social entertainment as planned by the
committee is going to be a strong fea-
ture. The enthusiasm of the members

RAILROAD TAXES
MUCH TOO LOW
Reason Assigned by State Sena.
tors For New EquaIizers.
ARE WORKING FOR A CHANGE
TERMS OF TWO MEMBERS Ex-
CARBOHYDRATES IN FIELD.

change in the personnel of the
state board of equalization is being ad-
vocated by several members of the
state senate and some influential Re-
publican politicians. The ostensible
motive for the suggestion is the need
for larger railroad and capital stock
assessments. The present members of
the board have been letting the roads
and the big corporations down too
easy. it is whispered, and men should
be appointed who would increase the
revenues of the state.
Governor Wells has the appointing of
the members. but his appointments
must be confirmed by the state senate.
Two years ago he made an appoint
ment which the senate did not like, so
it turned the executive down. Then.
as now. the motive of the senators was
a desire, they declare, of boosting the
states revenues.
So that the wrangle Of two years ago
may not be repeated, the senators are
said to be starting suggestions in the
governors direction as to appoint
ments. Those who are particularly ac-
tive in this agitation disclaim any in
tention of aggressiveness, as they say
it would be improper for them to at
ments, but through one channel or an
other the senatorial suggestions are
being carried to the executive ear.
Two Terms Expire.
Two memberships in the board expire
this year, those of Robert c. Bund of
Washington county and John J. Thorn
as of Salt Lake county. Mr.. Lund is a
Democrat.
Senator H. S. Larsen of Sanpete
county is said to be working in the in
terest of a Democratic candidate from
his district. Two Republican candi-
dates who have been doing considera BILE
quiet but none the less effective WORK
among senators and friends Of the
governor are S. s. Jones of Provo and
u. p. Robertson of Eureka
n phase of the situation which has
caused some little comment in inside"
circles is that two of the senators re-
ported to be the most aggressive in
the agitation for higher taxation of
railroads are HOyt Sherman, general
agent of the Colorado & Southern rail-
road and Identified with railroad inter
ests for years, and s. H. Love, traffic
manager of z. c. NJ. l., who is SUP
posed TO be in about as close touch
with the big railroads as is any Salt
Lake business man. Both Senators
sherman and Love are pushing candi-
dates of their own to succeed MeSsrs.
Lund and Thomas. it is said, and are
quietly discrediting the present board
as having been altogether too Ienient to
the railroad and corporate interests.
