THE CASE OF ELDER WOOD.

We see that the evening church or
gan Of last Saturday prints brief
report of Il quarterly conference of the
Alberta, Canada, stake of Zion; and
incidentally it is noted that Elder e.
j. Wood presided at the affair,
1t Will be recalled that Elder Wood s
name appears in our list of new po-
lygamists. We have told his story.
which was to the effect that he mar
red polygamously his real wife S
sister. He is one Of the lawbreaking
Skullduggers for whom President
Francis NJ. Lyman S snickersnee is
unsheathed-if we are to believe the
recent statement made by Mr.. Ly-
man. We suggest to the venerable
apostle.in-chief that Elder Wood pre-
sents All unusually fine opportunity
for a test of the apostolic steel.
Mr.. Lyman has taken pains to
oust his own brother from a stake
presidency on account of an offensc
similar to that committed by Elder
Wood, and surely he could not hesi-
tate about doing to mere elder that
which he performed upon blood
brother.
If "Skulldugger be as dcsplcable
as Apostle Lyman has pictured mm
how unreasonable it is to permit him
to act as religious shepherd of con
siderable flock of saints' At him

PREPoSTERoUs TRUMPERY.

Apostle Hyrum NJ. Smith preached
tober 80, 1910, a report of which we
find in the Deseret News of Satnr-
day evening. According to that re.
port. Apostle Smith delivered himself
of the following:
Joseph Smith talked with Cod face
70 lace. as man tellleth with his friend
ne conversed with the Son OF Man even
as Moses talked with God in the noun
tain. He received the manifestation Of
angels % sent from the presence OF the
him, to enlighten him to make known
unto him the will Of the Father. to make
clear unto his understanding the words
OF God which had been spoken In ancient
times.
Hyrum NJ. prefaced these remarks
with the statement that he would
speak in words of soberncss and with
all the sincerity of which he was
capable. And that brings to mind
what enormities man may be able
to make himself believe if he be de
termined to do so. There are those
among MS. and millions in the world al
lnrge, who are unable to credit .To
seph Smith with the mighty distinc
tion that Apostle Smith confers upon
him. They are believers in a state
ment made In the Scriptures TO the
effect that God is no respecter of per
sons; and they are therefore unwil
ing to admit that the Almighty would
single out Joseph from among all the

not prone to the suppostion that the
Lord would chum with one man apC

However, if it gives any comfort tc
| Hyrum. NJ. TO idle away his time IL
uttering such extravagant praise OF
his notorious relative, by all means hi
is entitled TO it and nobody should be

REVISION OF TAX LAWS.

The State Board OF Equalization, IN
TEN of taxation and raising revenue,
very Justly points ont that in order to
get satisfactory results the State Con
stitution will have to be amended.
Tint instrument is the crudest and most
aptiquatcd among modern State consti-
tutions, the authors Of it taking the
oldest models that thev could get, as
suming that what had been proved By
age was necessarily the best, even
though AT the very time Utah copied
the old, the people who had IT were
anxious to get rid of it. The constitu-
tion should indeed be amended, and it
is perfectly feasible to so amend it that
the State will not need to levy any
tax for It's own purposes upon any form
of visible property values, Other States
do it. and Utah could raise all the
money il needs for State expenditures
without ]evying on the assessed values
leaving those to the counties and the
cities
With regard to the proposal By the
board TO increase, or initiate, the as
sessed values, and reduce the rate of
tax. there arc two main things to say:
first, that there is no way to compel
q reduction of the rate; and second.
that the proposed raising of assessed
valuations would allow of enormously
increased bonding privilege But if the
rate is not reduced. the increase Of
value oppresses the taxpayer, and VIC
have not observed any example set by
the board itself in this direction, for.
in spite of the very heavy increase in
the State S assessment roll the rate of
State tax is kept by the board al the
highest limit of the constitution. Per.
haps the board would reply that the
expenses; to which inevitably the retort
from every taxing entity would be that
the same is true all along the line-the
revenue is needed
On the second count, that the in
creased valuation would admit of
largely extended bonding power i'm the
State, in counties, towns. and school
districts, with the added requirement
of revenue TO pay interest, the field
is so wide that the entering upon it
should be done with extreme eau
ton This sort of initiation would
feed on the very material il provides;
that is. the higher the assessments
the heavier the taxation. for reduc-
ing the rate would be difficult; and
the greater need would be for more
revenue to pay the interest on the in
creased indebtedness that the ex-
panded assessment would permit.
We should say, most decidedly, that
until the constitution can be amended
SO as to allow of modern, expert
system of taxation, it would be far
better to reduce rather than increase
tax valuations, for this course offers
the most likely way to keep down in
crease in taxation. while it would also
keep the Indebtedness at the lowest
mark.

The Secretary urges that there

but under our present system we have
no way to increase our currency wher
