BE SURE TO MEET PAYMENTS
Failure May Mean Forfeiture of
Valuable Holdings

Did you pay your taxes before
Jan. s?
If you did not, you do not own
any property.
The reason for this is that under
the new law, upon your failure to
pay upon that date, it becomes the
duty of the tax collector to report
such failure to the county recorder,
whereupon, forthwith and without
any further procedure, the proper
ty becomes the property Of the
county, says the Boise News.
7. ere is no notice of sale,
simply because there is no sale
made. Heretofore, six months
have been allowed with penalties
attached, before transfer of title
to property because of failure to
pay taxes becomes forfeited.
During that six months any tax
payer might appear, pay the taxes
together with penalties and the
property would not even be adver-
tised for sale, much less sold, but
now failure to pay acts automati-
cally to transfer title from the
former owner to the county, with
out opportunity to pay before such
transfer, without notice of any
kind and without sale.
Chance for Tax Sharks
Moreover, if, after such transfer
to the county by automatic action
of law, any citizen should ascertain
that the tax has not been paid and
he should regard the purchase as
a desirable one, he can appear be-
fore the recorder and demand an
auditor S certificate which transfers
the property to him. Then if the
former owner shall desire to re-
deem it and get it back, he must
pay a 10 per cent penalty and then
on top of that he must pay interest
at the rate of Is per cent and must
also pay 81 for his certificate.
There will be no delinquent
property advertised for sale at any
time. The tax sharks will simply
go to the recorders Office, inspect
the list, and demand certificate for
that which they regard as offering
a good investment at 10 per cent
upon their outlay, and the auditor
cannot refuse, neither can he de-
mand that only small portion of
any tract be taken as sufficient to
secure the payment of the whole
but he must transfer the whole
property to the tax shark.
Many Fail to Pay
1t has been ascertained that
many taxpayers, being unable to
raise the money with which to pay
their taxes, decided they would
prefer to pay the penalty, which
they believed would be a per cent,
in July. The 4 per cent penalty,
however, applies only to the sec
ond payment when the first pay
ment has been made. If first pay
ment was not met the county auto
matically, by operation of law, be-
comes the purchaser of the proper
ty, but is forced to transfer its
rights to the tax sharks upon de-
mand and the tax sharks get the
benefit of the 10 per cent penalty.
This has left many heavy taxpayers
in bad predicament, it is asserted
How many have failed to make
first payment and thus protect
themselves, will not be known for
three or four days yet, as the
county treasurer has been too busy
sending out receipts for money

BRYAN IS ORATOR At
BANQUET AT Topeka
Secretary of State Talks Of
the "New Era'' to the Kan
sas Democrats.

TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. 5.--William j.
Bryan, secretary Of state, was the
principal speaker at a Democratic state
banquet Here tonight. His topic was
the 'New Era. -
Secretary Bryan called attention to
remark credited to j. p. Morgan
when the question of dissolyiug large
corporations was agitated a few years
ago, when Mr.. Morgan asked:
"Can YOU unscramble eggs! y 1t
was Mr. Morgan firm, the secretary
said, that took the first steps toward
actually unscrambling the eggs by
the action taken three days ago, when
Morgan directors withdrew from
twenty-seven corporations.
Referring to Mr., Morgan s statement
that conditions were now favorable
to carry out the ideas which we have
had in mind for some time, Mr..
Bryan said the president was the man
to thank for squirting the big business
men into carrying out the ideas they
had had in mind.
1.-The next stage In this new era is
to carry out the antitrust law, Mr,
Bryan Sald. Inc president mas Dcen
so busy with the work that has just
been completed that he has not yet
formulated the details Of this move
ment, But | have heard him say a
private monopoly is indefensible and
intolerablc. The president s use Of
English is so concise and accurate that
7 feel justified in saying that if it is
indefcnsiblc he will not defend it. and
it is int0lerable he will not tolerate
it."
Mr. Bryan called attention to the
fact that the country had adjusted it
self without excitement or commotion
TO the income tax law even men with
large incomes having in many eases eX-
pressed approval of the tax. OF the
currency bill he said:
1.-THE advantages conferred upon the
banks are greater than those conferred
by any former law. and yet these ad-
vantagcs were conferred under restric-
tions and limitations that protect the
public. The law recognizes the SOW
ercign right of the government to is,
sue money and the right OF the people
to control, through public officials, the
exercise of the banking privilege

Beneficial to Utah.

1t is reported that the 200 miles of
railroad mentioned in the Washington
dispatch is 225-mile route from
Marysvale, the present southern Utah
terminus Of the Denver & Rio Grande,
to Bright Angel s point, on the north
rim of the Grand canyon. This route
would follow the Sewer river to
Panguitch, then over the divide and
down through the forest to the north
rim of the canyon.
That this would mean historical
period Of development for southern
Utah all along through the valley of
the Sewer, down through Panguitch,
kanab and the other small settlements
in southern Utah. is generally ad-
mitted. The project has been CON
sidered for some time as merely rail
road project. But the lack of freight
and passenger business in that section
to pay for construction and maiuten.
ance has been stumbling block
With such vast amount of valuable
timber to carry away the railroad
would be easily a paying venture and
new industrial era would be born in
the long isolated and immensely rich
sections of southern Utah.
