precluded the possibility Of the present
Board of Equalization, under the chair
manship of Governor Davis, from pen
alizing now. This is legal question.
But the 1919 board raised the yalua.
ton of the company from $2S per mile
to $50 per mile.
The Alexander administration placed
valuation of $1,S40,776 on the prop
erty while the Davis board of equaliza-
ton placed the value at $4,OSO,OOO
These are the figures that are now
available to answer the walls of the
Observation-Disclosures press in the
state.
In recent editorials these papers
have said that the agricultural lands
are standing the brunt of raised as.
sessments and that utilities are being
protected. On the face of it the charge
is falsehood.
Another item raised by the last board
of Equalization was the number of
wire miles which were increased per-
ceptibly.
The efforts on the part of opposition
papers to attempt to discredit the
present state administration by crying
that agricultural lands have been large
ly increased in assessment while util-
tiles have been decreased is an at
tempt to bunko the public. A number
of democratic-nonpartisan papers in
the state have published the misin
formation that the Utah Light & Power
Company has been taxed at a very low

washington, May 2-There is a
steadily strengthening belief among
some of the statesmen on Capitol
HILL Democrats as we'll as Fepubli-
cans. that President Wilson expects
TO be a candidate for "A third term.
1t is this belief which is inducing
the Republican senators OF strong IN
fuence in the party's councils to pro-
coed cautiously before committing the
party definitely against the revised
covenant of the league of nations
They are debating whether it would
not be better politics to go before the
country claiming the credit for the
amendments to the covenant which
protect Americas interests than TO
put themselves and the party on
record as being irreconcilahly opposed
to ratification.
H., II they Jake a, positive stand
against the covenant. then they will
make ii the supreme political issue
II. despite their opposition, President
Wilson should be able to exert
enough influence to bring about rati-
acation. his personal triumph would
be great In that event If he were
willing. his nomination by the Demo-
Gratis hardly could be prevented.
On the other hand. II the treaty
Win the league OIL nations covenant
should be defeated in the senate, the
Democrats would make it's defeat the
issue of the campaign. and either
with Wilson as the candidate, or with
another candidate, the standing OF
the party would be greatly strength
ened.
