" Tne couple were married December 13, 189$, and without dwelling on the painful circumstances, as having anything any-thing to do with the fact of the unlucky un-lucky date of the marriage, the history his-tory recited is one of repeated acts of brutality on the part of the husband hus-band who Is alleged to have been an habitual drunkard during the past ten years, during which time there appears never to have been one dull moment with something doing ail the lime.

While there are . constitutional constitu-tional and statute requirements that property shall be listed at Ha "fulK cash value"' and that value Is defined to mean "the amount at which the property would be taken In payment -of a just debt due from a solvent debt-or," debt-or," even more emphasis Is made by Isw Jtipon the n equalization of taxes- as between' Individuals and also the deduction. of debts from credits state and county levey of fourteen and -ons-hslf mills, levlss fsr-ether purposes yarying to meet the de -mends of the various districts within stout one third of the real valuation. also an. exceptionally liberal home stead exemption and a provision for the deduction of debts from credit making the ralation of the home builder build-er or Invsstor and the community at targe quite satisfactory. Boards Must "Adjust" ' In Utah, as in other states, the question of taxation 1s of a somewhat complicated nature, rather poorly outlined, out-lined, by statute but In practical application appli-cation much.nre f&vo ruble ttan In mo.- l tbw neighboring stm TL" system In use Is one developed by the ' stale board of equalization of whom the requirement Is made to "adjust real and personal property among -counties," after receiving very conv ty boards of equalization who mast "adjust real and personal property within the county." Tbe result la a fair distribution of burdens of taxation taxa-tion and all things considered a very light draf upon the taxpayer. . . Public tervice Corporations. The property of all public service corporations is assessed by the state board of equalization and apportioned to the various counties and districts, tbe valaationa of railroad, telegraph, telephone and other such property being be-ing upon the basis which obtains gen erally throughout the western states. Personal-Property. x Personal property live stock, etc, are listed at valuatiops higher la proportion than any other class, yet the homestead exemption of I1WH, with an additional exemption of $0 for the alfe and I2S0 for each other member of the family la a safeguard against any Inequality In tbia matter. Fruit and Farm Lands. Considering the price per acre at which real estate Is valued la every day transactions in Utah county, tbe assessed' valuation is extremely low. Fruit lands, sugar beet lands, etc. range In value from $20 to f 400. frequently fre-quently aa exchange being made at aa even higher fgure than the last named, yet for . tax purposes thee Lands are listed from 42S to 1 10 aa acre, ordinary farm laads roaoiag about 29.
