A Piece of Real News.

Senator VIM. Bulge left this morn
ing Thursday for Boise, to meet with
the State Board of Equalization in re-
gard to the valuation placed on the
Deseret Telegraph Cos property in this
county by that board. It is a matter
of great surprise that a private indi-
vidual should have to do this, when the
county commissioners are men elected
especially to look after the property in
terests of our county. 1t is we'll known
to them that a great hardship has been
worked on this particular piece of
property, and knowing this they are
the ones who should have interceded
with the State Board.
The above is from the Post, and
to almost everyone it will be read
as a piece of real news. We con
fess that we didn't know before
that the commissioners had anything
to say in the matter. Its probably
proper for them to spend the peo-
pies money in making a trip to
Boise to intercede in behalf of this
telegraph company, which is as
sessed for perhaps $500 in the coun-
ty, and which is used almost ex-
clusively for church business and
specials for Salt Lake papers,
but we doubt it. If this class of
business don't pay its not the tax
payers fault. And besides property
is not taxed according to its money
making power, for if it was there
would be other concerns in the
county exempt as well az this tele
graph line, and the Post will verify
this statement.
The day is passed in Bear LAX
when part of the property is as
sessed and the rest goes scot fire.
because Of it's ownership. If ther
are any Injuries owned here the
ought and will have to stand thei
burden of the taxes.

Rocky Bar making inquiry about
the issuance of saloon license.
Cook states he sent his money and
bond to the sheriff, asking that a
license he sent him. The sheriff
returned the papers, informing him
that the bond would have to be APP
proved by the commissioners before
license could be issued. Mr.. Cook
wants to know if this is correct.
The attorney general has replied
that the course adopted by the sher-

plates that a bond shall be given
