IT'S INCoNsEQUENTIAL RANT.

The raying rant that the Smoot or"
gan is printing these DAYS in the form
Of big spreads on its first page about
the stealings of the American party in
this city evoke nothing but a sort Of
humorous contempt. For instance, yes
terday morning it said; 'FDo the tax
PAYERS of Salt Lake county want to
place this county under the rule of an
outfit that has stolen three millions of
dollars from the people in five years!'
Let s see; three million dollars in
five wears would be S600.0QO year. and
the question is. how ever did they do
itl Their total revenue hasn't been
much more than that, by the year. and
they have done such an enormous
amount of public work here that these
public improvements have been the ad-
miration of every visitor and the pride
of every citizen. If the American
party has been able to steal 5000. 900
year with total revenue but little
more than that. and put in all these
public improvements besides. then GER
tainly it is party of financial ability
beyond compare. That sort of rant puts
us in mind of what IN Indian agent

WHAT THE GAME is.

The Tribune has spoken heretofore
OF the proposition to ameud the con
stitutior so as TO enable the Federal
bunch to keep up the rate of State
taxation after the assessed valuation
reaches $4,000 100000. AS the constl-
tuition now is. as soon as that hgure
is reached in the assessed valuation of
the Stale; the tax rate drops from
eight mills to five mills. 1t is a salu'
tary provision, and one that the peo-
pie are entirely contented with But
the. Federal bunch is not content, aud
wants to keep the eight mill tax rate
on until the valuation reaches Si00,
100000. Under the constitution rs it
IS when tine valuation reaches 5000,
100000, the State tax rate is fixed at
four mills. So that for the valuation
from 100000 900 to $500. .000, 900 the
proposition is TO double the present
constitutional rate Of State taxation;
and above 5000 600 900. it would add
three mills. or upwards of 100000
taxes per anuum.
1t is a transparent game that the
Federal bunch Is trying to play upon
the people of the State in this respect.
There is no reason why the State val
uation should not be kept below 5000
100000 for an indefinite time. All
that is necessary is for the State Board
Of Equalization TO apply its power Of
tax reduction among the counties as
long as ii is necessary, TO maintain the
eight mill rate.
But the Federal bunch docs not find
sufficient exercise for its ingenuity and
sufficient feed for its greed to allow
the matter TO go IN that form. What
1T wants is power to double the rate
of State taxation and by all means TO
keep up the eight mill levy. aud in
crease the valuation indefinitely on
which to apply the maximum tax That
Is what the real purpose of this consti
tutional amendment is. 1t is true that
a good deal is said about the common
schools and high schools in sn effort
to overload the amendment with words
so that the people may be misled as to
the real purpose of the amendment.
That real purpose is to Cypress the
people of this State by doubling the
State taxes as compared with the rate
now fixed in the constitution
But we do not believe that the Fed.
eral bunch will be able to fool the peo.
pie of this State into allowing them
to Cypress them with double taxation
through constitutional amendment
ratified by the people vote. Every
taxpayer who votes for that amend
ment votes money out of his own pock
ct and into the pocket of the Federal
bunch. 1t is perfectly plain propo,
sltion. There is no mistake whatever
about IL, and we do not see how the
taxpayers of this State are going to
be fooled into endorsing any such rob.
blng proposition TO their own injury.

IT WAS THE OLD GAG.

1t will be remembered that T resident
Joseph F, Smith. in opening the Octo-
Der conference of the Mormon church,
asserted that he had broken no pledge
which he had made with his God, the
Mormon people, or the world That
was the old story concocted by the Des-
eret News, which has always sought to
blind the eyes of the people to the sin
ming OF its masters Probably it will
be enllghtening to the major church
organ to have itself repeated. There.
fore the following:
Now. 10 begin with. there was not and
could not be any compact between a
church and this Nation as a basis for
statehood That would he a political i'm

We again cmphatically deny the con-
tention OF The Tribune and Its party that
the church leaders have broken any
pledges. No pledges have been
broken by the church leaders. or by their
permission Deseret News edl-
torial OF December 20. 1904.

his life has he ever intended 10 use his
influence or his power to bring Nor

sneaking counsel has always comported

told the saints that the polygamous

NOTHING ON POLYGAMY,

Elsewhere in this issue. under the
caption, The Mormons and Polyg,
amy, we reprint an editorial article
from the Pittsburg Gazette Times.
One significant statement in that
article. speaking of the practice of
polygamv, is that ''If this prime tenet
of the Mormon church has been really
changed. and the leaders are determined
TO deal Wig" ousiY with those members
who transgg, 50 the rule. much of the
outcry against the Mormons by other
denominations in Utah will cease
That undoubtedly would have been true
had Mr.. Smith made the denunciatIon
attributed to him, and report of which
was sent all over the United States.
In the headlines over the Deseret News
conference report was d statement that
support in the text. 1t looks as if pos.
slbly it had been the intention of Presi-
dent Smith 10 make such dcclara tion,
out that at the last moment he was per
su2ded not to do so. 1t may have been

the head writer made his headlines to
comport with it, But that particular
speech was not delivered, and not print.
ed, yet the headlines were allowed to
stand, either from purpose or inadvert-
emily,
1t was evident in Mr. Smith S sermon
that he was holding something back, He
appeared 10 be very much agitated, and
was wrought up to high pitch OF eX-
cltement over something that did not
come forth. When he said that critl-
clsm of church leaders by members must
stop, he may have had in mind his
thwarted intention to denounce new
polvgamy, and meant to convey the
idea that he was not to blame. AS a
reward for his acGuiescence in the
wishes of some members of the apos-
tolate, who want the polygamous doc.
trine to stand as a tenet OF the church,
several other speakers at the conference
also admonished the saints that 1T was
not their business to criticize their
chief Apostle Francis M. Lyman was
secret priesthood meeting held on the
! evening of the second day of the con
ference. SO dcsirous was he to impress
this command upon the minds of his
hearers that be declared II to be I'M
possible for the prophet seer and rev.
elator to do wrong. as the Lord would
not permit His most conspicuous serv-
ant to lead the people astray.
However, and as the Gazette Times
suggests, the incident has served as a
recognition by the church of the exist.
euce of new polygamy-a thing which
il has been IN the habit of denying dur
ing all the years since 1890 up to April
1907, when it was confessed that there
had been ga few sporadic cases. But
it will require some time TO counteract
the effect of the report as sent out from
here, and we may rest assured that the
church leaders Will prefer to enjoy the
false credit accorded to them than to
