STATE FINANCES.

The Utah legislators should recog-
nize at once that expenditure aud in
come must more closely approach each
other in the financial affairs Of this
State or injury and disrepute will en-"
sue,
If the tax levy were now far less
than the people could reasonably bear,
a remedy for existing and presently
prospective ills might be found in the
imposition Of additional burdens upon
Taxpayers and producers. But at the
outset the lawmakers and the appro-
priation makers are confronted by the
fact that the assessments in Utah are,
in figures, already as high as the tax
PAYERS should be called upon TO meet.
Some practical and needed adjustment
can be found in a moro equitable dis
tribution Of the taxes; for at present
there are certain classes Of property
inadeduately assessed. and there are
whole localities in which the actual
value of the property-ostensi for
want of fixed standards not re-
garded by the assessors. 1t is q lustl-
property pays heavier tax, in proper
tion, than the corporations of vast
financial strength and the private own
crs of large wealth; but there is in
Utah another difficulty which should
not be ignored-in outside counties
where there is not steady market
price for property the system seems to
be one of concerted evasion Of a part
of the responsibilities of tax-paying
There are counties in this State which
draw back from the various eXpendi-
lures of the State. directly or indirect
~, more than their entire contribution
to the State fund. And there should
be remedy applied through the tax as
sessing and collecting machinery of the
State for this wrong-whether it be
with the large properties which evade,
or localities where favorable dis
elimination relieves the property in
general from its Just share. But, as
stated, ii is but partial adjustment
| of the situation The great danger will
still exist The State s finances show
deplorable weakness. The estimates
for expenditure during the biennial pc
riod oncoming are far greater than the
normal revenues will meet.
It is time that the Legislature of this
State shonld devote itself to a study
of approved scientific taxation. The
most advanced ideas which have been
found to be practicable and Just in
their operation should be embodied in
the tax laws; and, in addition, it is
requisite that the expenditures for in.
stitutions already in existence and that
the proposed creation Of new boards
shall all be brought within the power
of the State to carry without plunging
the commonwealth into debt and dis
| credit.
The people of Utah viii not approve
the work of this Legislature if this
question shall be ignored or the plain
duty of the Legislature to fit expendi-
ture TO income shall be in any sense
neglected.

MASTERFUL MEN.

International observers are fond Of
linking together the Emperor Wilhelm
II. of Germany and Theodore Roosevelt,
President of the United States. Some
times they write it "Theodore Roose"
welt and Wilhelm,'' and sometimes the
other way around, just according 10
the personal prediction or the ma
tioraity of the commentator. But in
either case. if speaking Of one. they
are prone to say that Wilhelm is the
Roosevelt of Germany and Theodore
is. the Wilhelm Of America.
II is a brilliant German who declares
that his country wants no "shadow
emperor: and many an American
is proud that this country has no
"shadow President, The wondrous
vitality and the all.enfolding genius
of each Of these men most naturally
bring them together when one ia view
ing the great rulers of the world-the
masterful men who are equaling the
gigantic characters Of past gigantic
ages
Wilhelm has endeared himself TO his
people because he has Joined mn as
sumption in their behalf with his own
sef-esteem, Calling himself their lord
and master, he correspondingly ele-
Yates them by his declaration that
united Germany is the ruling ma
ton of the world and that Ger
mans are superior TO any other people
that ever lived. His domineering has
not produced any of the predicted
! insurrection. On the contrary, it has
made for the stability and power Of
! his dominion. 4 weaker man, or a less
! aggressive one, on the German throne
would have scattered the work Of Bis
marck to the four winds, and the pres
ent Wilhelm would then have been
King of Prussia, instead of being En-
peror over the Germanic federation.
But with every fair and justified
pride in the great ability Of Theodore
Roosevelt, and with unstlnted admira-
| tion for his vivid patriotism, it remains
question with historians and So
biologists whether the imperial way is
as safe for Republic as it is necessary
for monarchy. When President
Roosevelt, by the exalted power OF
self. sets aside old forms, contravene:
accepted principles Of relation be
tween the several departments OF
our Government, and makes of him
self, TO the full extent of his effective
ness. quite the equal autocrat with his
twin soul of Germany, there are many
among the conservatives-and they arr
not the less ardent patriots-who be
lieve that peril to the institutions

think, are as ambitious as Caesar ant

AN EVIL DOSE.

