In the mandamus proceedings inst-
tuted by GOV Wells againt the present
state auditor involving the payment Of
increased salary to various state oih-
eialr' provided by enactment OF the
Legislature OF 1901, the supreme court
helu az follows 1t is clear from the

that during the same term at which 1t
was enacted the Legislature apprO-

BEFORE the passage Of said act been
elected and We're then serving the term
Tor which they had been chosen, TINT
the Legislature intended the act TO ap-
ply to and increase the salary OF the Of

preparations is, by implication, a legis-
mtiye construction OF the act and the
ieetlon Of the Constitution under con-

ASSESSED VALUATION.

After a careful examination OF the as

WINGED that the assessed value Is In the
great majority OF cases not more than
80 per cent OF the market value. As

or 10 draw conclusions, but to arrive al

clases Losd 5dayos Samuel Of London - Foreign
Office Gould DO TCofbmg When c4gpealed To.

London, June 29.--Lord Mayor Samuel
IN a speech yesterday at the prize dis
trlbution OF the religion classes at one
OF London's synagogues, said 1t was
quite useless to bring agitation to bear
In the hope Of influencing Russia in re-
gard 10 the treatment OF the Jews.
Their brethren in Australia, animated
by the most generous feelings, had sent
money and had passed resolution
which II became his duty to submit
10 the foreign office. In following their
wishes he was aware what the result
would be- Therefore he was not sur
pflsed when assured that this was an
internal matter, and that the foreign
office could do nothing. The Jews OF
ills country, the lord mayor continued
desired for their brethren In Russia re-
ligioas equality and he believed he was
risht In saying the czar Was most
anxious that the bond should be eX-
tended TO his Hebrew subjects. But
there were other difficulties to over
COME. The case was different from that
OF Roumania, where treaty rights were
violated Russia was under no treaty
obligations and was free to manage her
internal affairs as she thought best.
II was only by appealing to the better
side Of the Russian nation--and there
was a very large better side--that they
could hope to awaken that sense of
right which, he was convinced, no
amount OF agitation could bring about.
The lord mayor concluded with ask
Ing the Jewish community TO believe he
had the interest OF their prosecuted
brethren at heart and not to mlscon-
strue his seeming inactivity.
In this connection 1t has transpired
that shortly after the Klshineff out
break the Russian embassy conveyed
personal assurance to the lord mayor
that II he would discountenance anti
Russian agitation IN London he could
depend not only that there would be no
repetition Of such attacks on the Jews,
but that measures would be taken 10
generally Improve their position in
Russia.

UNDER VALUATION.

This investigation leads me to the
conclusion that all realty. both in the
business and residence districts, is un-
der-valued for taxation The assessed
value Of all realty In Salt Lake City for
the year 1900 was only asa per cent OF
the market value as estimated by the
census report OF that year. One error
in listing realty for taxation Is in bass
ing valuation from year TO year on
prior valuations, without taking into
consideration the advance in market
value In the last FIVE years. The fol.
lowing table shows the total valuation
Of all realty and personally In the city
for the past years:

be ascertalned, every property referred
to above carries insurance on the build.
ing In amount equal to more than twice
the assessed valuation. Some OF them
are insured for more than three times
their assessed valuation. The buildings
alone which have been referred TO
above, by way of Illustration are yalu-
ed tor tax purposes at S63S 500 The
owners say when they insure them that
they are worth at least twice that
amount, or Sl,27I0O0. Their doomed
value then would be at least $685., 900.
on these properties alone then there Is
q loss FOR taxation purposes Of 1855. 400
Many OF these buildings return to their
owners annually In rentals more than
twenty-five per cent Of their assessed

tract price Of which ranges from TWEEN
