will be left without much coal to
start in the cold weather with. Last
season at this time the NJ. & L. Coal
company had about 400 tons in their
yards. The Lion Coal company had
about 900 tons in their yard. At the
present time neither yard has much
coal on hand. The situation begins
to look serious from the point Of view
Of the coal dealer. Some action
should be taken by the Commercial
club In respect to this all-lmportant
question. Perhaps miners could be
sent to the mines and assist in get
ting coal for this locality.

Pay attention to the discipline Of

cause mischief which can be repaired
only by six months of incessant care.
1t Is not by placing your forces every

This manner Of dispensing the army Is
fatal to discipline and order.-Napo-

Salt Lake, Sept. Ex-Governor
Bamberger yesterday asked county
taxation officers throughout the state
to consider the advisability of abat-
ing or RENTING taxes on homes or
other properties owned by soldiers
or those wholly or in part depend
ent upon soldiers. The extension Of
this measure of generous considera-
ton in recognition of sacrifices made
was urged in case of every Utahn

Used with the regular army or the
national guard or was called in the
draft. The governor declared that
such action will greatly lessen the
hardships occasioned by the demands
of the country during the war.
Under the state law the county
commissioners have the power of re-
hitting taxes. 1t is specified that this
power is to be used discreetly and
only for valid reasons. The only
particular class named as benefici-
aries under the authority given is
the poor and INDECENT" but there
is nothing in the letter of the law that
can be construed as antagonistic to
its inclusion of other classes. The
matter of remission rests in the dis
erection Of the commissioners, and is
limited only by the principles of rea-
sonableness and validity of cause.
There is said to be no doubt but
that the county authorities will
gladly accede to the governors
strongly intimated wish. especially in
view Of the fact that the action asked
merely involves q somewhat fuller
exercise than has been customary of
emergency powers they have always
possessed under the state law.
Many soldiers and women who are
buying or have bought homes will be
relieved from financial pressure and
Threatened loss, II is laid, If the
benevolent designs of the governor
are carried out. The federal gov

ruling protecting persons who have
made entry on mining claims or
other lands. Such entrants who are
serving the flag are credited with
periods OF residence, and are only
required to be in actual personal pos
