CLASH OF AUTHORITIES.

Mr.. Eldredge. who read and ap-
proved the silver plank of the St Louis
platform, claims that the Republican
party is a silver party.
Every time he holds meeting he
reads from the st. Louis platform to
prove his claim; and he argues from
that declaration of party principles
that the great organization, at the
head of which is Chairman Hanna, is
pledged to the free coinage of silver.
Stenographic reports OF his speeches
in the north and south show that the
Republican candidate for congress is
placing particular emphasis on this ex-
ceedingly original point.
In order to determine the validity Of
his claim it will be necessary, first, to
ascertain which is the better authority
on Republican doctrine-Alma Eldredge
or Mark Hanna.
Mr.. Hanna, according to western Re-
publicans, was absolute master of the
ST. Louis convention. He shaped the
platform and dictated the ticket. He
ought to know what the platform
means, and he ought to know where
his man Mckinley stands, and he
ought to understand the financial pol
icy OF party over whose national or
ganization he presides.
In his celebrated epistle to Glen Mil
Ter, dated Aug. 3, 1898, Chairman Han
ma said of the endorsement of the
free coinage of silver:
1T would be clearly in opposition to
the principles of the party, as declared
in the platform at the national conven-
ton at st. Louis"
Either Mr.. Eldredge or Mr.. Hanna is
mistaken about Mr. Hanna's financial
plank

THE SCHOOL TAX AMENDMENT
Salt Lake City. Oct. q. 1898.

Salt Lake City. Oct. 27, 1898.
To the Editor of The Herald:
On the Sth day of November, 1898, the
people of Utah are to vote upon number
of amendments TO the state constitution.
and as one of the proposed amendments
deeply concerns the public schools, 1
desire to present a few reasons why that
amendment should be voted for by the
people.
Section 6, article X, of the state con-
stitution reads as follows:
In cities of the first and second class
the public school system shall be main
tanned and controlled by the board of
education of such cities separate and
apart from the counties in which said
cities are located
The amendment is to strike out the
words maintained and" before the word
controlled"
In order that the people may not be de-
ceived BY the editorial that appeared in
the Deseret Evening News of Friday,
Oct II. much of which is misleading and
untrue, and that they may vote intelli-
gently in relation to the proposed amend
ment, it would be well to state what is
the effect of the section as it now reads
and the true purpose of the amendment.
Prior to statehood in Utah. revenue
was raised with which to maintain the
free public schools in three ways. namely:
BY state school tax, by a county school
tax. and by a local or district school tax.
These three 1evies were made upon all
the taxable property in the state for the
benefit of the schools. The burden rested
alike upon all and all enjoyed equal bene-
fits But with the adoption of the state
constitution, all cities of the first and
the second classes were exempted from
paying the county school tax. Thus leav-
ing such wealth centers but two burdens
to bear, namely: The state and the dis
trict (or city, school tax, while all other
parts of the state must bear three burdens
Of taxation for schools. namely: The
state, the county and the district school
tax.
This terrible inequality, this death deaf
ing blow to the schools outside of Salt
Lake and Ogden was dealt by section 6.
article X. of the state constitution Ii
forced the people living in Salt Lake
county outside of Salt Lake City not only
to pay the extra tax but to increase the
rate from two to four mills and also to
increase the district levies about 100 per
cent or to close their schools.
Compare the following levies for 1898
between our county districts and tho Salt
Lake City district, and you will see why
the city newspapers love the constitution
and do not want it amended:
SCHOOL TAX LEvIES FOR 1898.

THE LEGISLATIVE RECORD.


