NO ROOM FOR PARTIES,

A few days ago, noting the occasion
of the thirty ninth anniversary of The
Salt Lake Tribune, the Ogden STANDARD
said that this paper ought to come
over into the Republican party, where
| it belonged. In this the Standard errs.
The Tribune does not belong in the
cburch-ridden Republican party of
Utah. The Tribune tried faithfully for
number of years TO have a free Re
publican party III Utah. But the church
control grew more and even moro com
plcte and unmasked; so we had to de.
part from the iniquity Of it, aud aid
IN founding political party whose
members would be their own men and
women, independent Of church or other
extraneous and usurping dominance in
their civil, political, and other tempo.
raj affairs.
II is impossible under present condi.
hons IN Utah, where the church usurps
control of both parties and of the
political acts Of its members, that any
real political parties can exist without
n complete reputation of that church
usurpatiou. 1t will be remembered that
in the election of 1908, the Mormon
leaders had made the condition that
Its members must vote the local Re-
publican ticket or be stigmatized as
traitors to their church, To us,
from the standpoint Of Republicanism.
this church control, this drawing line
of politics on the religious basis, is
just as obnoxious when it favors the
Republican party as when it fnvors
the Democratic party, The principle is
precisely the same in each case. And
every real party man, VINO can call
his soul his own, must be quite as

UNFAIR ASSESSMENTS,

We see again this year the same old
punitive methods applied on the as
sessment roll against this city; the raise
in values of the assessment for this
county the present year totals $6.290,-
S03. or this $5.600,7o0 is IN Salt Lake
| City alone Increase in the county
outside of the city was $690,J03. This
is plastering it on the city pretty thick.
| The same sort Of increase was put upon
the city last year, TO the exemption of
the county. And now the discrimina-
| tion is repeated, the city being in
creased more than ten times as much
as the county.
The purpose is evident this year. the
same as last year. The county authori"
ties are placing the tax burdens upon the
city. partly TO relieve the rest of the
county, on political party grounds, and
partly to punish the residents Of the
city, also on political party grounds.
The people outside of the city are over
whelmingly Church Republican in their
voting activity. They get their re-
ward for this in light assessments and
favors Of the tax roll. The people of
this city vote against the Church Re.
publican rule and for the American
rule; they are punished for doing this
by having their assessments raised and
their tax burdens increased. Just as
the burden upon the city is increased,
the burden upon the county outside is
lowered, The whole procedure is
matter of political favoritism on the
the other. IL is an outrage, but there
ia no way to correct an injustice like
this. Yet the fact remains that it is
an injustice, and the fact also is cvi
dent that there is no speedy way to
correct that injustice or punish the
perpetrators of it.
About the worst thing in Utah IS civil
institutions is the way il raises money
for public revenues. All of the taxing
entities are made 10 pay interest to
the money lenders for greater part
of the year. The visible property is
taxed. the invisible, and the most pro.
ductive Of all, escapes taxation. Inn
mcnse amounts of revenue arc raised.
and raised unjustly, throughout the
State. IN all the taxing entities. The
constitution is modelled after the old
est style. Tt ignores absolutely all
ideas in taxing methods
1t considers that the old and long
tried must necessarily be the best, and
ignores all the newer con
framed in accord with mod.
crn scientific ideas of taxation and dis
tributing the public burdens upon those
best able to bear them. At the same
time, officials have perpetrated such
huge acts of injustice as are perpe-
tratcd year by year upon Salt Lake
City to crafty the political spleen of
the Federal bunch and those who hold
office through their favor, It is pret
ty bad situation all round, but we
hope some day TO see proper correct,

THE HILTON CASE AGAIN,

The Utah Supreme Court has dealt
with the Hilton case again, not by way
Of uDsetthng the former decision as
to the actuality of marriage entered
into through sealing. but as to the liv-
ing status of that marriage during DR..
Park s lifetime, so far as his transfers
of property were concerned. AT that
time the purchaser could not DOS.
sibly have any notice that Mrs. Hilton
claimed to be the wife of DR.. Park.
She was living in the habit and reputc
of marriage with Mr., Hilton; while DR.
Park was living in the habit and reputc
Of bachelor. The sealing ceremony
performed between the two, on the sup
posed death-bed Of the woman, was
never consummatcd by them in wed.
lock; both went on their separate ways
as though it had never been performed.
DR.. Park never, SO far as known, recop-
nizcd 1T as marriage in any way
About the best evidence that she did
not is seen in the fact that she mar
ricd Mr.. Hilton and bore him a mum,
Der of children in repmted wedlock.
And yet, the ceremony was undoubted-
ly marriage with Park, legally and
as neither of the parties to it obtained
legal divorce, the Supreme Court
held it binding. Accordingly, it held
that she was entitled, as DR.. Park Is
widow, to dover right in his estate
nfter his death. And she received con.
siderable sums on this claim, under the
former decision Of the State Supreme
Court.
In the nine suits now lust decided by
that court, the point turned on her
claim to enforce her dover right as DIR.

during his lifetime And here the court
denies her claim, In one case she gave
no sufficient proof of her marriage TO
