Tax Collector Thomas Keeps Close
Watch on Railroads.
Secretary Thomas of the state board
of equalization and ex-off1cio collector
Of taxes on transient cars, is waiting
for the opportunity to become switch
man. tax-gatherer and executiOner of
the law which has been this far held
in contempt by four car companies.
The opportunity waited for by Collector
Thomas viii come Just as soon as a car
of the Arbuckle ATiosa Dispatch line,
the American Cereal company, the Cal
.fornia Fruit Transportation company
or the Pacific Steam Whaling company
shows up at either Provo, ogden or in
this city at one of the depots.
Except the California company. which
is taxed S221.42 on ten cars, valued at
Sl0,500. the delinquents are taxed not
20 exceed S6.3S for one car each. These
are the only delinquents out of thirty
eight foreign private car companies
taxed in the state. and. In accordance
with an advisory opinion from AtJor-
ney General Breeder. Mr.. Thomas will
at the first opportunity, seize and sell
for the taxes due a car belonging TO the
dhatory companies.
Only the other day Collector Thomas
received a draft from an eastern COM
pany which has cars constantly passing
through the state. The draft came in
reply to the collectors answer to an
inquiry as to the lawful authority for
demanding the tax. In his answer the
collector cited the law. which had been
upheld by the highest court of the
land. and suggested that in case of riot
or insurrectiOn in this state the car
companies would at once call for Utah's
police protection, and the companies
should be very willing to pay for that
protection now.
Collector Thomas does not intend to
levy on any Of the street cars, because
he has no authority to do So and the
taxes of these companies are paid.

The free lance. (Fredericksburg, Va.) 1885-1926, 1901-08-31

IT WOULD be bad policy on thep part
of the Virginia Democrats to deny
that a new era has taken place in the
political history of the State for the
near future will develop the fact that
such is the case. whether admitted by
the Democrats or not: and that the
old Democratic leaders have been
shelved and new ones have come to
the front. The line was drawn at the
Norfolk Convention, the die has been
cast and the handwriting on the wall
is so plain that fool can see it and
understand its significance. In the
future the question concerning a Dem
ocratic aspirant in Virginia will not
be, "What has he ever done for the
Democratic party" but it will be, ''ls
he of us"-thenew regime; andunless
he has the password and bears the
proper insignia his name will be
"Dennis." These are not puerile pre-
dictions. Judging the future by
human nature as well as from the
political history of the past we are
justified in our representations. "To
the victor belong the spOils, and he
will surfeit upon them until another
regime Gusts him from the crib.
