CASE

The case OF tho City of Ogden
against F W. WocAer, on the charge
Of conducting second hand store In
Ogden without a license. was taken
up In the district court this morn
ing. and after hearing the testimony
the court found the defendant guilty
and sentenced him to pay fine OF
81. the amount OF the fine having been
previously stipulated,
The defendant states that be Will
appeal the-ca to the sup eme court
The testimony given by the city,
the Witnesses being License Assessor
Carl Allison and his Deputy John
Walker. was that the defendant has
been. and now is, conducting a bust
noes on Twenty-fifth street, between
Lincoln and Wall avenues, In which
he carried secondhand goods. with
out Il license. The witnesses could
not say that the defendant had ever
sold any Of the goods In question but
that the place OF business had the
appearance OF a place whore the
things on hand were for sale. Tho
goods were displayed In tho win
dows and In the store room. on shelves
and on the floor II was also stated
that Mr. Wecker refused to pay a
license for the handling OF second
hand goods, stating TO the license as
SCISSOR that he carried only about $50
worth OF goods in the store and that
ii he were to pay 500 as license. It
would not pay him TO continue his
business
The defendant testified that he is
in business as stated by The witnesses
for the prosecution. but that he has
not been conducting a secondhand
store He said that 90 or 95 per cent
of the goods he has for sale are new
goods, he holding to the idea that he
should he classed as a merchant
rather than a secondhand dealer
The city merchants license law pro
yides that merchants of a certain
ing. where new goods are bought and
sold, shall pay TO the city a gradual
ed license. based upon the valuation OF
the capital invested. but n flat license
Is fixed against secondhand dealers.
Mr.. Wecker contends that his place
Of business should be classeJ as mer-
chandising rather than as that Of a
second hand dealer which would
greatly reduce his license. In this
contention he maintains that he has
been uujustly Disseminated against
and TO settle the matter will carry
the question To the supreme court of
the state.
The case OF the City against George
Mcbride. embracing the same propo-
sitlon. was also considered by the
court and the same decision rendered
rs in the WecRer case. These cases
were both heard in the municipal
court, verdcts of guilty bolng rend-
cred and appeals taken in each in.

ZEPPELIN

Great German Airship
inventor Was Inspired
by the Civil War

New York. Nov Count Ferdin-
and Won Zeppelin. the German air
shlp-maker. is planning to visit Amer
lea some time In the next year or
TWO. according 10 his cousin, Hugo
ven Zeppelin. who is now in New York
with his wife on the first stage of
An American pleasure trip. Hugo is
associated with the count In his
work.
You know the count bears vivid
Tecollections of his part in your civil
war when he made his first trip In
balloon. II was with General Carl
Schurz brigade that he had his first
opportunity to ascend In a captive
balloon to tako observations of the
Confederate troops His experience
n acTonautlcs during your civil war
had a good deal to do to make him
develop the dirigible as an instru-
ment of war.
Motor troubles seem TO be the
Greatest difficulty with the dirigible
balloon. otherwise | believe every diff
tlculty has been overcome, The Yep
pclin No Z, Is now under construction
md ] believe 1t will be the greatest of
all this series of dirigibles."
Hugo Won Zeppelin said that his
cousin had no intention OF surprising
America by coming across the At
lunIic In an arship, although Il was
not improbable that he would bring
small dirieible with him. The
count he added. regarded the Well
man attempt to cross the ocean as an
extremely hazardous undertaking
which was doomed 10 failure before
start was made.
The Idea OF polar expedition by
balloon. however, has a firm hold on
the aged count and he will launch
such an expedition next summer with
the approval and patronage of Prince
Henry OF Prussia. The count and
Prince Henry spent nearly two months
recently in Spitzbergen making prep
arations for the polar trip. They only
returned n few weeks ago. declaring
that everything was found satIsfac-
tory.

ON TAXES

To the Editor of the ogden Stand,
ard-Wo notice by your editorial IN
the Saturday Standard that you take
Issue with Superintendent Mills on
what he said before the student as
sembly at the High school last week
regarding state aid for high schools,
and We desire to call your attention
TO two or three matters pertaining
TO his talk
You state that the Superintendent
urged the pupils TO have their par
cnts vote Yes on the first four of
the proposed amendments. Superin-
tendent Mills did not urge the first
four amendments before the student
body We note from your editorials
that you are in favor OF question No
l, which deals with state aid for high
schools, The talk OF Superintendent
Mills was entirely in harmony with
that He stated that there had been
an eight-mill state tax on the Vnlua
tion of property since the beginning
OF statehood, and that question num-
Der one continued that tax the same,
but that one half mill of 1t would be
diverted from the purpose for which
il had been used formerly and would
be distributed over the state for high
school purposes, and that ogden
would receive approximately $1,000
OF this tax. He stated that We are
getting three bills for school purposes
ut present. and that that had yielded
Ogden about 100000 and he felt that
one-half mill would surely Yield one
sixth Of the amount that three mills
Yield, and that it was a reasonable
thing to expect the increased valua-
ton to yield Ogden about 81 900 from
this tax. He stated that 1t would not
be a rise over the present taxation.
but that the taxation would continue
the same if the people voted Yes
to this amendment Superintendent
Mills did not oven urge the students
TO ask their parents to vote Yes" on
this amendment, but he told them to
explain IL TO their parents and, IL
they should vote No; however, the
effect of his talk would certainly be
In favor of voting Yes"
You state that half-mill on Weber
County'S assessment OF $lS,5OO 600
would yield Ogden 50 ,250; but it must
be remembered that ogden city does
not receive the proceeds Of a tax
levied on the valuation of the entire
county. The city valuation Is S13-
250,00O and a half-mill on that would
be S6,G2o. so It appears that Ogden
City about holds her own on state
tax for school purposes and none Of
her proceeds are distributed among
outside counties. as her school popu-
lation is so heavy that a per capita
tax returns all moneys for which she
Is assessed. This would not be the
case in taxation for other purposes.
because that would not be given back
according TO school population. We
feel, therefore. with you and Superln-
tondent Mills. that il IS a good t1InG
TO vote Yes" on, at least, question
No. L
Yours Very Truly.
