BONDS MEAN LESS TAXES

From the standpoint OF Tess
taxes there is only one side to
this question Of bonding the town
to fix our wretched streets-that
is, to vote for the bonds.
You want less street taxes don I
you? The bonding will do it. Isl
It will not increase your taxes
one penny; on the contrary, it
will decrease them, for in a few
years, 8 or 10 at most, the bonds
can be paid off, and the $500 or
$4,000, that for Is years past have
been yearly thrown away on our
streets, will be saved.
I'd. The bonding will leave
more money to be used in the
permanent fixing Of the other
streets than Main and Broad.
Thus, $4OO or $500 interest and
$1,000 for the sinking fund yearly,
would in 8 years or so redeem the
bonds, principal and interest.
This would leave out of the state
road tax of $4,000 or $4,000 you
now pay yearly, $500 to $1,000 tc
be applied on these other streets
that now receive a little or no
share of the total amount,of street
money spent, Main aud Broad
getting now about all.
Sd. Vote these bonds down,
and you will not only have the
same old muddy streets, but you
will not only have the same old
muddy streets but you will also
have more taxes to pay, for the
old Nasteful, costly plan of tink-
ering the streets pieceme0I, will
be followed indefinitely with moth
ing to show for it. And what is
worse, the Legislature will posi-
bly, withdraw the bond privilege,
and the town be put back to its
old low percentage of Is per cent
of its county taxes-this also
means more taxes to meet the in.
cressing needs of the streets.
Finally, in one word. by the
bond plan you can see the end of
heavy street taxes on Main and
Broad; by the old plan, big street
taxes, like Tennyson's brook, will
"go on forever! Read the Com.
missioners' plain statement of
the facts, and don't cut your own
nose off to spite your own face.
There will be no change in the
grade affecting any pavement.

illegal from beginning to end !
At their instance and against the
strong opposition of Schiff and
his host of sympathizing lackeys,
the whole outrage is being inves,
tigated by the grand jury.
This entire conspiracy is one
long tissue of lies, frauds and
violations of law. The grOssest
possible prostitution of the pro-
cesses of court of justice to be-
come the brutal instrument OF a
very rich mans hate and tyranny.
80 this is an exceptional case, J"
says some one. Far from it. In
1892 Rube Oglesby, a young
brakeman on the Missouri Pacific
Railroad, was shockingly man
gled, ruined for life, by the
breaking down of a rotten old
freight car. In July, 1894, he
got a verdict for SIS, 1000 against
the company. In December,
1896, the Supreme Court, six to
one, affirmed the judgment.
March Both, 1897, the Supreme
Court granted the Company re
hearing No. l, and in May, after
three arguments, again affirmed
the verdict six to one. Seven
months later that Court granted
the company reheariDg No. 2,
and after 20 months, for the third
time decided against the compa-
ny.
Five months later the Court
gave the Company rehearing No
s, and a year later, after the case
had been in the Supreme Court
over 8 years, aargued 5 times
and 8 times decided in Oglesby's
favor, it was decided against him
and the company granted a new
trial.
The case was retired in another
County, and again Oglesby got a
$4,000 verdict. In June 1918, II
years after his injury and z years
after his case went to the Su-
preme Court, that Court. now
with fresh railroad blood in its
make up, overturned his second
verdict by bare majority of one
and tho they had given the Com
pany rehearings, refused to
give him even one! Does any one
doubt that a railroad locomotive
was tossed into the scales of JUS
tice in that Court!
Mark also the infamous doc.
trine upon which this railroad
Supreme Court based its deci.
sion, viz, that railroad company
does not owe its employees even
reasonable care to see to it that
it's cars are in good condition, is
expressly repudiated by the
Supreme Court of the United
States.
Finally, an editor in Oglesby's
home town was fined $500 for
contempt of Court for comment.
ing upon the case after it had
been decided another act of
judicial tyranny that is fatty
against the almost uniformly
accepted rule in such cases viz,
that newspaper comments are
only contempts of Court when
made during the tendency Of a
case and then upon the theory
that they tend to interfere with
the due administration Of jus
tice.
These arc two specimens of
the acts of those beings whom
Mr.. Taft says are the highest
and hottest on earth, whose de.
cisions are comparable to nothing
but the Divine justice itself-and
to criticise which is little short Of
treason!

work yesterday, with the property own

Last night Mr.. Morningstar turned
his papers over to Superintendent Men

the Utah Light & Railway company,
who said that work of putting IN the
additional nrc lights along the route
indicated would begin tomorrow. All
the necessary supplies were here, he
said, and there is now nothing to him

since the property owners are signed,
In the different blocks the lighting
will vary slightly, according to the
amounts subscribed by property own

from Third Sonth street.
AS at present arranged. the White

this point il will run east to Fifth East
street in q straight line. At Third
South street another section Will branch
off down State 10 Ninth South. the low

Another section is in contemplation
and will undoubtedly be installed. That
is to run east from Third West street,
where the Oregon Short Line and Salt
Lake Route union passenger station is
located, along South Temple street to
State. A movement is on foot to have
this section continue from this point
down State to Third South, there ,;oin,

lighting Of South Temple street from
