it has come lo 10 be the rule in public bodies and with the public at large to be divided into at keivit two pities pi ties the party of the majority which rules and the party of the minority or opposition which grumbles at tit opposes and inis misrepresents represents eve everything that the party ot the majority doe doeg generally generalli irrespective of the quality of the acta of the majority y whether they be good bad or indifferent it is is well known that in this malevolent spirit of opposition this report has been long sought and when obtained was speedily published to the world and it is strongly suspected that the report has been made in a similar spirit the report consequently will be looked upon as a one sided affair procured for a par pose and therefore liable to suspicion as not a fair presentation portions of accounts being taken atlon from those who understood the circumstances and the times under and in which the several transactions occurred take the accounts of any kind of business in the world and manipulate them in this way and they can be made to appear very strange ge and even inconsistent and suspicious to say nothing more the first complaint in the report is that church property is not taxed this however amounts to nothing a as sit it esthe is the rule throughout the country not to tax religious establishments or church property A lisi list of a few of thih tha hea bea heaviest tax payers is given evidently wih with the view of making it appear that one person verson is taxed too both in whole and andas as ton toa to a particular la r part of his property i this Is merely a matter of opinion there ae ate no doubt hundreds of taxpayers who consider they are taxed too heavily and their neighbors too lightly it would be impossible to please everybody over the tax assessment non nor is iture that it is so doke dose in any city in existence there are diffrient opinions as to the value of pieces of property y it is th the e business of the assessor tomake as eaul table tabie an assessment as he can and this wo we presume alse asse avin der las aas has done we see no proof to the contrary and tile the committee only give their opinion upon it which is worth no more than that of four other citizens besides a it nian niad man may own much rall rail railroad road or bank or business stock which is taxed to the respective institutions and not in his individual name and so does not appear as his tax though really it ia Is and he be pays it another man might have a large business and all hig his grated iu fu it hlis flis taxes of course might look larger than those of a mv who had more means but which was diffused over several beveral businesses dhe ases not conducted in his own natle natie again a firm of a several everal tethers br tw might might do a aa large rge business and have valuable real es tate and all be taxed under their own name and the total of their taxes would appear very large largo larger than thoe thor of or a firm of greater means but means diffused ed and taxed under other names or titles if all the taxes a man really pays his individual name juam the list of names given in the ti report port would be very dit different ferent to what it is tim the next thing thins complained of or is a remittance of half the bar 11 II of little and young salt wak lake hue houwe the fact
