TO PREVENT TAX DoDeINe.

IT HE HERALD desires to give its
hearty endorsement to the bill in
troduced in the house on Wednesday
by Representative Anderson of Nor
gan county. The measure has, first,
the merit of brevity, and. second, it
touches a question of vital interest to
all the people. the question of taxation.
It's sole and only provision is that no
evidence shall be allowed in court to
recover for property that is not as
sessed for general taxes under the laws
of this state"
The purpose Of the proposed law is,
of course, to prevent tax lodging. In
effect it says that no property is to be
recognized as property unless it bears
its proportion of the tax burden In
other words, il a man owns property
which is not listed for taxes and sells
1t on credit to another individual he
cannot maintain an action at law
against that individual in the event
that the latter fails or refuses to pay
The bill is just and right. If it makes
some of the Utah tax dodgers sit Up
and revise their schedules, it will &C
complish a happy solution of a grave
problem. He is dull, indeed, who does
not know that the burden of taxation
in this state is not equally divided.
Some of our rich men and corporations
deliberately fail to list much of their
property when the assessor comes
around. They do not seem to think
they are thereby guilty of an act of
petty dishonesty; yet they are.
For the sake of saving little money
they cheat the county and state and
city when they would not for a moment
think Of cheating a fellow citizen. But
do they save money? The Herald
doubts it. Light valuations make
heavy tax rates. There is no way of
avoiding this rule. A certain amount
of money is required to meet the ex-
penses Of the state, county and muni-
cipal governments. That amount must
be raised. and If the valuations are low
the rate must be high.
There is another side to the question,
the poor mans side. The man who
owns nothing in the world but a little
home and a small amount of furniture
cannot evade a fair assessment. All he
has is under the eye Of the tax gather
er and he is made to bear, not only hi:
own burden. but a part of the burder
that should be placed on shoulder:
much more able to bear 1t. This il
wrong. cruelty wrong, and the Ander
son bill promises a remedy.
We do not believe rich men generally
would object to a fair assessment i
they knew all were to be treated alike
The fault is not so much theirs as o
the svStaun that has hepn buiIdeg
through many years, but is is none tn
less dishonest. We trust Mr.. Ander
sons bill will pass
