STATE LEVY NOT INCREASED.

In view of the excess Of the appro,
priations made at the late session of
the Utah legislature over the estimated
State revenue and the prospective de-

assumed that il would be necessary TO
increase the State levy by half q mill,

the levy up TO the constitutional limit

JEWS IN RUMANIA.

The resolution introduced into the
Senate Wednesday by Senator Pen
rose of Pennsylvania with regard to
the treatment of Jews in Rumania, is
timely in more ways than one; for,
first of all, it is always timely for the
United States to continue good work
which it has begun, and in the Roose-
welt administration it begun protesta-
tions against the oppressive treatment
of the Jews in Rumania. And second,
it is always becoming in the great re-
public to speak up for the rights of
mankind
The Congress of Berlin in 1878 set
Balkan states. 1t enjoined upon Tur-
key, and Turkey agreed to carry out
the stipulation, that the ravages com
mon in Thrace and Macedonia and dis
examinations against Christians as such
should cease; but this stipulation
was absolutely disregarded by Turkey.
At the same time Rumania agreed that
1t would make no discrimination in the
matter Of citizenship on the lines
of religion; but Rumania, like Turkey,
has entirely disregarded that stipula
ton; and while Rumania might reply
to any remonstrance on this score by
the United States that since we were
NO party to the Berlin Congress we
have nothing to say about the agree
ment and stipulation arrived at there
in, and should attend to our own busi-
ness, the fact is that during the ad-
minstration of President Roosevelt,
Rumania made certain pledges to the
United States with regard to the bet"
ter treatment of the Jews. These
agreements have also been disre-
garded.
The resolution of Senator Penrose is
timely also as second to the move.
ment under way in New York to raise
fund TO help the Jews in Rumania
in claiming the rights OF citizenship
there. The Jews, in common with the
other inha bitants of Rumania, are sub

are forced into the army, and all tasks
incumbent upon citizenship are duly
exacted from them. and still they are
not allowed the privileges Of citizen.

accounts, in the right. and altogether

GEN. SHERIDAN'S MISSION,

In view of the situation in Mexico
and of the uncertainty OF reports that
come from that country, and consider
ing the best means of information that
the President could have in ascertain
ing the realities of the case from a
military and general point Of view, the
Army and Navy Journal points out to
President Wilson his neglect of the
great source which it has in mind. II
recalls that when Grover Cleveland was
President of the United States, he ex-
planned 10 the editor Of the Army and
Navy Journal in a personal converse

he made his report President Cleveland
said: '"Ou the accuracy of that re-
port I was so absolutely certain that

the situation as clearly as if I had been

The lesson of this is turned 10 the

Navy Journal, with whom that conver.

present uncertainty as 10 the Mexican

Gen. Sheridan is no longer with us,

erence to the grape juice tendencies Of
Secretary Bryan.
The L. S. government supplied TO
DR., Muller and his party in this coun-
try special Pullman car, which was
used by them for their three weeks
tour in the Eastern parts Of the United
States. This car was stocked with the
choicest wines; and yet, through the
delicate courtesy OF DR.. Muller's party,
not bottle OF that wine was opened
while the Brazilian party had the car.
II is certain that DIR. Muller and his
attaches were accustomed 10 the use
of wine, especially at their meals; but,
as it is said. Diplomacy sometimes
calls for sacrifices Accordingly. DR..
Muller's party did without wine, as.
suming that the United States would
appreciate the compliment, and that
abstentarion, in view of the practice
Of its Secretary of State, in spite OF
the lavish provision made in furnish
ing wines for that party IN the Pull
man car, would be appreciated. 1t was
indeed a courtesy that ought to be,
and no doubt will be, appreciated not
only by the administration officials, but
by other people of the United States,
The abstentation might be considered
TO be slight upon the courtesy of the
government in supplying the wines,
but not so, for in this case the courtesy
was certainly very evident, and it

This is reduction of .465 mill; but
since the raise in values has been lnrge
the actual burden of taxation this year
will be greater than last. But though
the county reduced its tax levy By
1865 mill. the revenue Of the county
will be greater than it was last year
because of the increased valuation. and
every taxpayer will pay more on his
property on county account than he did
in 1912 Since the revenues Of the
county were so great last year that the
commissioners did not know what to
do with the money received except TO
waste it in the construction of n use

year than they had last. \ county tax

have been ample for all proper county
purposes the present year.
The city school tax rate is reduced
this year, as compared with last, one
tenth of mill, but as in the case Of
the county, and for the same reason,
the revenue will be greater. All other
rates remain as before. and on every
account there will be more taxes paid
this year than last. Even where there is
n reduction in the rate of tax levy, the
increased valuation will moro than make
up the amount of taxes to be paid.
This is not satisfactory condition

There have been large pro-
testations Of intent to reduce tax bur

put forward, supported by pointing to
the reduction in rate Of tax levy. But
when one analyzes the figures in ev-

den is in fact increased and not de-
creased; but as the taxpayers had been
led to expect a decrease their disap-

by our vessels was only 3ia, with the
large guns firing about once in FIVE

But since that time there have been
competitions as to craftsmanship with
the big guns, this competition being
shared by all the battleships. The per

being ten times as many bits per
