A SPECIAL TRAIN
TO THE RESCUE
Eight Families Thought to Be in
Danger From Forest Fires
in Targhee Forest.
Especial to The Herald-Republican.)


ogden. Aug. Eight families, in
GLIDING Mrs. Thomas f. Fitzgerald and
childreR of ogden. are thought 10 be
cut off from escape by a raging fire
in the Targhee forest, which has sur
rounded Island park. a small valley
on the oregon Short Line Yellowstone
park branch line, according to advices
received at local forestry headquarters
today.
The most serious fire yet reported in
the Fourth district broke out In that
section this morning, and in the course
OF a few hours had reached the edges
OF the great timber tracts of Targhee.
Should the flames get fair start into
this reserve, they will be beyond con-
troll. say local forestry officials.
Island park is in the heart of the
fire-swept district, and grave concern
is felt for the eight ranchers' families.
Arrangements 10 take them 10 safety
on tonights Yellowstone special OF the
oregon Short Line were made, but IL
is doubtful whether the train will be
able to reach the stricken little valley.
In Condition for Fire.
Thoma f. Fitzgerald OF ogden. one
or the heaviest property owners in the
valley IS IN OSuen al present ne
describes the conditions in that vicin-
ity as ripe for a forest fire. and says
that if the flames once reach the long,
dry grasses Of Island park every ranch
in the valley will be doomed.
Learning OF the damage to railroad
property, Oregon Short Line officials
today ordered three steel gangs,
amounting TO $50 men working on the
McCammOn double track near POca-
tello, to proceed 10 the danger point to
assist in fighting the flames. An ad-
ditiOnal 100 men have been rushed
north by special train by the forest
service, and ESQ men viii be on the
fire line early tomorrow morning.
Latest reports received by District
Forester f. A. Sherman are that tie
fire is sweeping an area of many miles
in extent. and has actually invaded
the timber tracts. The situation is
the most alarming yet reported. Whole
ranches have already been wiped out
and thousands OF dollars property loss
incurred. A fire of any considerable
length in that preserve will result in
many millions additional damage, II
Is feared.

TO learn a great deal more about it
during the next four weeks.
What the taxpayers OF Salt Lake
want to know, and what they are go
ing to learn during the next four
weeks. is what they have gotten out
OF this collection of one million and
a half dollars more in general taxes
during the past i've years than in any
similar period in the history of the
city, and what they have gotten out
of the collection OF two hundred thou
sand dollars additional special tax
on the business men in Salt Lake in
two years. What has become OF the
money? How has it been expended?
Who got it?
The American party wants to ex-
pand this sort of grating to the
county. II hopes to elect men TO Of
fee In Salt Lake county which the
same crowd that is footing the city
can control. The county ticket
named by the so-called American"
party at its county convention was
named absolutely by the Salt Lake
Tribune. Every man on the ticket is
controlled absolutely by the Tribune.
Three-fourths OF the men on the
ticket are on the Tribune payroll
now, or were there in the past and
can be depended upon TO do Just what
the inner circle wants.
Let the American" party organ
answer a question. With the famous
old chimera that this extra collection
OF general ana special taxes went to
city improvements disposed OF and
proven to be untrue, let the Salt Lake
Tribune tell US what has become of
the million and a half of general
taxes Of which the people have been
mulcted in five years. Tell us what
was done with the increase of special
business licenses and taxes collected
from the Salt Lake business men to
the amount of 100000 in two years.
People are interested in that. They
want 10 know. AS the Tribune crowd
has been in absolute control of the
city government for five years, let
that paper tell us. We pause for a
reply.

AS To GENERAL TAXES.

