Spencer, general passenger agent of the Union "Pacific . system. Tne appointment oi Mr. spencer was made by Alfred Cummlng, who succeeded Brigham Young, first gov ernor of the Territory or Utah, in the governorship, and was approved by the legislature of ths territory. The certificate reads: "Know ye, that Claudius V. Spencer, having been nominated by the governor, and elected by the Joint vote of the legislative assembly to the office of regent of the University of the State of Deseret, the county in sa,id territory, of Alfred Cummlng, governor of said territory, for and on behalf of the people of said territory, do commission him regent of the University of the State of Deseret in said terri tory of Utah and authorize and empower him to execute and fulfil the duties of that office according to law "To have and to hold the said office, with all the rights and emoluments thereunto legally appertaining for the term of one year from and after the thirteenth day of January, A. D. 1859, unless sooner removed by the governor, or until his successor shall be duly appointed and qualified to that office." "While there may be other similar documents In existence of as early a dat, this Is the oldest yet to Professor come to my attention," Young said. "Since the University was founded of the State of Deseret In 1850. regents have been named, but certificates of the early appointments, other than this one, have not been made public in recent years." The institution was called the University of the State of Deseret until 1893. at the close of the administration of Dr. John R. Park, known as "the father of the University of Utah," as president At that time it was renamed the University of Utah. Professor Young said the certificate would be suitably framed and hung among the relics at the museum of early days of the university. i Auditors'1 Reports From Three Counties Lacking All but three county auditors have made their first reports on the rolls of assessed property to the state board of equalization and assessment, it was reported Thursday by Miss Sybil Hopkins, secretary. These counties are Piute, Rich and Ban Juan, she said. The state board Is doing preliminary work on the reports submitted, but is anxious that all reports be in immediately, so it may determine equalization of assessments between counties. Miss Hopkins said. was Indicated Thursday by E. A. West, general manager of the Utah Lipht and Traction company. Following hearing by the public utilities commission on the com pany's proposal to discontinue ser vice on the' line because of contem plated paving from Seventeenth South on Flf 8outh to Twenty-firteenth East streets, Mr. West an nounced that it had been the com pany's intention to substitute bus service on the line within the next few years, as the company Is moving to that end oh numerous lines. It was the wish of the company to tear up tracks on the proposed improvement section before paving is done, as it would be more expensive to remove the tracks after paving had been finished and it would leave the street in poor condition, said Mr, West. Once the tracks are out and the paving put in, the street would be in condition for bus service, he explained. The commission agreed to con tlnue action on the company's application indefinitely so arrange ments can be made between city or ficials and the traction company as to how plans will move iorward. In the meantime, present service v. ill continue, said Mr. West st . Showers Drench S.

Rice expressed satisfaction with the findings embodied in the report and stated that he woum proceen, ; with the ouster actions in a special ' capacity as attorney for the city.

"This has been myl object from the beginning." reiterated Auditor Keddlngton Thursday his desire for a speedy in vestigation, declaring he was anxious to vindicate himself. The special auditors report on Keddington's office charges that financial reports for 1925, 1926, 1927 and 1923. submitted by Keddlngton to the city commission, were false and inaccurate, that he had failed for several yer.rs past to keep a check on the actual receipts ana bank statements cf the city treasury, and that, in the opinion of the special 000 and $200 I O Us auditors. th or pin sins," found among Beaver s personal ef tests after his death, bare w the bon fid handwriting and signa.. ture of Outrtmding points alleged m the special a"ditors' report include: 1 Kedd'n'tfon had been paid In full for e'l sprvlces rendered durirs his tims in office up to February 28, m 1929, an1 thereloVe the amounts rep- resented by the I O U's were in excess of any salary due him.

Consideration of whether everjf adult resident of Utah should pay aome part of governmental costs, and of how such universality In taxation might be accomplished, provided noma of the topics for discussion Thursday in the meeting of the state tax revision commission. Members of the special legislative committee on taxation were present. An income tax and a small per cap-- ; Ha tax were considered as means to this end, should it In final analysis be found desirable. Practically all present expressed themselves as favoring some form of Income tax in the recommendations to be made by the tax revision commission to the Some, however, raised legislature. objections to a per capita tax on of difficulty of administraground tion. Arguments as to whether an Income tax would better serve its purpose without exemptions, or whether an Income tax with stipulated exemptions, but with a minimum levy of $5 would be more acceptable, were presented. Still another plan, that of a per capita tax of 15 and a graduated scale of exemptions for other personal Income levies, received support. Postpone Official Action Until After Session. Official action on the adoption of a plan from among those suggested so far, which the commission might use as a framework on which to build up Its proposed Utah system of taxation, was postponed until after Friday's session. It was learned that the plan of the Utah Realty association would be presented Friday morning, and that of the Utah State Farm bureau would be ready for presentation In the afternoon. The plan of the Utah Taxpayers' association, it was said later In the day, probably will not be ready Friday. Elimination of the clause In the Snow plan, submitted by the chairman of the state board of equalization, which provides that corporations might 'offset the Income tax they pay up to 80 per cent on their personal property tax, was one of the suggestions presented Thursday. This brought from Dr. Harley L. Lutx, special adviser for the tax commission, the assertion that New York state Is already finding that wholesale exemption of personal property is not working to the best advantage.
