Book Of Mormon Class al the College.

A large and appreciative class u.s.
tened to the lecture of Prof. MINIS on
the Book of Mormon last evening at
the I.atter-day Saints college. rms
being the first meeting of the class for
three weeks, a review of the past Few
lessons was taken. The life ana char.
acter of that noble and upright man OF
God--the Prophet Alma-formed an IN
teresting and instructive part OF the
review. The lesson of the evening, the
seth to the 4Srd chapters of the book
of Alma, was then discussed.
Special emphasis was latd
on the wholesome doctrine
contained in the advice of Alma to ms
sons, Helaman, shiblon and Corianton,
as evidence of the elevating tendency
of the Book of Mormon. This admon-
ition of Alma contains the philosophy
of the resurrection, paradise, and the
consequence of sin, In such simplicity
and painness that he who runs may
read. Surprising everything now
contained In the Bible on thses sub
jects, both in depth and clearness, 1t
harmonizes most perfectly in every
expression with the Jewish record; no
uninspired muan could have written 1t.
The lecturer called attention to the
fact that no character taken from
sacred book ought to be made the
basis of work of fiction, as has been
of Hagoth," The characters and ten
denotes of that story We're discussed in
a teachable spirit. Not only does the
story weave into narrative topics of
Book of Mormon interest. but makes Its
two leading characters vicious. A
wrong impression of the source of the
story might thus be created: and mas
much as some altogether fictitious
characters are introduced into the
story, those unacquainted with the
Book of Mormon may be led to consld-
er them real. When history and
fiction are thus closely associated. 1t
becomes difficult to determine fact from
fable The speaker deprecated AGAINST
making the characters Of a second
record the source of such a work, and
hoped that no such effort would be re-
peated. The lecturer, however, said
nothing that could be construed as
dsparaging to the author or the pub
Usher of the work, as the authorship
and publication no doubt originated
in worthy motives; but he thought,
nevertheless, that such literary efforts
should be discouraged by those who
love and revere sacred writings.
The class meets again on Monday.

THE NEW SCHOOL BOARD.


The new board of education VIII be
indicted into office on Thursday even

control of the public schools Of this
city. Among the important questions
to receive consideration is the election
Of president According to legal adj
vice given today It appears that Mr.
Dooly's successor must come from the
three year members. This construction
of law II found to be correct Will dis,
qualify Messrs, Baldwin, Young ana
Cotton, all Of whom are one-year mem
berg The law on the subject says
that the board shall "organiae by elect
ing from their number. president ana
vice president, whose term of office snail
be for two years and until their sue
cessors are elected and qualified"
The opinion OF attorneys Is to the
effect that the board cannot elevate
one Of It's members to an office for two
years when the people have chosen
him TO place OF trust but for one
year. In view Of this construction b.
w. Wilson, ihree-year member IRON

SPECIAL SCHOOL TAX.


Attorney General Bishop has trans
mitted an opinion to j. Wesley Warf.
county attorney for Carbon county, on
the following questlons: Can u coun-
" treasurer collect a special school
tax ON real property and improve
ments situated in the school district
and on personal property situated
therein but fifteen miles from the school
house. Also upon horses and cattle
which range INTERCHANGEABLE in two
counties. and in neither of which the
debtor or owner lives?
Mr.. Bishop holds that all property
in the district, without respect to
distance from school house. is subject
to assessment, and that transitory
herds Of cattle. horses or sheep. may be
asaessed Ia either county. 1t Is FUR
Their held that the school district levy
ing the special school tax must have
the exclusive benefit thereof. The
opinion in full is as follows:
| would Gull your attention to see
ton Is Of the Reyenue Act, providing
that all of the taxable property must
be assessed in the county, city or dis
trict in which 1t is situated"
Also to section % of the same
as soon as he receives a statement of
any taxable property situated in
another county. must make q copy of
such statement for each county in
which the same is situated, and trans
nit the same, by mail. to the assessor
of the proper county, who must assess
the same as other taxable property
therein"
1t would seem from these sections
that the Legislature intended that the
situs for all property for assessment
should be determined by its situation
at noon on the first Monday In March.
as provided in section IA of the revenue
act. AS concerns the real property
in your inquiry, there can be no ques-
ton but that 1t is assessable in the
place whJ'e 1t is situated. with refer
ence to the taxation of the personal
property referred to, l am of opinion
that the provisions of the revenue act
supra are conclusive upon this point;
that is. any personal property found
by the assessor in the county, city or
district Is subject to assessment and
taxation. and therein for all purposes,
and as respects the distance from the
school house of the property SO as
sessed, that would make no difference,
provided the property was situated
within the county, city or district levy
ing the tax. As to the tax on cattle
and horses ranging INTERCHANGEABLE
within two counties and in neither of
which the owner lives, permit me to
say, that the school tax upon the same
in my opinion would he collected in
the same manner as Is provided for
the collection of other taxes thereon,
as pointed out in section "a of the reve-
nue. act,
Under this provision it Will be
noticed that the tax on such stock
must be paid In the county where first
assessed. and that no provision is made
for renting any portion of the tax SO
collected to the other county interest
ed, except one half of the county tax.
clearly indicating that the district in
which the assessment was made shall
have the benefit of any special school
tax that may have been levied by

Mr.. DALE'S DISCLAIMER.
He Denies All Ambition 10 Become a Political
Boss.

To the Editor:
During the late municipal campaign
your paper treated my candidacy in
n fair and honest way, and without
descending to personalities, fact
which appreciated at that time. Since
the result of the election was declared,

your hands until the editorial in the
issue of last evening. in which. 1t is
true, you mention no names, but the
inference is so plain that the person

II be possible that some man, or men,
in this city or State, and | hope that
no such man may ever be found, might
aspire to or attain such n place In our
party councils, the position would be
repugnant to all my tastes and inclin-
atoms, and stlll farther, beyond my
abilities.
As to the Democratic, or indeed all
other, members of the new Council,
do not believe they are in need of
| either guidance or guardianship from

members of that Council will bear me
