Municipality May Now Go Ahead With
Assessment Based ON Value of
Stocks Carried.

Tho right of the city to impose Ii
cense taxes upon merchants doing
business within its limits was upheld
In an opinion handed down by the
supreme court yesterday. The ruling
sets ut rest all question with regard
To the much mooted matter and opens
up to the municipality a great field
for Increasing its revenues.
The case was that OF Salt Lake City
vs. the Christensen company. The
company Is classified under tho license
ordinance as being In the nineteenth
class--Value of stock ranging between
$1,000 and $2,000--and the amount of
license due hereunder was $50,
which the company refused to pay.
The case was transferred from the
city court to the Third district court
under an agreed statement of facts. to
ascertain the legality OF the ordinance.
The district court upheld the right OF
the city to impose the license, and the
company appealed to the supreme
court on the ground that the law Is
filled with inequalities and was in
valid. The supreme court holds that
there is no method by which an alb
soiutely equal and uniform basis of
taxation can be reached but holds that
the ordinance does not offend against
the constitution Of the state in this
particular, AS the sliding scale apply
Ing to licenses adjusts as nearly as
may be an equitable division as APP
piled to the class in which they are
assessed. The ordinance is sustained
by the court and the city may now
proceed to collect licenses under 1t.
The prosecution of collecting the ST.
eco assessed as license money due from
the telephone companies for instru-
ments now In operation, and for the
assessment of S25 per car against each
regular street car now in service on
the line Of the street railway as we'll
as many other licenses which had
been held up pending the decision OF
the supreme court will now be
pressed.

Buttons Point to Bryan.

There are many things which point
to the election of William j. Bryan
this year, but one of the surest indi
cations, and one which has never been
at fault in the last three or four cam
raigns is beginning TO tell the story.
BIN, the button man, has made it
public early in the campaign, and the
announcement coming from him this
year is significant. BIN is the orig
inal man who put out the campaign
baton. with the picture of the candi-
date photographed thereon, and
brief word describing some event con-
nected with him. Not only buttons,
but watch fobs, pictures and other
|emblems are graced with the wearers
political favorite. The putting on of
la button on the lapel of voters coat
is one of the surest indications of his
intent in the coming election. The
man openly wearing a Bryan button
will vote for the Nebraskan come
what may.
The citizen from whose watch fob
hangs a picture of William H. Taft
will vote for him in spite of injunc-
tons or anything else. These men
are generally frank and open, and
have no desire to hide their inten-
tons. They blaZon it to the world
in this way. OF course the buttons
and emblems are all made by the
same firms. No house makes a spe-
cia.ty of Bryan or Taft buttons, but
the dealer pays his money and takes
his choice. One of the most renown-
ed of these statesmen is spending a
day or two in this city, supplying
the local trade with the little SOU
venirs. He has been all over the
west. and is now working to the east.
1t has been his experience that in
Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho. Nebraska,
Wisconsin, Missouri, the Dakotas and
other states west of the Mississippi
the demand for Bryan buttons is I'M
precedented. He has sold, according
TO his own statement. three times as
many BRYAN as Taft buttons. He has
no explanation to offer, and says he
cares nothing about why it is so. He
only knows that his order book shows
| that out of nearly every thousand OF
buttons ordered that $50 of them have
been Bryan buttons. Four years ago
he covered the same territory. and
sold Roosevelt buttons almost entire
| ly. The demand for the Parker photo
was very insignificant. Eight years
ago everything was Mckinley. but not
nearly so strong as it was for Roose
welt during the last campaign. There
! is common sense in the matter of be
| lieving the button industry shows
which way the wind is blowing. This
buttons are all sold at the same price
and by the same statesmen. They are
made up by the million, and the man
ufacturers try their best to feel of the
public pulse in advance of the making
up of great stocks. Hence they pu
men in the field early to try out the
feeling of the country that they ma.
intelligently make up their wares
The stocks today are far more thai
80 per cent Bryan buttons. In wall
of five blocks the proportion of but
tons seen We're more than three on
of five. Study the coat lapels fo
yourself and see that this is true.

Favored Trust Banks.

During the year ending June, 1907,
the federal trasury deposited more than
$100,000.0G0 in national banks. The
Standard Oil bank in New York City
and the two principal banks dominated
by J. Pierpont Morgan received about
80 per cent of these deposits, and all
other banks in the United States got
about 90 per cent
When the small banker hears argu.
ments from republican sources setting
forth that party's solicitude for the
banker, it might be well to remember
the figures herein set forth; they are
from the official reports at Washington.
They are exceedingly interesting to
bankers, as well as to others.
