OU had to pay pa the I I general tax levy leY in addition And if you are a business lS man you have hae paid I in addition to all this a special license or impost which amounts in the aggregate this year to The Tribune party in the tho past two wo years ears has collected from business busin men more than was ever collected before in any an like period That runs the total for which the Tribune

protecting just now and got get defrauded of at 50 60 O or you know where that money went dot dont it you You know kaow who got t it and if you ou are wise you ou can probably figure out later how hw he got it And you prefer that gambling game to the system that is being used against you each cacti year when you ou pay your our city taxes And dont clont be misled by b the drivel printed daily in the Tribune party organ that these three millions in five 1 C years have gone for city improvements It did not That is a falsehood You Yon can easily easil learn loam it is is a n falsehood by going

about the high cost of living liviu It is too high One I Iway way to reduce it in Salt Lake would be bo to have an honest administration of city affairs One way to increase inore e it in Salt Lake county be bo to extend that sort of a system to tho the county Do the taxpayers of Salt Lake county c un y want w nt to place this county under tao tto rule of an outfit that has stolen three millions of dollars from tho the people in five years We dont ont believe they do doThe doThe The Tue rank and file of the H party has bas had bad no share in this looting faly Y of them have blindly followed leaders leador who ranged themselves under t American of which we are arc all proud It sounds like Old it iL has made soine som sonie of the blind followers of the inner circle feel like we all aU feel when the band plays plas The Banner the Declaration of Independence is read rena and patriotism is in the air No the looting has bas been done by the inner circle that controls the Tribune Tribuna party And their support will fall away like lile leaves in autumn when the people learn that they are being swindled and in the tho th most bare barefaced barefaced barefaced faced manner If
