The Republicans have nominated
John C. Cutler, the Mormon with Eve
wives, as their candidate for Governor
Of Utah, and Senator Smoot, one of
the twelve apostles, was IAN open and
active supporter Of Mr.. Cutler" which
is further evidence Of the alliance Of
the Republican party with the Nor
mon Church. And yet, some people
will not believe that a compact has
beel entered into between the Repub-
lican leaders and the Mormon HER
archy to deliver the electoral vote OF
Utah Tor Roosevelt in exchange for
support in seating Smcot as Senator,
and, from appearances, Cutler Cor
Governor THAT will make the Nor
mems quite powerful politically, and
the propaganda for polygamy can go
gsyly on.

With growing deficit in the reve-
nues of the government, and the ap-
preparations larger than ever before
in time of peace, the taxpayers must
look forward to either a return to the
var taxes. or enforced economy. IN
der the present administration the ex-
pe?ditures for the army and navy
alone are s1S5 900 greater than Cor
the last year of the Cleveland admin
stration, and other Departments are
run on about. the same extravagant
calibre. More taxes or economy in
expenditures will soon be imperative.
While the appropriations for pen
sions were 1921 900 less and the ex-
penditures for Rivers and Harbors
$S,643, 900 less under Roosevelt for the
fiscal year beginning July 1, 1904,
than under Cleveland in 1S94-'5, the
appropriations for actual warlike pur-
poses were $1S3, $4,000 greater. On
the whole. Roosevelt's administration
has been nearly twice as expensive as
Cleveland's, and the increase has seen
due nearly all to militarism.

Since the beginning Of the fiscal
year July /, the deficit Of re-
ceipts of the government from all
sources has been $24,OOO,OOO less than
the expenditures. If the same ratio
OF loss is continued for the next ten
months the deficit will amount to
s144,OOO,O 900 for the full fiscal year. 1t
may not amount to more than half
that sum, but whatever it proves to
be shows the wasteful extravaganza
of the present administration.
For the fiscal year ending June 80,
1901. the Roosevelt administration ex-
pended 1900, 900 more than the last
year Of the Democratic administration,
and this was only counting the
amounts in three appropriation bills
out Of seven, namely, the Army, Navy,
and Civil and Miscellaneous. That
extraordinary extravaganza will be
exceeded this year, for the appropria-
tons made by Congress exceed last
years expenditures by nearly s12O,OOO.-

There is no one thing that the
thoughtful voter should investigate so
closely as the government experdi-
lures and receipts. The Roosevelt ad-
ministration and the Republican Con-
gress seem perfectly reckless about
how the taxpayers money is expend-
ed. While under the last year of the
last Democratic administration the
Army and Navy cost $S2,OOO,0OO, the
present expenditures for those pur-
poses are costing $217,000,O00.

About twenty years ago, there was
a small sized rebellion in this State
when the state officers attempted to
execute law that existed at that
time requiring farm products to be
taxed. That law was so unpopular
that the next legislature repealed it
and from that day to the meeting
of the extra session, last month, no
one has dared to introduce bill seek
ing to tax farm products, chickens,
geese, ducks, small pigs and calves.
But the late reform committee Of
eminent citizens" who prepared the
bills thought that reform demanded
that the farmer be soaked good. In
addition to doubling the valuation of
his land they will have all his farm
products assessed at their full value.
Delegate Cunniugl an, Republican,
moved to strike out the farm products
provision. He said that inasmuch as
there was no provision to tax the pro-
ducts Of he coal mine, the oil and
gas well, that farm products should
not be taxed. All the Democrats and
four Republicans voted for Cunning
hams motion but the majority de-
feated the motion and whipped the
bill through and farm products will
be taxed. = Wayae Ne,gS
