At th ' November election. At the present time the county, clerk is acting auditor and a deputy is kept on the force to assist in the special work of an auditor.

The proposed county automobile show and parade, to he promoted if possible in conjunction with the Utah County Jersey show and Spring Exhibit -- of the Agricultural Department of the B. Y. U.f should not be allowed to fall through for lack of support of those who would be most directly benefited. x The secretary of the' Industrial committee, under whose management a number of successful public affairs have been pro-moted, informs us that while a great number of those to whom - requesting y- - rejdy Hfxm anen- .he closed and stamped envelope, have answered in. the affirmative, but as the amount asked for m order to prop,; erly promote the affair was very small as applied to each individual and concern, he has not yet secured sufficient axsur- -' ance; of support to justify hhnin attempting to put the thing over the way it sjliohj be. As an affair of this nature promoted in Accordance .with the plans proposed, would undoubtedly number to and would also have of a town, people bring large a tendency to create a rather general idea that Provo was up and coming, its to be hoped that nothing in the way of trifling financial support will be permitted to mitigate against the final success oftbist contemplated undertaking. , e Assessor U. County Hyrum Christensen reported today on valuation of Utah county! through his oiuce showing that the grand tal for property assessed through that office will reach $28,690,910. This amount is divided, real estate, $10,746,380; improvements on city lots, $4,705,673; Improvements on real estate, $2,468,120; personal property, $7,629,6501 The assessment to be levied by the state board of equalization will increase the valuation of the county approximately which will be sn increase of two and three tenths times the valuation of a year ago. The new system of taxing for this county has been carried through by Mr. Christensen and his deputies With very little trouble and every piece of property in the county has been visited and checked before tthe valuation was made. The cash valuation system will result in slightly reducing the taxes of the county in some cases where general,, but-iproperty was valued too low in the past the taxes will be raised slightly. Members of the state auditors office and the state board of equalization report that the assessors office in this county ranks highest In the entire state for efficiency of service and praise Mr. Christensen highly for the conduct of his office. His close application to work has been responsible for the excellent condi tion oft the county assessment rolls. 0, p n U Hb y j ;y ' & $ 3 cora-'pet- 1 v x seml-profe- f ..V "V A mule on Provo Bench contracted hemiplegia, which means paralysis of the vocal chords, some time last autumn after he bad been sold to Samuel Green, a resident of the Miss M .Carey Thomas, President of Bench, and At -- was found that' he 1 - Bryn Mawr -could neither sing, , work or run , and following an illness of about 'a .

Who are They, Herald? 99 The Provo Herald has charged the church, the fed-- , bunch and the standpat Republicans with attempt- -' eral , ing to oust Principal Arch M, Thurman from the Provo High school. ,The paper attempted to say that because of Mr. Thurmans instructions on evolution and the modern sciences the church is attempting to get him out of the High school. The charges were evidently hatched in the office of the Provo Herald and show a decided lack of information relative to the local High school situation. It is not easy to tell just who that paper means by the church but The Post will challenge either the Herald or its informant to present Saint leaders who the names of any prominent Latter-da- y are fighting Mr. Thurman as principal of the High school or for any doctrine in evolution or modern sciences he ,has advanced. It is not clear who is meant by the federal as the federal bun.ch of Utah consists of Presibunch, dent Wilsons appointees, including V. ,V. Ray, Heber C. ' Jex, Aquil Nebeker and other members of the Democratic ' party, all cf whom we believe are friends of Mr. Thurman, - and we know of no federal appointee in this city Wjio js fighting Mr. Thurman, and we know of no federal appointee in this city whaW fighting our local High school principal. It is also hard to tell what is meant by standpat Republicans. If Tbe Post is referred to as a member of the standpat organization,1 the Herald is decidedly wrong, as the directors of this paper hbld a very high regard for Mr. Thurman and although reserving the right to boldly criticise any error we may feel he has made or may make, we believe Mr. Thur-ma- d to be one of the best High school men in Utah, andwill support him in his position as long as he maintains the present high standard of work hehas attained. This paper has asked for an investigation into the condition of our High school and public schools and we believe ' that Mr. Thurman will welcome such an investigation as readily as any Wmber of the board of education or th?' ' teaching force. -- r 1 CONVENE r Members of the precinct coautt tee and delegates to the State tmM the court house Wednesday mgnt 9m complete arrangements" for ftakfes care of the delegates who will 'amm to Provo to the big eonvenfisa.
