From these facts. the conclusion l wish
10 draw is this That the saints OF
Utah are taxed by tlthing. iuforced dona-

pay nothing except what thcy wish TO

the priesthood.
So far as [ can learn practically no
financial aid Is given TO any ward or

custodians of the tlthing barrel. IL the

But the point at issue among the lead

is the construction to be placed on the
law having 10 do with this presumption:
What VIII the judges at the primaries do
with ballots where no second choice is
expressed?
Some advance the theory that the bal
lot containing only first choice is in
complete and that the voter has failed TO
bring himself within the provisions OF
the direct primary law. Others argue
that To throw out such a vote would he
a gross Injustice 10 the voter and defeat
the spirit OF the direct primary law which
has for its object the exercise of an un-
ira ammeled vote by the Individual clti-
zen; free from influence o. bias.

peculiar demand. it is not possible to
obtain this In a regular way, The only
binding "adrance information" possible
