Rev. Andrew L. Armstrong. Aged
Eighty, and His Wife Muir

EVIDENTLY WAS A STRUGGLE

Trenton. n. j., Nov. 24.--Rev Andrew

murdered last night in their home by
burglars,
The aged couple were shot and it is
believed they died instantly The pas
tor and his wife had not retired when
the men entered their home about IL
o'clock.
The shooting was heard by Mrs. John
Sears. an aged woman, who had been
for years housekeeper in the Armstrong
family. She remained upstairs and was
so afraid she might be shot that she
hid under a bed until the arrival OF
her son. who also lived in the house
bur who had been spending the eve
ming away Meanwhile the burglars
ransacked the house and carried away
jcwclry, money and other articles.
Mr. Armstrong and his wife were
both shot in the breast. The aged pas
tors body was lying in his study, while
that of his wife was in a doorway near
by.
From the condition of the lower floor,
1t was plain there had been struggle
by the So-year-old clergyman and his
wife to escape the murderers. 1t was
believed the murderers were recog-
niZed by the Armstrong; and that they
We're killed because of this recognition.
The house was not only ransacked
but the handsome gold watch worn
about the neck of the pastor was
snatched from its chain and his pockets
were rlhed. The Armstrong; lived in
an old homestead. Mr.. Armstrong
was known to be a man of considerable
means.
A big farm adjoining the house was

The Salt Lake Commercial club Is
about to investigate two important
questions one Is the high price of
coal: another the ever present smoke
nuisance in Salt Lake City. The
Deseret News suggests that 1t add a
thiru--the always growing burden OF
taxes, under which the public Is
grooming this year as never before.
On all these vital questions tho
Commercial club can do much to
arouse public interest add spur to
the energies OF public officials and
perhaps suggest remedies for existing
evils. And of all these evils. none Is
more pressing than the tax burden
which continues to grow heavier
year after year.
The question is. when will the time
arrive that the expense Of maintaining
state, county, school and city. Will be
offset by the public income from the
growth of population. buildings. i'm
provements, the increased revenue
from corporation licenses tho inher-
lance tax etc?
Should not that time be here now?
II Salt Lake Is to be made de-
slrable and attractive place for home
seekers, investors and business con-
Germs. something must be done to
tighten the tremendous loads under
which property owners and business
men are staggering. The cost of doing
business in Salt Lake has reached such
a figure that business men can not
help viewing the future with appre
hension. Rents continue abnormally
high, and owners say It is the taxes
that keep them high.
Several leading concerns in Salt Lake
have lately made inquiries as to the
taxation rates here and in other cities
of the country. Everywhere the COM
pa,ison is decidedly against Salt Lake
city. Bankers seen by a Descret
News representative during the week
exhibited the financial statements OF
banks elsewhere. showing that the
amount set aside for taxes for the year
1910 was often not half OF what It was
here, even when the capital of the out
side banks was much the larger
This year the rate on city property
for the first timc In the history OF
tho state. reaches the appalling total OF
4O.6 mills. That means that the labor

Another Burning Question for the
Salt Lake Commercial Club

in taxes-nore than n months salary
for many a wage Garner.
The merchant with $4,000 stock
OF goods. assessed at 60 per cent. must
pay s25o.s6 in taxes this year, the high
est figure ever reached.
The bankers capital and surplus are
assessed at so to 90 per cent of their
face, and he is thus harder hit rela-
lively, than the other classes OF tax
payers How the banks are penalized
by the tax gatherer is shown in the fig
ures that follow.
If tho Commercial club were TO invite
the governor, mayor, chairman OF the
county commissioners and president Of
the board of education, TO meet with
them and to contribute their views on
the absorbing question, how can the
taxes be reduced?--a great amount OF
good would surely result. The new
legislature meets in January, and IL
the Commercial club has any recon-
mendations to make they should be
considered at once.
Interviews with some of the leading
financial institutions of the city by
Deseret News representatives elected
some very decided views on the taxa
ton question
The Salisbury company will have 10
pay $4,000 this year It's management
said a reduction ought to be in order.
The Deseret National bank paid $685.
900 this year. almost per cent on Its
capital. The bank officials favored a
conference of officials. or anything else
that would tend to reduction of the
burden. They snid that a certain bank
in another state with four times the
capitaliza ton of the Deseret National,
was making loud complaint because its
taxes amounted to $4,000. or $4,000 less
than those of the Salt Lake bank.
Walker Bros, bankers, said: Our in
creased. taxation is $500 over that CT
last year. and is not at all gratifying.
We naturally favor any move TO reduce
taxes, where 1t can be done without
giving the city n set back"
