MORTGAGE EXEMPTIONS LAW.
Judge Decides 1t Invalid Exemptions il
Two Years.

Judge Decides 1t Invalid Exemptions i'm
Two Years.
Indianapolis News: "By a decision
announced this week, Judge Allen, of
the circuit court, held invalid the act
passed by the Legislature two years ago,
known as the mortgage exemption
law
"The case was one filed by Margaret
and Benjamin Smith, husband and
wife, to compel Auditor Smith to &C.
cept joint affidavit for exemption,
when their property was held jointly.
Hawkins and Smith, the auditors
attorneys, argued that the law con llcts
with the provisions of the state censti-
tuition, because in the constitution
there is express provision that no prop
erty other than that used for scientific,
religious, educational, municipal, or
charitable purposes, shall be exempted
from paying taxes; also that its bene-
fits could not be equally enjoyed by all
property owners.
"This year exemption atlidsvits ag-
gregatiDg S4,oO0,0O0 were filed with the
county auditor. Last year the total
was 100000. Both these amounts
were deducted from the taxes. This
money cannot be recovered by the tax
officers"

YOUNG COUPLE SURPRISE FRIENDS
Carl Kloepfer and Gertrude Thomson A n
nOunce Their Marriage Which Oc-
Cured Four Months Ago.

nOunce Their Marriage Which Oc-
Cured Four Months Ago.
The friends of Carl Kloepfer, son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Rudolph kloepfer, and
Miss Gertrude Thomson, daughter OF
Mrs. Julia Thomson, were fairly as
founded when they learned Saturday
evening that these popular young peo-
pie bad yielded to the arguments of
cupid and accepted the matrimonial
pledge over four months ago. The
knot was tied by Rev. ID H. Hind,
of Windsor, Canada, on February 4,
1901, at the parsonage in that city.
rhe young couple have been known
to be exceptionally devoted to each
other for couple years and all ex-
pected that sooner or later they would
join their fortunes, but no one dreamed
that their relations during the past four
months were other than suitor and
sweetheart.
1t seems that the parents of both
were opposed to their marriage at this
time. There was no objection to their
marriage by the parents other than that
they preferred pOstpOnement for an
other year. On this account the
young couple decided to keep their
secret and gradually feel their way be-
fore apprising the old folks. If the
parents were too harsh they had re.
solved to laugh the matter off as joke
and leave the impression upon their
minds that no marriage had occurred.
During April, however, the secret
leaked out and their parents were ap
prised of all the facts, but they helped
them guard their secret until Saturday
evening. Csrl and Gertrude had
planned to go to Chicago to visit Mrs.
KlOepfer, who has been there for some
time, and relatives here concluded TO
give them a surprise. They quietly
notified their young friends of the Bon
Ton club and the Peaceful Six of their
marriage and when the Sunday morn
ing train pulled into Plymouth Carl
and Gertrude realized that their secret
was no longer q secret A number of
the friends of the bride and groom
were at the station and they took esre-
cisl pains to apprise the passengers
that there was q married couple on
board.
Carl has another year before grsdu
ating from Ann Arbor university and
it is understood that he will continue
his work there until he gets his di
plOma.
Both of these young folks are highly
regarded in Plymouth. Carl is q de-
serving young man, sufficiently ambi-
tious to win in whatever he undertakes.
Gertrude is a winsome girl, whose
sweet disposition is her charm. The
Independent congrstulstes them and
bespeaks for them long and happy
welded career.

Frank Jacox Says That They Secured His
| Name by Misrepresenting Facts.
Those men who are endeavoring to
kill the paving plans are misrep-
resenting facts III order to accomplish
his purpose, if what some of the BUSH
ness men say Is true. Frank Jscox
.! vas induced 10 sign the remonstrsnce
but has since learned that the actual
| facts were befOgged to him. He says
that be will lose no ime in getting his
name off of the paptr. Others as they
become acquainted with the spirit back
of the demonstrators express themselves
accordingly.
Those circulating the petition try to
prejudice the property owners against
certain aldermen, who they say are
acting from selfish motives, in order to
get them TO demonstrate. The Inde-
pendent will simply state that the
aldermen are acting in perfect good
faith and there is no possible excuse Cor
the charges made by those circulating
the remOnstrsnce petition. 1t is no
objection, because the proposed paving
does not go on all the streets Ut one
time. That does not concern the
particular property that will be i'm
proved in those parts where paving is
constructed. Everything can not be
done at once. Let the Improvement
start as planned by the council and it
will rapidly spread to other parts of the
city.
Dismiss all these little petty, selfish
ideas and take an interest in the public
welfare. There will be ample returns
to the individual property owners in
time.
Most of the men who are remons-
trating against the paving of North
Michigan street are ten times better
able to stand the expense than the
publisher of this paper who will be
taxed for the improvement. Why
they take the position they do is a
mystery to ell our people who feel that
every citizen should be public spirited
citizen.

Strongly Opposed a Former Lease on
Mineral Lands


There are number Of men in Utah
who are at a loss to understand Agent
Myton's strong desire to get the lease
deal through in the light Of his siren
nous opposition to another leasing
proposition not many years ago 1t IS
even limited that certain interests who
worked strenuOusly for Major Myton's
appointment were Influenced by a de-
sire to head off this other leasing prop
osi1on aud get the privileges for them
selves
Caleb Rhodes, jr., and Mr.. Hathen-
bruck of Provo were prime movers in
securing the original agreement with
the Indians for a lease on mineral
lands and Bishop H. B. Clawson Of
salt Lake has been Interested. Caleb
Rhodes the elder long was celebrated
as the man who possessed the secret
OF the location of a wonderful gold
mine somewhere on the reservation. He
used 10 slip out from KamaS from time
TO time and return laden with gold
dust. Every effort was made to dis
cover the whereabouts Of the rich de-
post from which the gold was OBJ
tanned, but Mr.. Rhodes preserved his
secret we'll
After his death his son. Caleb
Mr.. Hathenbruck and searched for the
mine. 1t was given out that the rich
deposits had been found and efforts
were made to secure a lease from the
Indians on the tract of land containing
the mineral. Several persons in Utah
and elsewhere were taken in on the
deal, and negotiations We're success
fully carried on with the Indians.
Meanwhile the news Of what was go
ing on reached certain persons, said to
include at least one man who is trying
to put through the present leasing
scheme. They Immediately became ac-
tive in Washington and Major MytOn
of Kamas was appointed Indian agent
in place Of Captain Beck.
During this time the pOw-wOws with
the Indians were going on. Major Ny
ton hurried out to take charge at the
agency, but he arrived about twenty
fOu hours too late to prevent the sign
ing Of the treaty by which the Indians
agreed to lease a tract of mineral land.
He was not too late, however, to use
every influence to prevent the ratifca-
ton of the treaty by the interior de-
partment. The men who sought to
visit the tract they We're trying to
lease were followed in the hope of
gaining information about just what
it contained. It is even said that mail
was opened passing between different
persons interested. The people trying
to get the lease were harassed at ev-
cry turn.
The treaty was sent to the interior
department for ratification, but it has
been hung up there. The department
gave as its reason that it wished to
have congress pass on the matter. Con-
gress has never taken any action and
it is understood that the entire deal is
still pending. or rather, pigeOn-hOled.
Meanwhile small interests in the rights
existing under the treaty have been
sold or otherwise disposed Of
Bishop ClaWsOn was asked about the
deal yesterday. but he refused to dis
Cuss it.
