TAX WEALTH, NOT POVERTY.

Representing a state which has
always prided itself upon it's intel
ligence, Senator Lodge on Monday in
sisted in debate that as rule the prop
erty of the country bears the burden Of
taxation, especially of state and local
imposts. He cited Boston, with 10000
voters and only $4,000 Taxpayers!
How many of the 10000 voters in that
well-informed community who pay no
taxes directly are so dull as not to
know that they do pay taxes Indirectly?
Every voter of Boston who pays rent on
the taxed apartment where he keeps
his taxed furniture and eats his taxed
food, or why buys taxed pair of boots
in a taxed shop, or takes drink in a
taxed saloon, is taxpayer. The little
girl in taxed clothing who buys taxed
butterscotch in taxed store opposite
her school house contributes heavily in
proportion to the city, state and national
burdens, and Mr.. Lodges constituents
understand the fact.
We heavily tax consumption and the
occupancy of homes, partly for public
benefit and partly, through prices raised
by the tariff, for the benefit of produc-
tion trusts. Consumption cannot escape
taxation; and poor men are taxed
through it far more in proportion than
rich men. A graduated income tax is
one of the fairest means known of bal
ancing to some slight degree this dis
proportionate burden now laid upon the
very poor and the Industrious middle
class.
It was against this modest first step
toward the rectifcation of injustice
that the Massachusetts, senator argued.
Do bis. constituents agree with him? Or
do they think with the world that we
should reduce the cost Of living; tax
wealth, not poverty? New York World

One must rub his eyes these days to
be sure that Bryan did not win the
last election. Here, for instance, is
President Taft's attorney general ad-
vising the national banks that they may
insure their deposits. The very sug-
gestion was wicked and impracticable
less than year ago. True it is that
Bryan proposed to have deposits guar
anteed by the federal government,
whereas the attorney general has
reference to insurance companies. But
this convenient distinction may be re-
solved into plutooratic difference.

THE TRIBUNE FRIDAY MORNING APRIL 80 1909
WILLARD SNOW NAMED
AS ROAD COMMISSIONER
Farmers Ward Man Secures
Job Created by the Recent
Legislature.

Willard Snow Of Farmers ward has
been named road commissioner for Salt
Lake county by the county commission
ers. The appointment was made Thurs
day. The salary is $40 month, out
of which the commissioner must pay
his travelling expenses. The Office was
created by the last legislature and the
officer will supervise all the work on
the county's roads, besides having
charge of the collection of poll taxes.
His books will be audited the same as
are the accounts of any other county
officer.
The law creating road commissioners
did away with the road supervisors, but
provided for the appointment by the
commissioner Of as many deputy com
mssioners as necessary. These ap-
pontments are not subject to confirma-
tion by the county commissioners, but
it is quite likely that they will have
much to say in the selecting of COM
missioners, since they have to determine
the salaries. If any of Shows appoint
ments do not suit them, the salary of
this particular appointce is likely to
suffer such reduction at the hands of
the county's political pic distributors
that the Job Will not be rcmuncrative
to any noticeable extent.
Formerly there were twenty-nine road
supervisors In this county, but it is
probable that the number of deputy
commissioners will be reduced TO fifteen
or eighteen. Their work will be under
the direction of Snow, who viii be held
responsible to the county commissioners
for its proper performance.
Snow Office likely will be in the
city and county building along with
the other county officers

TOBACCO
Gazing in White DistriCt--CrOp

RAIN PROVES A GREAT INJURY

Tobacco cutting has begun in
the White Burley district and has
revealed the fact that from all re-
ports the crop will fall short fully
30 per cent. in what it promised
a month ago to make. While the
acreage this year was much larger
than ever before in the history of
Burley tobacco, the yield, it is es-
timated, will be less than that of
tie crops Of 1905 and 1907, which
were only of average acreage.
The depreciation in this years
crop is contributed chiefly to the
continued wet weather, and if the
rains continue during the cutting
season the depreciation will be
still greater.
