But, if he objects, it will be only to learn that it is too late to do anything any-thing about it. But perhaps before this, late in July, he may have urged the local officials to reduce their levies, only to find that more than half the current taxes have already been spent, and the remainder, in all probility has been already obligated. Is the situation then hopeless. Ia it entirely beyond the power of the taxpayer to regulate On the contrary, it is within his control. Furthermore, ample opportunity oppor-tunity is given, every taxpayer to assist in fixing the amount of taxes to be paid in his community. Of course, the law does not permit the individual taxpayer to fix the amount of his own taxes to the ex tent of compelling others to pay the taxes he should pay; . nor does it allow an Individual to escape the payment of a tax duly levied, the benefits of which he has already enjoyed. Just as the law does not permit an individual to buy goods on credit and then to escape payment pay-ment after the goods are consumed. But the law does give the inlividual opportunity to Join with, others in determining in advance the amoun of taxes to be paid in his commur.-- ty. This is one of the fundamantals that must be understood if the taxpayer tax-payer is to exercise effective voice in control of his tax levy. The next article in this series will deal with a brief analysis of the property taxes in your county for the current year.

Biographical Sketch of the Life of My Father John Brown by Mrs. Emma Brown Lott, his daughter. My father, John Brown was born in Hunterfield Scotland, February 15, 1849. He was the seventh child of a family of ten children. His father and mother were John Brown, Sr., and Mary Young Brown. At the age of seven years he began be-gan his school career which only lasted about two and a half years. In Scotland, all boys at the age of ten were allowed to work In the coal mines. My father, being the oldest boy in the family, through the efforts of his father, was able to secure employment in the mines at the age of nine and a half vears. They worked long hours and part of the year they never saw daylight, going into the mines early in the morning long before sunrise and coming out again after dark. At the age of eight he was bapt ized into the L. D. S. Church by his father and confirmed by John Smith the President of the Branch in Hunterfield Scotland. He worked In the mines until the was fourteen years of age when he with his family left Scotland for America. They left in the year 1863. They yere nine weeks on the ocean and a very happy family to land In New York after this long voyage. They traveled on the train frem New York to St Josepk, Missouri, and then traveled In a boat up the Missouri River to Omaha. On their voyage up the river the water was so shallow that it was vent necessary for them at times to walk along the bank until they encountered deeper water. They remained in Omaha for one week preparing for the Journey across the plains. He came with the Fillmore Train with Samuel White as captain, and he walked the entire distance across the plains. It was the last train that came , that year. After traveling for three or four days there was a very bad electric storm, an independent in-dependent freighter who was traveling with this company was stunned and four out of ten of his oxen were killed by the lightning. This was not considered a total loss as the company was in need of meat so they had fresh beef from the oxen that were killed. Several bands of Indians were met by them on the Journey but " they were peaceable and caused ' them no trouble. They arrived in Salt Lake City, Utah, the 6th day of October, 1863, remaining there that night, leaving the following morning morn-ing for Fillmore, Utah. Upon reaching Lehi they were so worn out, and the weather was so cold, they decided to stop at Lehi, and Bishop " David Evans ,1 furnished them a home to live In. Father, being the oldest son, secured se-cured work from a man by the name of William Sparks. They spent the first two days getting a load of brush, and received for the first two days work one quart of molasses. He also worked that fall on the threshing machine and received re-ceived wheat for his pay, which helped the family out during the first winter. During the winter months he worked for Samuel Mulliner doing chores for his board. He stayed with Mr. Mulliner the nextyear and reecived for that year's work $150, very little of It money, most of it being flour, as Mr. Mulliner was a miller. His next work consisted of six months of farm work for Samuel Wagstaff. At the age of seventeen years, he acted as home guard during the Black Hawk War. During the time they were building the railroad from Echo Canyon through Weber Canyon to Ogden, he secured employment em-ployment with the railroad , company. com-pany. At the age of twenty years my father went to Ruby .Valley, Nevada, and freighted by ox team from Ruby Valley to White Pine. He worked at this for eight years, returning to Lehi at the end of that time. The following spring, March 3, 1878, he married Juliet Austin. To this union twelve children were born, ten sons and two daughters, ten of whom are surviving, namely John Brown, Jr., of Benjamin, Utah; J. Hector Brown of Grand Junction, Colorado; Ruby Brown Taylor, Idaho Falls, Idaho; Emma Brown Lott, Lehi, Utah; Michael Brown, Idaho Falls, Idaho; Alex Brown, Seattle, Washington; Darrel Brown, Payson, Utah; Den-zil Den-zil Brown, Provo, Utah; Eldon Brown, Lehi, Utah; Lowell Brown, lehi, Utah; also surviving are thirty'-nine grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren Father owned a ten-yoke ox team which he sold and built a home, and it was in this home, which still stands, that ail their children were born. At the time the Utah -Idaho Sugar Company erected the factory at Lehi, Utah, my father was the first man to break the soil for the erection of same, by taking the first scraperful of dirt from the factory site, being an early pro-motor pro-motor at the sugar Industry Jn Utah and Colorado. Father was ordained an Elder, also a High Priest in the priest hood which he held. After the Lehi wards were divided he became a teacher of the parents' class, for many years continuing his work in thatcapacity. Father has always tried to do hl3 duty and do all he was called upon to do. He has been a good tithe payer and a generous donator to the poor and needy and also to the missionary cause, send ing two sons on missions. Alex went to the Cenral States mission for a period of twenty-six months and Lowell went to Australia for the same length of time. His occupation was that of a stockraiser and farmer, and he did much toward building up and cultivating cul-tivating the land In and around Lehi. He also acted as field manager man-ager for the Great Western Sugar Company in Colorado for a period of three years. Father always displayed a very even-tempered and a wonderful disposition, very seldom getting vexed over trifling matters. He was a good and generous provider for his family. Father passed away peaceably Sunday, at 2:35 p. m- November 15, 1931. at his home in Lehi. Utah. His devoted wife and children were at his bedside at the time of his passing, she having constantly and Hr!r,r!v cared for him during his Illness. He died at the age of eighty-two years and nine months having lived a very full and faithful life.

He married Margaret Hammer in 1885. They left for Idaho soon afterwards, after-wards, where they lived until 1903. During that time they holmsteaded land in Lincoln, Idaho.
