about
four weeks by ministers and prJmi-
nent members OF the various churches,
anu nearly every one admitted the
decline and 1t was amusing TO read
their reasons for 1t. Only short tune
ago whilst Visiting a friend Of mine, a
minister Of the Church OF England
called, and wasintiotuced as frlenu
from AmsIics. Upon learning l wss
from the State OF Utah he Appeared
very interested and asked many ques.

NO INCOME TAX.
This House Kills the Bill 10 Tax
Incomes and InherIlalCeS.
A QUESTION OF ETIQUETTE.
A Bill 10 Allow School Ills ricls to
Fund Ind bitdncss Will
Likely Pass.

Yesterday afternoon the House
killed Kenner's bill providing for the
lBxiug OF Incomes and inheritaucee.
The strength and pronounced charac'
ter OF the opposition to the measure
created sumo surprise. The bill pro-
vlded for an income tax as foiowf; Od
$4,000 TO $1,000, 9 PER cent; $4,000 to
$4,000, 3 per cent; $4,000 or more,
per ceat. The inheritance tax was
fixed by the bill as follows: On 1000
10 $1,000, Q per cent; $4,000 to 5000,
per cent; S., 900 or more, per cent.
Kunner, author OF the bill, made q
strong argument in Its favor, showing
that 1t was pursuant to the Democratic
platform and consistent with the
Constitution OF the State, and in
haImony with justice. Shepard,
Sloan aud others argued against tho
bill, their strongest objections being
against the provisions to tax
inberi.ances. Several members char
scterizeu 1t ta n bill to punish widows
apd orphans, while others thought II
right aud Just to tax btquestf. Ga tao
final vote the bill was 1881 by strong
majority.
On the ground that tho visit to this
city OF the IuahO Legislature was got
official, the Senate decided that II
would DO no breach OF etiquette for
the Utah Lssisla ure 10 carry out lie
previously adopted program and Visit
Iogan today. In the House the
roiut was made clear that tho ldaho
visitors hau been duly notiheu thnt
tine Titan lawmaEeGs would Visit
Logan today, ami would be glau u
receive their frlenoR from the nortn
next MONDAY. A telegram was
received accepting the Invitation

good ground for any charge OF ois-
courtesy on the part u the UIah solole.
BeeideP, western men mahs up In

law making bodies get together.
The Senate discussed somewhat
fully yesterday afternoon the subject
OF iunuing the floating indebIed cess OF

judiciary cammitteo With Instructions
10 prepare another that would better
