POLYGAMIST AND LIAR.

The San Antonio (Texas) Express of
Saturday, July %, 1910, contains To-
cal news item concerning a new Mormo on
colony "across the Rio Grande from
Del Rio on land belonging to the Ire
vino estate' In connection with the
item is statement ''by w. D, John
son, bishop Of the Mormon faith, who
has charge of the colony" That state
ment is in part as follows:
Contrary to the general opinion pre-
vailing in the United States. we do not
onles. We have not receded from our
position that II is right. but in practice
plurality marriages are not sanctioned.
nor do they occur.
1t seems impossible for Il Mormon
elder to be new polygamist without at
the same time being liar. Bishop Will
liam Derby johnson of Colonia Diaz,
Mexico, is both. He went to Mexico a
polygamist among others who, as the
Juarez Stake academy prospectus says,
desired to "enjoy in peace the relations

tries, and Bishop William Derby John.
son was one Of them. The Tribune has
many times printed his name among the
list of new polygamists, because he has
taken at least one plural wife to add to
his harem since going down to Mexico
And Bishop William Derby Johnson has
not seen fit to deny the charge of new
polvgamy as made by this paper, for
the reason that he knows we could pro
duce from Diaz enough evidence TO send
him to Jail if he lived anywhere in the
United States where the polygamous
lechers of the Mormon church do not
wholly or partially control in politics

1t is n remarkable outcome of that
legislation that the currency associa-
,ions provided for in the law are not
organized willingly by the banks They
have not cared to put the law into
operation, and do not care to do so
now; but they form the associations
at the importantly of the Treasury De

MUNICIPAL TAXATION.

1t is noteworthy that those who are
making the outcry against the munich
pal tax levy of Salt Lake City this year
arc those who want to handicap the city
and do not want municipal improve"
ments or additional water supply. They
don't want the city to grow, They
want grievance against tho American
party. They are determined to have
one, and 1t is just as well since this de-
termination is manifest, for the Ameri-
can party to give them their grievance
in a small increase IN the tax levy for
the purpose of bettering the water sup
ply. AS Mayor Bransford explicitly ex,
plains, it is for this beneficial purpose
that the raise Of two mills is made 1t
is also manifest that the reason why
this added water supply is needed is be
cause of the increased population, the
increased number of water users, the
additional houses that require water
supply, And as long as this is the case,
as long as the growth Of the city com
pels the added water supply, the rea-
son why the tax increase is made is evi-
dent to every one, and is easily eX-
planned to the satisfaction Of every
loyal and intelligent citizen of Salt
Lake City.
In Provo, the City Council passed 4
levy calling for eighteen mills taxation
Salt Lakes new levy for city purposes
is fifteen mills. And yet the mayor
of Provo vetoed the eighteen mill levy
because it was not high enough. He
insists that there shall be greater levy
than eighteen mills, and he refuses to
approve the smaller levy because it is
not sufficient. And Provo is not grow
ing city like Salt Lake, either,
We notice that Mayor Glasmann OF
Ogden is also much discontented with
the Salt Lake City municipal tax levy
But the people of Ogden will recall that
they are under the disadvantage Of hav
ing Mr.. Glasmann for Mayor, and we
doubt not they would be willing to pay
the difference If they could get rid OF
him. Certainly Salt Lake would will
ingly pay the difference between the
Salt Lake tax levy and that of Ogden
rather than have him at the head of It's

ELDER MoRRIs's WHIsTLNG.

"Is the Book of Mormon false or
true7' asked Elder Nephi l.. Morris,
president of the Salt Lake stake of
Zion, in his Sunday address at the
Mormon tabernacle
That is the question, and it seems to
bother the elders a great deal. Others
have made up their minds about the
matter long ago, but it appears that
such of the Mormon people as imagine
that they have come to definite con
clusion on the point must be eternally
reinforced in their determination lest
they fail to "stay put. The subject
has little interest to most people out
side the church, They don t care if a
man wants to believe that story about
the angel Moroni, the urim and 1hum-
MIN, the breastplate, the sword of
Laban, and the spooky yarn about
the supposed translation of the ere
formed Egyptian characters alleged
to have been inscribed on the golden
plates If Elder Nephi l., Morris wants
to put his faith in it, all right; let
him 60 ahead and do it. But it does
seem that he ought not TO bother other
people about it. Besides, there are
some men and women in the world who
imagine that if they were foolish
enough to believe such stories they
would keep the matter to themselves
in order TO avoid what is commonly
called "guying.
But Mr.. Morris said one thing that
was really worth while, even though he
merely repeated what others have said
and that was to the effect that If the
Book Of Mormon story is false con-
coction, the whole outfit Of Mormon
ism should be repudiated as humbug
And upon that point, too, there is
somewhat unanimous opinion In the
world; and any amount of expressed
credulity on the part of Elder Morris
will not change that conclusion, how
ever earnestly he may state his belief
If Elder Morris, though. finds any
satisfaction in continuous whistling IN
order 10 keep up his courage, he has a
perfect right to whIstle-we don't have
| TO po to hear him.

It seems that the church organs are
