ASSESSING PROPERTY IN UTAH

a representative of the Salt Lake
Tribune has consulted the attorney
general Of the state on the rights of
taxpayers TO force those who control
the assessing Of property to answer in
court for any failure to do their full
duty. The Tribune says
Any taxpayer in the state IL he be-
lieveS that the county assessor is not
making fair or just assessment can
go before the district court and have
the matter settled by a jury. if the
laws Of this state still continue to
govern the making of assessments and
the collection OF taxes instead of be.
coming dead letter"
This MEANS lf it means anything at
all, that when John Smith, with only
six COWS and four horses, is assessed
for ten head. but the big cattleman
with 600 cattle and 400 horses is as
sessed for only 700 head, then John
Smith can ignore all county or state
boards of equalization and go straight
into the district court himself and
have both the assessor and the, county
commissioners arrested and Fput on
trial for wilful neglect of duty. And
the expense of the proceedings does
not have 10 be paid by John Smith
either the state attends to that.
AS long as Section 1850 remains on
the statute books of this state no man
need complain if he pays a higher pro-
portional tax than his rich and more
influential neighbor II also means
that II the state board OF equalization
does not take effective action in re.
gard to the big tax lodging cattle and
sheep men acting In colmsion with the
county assessors and county commits
sioners. whom they elect aad keep In
office. then the poorest taxpayer in
any county may do their work for
them and force the cattle and sheep
barons to pay their share Of the taxes.
The attorney general says the law
allows any taxpayers to bring action
against any county Official who has
neglected to do his duty as the law
prescnbes. and. based on section 1850
of our statutes. the Tribune evidently
is preparing to briag action to force
the assessing OF all sheep in Utah.
When the sheep are rounded up. then,
we presume. the Tribune Will follow
Its campaign OF honest assessing to It's
logical conclusion and insist that all
other forms of property shall be as
sessed at their true value.

NO ROYAL ROAD.

An appreciable per cent of those
American forests which are chewed
up in paper print machines nowadays,
In order to place before the gullible
pure rot displayed upon fine paper in
neat bindings, is devoted. says the
Butte Inter rMountain, TO special vol
umes upon business.
Time was when the American peo-
pie pretty generally understood that
there is no royal road to knowledge
and that substitutes for experience
are in the category with the squared
circle and perpetual motion. But,
somehow. we have lost that concep-
ton. Along with the mad race for
wealth. the Insane desire to make two
dollars grow where one grew before,
we have imbibed the notion that bust
ness sense can be disseminated.
1t all began-shameful TO relate-in
the daily press. Glib writer's with no
especial knowledge began to give vent,
some years ago. to generalization upon
business success. They were eagerly
seized upon by the unsuccessful The
magazines took it up, Several set out
10 devote themselves TO nothing else.
Then. as was inevitable. the trash got
into book form-where it is selling
like hot cakes.
There fell upon the reviewing table
some weeks ago a volume devoted to
journalism. There was not. in this
volume. from cover to cover, anything
TO indicate that the writer had ever
conducted a great newspaper and his
maXims. If followed, could only lead TO
the oblivion Of bankruptcy. Wonder
was engendered whether volumes up
on other industries manufacturing in
general. selling, buying, etc. were
equally well based.
No living soul can tell another liv-
ing could how to become proficient in
any business. Art and science, in a
certain degree. can be communicated:
but that acumen, the resourcefulness.
that wide knowledge and initiative de-
cision essential to success In any eff
fort in which battle is fought. can be
acquired only by good. hard work. And
so different is the task OF each that
any extended disquisition is worse
than useless.
Such rot, Of course. will continue to
have a great sale. with a generation
which cherishes golden dreams of
riches amassed without labor and acu-
men acquired without experience.
