The taxpayers do not wish to se the improvement of the county stop or curtailed in any way, but what they fo insist on is that they receive 100 cents on the dollar for each dollar spent on the roads and other public improveDuring the ments. It has been the policy of the present county administration to exercise every care and precaution in the expenditure of public monies, and at the same time make all the necessary improvements that the county needs. We call attention to the work done on the court house, in fixing up the different officesjmd the court room; alscr the county roadswhichrare being improved as much as in the past. In doing this the taxes have not been increased, but on the contrary de- in taxes for the year 1916 in Davis county, as compared with 1915. ' Most of the taxpayers of the county will remember that at a mass meeting held in Layton two years ago a resolution was passed directing the county commissioners io do everything in their- - power- - to curtail taxation, and these figures are submitted as an evidence that the spirit of this resolution has been followed. Every effort will be made to make further reductions and there is every reason to believe that the next two years will see a - General fund, $27,217.54 1915-Gefund, 31,282.66 It is this fund that the county commissioners have absolute control of. The other taxes are turned over to the various boards, such as the school board, the state, etc. The county tax we then find has .been reduced $4,065.12 this year. It perhaps is not .a great amount for each person, but it is a step in the right direction," a lowering of the taxes with out a cessation of improvements in the county. , 1916 County Commissioner. Harris -- Smith Meetings The Republicans of Kaysville and Farmington were treated to red-hpolitical meetings Monday evening ot Harris of OgSenator Reed Smoot of, Utah, spoke at the Kaysville opera house. Previous to his appearance in Kaysville Senator Smoot addressed the Farmington meeting. Judge Harris' speech consisted principally principally of reading from the National Democrat platform and commenting thereon by reading extracts from American newspapers and quoting from Mexican officials. His line of argument was to show that the foreign policy of President Wilson was weak and vacillating, both at home and abroad, and the extracts read from foreign newspapers showed the contempt in which the administration and Americans generally were when Judge Nathan J. den, and United States held. oans ? ' High School News . , John Parrish, a member of the junior class, discontinued his studies at Davis last Tuesday to accept an bffer-tgo on the Orpheum circuit. John will make ihs first appearance in Chicago in three weeks. The boy soprano is well known throughout Davis and Salt Lake counties and no doubt he will make a success of his work. He sang two selections before the student body that morning which were greatly appreciated. Coach Briggs will take his boys to Murray next Friday to play the high school team there. The first number of the lyceum course will be the Maurer Sisters quartet knd will be given in the high school auditorium next Wednesday afternoon at 3 oclock. Everybody is invited.

Senator is of the , uncomprising type of Republican and during his speech flayed the administration from start to finish. His attitude was at all times pugnacious and he was absolutely certain of himself. In short, Senator Smoot maintained his reputation as an ardent Republican at all times to defend the party to which k owed his allegiance. The speech s received with frequent applause d the speaker was encouraged -- to drive home his arguments with added force by his enthusiastic hearers.

TO THE PEOPLE THE VOTERS OF OF DAVIS COUNTY DAVIS COUNTY We feel that the people of Morgan county are justified in asking your careful consideration of our candidate for the State senate, regardless of po-- , litical affiliations. We supported a Rich county Democrat at the convention and at the polls and also while in office for one term. We supported, in the same way, a Republican sen-atfrom Rich county for oneterm and have supported in the sameTway Republicans from Davis county for two terms and a Democrat for one term. And now, in the face of these facts, that Rich county has held the office for eight years and Davis county has held it for twelve years and Morgan county has never held the office of State senator. We therefore feel justified in soliciting your support for our candidate, Mtr. James A. .Anderson, who has very creditably represented Morgan county in the lower house of the legislature for three terms and who is a very successful business man of great ability and broad experience.. We ask, are we entitled to recognition? Respectfully, MORGAN CO. COMMISSIONERS.

Supplementary of what has been said above about "roorbacks and last minute disclosures, The News take one more opportunity to eay that the Church authoritlee ea such are not in politics at all, and they are not for any particular party or candidate or against' any. As individual citizen they have their preferences, of course, and who has a better right? But In their high ecclesiastical capacity they seek to exert no undue influence, and they authorize no use of their names to bolster up cause or candidate, neither do they feel it necesary to issue disclaimers or denials. Let the parties and the officeseekers make their own fight on their own merits, leaving the Church leaders entirely out of it, where they wish to be. Intend to be, and are any statement to the contrary notwithstanding.

SMITH. fPolitical Advertisement s; vice-preside- Elders-Conferenc- Dear sir Some of the citizens of our fair county have called into question the sincerity' of Mr. Simon Bamberger,, nominee for governor on the Democratic ticket. Among things that they have tried to show is that all of his public endeavors have been actuated by selfishness. In refutation of these statements made by some of our over zealous Republican friends, I desire to call your attention to one or two Tacts. For nearly thirty years the gardeners and fruit growers of Davis,' Salt Lake and Utah counties hadr endeavored to get a market concession from the city of Salt Lake, but were unable to make any. headway in their cause. Early in January, 1910, a committee of producers was appointed by the citizens of Davis county to again ask the city of Salt Lake for a market concession upon one of its streets.. This committee consisted of John IL Barlow, Jr, and William Putman, of Bountiful; Andrew Sjoblom and John T. Williams, of Farmington ; Frank Cutler, of Salt Lake City, and Frank Smith and myself, of Centerville, Utah. We the city council and after meeting with the committee of that body some sixteen different times we failed to get a hearing. They simply toyed with us. At this particular time I explained this matter, and what it meant to the people of Salt Lake City, and also to the hard working gardeners and fruit growers of these counties, to a number of the leading citizens of Salt Lake, of whom one was the Honorable Simon Bamberger. He immediately saw what a what an enormous great thing it would be to the city,-an- d saving of time, expense, effort, etc., it would be to the farmers of these counties, and offered his services to me in obtaining such a market concession. Through his efforts entirely was this concession granted. The histofy of the market speaks for itself. It has saved the growers ten3 of thousands of dollars of expense. It has facilitated business for the legitimate dealer of Salt Lake and has given to the people of Salt Lake a means of balancing the price of sup plies to the consumer ; and it has made it absolutely impos- sible for any man or set of men to completely control the price of foodstuffs to the detriment of the people of Salt Lake City. In going over the history of this concession, I have been unable to see wherein Simon Bamberger could have, had any selfish motive whatever in regard to the same, and the only way I can explain his attitude in giving service to me and my friends in. this matter, is that it was purely for the love of right and to do a BIG THING for the common people. It is only one more evidence of the bigness of the man. 7 Mary White-sidetreasIrul Simmons; secretary, comamusement Phil Roberts; urer, NelHarold mittee, Gladys Barker, Juniors President, Newman son.
