The great increase in the plurality
by which the Democratic Governor Of
Oregon has been reelected, and the

which the Republican candidates for

AN INSTRUCTIVE REPORT

The County Auditor, Mr.. /. NJ. Fisher,
has given to the public a report on the
receipts and expenditures of this coun-
ty for the past year, compared with
those OF the year before, which is full
OF meat, The expenditures, II we take
out the excess for political road-ma-
king In 1904. show an increase the past
year over the year before But the re-
ceipts show a surprising gain. which Is
| accounted for in the tax account set
Elements, increased yield from taxes
sale OF jail site, etc. The total receipts
for the year amounted to s627, ,162. .4S,
and the disbursements to s53l. .eS5. .6S
leaving on hand at the close of the
year on December 81. 1906, ss5, 1850.
1t Will be instructive TO note that the
roads and bridges required S12. 500 50
less In 1905 than In 1904. the difference
being In fact. though not so stated in
the report that in 1904 the campaign
tor County Commissioners was on. and
In 1905, these officials did not do so
much hustling. and didn't see so many
roads that needed repairs.
1t is pleasant to note, too. that the
County Infirmary made a far more
economical showing the past year than
1t did the year before. the figures be-
ing sl55e9.H for 1904, and but s11, 1874 70
for 1905. a saving of S3S3502 Whether
or not The Tribune's exposures of
wrong-doing and slack methods had
anything to do with the decrease in ex-
penditures or not, the fact remains
that the decrease Is shown.
The Sheriffs office Is an Increasing
expense to the public: Its figures NAV
reasonably cause anxiety TO the tax
payers. In the old days. the Sheriffs
used to do we'll in this office; but now
II fs drag, the fees from It amounted
TO but s542o.43 In 1905. against an ex-
pense OF s27, ,56S.46; In 1904 the expense
of this office was s25,S42.O4; the In
creased cost for the year being sl72642.
If this sort Of thing continues, there
Will presently have 10 be a special tax
to pay the county officers.
The Recorders office used to bo ono
OF much profit to the incumbent. but
now IL Is a losing proposition. The
revenue from this office for the year
1905 amounts to but S15,O7S51. but the
expenditures on account of 1t were s20.-
1876. At this rate. none but a rich
man could afford to take this office
and run 1t for the fees, for It ran be-
hind s5726.24 the past year
The Auditor showed a decrease in
the expense OF his Office. from the
s69o5.55 OF 1904. to s5691 S5 In 1905. very
handsome decrease.

FACE THE RECORD

We have given the defenders OF the
old regime In this city time to defend
that record If they could or were dis
posed to try. On Monday morning was
printed the showing Of crimes commit
ted in this city during the month OF
January, 1906. under the old rule, and
the same record for January, 1906 un-
der the new. Here Is the summary of
the matter
In January, 1905, there were eight
robberies re- o"ted. eleven burglaries,
five hold-ups and two thefts a total of
twenty-five crimes, I'm eighteen of these
twenty-five cases, the criminals es-
capped altogether
In January. 1906, there were but ten
crimes reported, two hold-ups (both un-
der the old jurlsdiction), FIVE burglaries.
and three attempted burglaries. Not a
hold-up since Sheets came into office,
Three convictions on burglary charges.
That Is a comparison which more
nearly partakes OF the character OF a
contrast than of a comparison
What has the opposition TO say about
It?
Especially what has the Deseret
Evening News, the organ of the pro-
fessional law-defying class, to say about
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1906-02-03
ACTUAL POLYGAMY.

The Deseret News is seriously vexed
of prosecutions and convictions for po-
lygamy in Arizona and New Mexico.
The church organ returns to its old
and silly evasion of facts and makes Its
usual technical argument as follows:
The Post does not seem TO understand
the distinction. established by tho Ed
munds law, between polygamy. which is
the marrying of plural wives. and the diff
fcrent offcnse of living I'm the plural fam
ily relation
And yet the Post is exactly right In
speaking OF the plural wife relation as
being polsamous. Webster defines po-
lyGamy In this way;
\ plurality Of wives or husbands at the
same time, or the haying Of such plural
itN; usually the condition OF q man hav-
Ing more than one wife
Neither the Post nor any other fair
and reasonable journal in this country
can be expected TO follow the definition
which the News now makes. Notwith-
standing the fact that the Edmunds
law made two kinds OF offenses OF the
marriage and the continued marital re-
lation, polygamy remains as q fact "a
plurality of wives or husbands at the
same time, or tho having of such plu-
ralityS usually the condition OF a man
having more than one wife"
The Post will doubtless be able to re-
call tho reason for the distinction as 1t
appeared In the Edmunds law; and II II
shall choose to publish an account OF
the proceedings and legislation of that
time and their object, its account Will
be as annoying to the News as II will
be interesting TO the readers OF the
Post
1t had been found to be impracticable
and even impossible to make prosecu-
tions for polygamy with any hope OF
success. Long before the officers of the
law could secure evidence Of a polyga-
nous ceremony the statute OF limita-
tion had run out against the prosecu-
ton; or, as was known. witnesses
would forget the dates or commit per-
jury to protect the offenders.
In order to reach this peculiar situa-
tion the Edmunds law prescribed an
ddtIlloldl oueUSe, known as unlaWfOl
cohabitation; meaning TO cover thereby
the continuing polygamous relation OF
a man with his plural wife or wives
The naming Of the offense as unlawful
cohabitation' does not In any degree
detract from the fact as stated by the
Post concerning polygamy in Arizona
and New Mexico
Monogamy does not merely consist OF
the ceremony by which q man is mar
ried to one wife; and polygamy IS not
In fact to the mere plural mar
riase VOW. The people of this Nation
understand what Is Mormon polygamy.
For instance, they know that the editor
of the Deseret News is a polygamist be-
cause he lives with more than one wife.
Both of these men have sworn to their
crime and, however untruthful they
may be In other respects. the common
knowledge confirms Of them that they
are polygamists living In polygamy, and
that they and the followers of their
cult are polygamists according
to the definition given by Webster and |
understood by the people of the United
States

A PARASITIC PROPHET.

Joseph F. Smith. the chief hierarch,
is very fond of declaiming against law
yers and other professional men as par
asites and pests upon society-non- pro
ducers, and extravagant consumers OF
the product Of the toll of others
1t is part Of the absurd hypocrisy of
this. the greatest parasite of all. to de-
nounce in others that which he prac-
tices TO Its final extremity.
What does he produce? You will find
the answer in his sworn testimony be-
fore the Senate committee
He tolls not, neither does he spin and
Solomon I'm all his conjugal glory was
arrayed about like Smith.
Joseph F, Smith takes more from the
Mormon people and from the invest
ments which he has made OF the tithc
moneys. than is being paid to all the
lawyers and doctors in this State And
yet he calls these professional gentle
men, who conserve the health. the lives
and the property Of the people and who
give good value in return for the fees
they receive-he calls them parasites
and pests He denounces them and
says that he directs his sons not to be-
come such as they.

Not content with being the great alb
sorber of the wealth produced by

progeny upon the public charge, 1t is
not long since a young man, just re-
turned from a mission, applied to Jo-
seph f. Smith for his Endorsement for a
place In the public service. Mr.. Smith
answered. You are just the man for
the place, and / viii instruct my son to
carry the word to the official who has
control OF this position" The young
missionary did not get the place. a son
of the chief prophet took It. Evidently

facts. Then, Notwithstanding the
