Protest to Be Made to License In
Addition to Tax On
Stock.
EXAMPLE IN LOS ANGELES.
1t May BE Followed Here in Propa-
ganda 10 Be Launched by Some
Trade Organization.

Just whore the storm Is going to
break is yet uncertain, but hard times
in Utah are proving that necessity can
be the mother of contention as well
as OF invention, and one of the pro-
missed results OF the first class, is n
war OF the merchants against the mer-
chants license law.
Merchants as class were hard hit
by the trade recession of last fall. In
1904 rents were higher than in 1903, and
the rents piled up every year steadily
from 1904 to 1905 the summer of 1907
seeing some pretty tall jumps along
Main street. This was all velvet for
the property owner but for the tenant
1t came near to producing something
like the spirit which actuated the riots
of the big sea coast town to the east,
and refusals to pay.
Then came the state, demanding
more taxes, with corporation license
also came the city with more watch
full eye for the water rate, the tax on
the stock Of goods, and also the things
against which spirit now runs high
the merchants license.
MERCHANTS TAKE STOCK.
A feeling is spreading that with
slackening trade the combined power Of
various tax sources including the rent
man, TO charge far outstrips the COM
bined power of the merchant, with all
his profits. to pay up. The result has
been n taking of stock OF the various
tax accounts and license fees required
and the merchants license has been
chosen as the most vulnerable spot to
attack. 1t will be held that an estab-
lshed merchant, paying already a
heavy tax on the value of his stock
of goods, should not again be pursued
for license for doing business with
this stock of goods which has already
been amply taxed.
The local merchants have taken a
pointer from Los Angeles in the matter,
and in that town they succeeded In
convincing the city that they were
overtaxed, and that IL didn't pay to
drive the heart out OF the merchandise
ing business.
1t is probable that within few days
the present sentiment will crystalline
into set form and will be launched as
a. public propaganda through some of
the various commercial organizations.
Merchants already have the matter in
charge, but are not ready to make
announcements of their plans. Mayor
Bransford has been looking to this
source for decided increase in the
city's revenue for 1905,

in the justice OF capital punishment, in
general, whatever might be the evil
dence upon which a person was con-
victed.
James S. Freebairn was excused by
the state for the same reasons, ex-
cepting that he modified his statement

Due here Monday next. the U. s.
Army transport Sherman sailed yester-

Springfield rifles for Manila. On board
the Sherman too, is large quantity Of
coils for the submarine mines carried
by the troopship and the usual full
cargo of ordinary supplies, which here
tofore, have appeared to be sufficient
for the needs Of the War Department
in the Philippines.
Il have not regarded the sending of
the cartridges and rifles to the Islands
as anything worthy of notice" says
Colonel Bellinger depot quartermaster
fthe army at San Francisco.
There have been no rush orders in
connection with these shipments
1T is customary for big shipments
for Manila to be sent from New York
direct by merchant vessels through San
francisco, rather than by the trans
ports, aud that explains why the China
is carrying supplies for the Philip
pines"
For the past few months the un-
usually large shipments of war muni-
tions that have been shipped from this
port to the Philippines have called
forth comment" says the San Fran
cisco Examiner, "The fact that the
China. a commercial liner, is to carry
supplies to the Far East at this time is
taken as evidence that the government
is desirous Of rushing the munitoins
to Manila. 1t is said to be a part or
the plan Of the government officials
to place the Philippines on a thorough
war footing IN case Of any possible
emergency"
