SALT LAKE HERALD: SUNDAY. NOVEMBER 1, 1908

amendment is adopted Il viii permit
the rate to be fixed by the legislature,
and the apportionment determined in
the same way. While it is unlikely the
change proposed would affect the rate
or the appointment very materially.
il would enable the legislature to in
crease expenditures when necessary
without very much restriction. On gen.
eral principles the limitation of taxa
ton is desirable. and in this case a
change is asked in order that the s-mill
rate may be retained even after the
valuation exceeds the $500, 0O0. 900 limit
State expenditures have more than
kept pace with the increase of revenue
due to larger valuations. and with the
limit taken OF the tax rate there
would unquestionably be strong
temptation to extravaganza in state
administration, the creation of surplus
offices and the evils which always go
with the power to levy high taxes.
Amendment number two should be de-
feAted.
The third amendment is designed to
change the existing law which forbids
changes in county lines without the
consent of the voters residing in the
territory affected. The change would
make il possible for the Legislature to
change the boundaries of counties or
create new counties without submit
ting the question to the residents af-
fected. 1t has become apparent that
any change is almost impossible under
the existing clause of the constitution.
Some power to effect changes when de-
sired might we'll be placed in the hands
of the legislature, but the proposed
amendment Ia Objectionable because it
would pave the way for ''gerryman
ders'' in the future. The individual
voter can judge for himself as to
whether he can trust the legislature
with this power or not: The Herald be-
lieves that the possibility Of political
manipulation of boundaries is so
strong that the constitutional pro-
vision now existing should be retained
and the proposed amendment voted
down. Vote no on question number
three"

OF all the ridiculous buneombe Of
fered the voters in this campaign the
most amazing is Roosevelt's explana-
ton that the announcement of John D.
Rockefellers support of Taft is made
10 injure the Republican candidate
The president even presumes on hu-
man intelligence so far as TO suggest
that ROckefeller's interview was given
for campaign purposes, and that the
Standard Oil magnate said it a-pur-
pose to hurt Taft.
The president seems to think that
the public can be fooled all the time.
Every interest OF. the Standard Oil
points the way TO the Republican camp
and away from Bryan. Its oil mo-
nopOly, its tremendous monopOlies in a
hundred other lines Of industry. its af-
filiation with the steel trust particu-
larly. indicate which way its selfish
interests lie Mr.. Rockefeller's frank
ness may be embarrassing, but it COIN
cides with all the facts known to the
people of the country.
1t is true. as the president points out,
that the administration has been pros
ecuting the Standard Oil in the courts.
but that is only an incident for the
company. 1t is used to prosecution, so
used to them that one of Mr.. Arch
holds chief activities has been the
naming of judges in Pennsylvania and
Ohio who would be of value in just
such proceedings. The governments
industry so far has resulted in what?
An enormous fine which was set aside
by the first court appealed to; the in
stitution of several cases which have
brought some annoyance, but no ma
terial injury, to the Standard Oil;
threats of further prosecution which
may or may not be carried out. all de-
pending probably on whether Mr..
Bryan or Mr. Taft succeeds Roosevelt.
Does any sane man suppose Rookie
Teller or any other Standard Oil mag
nate would deliberately choose Bryan
in preference to Taft as president?
Isn't it evident that the food of money

men who have their own object in con-
tributing so literally in these last days
of the campaign? Isn't it an insult to
the intelligence of the American peo-
pie for Roosevelt to ask them to be-
lieve that the Standard Oil would sup
port any Democrat for president of the
United States? And isn't Mr.. Bryan
about the last man in the Democratic
party who would find favor with the
monopoly he has fought so vigorously
and openly?
Mr.. Roosevelt has done some foolish
things in his day, lots of them. but he
has never approached this latest effort
in pure demagoguery and cheap poll
tics The Standard Oil is naturally for
Taft: so is the steel trust: so is the pa
per trust and every other pet monopoly
of the Republican party. The election
of Taft is their sole hope of retaining
power and privilege that does not
rightly belong to them. His defeat
would be notice that their grasp on the
reins of government was at an end,
and that the people are determined to
take the government into their own
hands once more, as was intended by
the founders of the republic

There is no hope of tariff reform

been revised the rates have been raised
instead of lowered. Il was necessary

necessary TO put the Republicans out IN