Considerable publicity is being
given by the American" party com
mittee on defense to a statement con-
corning taxes. This statement is
being put out. of course, in an effort
to get from under the load of criti-
cism by Salt Lake taxpayers who can
not see where they are getting any
thing from the increased taxation.
The crux OF this statement is that
slightly less than half the total taxes
paid are assessed by the city admin
istration. and that there is a higher
valuation upon which taxes are paid,
and that all this is due to the county
assessor. a Republican, who fixes the
valuation Of all property in the coun-
ty for taxation purposes.
OF course. there is an increased
valuation. The american" party In
The Salt Lake herald-Republican. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1909-1918, 1910-10-13

this famous statement takes credit
for the increased value OF all real es-
tate In the city. In fact, the state
ment is made by the Tribune party
that realty values in Salt Lake have
increased from 100 to 1000 per cent
under American" party rule. Ad-
hitting. for the sake OF argument.
that a very small proportion OF that
astonishing statement is true, one can
scarcely blame the county assessor for
taking advantage of a condition
brought about by a beneflcent Provi-
dence working through the "Ameri-
can" party. (That statement is not
sacrilegious; it's merely ridiculous.)
Then, why in the name OF all that
is sensible didn't the american"
party. in the face OF this increased
valuation. leave the tax levy where
it was. at thirteen mills? In view of
the increased amount OF general
taxes that thirteen mills would raise
under the increased valuation. why
didn't the Tribune inner circle leave
the tax levy where it was instead of
raising the tax levy to ffteen mills,
thus putting additional burdens upon
the taxpayers in two ways?
Under the increased valuation, as
fixed by Republican county assessor,
who couldn't help himself because Of
the astounding increase Of realty
values due to the American" party,
idon't laugh. this is serious) thirteen
mills would have raised a sufficient
amount OF general taxes for any hon
est city administration and would
have allowed sufficient increase to
take care of the added expense due
to the growth OF the city OF which we
are all proud. In the face of this
added amount in general taxes due
to an increased valuation, the
American party was not satisfied.
II went ahead and increased the tax
levy to fifteen mills.
1t is a solemn fact that the tax
levy has not been increased anywhere
that it has not been under the control
OF the American" party. Taxes are
levied as follows: For all city pur-
poses. fer city schools. for county
purposes. for county schools. for state
purposes. for state schools. The only
increase in the general levy is in the
schedule ''for all city purposes" and
that is the only schedule that is con-
trolled by the American" party. In
all other divisions of the general
levy they are the same as last year.
Both the county and the state figured
that the increase in the collection OF
general taxes due to increased valua-
ton would take care OF the increase
in population. But not the "Ameri-
cam party. Recognizing that the
cohesive power OF loot is all that
keeps the American party together.
there had to be more loot. There
fore. the taxpayer must be mulcted
And 1T is being done.

any taxpayer that is sufficiently in
terested to want to know what is be-

LET THE TRIBUNE ANSWER.

The american" party is making
its usual reply to the facts marshaled
against 1t. proving that the people of
Salt Lake have been mulcted almost
beyond endurance during the past
five years. 1t is the same old reply.
The inquirer is shown the improve
ments that have been made In the
the statement is made that the mill
lion and half dollars more It has
cost the people Of Salt Lake for city
government during the past five years
than it did during the previous five
years, have been spent in these i'm
proyements.
That statement is. of course. I'M
true. Every person in Salt Lake who
is at all conversant with the laws
under which these city improvements
are made understands just what has
been done, and knows that the
american" party and its organ tell
an utter falsehood when they set up
this plea.
The city improvements made in
Salt Lake for years and years have
been paid for by the property owners
Though special taxes. These special
taxes to cover the cost of the i'm
provement were charged against the
property abutting upon the improve
ment. This expense was not met
through the general taxes. This
money went for something else. City
improvements are paid for by the
abutting property owners and by no
one else. In addition TO all this, the
taxpayer must step up and pay his
fifteen mills. and. if he be in business.
he is forced to pay further special
taxes in the way of vehicle licenses
and the like.
It is ridiculous for the American
party or its organ to attempt to ex.
plain the disappearance OF all this
money through the plea of city i'm
provements: it viii have to be ex-
planned in some other way. The
people of Salt Lake know more about
the workings Of the city government
than the american" party gives
them credit for. and they are going