The national policy of the Democratic
party in relation to the monetary ques-
ton, the record of the last legislature
and the business administration of
county affairs, all recommend the Dem
ocratic ticket TO the confidence and
support OF the public.
When the legislature, composed al
most entirely OF Democrats, met in Jan
uary 1897, it found the state institu-
tons suffering for the want of funds
and struggling along with deficit of
sl17, 200.
The former legislature had failed,
through fear or neglect, to make the
necessary appropriations. But the
Democrats took the matter up, allowed
enough to clear up the deficit and
enough besides to run the Institutions
for two and half fiscal years.
The Democratic legislature made an
appropriation of $4,000 for the purpose
of building highways in the state. 1t
appropriated $4,000 for a state miners
hospital at Park City; $4,000 for the
great pioneer jubilee. that brought
for the purpose of advertising the re-
sources of Utah at the Omaha exposi-
ton: $4,000 for similar purposes at the
Nashville exposition. 1t provided for
the establishment of a normal school
and Increased the efficiency of the state
land board, created state board Of
health, increased the allowance for the
industrial school, and created the office
of state engineer, in the interest of
agriculture and irrigation.
All this the Democratic legislature
did, and still it appropriated less per
annum than was appropriated by the
preceding Republican legislature.
In the matter of running expenses
alone the Democrats showed economy
in practice, something Republican Off
Gals confine to theory. Although the
Democratic legislature considered, re-
vised and passed the entire code, it fin
ished its labors in so days at a cost of
$415 per day, as against the Repub-
lican session of so days at $425 per day.
No wonder the Republican governor
congratulated the last legislature on
the splendid performance of its duties.

SCHOOL TAX
NAME OF DIST.

With an average rate of nearly double
what is levied in Salt Lake City, our
country districts can barely pay their
teachers for from seven to nine months.
while the city can raintain magnificent
school system Including free High
school for nine months, meet over SiO,OVo
in interest and furnish all books and other
supplies free to all pupils.
Never has there been raised but one OBJ
lection to the amendment, and that is
that the cities would be taxed without
representation. in as much as the people
who reside in cities of the first and sec
ond class cannot vote for the county
superintendent of schools.
This objection, however. is ground
less, because the county superintendent
has nothing to do with levying the county
school tax or any other tax. The t:ate is
fixed and the levy is made by the board of
county commissioners. Do the city peo-
pie vote for these officers? Yes And
further. two of these commissioners now
live in Salt Lake City. Yet they not only
levy taxes upon the country part of the
county, but have the power TO direct how
much of the money so raised shall be
expended for the expenses of the county
superintendent Office. Where does the
taxation without representation come in?
This great injustice to rural schools was
recognized by the state legislature and
the amendment proposed to section 6.
article Y. was passed almost unanimously
by both branches thereof.
BY voting to amend the section referred
TO, we simply make it possible for the leg
islature TO regulate equitably the tax
burdens of the people.
The people of Utah cannot afford to let
this opportunity to right wrong pass.
The welfare of the free public schools
demands that section 6. article Y. OF the
constitution of the state of Utah, be
amended. Yours respectfully.

A Gifted Singer Engaged for the
Big Opera.

At noon last Saturday. it became generally
whispered that Mss Gertrude Linehan was
to sing In the title role Of the coming opera.
Inquiry by reporter of The Item among the
ladies Of the Episcopal Church discovered this
rumor to be definite fact.
All the big choruses bad been formed, and
under tie guidance of Prof. Ramoo, had
been in active rehearsal for nearly month.
But when it became necessary to End a
singer to take the leading soprano part, then,
what seemed insarersble difficulties arose.
Said one Of the ladies interviewed "The
singer for this part you know, had to COM
bine youth, besuty, true soprano voice,
long and critical musical cultivation, and
withsl fair modicum of histriouic power.
OF course Miss Linehan's name at once came
10 all of our minds, but it was feared 'ha,
permission for her to sing would be refused
by st. Joseph's Academy, where Miss Line.
han is at present pursuing her musical stu
dies. Efforts were made to secure a lady frs,
from Wilmington and then from Charleston
and both eforts failed. Then il was, that [,

We each took courage from the other and

by storm.

community by allowing her gifted pupil to

her voice has already attracted marked at
teption, and uoder the careful tuition of that
excellent institution, that now shelters her,
it is safe to say that every poteutiality for
the improvement of natures gifts will be con.
stantly envoked.
In an effort to obtain accurate information
from q strictly ''nusiear" standpoint, the
reporter then called upon that greatest singer
that Sumter has ever produced. Said Mrs.
Teicher ssBave ever heard Miss Linehan :?
Why yea, hundreds of times, and l regard
her voice az one unquestionsbly containing
the promise of future greatness. As yet she
is nothing but child, bat already she easily
euthralls her listeners. Ab. you ask me to
be more technically specific? Well, her voice
is pure soprano (pure sopranos are very
rare, sir, and is cast in q high and classic
mould. Her voice is especially noted for it's

more important than all else is what is