The utter shamelessness and self con
tempt of the Mormon church and its
leaders are demonstrated in a clearer
light than ever before. by the methods
and arguments which are utilized in the
defense of Smoot.
Reed Smoot is a responsible, trusted
and intensely devoted member of the
apostolic quorum of the Mormon
church; the favorite of It's chief hie-
rarch; and himself en- route to the
presidency of the church-with very
strong prospects of attaining that dis
tinction.
But in order to protect him in a
worldly honor-his place in the Senate
of the United States-this apostle of
the Mormon church permits his advo-
Gates. his attorneys. and his friends to
assert that he is opposed to the present
practices of the church. to its present
leadership, TO the lives of its leaders;
and by his silent acquiescence. if not
by direct speech, Reed Smoot in Wash
ington assumes 10 be at radical vari-
ance with the entire church govern
ment and with the individual leaders
and their practices and teachings.
A more degraded and contemplate
defense was never invoked ia behalf of
pickpocket or a horse thief. 1T is
worse than turning State s evidence !:
il is equivalent to the declaration that
when in Utah he permits himself to be
called a prophet of God living in har-
mony with other prophets of God for
gain; and when he IS ont in the world,
to escape the consequences of the gem
cral crime. he repudiates the whole out
fit-also for gain.
The Mormon who can stomach that
must be ready to swallow mule, il
only it has the church brand on it.

UNCOMMON RIGHTS.

Speaking of the case against Judge
Alfred Budge in Idaho. in which pro-
ceeding it is sought to test his right
to n place on the District bench (the
Constitution of Idaho inhibiting any
man who practices or sustains polygamy
from voting or holding office) the Paris
Post. an official Mormon print of south
eastern Idaho, says that the lease
must decide for all time whether Nor
mons have rights in common with other
relgionists or not
Now that is exactly what will not be
decided; that is exactly what does not
need to be decided; and that is exactly
what could not be decided by this case,
The Constitution, the decisions of
courts, and the general sentiment of
the people Of this country-the princi.
pie upon which the Republic was found
ed-all have decided this question to a
fnality. Mormons have rights in COM
mon with all other religionists.
But the trouble with the Mormon
leaders is that they are determined that
they shall have uncommon rights over
and above all other religionists.
In this Idaho case, for instance. the
provision is operative upon all religion
lsts and pon~religionists alike; but tlfe
Mormons protest that they do not desire
to have it applied to them. An effort
was made TO have voters subscribe to
the test oath in the recent election; 1t
,.ho ioI no
common application of the provis,
ions of the Fundamental law; it was
Mormons who. by the aid of Gov. Good
ing, cast the challengers into prison;
il is Mormons who claim uncommon re-
hgious right to be above Constitution
and law.
There has not been any time when
the Mormon people could not enjoy all
the common religious rights which
prevail in the United States-and that,
too. without prosecution or persecution.
There may have been controversy be.
tween them and other reEgionists; but
that is not any derogation from the en-
ioyment of rights-in fact, the Mormon
church would be the quickest TO insist
that the right of quarrel upon theologi-
cal questions was the inherent privilege
of the cult one Of it's essentials. But
the law does not, nor would the Govern
ment in any of lis branches, make con-
troversv with the Mormon church or
any adherent thereof within the domain
of common religious right. The ex-
traordnary assumption of the hierarchs
is that they may have an elastic faith
which will comprise any practice that
may appeal 10 their gross natures and
will protect it under their claim that
it is a part of their faith. They want
to keep all other religionists on the
common ground Of religious right, and
they desire their share of this posses
sion: and then they insist upon the
sole possession of all the rest of the
domain of theological speculation and
practice-legal or illegal.
