Uniform BooI<k coping.
Coming to the uniform system OF ac-
counting, Speaker Byrd said he could
not agree with the opposition. which
protested against q central authority
20 require local collecting and disburs-
Ing officers TO keep sets of books by
rule. The money. ne said, belongs to
the State and not To the county treas
urers and the principal of u big bust
ness enterprise has the right to de-
mand of his agents that they handle
his affairs in an ineligible way. But
he was not hunting enemies for his
bill. and lii order not TO antagonize
others he had made the uniform book
keeping optional with counties and
cities.
The Inequalities of taxation, he said,
are well known. Influential men in
some communities have their prop
erty assessed at one-half the value
given that of others. Above every
thing else which this bill was design
ed TO accomplish, IT was TO give the
moral support necessary to the COM
missioner of the revenue to resist the
influences which ne mas to face .'since
the weaknesses of human nature are
often overcome by the strength OF the
sons OF Belial."
Method of Election.
Daniel Colcmaii inquired if tho
Speaker would agree to have the mem
bers of the Tax Commission elected by
the General Assembly. lie replied
that that would be hardly practicable
SO late in the session, since IL would
destroy thu fabric of tho bill, which
is based upon the supposition that two
men already officers shall become
members. There was some debate
here with Mr.. Oliver. who said he had
hoped to be able TO vote for the bill,
but Indicated that he did not like the
method Of choosing the commissioners.
Hill Montague agreed that It is now
late to attempt to collect three men
to act upon the commission. He had
been copatron with 41r oliver on the
bill to have three commissioners elect

OF pork products a day for each one
of their employees, which would
mean that for each employee ON the
sheep ranches, it would require over
four averaged sized hogs annually. In
addition to u local demands, for
which we pay the highest prices, we
have to the west of us a number OF
large cities, particularly Spokane and
Portland, where large packing plants
have been established, and FOR which
they have found 1t necessary to go to
Kansas and Nebraska for their hogs;
which they secur in large numbers
each month, paying the freight in ad-
dition to the market prices in order
to get their supplies. These markets
belong to u people. 1t has been
learned through the railroad agen-
cies, that to supply the markets west
OF the Rocky mountains 1t required,
in 1910, approximately $18,0O0,00O
worth of meat products shipped from
the eastern markets. The larger bulk
of this, perhaps, 80 per cent, con-
sisted Of pork products. Surely.
then, we have for many years to
come one of the best unlimited mar
kets In the country. With all posi-
BILE things in our favor, it is not too
much to hope that this intermoun-
tain country will soon become one of
the greatest pork producing centers
in America, and such it is destined
to become as o 20 as our farmers
avail themselves of the advantages
presented to them for pork produc-
ton.

the hog is heir as is this intermoun-

bright and strong, and the. atmos-

germ diseases have a poor chance for
development.
AS to the last and most important
factor, which is the demand, or the
m,rkets, we have, every evidence that
in this respect this section Of the
United Stat S is at the present time
particularly favored.
The, last census report for 1910
gave Utah a population of 373,351
people. The same census gave Titan
a total of 64,244 hogs, including
young pigs, or a trifle over one hog
for every five and one-half persons on
the average, and this would require
that every hog in the state would
have to be slaughtered during the
year; whereas a large percentage of
them are kept over for breeding

that these two states do not in them
produce nearly enough pork
