SHOULD FIND SUPPORT.

From this 1t can be seen that the
vital interests OF the country can be
tostcrcd and protected by the building
of good roads and surely the movement
should find its most hearty support In
the city because the cities are pos
scssed with the wealth and In a great

tribute freely to the support of this
movement and thus insure its success.
In fact, everyone is interested in and
will receive. benefits from better roads
throughout this fair country of ours.
To me tho most beautiful and endur-
ing monument to Abraham Lincoln
that has ever been proposed, would be
n national boulevard from Washing

a foot path and also a highway that
would accommodate safely all manner
of vehicles. whether team or automo-
bile, and In the center of 1t lawn
100 feet wide. shaded with beautiful
trees, with here and there fountains
of pure water and occasional monu-
ments commemorating the life and
deeds OF Lincoln and other heroes In
the same cause for which he lived and
died, and the name of this road to be

1t is evident from reading the car

this design and admonition and especi-
ally is it evidenced in the history of

To the Editor-As to the crying nee
advisabilty of having it as soon as
possible, every one without exception
is agreed.
AS to the objections against voting
the bonds. all of which objections arc
embodied in the letter by Gratis" and
very clearly and forclbly expressed
therein. let us look them squarely in
the face. and see what they really
amount to.
First as to the added burden of tax
alton. Consulting the very clear and
able report of County Auditor Hegin-
botham we find that the total value of
taxable property for the city of salt
Lake. in 1909 was something over S52,-
600 600. on this sum 1t Is proposed to
raise S7O0, 900, which will raise the pres
ent rate one and one-third cents on
the dollar. OF would, If the 100000 was
to be raised in one year, but the pro-
posed arrangement is 2O-year bond
so that the one and one-third cents Is
to be divided by 20. making the addi
tional tax .0006 or two-thirds OF one
mill. So that one who pays taxes on
a $4,000 property Will have to pay 50
more than he now pays.
All this on the basis OF $52 900, 900 of
taxable property The valuation OF
this city's property in 1900 was SCI. oo0.-
900, a gain of S21.000. 900 in 10 years.
Does any one doubt that in the next
10 years the gain will be much. very
much greater? will probably reach so
or 100 million2 which will cut that
additional burden of taxation" down
10 alD inn ~ n l,1o ronthfnn
Now. Mr.. Gratis, is there really
shadow OF reason to fear mortgage
on the home" or any such woful con-
sequences il the bonds pass? Cheer up.
Mr.. Gratis. cheer up!
Now. as to graft" in the board of
education Dust here let me say that l
am not a Mormon, and have lived In
this city only about n year. so I can
hardly be accused of bias on that
score). but 1t Is so easy to cry graft
when one is not called upon to prove
It, 1 do not assert that the members
of the board are injured angels. but

ence. / think 1t fair to assume that

would be enough of a check upon the

time In the future find yourself a
member OF the board OF education and
think you viii then realize how even
the pure in heart may have the cry
OF graft" hurled at him.

there any reasonable reason why we
