gravely.

for three days the delights Of the old

his woods clothes and marched OF
down the street, carrying his bag on
his back.

eyes after his vanishing figure. Sud

THE vIADUcT AND sALTAIR

The demand of taxpayers in the
northwestern part of the city for the
widening of the viaduct over tho rail
way tracks on North Temple street
seems to be Just one, The viaduct
is frequently much crowded, and from
what these taxpayers say it is thirty
feet narrower than the original specifi-
cations. This being so, it is reasonable,
perhaps, to assume that the present
width of the viaduct was merely
temporary, and that the intention is
to add enough TO it TO make it of the
width originally drawn.
If this is the idea, thero ought to he
so that it will meet all require
ments. This without any reference at
all to the suggestion that the Saltair
railroad should be allowed TO come over
that viaduct and up TO Main street.
OF course, if that were allowed, the
immediate widening of the viaduct
would be absolutely Imperative; and in
that case it should be widened good
deal more than to conform to the
original specifications,
But we do not see, as we have
pointed out heretofore, how it is pos
sibl for the city to allow the extension
of the Saltair road to Main street.
Such a grant would necessarily imply
the permission 10 erect some kind OF a
depot or waiting shed in the street, and
so form an obnoxious intrusion into
these highways. 1t is, of course. desir-
able to provide all needed facilities for
progress, but not in the way of laming
or destroying what we already have.
This whole question should be thor
oughly investigated by the Council, as
it no doubt will be, before any def
mite action is taken; and especially
should there be the most earnest desire
TO carry out the best possible ideas IN
conforming TO the public interest,
preserving what we already have in.
tact, and guarding the public interests
with every care.

THE MEETING OF MAYORS.

The gathering of mayors Of Utah
cities in Logan is proving a fruitful
source Of important interchange of
views, and we may fairly expect that
good results will follow.
We note especially the address dc.
livercd by DR., George Thomas of the
Agricultural College on public revenue
for cities by taxation or in other
forms This address decidedly has
advanced and scientific views upon
taxation. There has been in the East
crn States a vast Improvement in the
manner of collecting revenues and
the separate using of funds derived
by taxation. The effort there is (and
DR.. Thomas especially singled out Mas
sachusetts as an example Of this form
Of taXatlon) 10 separate the State
revenues entirely from the local
revenues, the State deriving its needed
money from the taxation Of, State
corporations, of State franchises, and
of the intangible values that usually
escape the local assessor. 1t is decided
ly good and advanced idea. 1t is
gratifying to note that after The de-
livery Of his address committee was
appointed to look into this matter and
report upon it, with a view of max
ing suggestions to the Governor in the
way Of devislng n new system Of
taxation, and the taxing of the various
units in the State. In this. however, it
will be quickly apparent that the State
constitution will have to be amended
in its taxing provisions, because
under those provisions there would be
no means of carrying out DR.. Thomas s
suggestions We ourselves have spok en-
along the same lines from time to
time, and sec the constitutional diff

cation Of these better methods of taxa.
ton. That difficulty is in the constitu-
tion itself. and an amendment will be
necessary in order to get better and
more scientific method of taxation. II
is good, however, TO see the matter
brought up ia this way, and TO have
public discussion and report upon it.
Another matter, by no means helpful
in the way Of public activity, was de.
veloped by President j. H. Linford Of
the Brigham Young College, who ap.
