BAD LAW

our readers nave PROBABLY Eeafd quo
led the old soriptural expression about
straiuing at gnat and swallowing "A
camel and that is just what our last
legislature did when they refused to
pass an income tax law, and enacted
the following piece Of legislative care
lessness which Is to be found on record
in the laws passed at the afth
regular session Of the Legislature of the
State Of Utah, Chapter la9 as follows:
Equalization Of taxes. The county
commissioners Of each county as n
board Of equalization, shall equalige the
assessment for general taxes of all cities
and Incorporated towns situated In the
county, az the times and in the manner
provided by law for equalizing assess.

section which follows this provides that
the county treasurer shall collect the
city taxes. The REVISED Statutes pro.
vide that the coppty commissioners
SAan meet en- th> arst Monday I'm IupS
For the purpose OF equali2ing the
gaxes, and they shall complete the work
not later than the fourth Mondayof he
month. The effect of this law in our
county Is, that the taxpayers in the
cities have had no notice Of the amount
OF the assessed valuation OF their proper
ty therein. Tie county board has com

set down against them withou, any

of the state there are newly elected as

less, handling the duties of the Office
for the first time. II is but reasonable
to suppose that they will get thin G,

that many people who live in the
cities, have property in the county out

at least, and in future years, as Ions
as this foolish measure stands on oul
statute books the equalization of the city
taxes is likely to be done by men VIII,
are not half so able to do justice as the
city council were, owingto the fact tha
they were familiar with the ciroum

1t goes without saying that no tire

TIE COUNTY FAIR.

TIE IEcoED in is issue of April 7th
clllod the attention Of its roaders TO the
need Of taking some steps Immediately
forIthe holding OF county fair. Pre-.
dieting that about July or August peo.
pie would be talking up the fair ques-
ton, when II was too late to make a
success of the move. But It is not SO
bad asthat, The Parowon folks haze
taken the .iniative and have decided,
so we learn from the Deseret News, to
hold a county fair at that place some
time in September. For this public.
spirited move they are entitled to cred.
IT, and the whole county should unite
with them In making tho move suc-
cess, which it Is within their power to
do. A small typewriter notice was
posted on Tree near the postoilice in
our town ddy or two since, calling
for a mass meeting last night of oug
towns folks to assist in the carrying
out of the move, but il is doubtful If
one tenth Of the Cedar people saw it.
Mr. w, II. Dover to whom the Pdro.
wan people addressed their communi.
cation on the subject is i'll and has
been confined to his own grounds for
several months, and consequently was
in no condition to give the matter az
tention. Che upshot Of the matter was
that at the time and place app1hted
for holding the meeting. but tw{ per-
sons were present, one of whonl was
commissioner I.unt, and the othdf wa
the janitor. II is likely that 4 an
