TAFT ON HIS NOMINATION

The matter of the validity OF the
nomination of President Tai; at the
Chicago National Republican Conven
tion is something that is so clearly set.
tied in his favor that no one who
properly understands the matter aud
who is Of honest, candid mind, has the
least question about this matter any
more. President Taft himself is not
man who would accept nomination
upon which there Was any faint OF who
would impose himself upon his party
as candidate unless il was his clear
right In recent number of the Sat
urday Evening Post the President eX
plains himself ON this point in the
following terms:
No consideration OF party veal og per-
sunal ambition would for single instant
tempt me 10 stand before the America n
people as the Presidential candidate OF a
great party, did ! not know that there
was no stain or flaw resting on my nomi =
nation; did | not know from the most
paInstaking examination OF the evidence

Of that nomination arc as hoscless as
they arc vicious: did | not know that
every candid aud unprcjulired observer
who viii devote the time and pains nee
csSa,y To an examination Of the pro-
ccedinGs of the Republican national com :
mttee and OF the Republican ndtlcual
convention. must pronounce the nomina-
ton conferred on me without stain and
without defect But. knowing that, !

pie WHO tour years ago elected me to
the highest office In their Sltt 10 stand
resomte against those policies and poll
ticlans who would sacrifice the welfare
OF this fair republic TO personal ambi-
ton, or to unwise economic experimental =
ton.
That is precisely the stand that the
Presidents friends and those who have
noted the honesty aud candor of his
course would expect from him. He is
not man TO usurp anything or to put
himself in position where he does not
rightfully belong. And we are glad TO
see that even though the matter was
fairly settled before. he comes out with
this clear and ringing declaration which
ought TO set all cavil at rest

20 keep up that county hospital. saying
nothing of the money sunk in its con
structiop.
Incidentally we may remark that the
arguments presented by some or the
politicians this year, that when the as
sessed valuation is largely increased
the tax rate is lowered. is completely
exploded by this showing. Not only
is the tax rate in this county not low
cred by reason of the more than dou'
bling OF the assessed valuation, the fact
is that the rate has also increased %
per cent, showing on the whole three
times a. much taxation levied the pres
eut year as was paid in the year 1900.
While. therefore. The statement re-
ferred 20 is n powerful political argu.
ment against the present management
in this county, it is also conclusive in
showing the fallaey of arguments that
have been presented on tax valuations
aud tax rates the present year; and II
seems clear that those who have pre-
sented those arguments knew while
they were presenting them that they
were trying TO mislead the voters and
impose upon the taxpayers.
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1912-10-24
a POWERFUL SHOWING

The Democratic cauIpsigu. committee
in Salt Lake county has got out a fl.
uancial statement showing the increase
IN tax valuation of this county 10 bave
practically doubled in the last ten
years. But the county tax rate, IN
place of being reduced has increased
from 10 mills TO So mills, and the
pertinent question is put, ''Why pay
excessive taxes to support political
machinc9'
The statement is made very much in
detail, aud in general is admirably
presented; but it fails TO distinguish
between the valuation in this city and
the county valuation outside, in the
years 1910 and 1912. This break makes
il impossible TO trace satisfactorily the
comparative growth Of city and county
values aud the comparative increase
of the rate OF taxation in the two tax
units of the county. For ordinary com
Putatiou, this lapse makes no great diff
ference. but for the one who would
trace the matter thoroughly, these divi.
sions should he made for tbe years 1910
and 1912; otherwise there is lapse
that needs to be filled.
The valuation Of salt Lake county.
including the city, in the year 1900,
was s3s,90i,3So The county tax rate
that year was 80 mills. The tax valu.
alton of the whole comfy the present
year amounts to Ssi.052.23i. aud the
tax rate is 800 mills. The county
revenue from direct taxation. there
fore, in 1900 was less than 100000.
But the assessed valuation between the
year 1900 ANA the year 1912 very much
more than doubled, jumping from
SS.9Ji.3s9 to So .0J2. PA. So that the
county revenue from direct taxation
this year will he upwards Of Si65 900,

is not 8 continual stream OF voters.

une Yesterday morning is ono that
offers much hope for help in this mat

sioncrs have right 10 provide the Vo''

there should he liberty TO vote by

prefer. This is clearly what ought TO

machine and the Australian ballot both

all and ample liberty to choose. Those
VINO wish To vote The ballot could do
so, and those who wish to vote on the
machines could do that.
This is evidently ihc proper thing for
the election here on November 9TH, and
we trust hat those who have the mat

Supreme Court. if necessary. where the
actualities of the case can be clearly
presented and are certain to te fairly

DEMOCRATS COMING OVER.

President Taft. in his recent analysis
of the present politica! situation, stated
that large numbers OF Democrats were
that only thus could they support the
constitution and the principles of the
republic as these have been heretofore
understood and excmpified.
This statement Of President Taft is
fully verified from day to day. We
have noted heretofore, for instance,
the declaration Of former Governor
Boies of Iowa. who was possible
Democratic nominee for the Presidency
some years ago, and for many years a
very prominent and positive Democrat.
He is now out for President Taft.
The same word comes from North
Dakota, where Representative Hanna,
who has heretofore been a strong and
ardent supporter of Roosevelt and was
the nominal head of the Roosevelt
movement in that State. and is now the
candidate for Governor on the Repub.
lican State ticket Of North Dakota, de.
clares for the Republican National
ticket. He is out openly for Taft, be.
ing quoted in q dispatch from Grand
Forks under date Of October goth, as
openly announcing his support of the
President.
Charles Francis Adams. who has
acted more with the Democrats than
with the Republicans for many years,
is out in a very strong, able letter in
favor of President Taft, stating that so
far as he sees it, the election Of Presi-
deut Taft is the only solution Of our
present political troubles, the only hope
of business prosperity so far as poll.
tics affect that prosperity. and is the
only safe refuge from socialistic drift.
And so it goes all along the line,
Democrats arc flocking to the party Of
safety and of prosperity everywhere,
and everywhere throughout the country
there is seen Frightening Of the pros
poets for the reelection Of President
Taft.
