The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1905-07-26

The Democratic organ compares
Logan's present l2i mill tax under
Republican rule with the 81 under a
Democratic Administration and then
enters into an argument calculated to
place the mule on PEDESTAL and re-
legate the elephant TO inDocuous des-
uetude. In order to accomplish this
our contemporary very carefully re-
trains from indicating by sign or word
any legitimate reason for the
extra tax. Taxes bring the revenue
TO pay the expenses of the city, and If
those expenses are legitimate, then
the tax, though it be high and some
what burdensome, can be borne with
considerable equanimity. That there
has been an increased tax over that of
the Democratic administration is
merely the result Of the aggressive,
progressive disposition of the Republi.
can administration as against the ex.
tremely conservative, non.progreSsive
disposition of our Democratic friends
If we have higher taxes, we also have
Improvements, and increased property
values, and in figures by the column
our esteemed contemporary has prov
ed that the electric light plant, which
is directly responsible for the greater
part of the increase in the tax levy,
can be made a revenue producer of
such extent that IL can not only pay
for itself within given time but furn-
lSh sufficient additional revenue to pay
practically all the yearly expenses of
the city. We have larger tax It's
true, but we have cheap lights and a
light plant that must eventually pay
back to the city far more than the in
crease OF tax at present. Improve
ments and progress in a city do not
come without taxation, and has there
ever been a time in the history of the
city of Logan when the people were
better prepared 10 meet tax? The
people have more money at the pres
sent time than they ever had and a
tax at this time is certainly less bur.
densome.

a wafer a hot iron or a spirit lamp
dissolves sealing wax, an impression
in plaster having been taken of the
seal. BY the combined use of water
and scaling wax, however. all attempts
to open the letter otherwise than by
force can be frustrated. All that is
necessary is to close the letter first
with small moist wafer and to pierce
the latter with coarse needle (the
same applies TO mucilage), whereupon
sealing wax may be used in the usual
manner. This seal can neither be
opened by dry heat nor by moisture.

Oldest Coin in the World2

This was discovered by a German
archaeologist during his explorations
IN North Syria. II is a coin OF pure
silver, bearing a perfect Aramean in
scription OF Panammu Bar Rerub,
King OF Schamol, who reigned eight
hundred years B. c. The Lydians had
always been regarded as the invent
ors OF money. but this new find shows
that the Semitic Arameans, who lived
two centuries before the Lydians. are
the Oldest known coiners of money.

ted tho. Crifte.

Thomas Gillespie, colored, was Ar
rested yesterday morning at Rocky
Point upon the charge of COMMITTING
a criminal assault upon Jane Nixon, a
16 year old colored girl, on Middle
Sound. Gillespie is charged with com
hitting the crime last Monday and the
warrant was sworn out against him
Tuesday but he managed to elude the
officers until yesterday.
The girl is said to have been fear
fully beaten and choked by her assaii-
ant. She is the daughter Of a respecta-
BILE cOlOred farmer ON Middle Sound.
The negro who is charged with the
crime is about 20 years of age and is
somewhat of a dude.
Gillespie learned in some way Tues
day that the officers were looking for
him and he kept out Of their sight.
The officers located him On Thursday
in a barn but be made his escape and
nothing more was seen of him unit.
yesterday morning when Squire w. w
Miller, of Rocky Point, telephoned to
Constable Savage and told him a negro
had been arrested who he understood
was wanted IN New Hanover county.
Constable Savage, at the time, had not
heard that Gillespie was wanted and he
$50 stated to Squire Miller. Later in the
day he learned that Gillespie was
charged with committing a serious
crime and he at once telephoned Squire
Miller to hold the negro Fortunately
Gillespie had not been released.
Squire Miller brought Gillespie to
Wilmington last night on the 6 O'Clock
train and he was me at the station By
Deputy Sheriff J.. r. Canady, of Middle
Sound, and carried to Jail.
The negro does not seem to be affect
ed in the least by the serious charge
with which he is confronted and ever
goes so far as to say that he does not
know who the girl is who charged him
with the assault. He says he did not
run away from Middle Sound to evade
arrest but only went to Rocky Point
to attend a meeting that was in prog
ress at that place.
Gillespie will be carried to Middla
Sound Monday where he will be given
a preliminary trial. 1t is said that the
evidence against him is very strong and
that there is doubt about his being
bound over to the higher court.
The crime which Gillespie is charg-
ed with committing is a capital Ole
and punishable by death.
