R havesaid Phxman:-Sqm- e that the Delinquent Tax List for 1913 is the largest ever publish ed in Juab County. The list this year in comparison with 1912 is about one fourth column less, but the amount in dollars and cents of about 25 per cent more year than last, which is due to a number of targe corporations letting their taxes go delinquent. The percentage of the total taxes collected to December 1st, 1912 was 81J par cent while for 1913 it was 80J per cent being a difference of li per cent in favor of 1912. The total taxes levied this year is nearly 60000.00 more than last, which accounts for the delinquency being larger while the percentage of collect ions is practically the same. The increase in amount of taxes lev ied is due to the State Road Tax and larger assessments against the mines in the Tintic Districts. The delinquency in the East side of the County is practically the same as lact year. Earl Jackman:-Jua- b County has an assessable valuation of 6.343,124, and a tax e v y of $237,682 79 for State, County, School and Municipal purposes. The levy ranges from 22.5 mills in Mona to 48.5 mills in Eureka. The corporations, of this county, of the taxpay over three-fifth- s es. The average taxpayer pays a tax of $40 a year. The average family has three children of the school age. The amount of money, spent in Juab county per 1912, was pupil, for the the average $27.56; therefore, taxpayers doesn't pay half thp amount of money it t a k e s to school his children, say nothing of the benefits, of all the improv ments, schools and the protection of life and property, under the best government in the world.

I wish to express my gratifica tion at reading the experience ol a "Bar Tender" which appeared in a recent number of the Amer ican. It gives one a new point of view of the liquor traffic and incidentally helps to dispel the illusion that there are no honor able men in the business. I do not desire to be personal, I do not seek any notoriety, but 1 could write of some things in my experience of twenty years in the liquor business that would be fully as remarkable us those of our unknown friend.

Moreover, I never accepted a from a customer, and to refuse a drink is a form of attempted suicide, you know. Also, I can truthfully say, with a good deal of satisfaction, that I never drank a glass of liquor in my life. Further, I was instrumental in breaking several hard drinkers of the habit. I was afraid of liquor all the time. One thing more: It is generally believed, and not without some a show of justification, of seller's out whiskey boys charity, the girls are not mentionedare bound straight fot hell.
