Fabian, national committeeman, to promote party harmony. Decision reached was that all controversies among members of the party be dropped and that activities of the party be held in abeyance until the beginning of the new year. Mr. Fabian, and others who were known to have attended the meeting, refused to comment. Reorganization of the Republican State committee is not anticipated at present, although it is possible the Lincoln day banquet in February may be selected as the time for a meeting at which reorganization plans may be carried out." It it not only wise to postpone ae tion concerning the reorganization of the party, but it is quite necessary. It is necessary because no one knows just what happened in the late election. A few weeks or a few months must lapse before the nigger or nig gers in the wood pile are smoked out. As time goes on much which now is a mystery will be revealed. Crossing, g and redouble-crossin- g will be made more or less public. The forces which led to such an abnormal landslide in Republican Salt I.ake City and county will be revealed. Sure it is that no single influence can be charged with the disaster which overwhelmed the party. It was something vital which caused Utah to step out of line with all the other mountain states, and that something must be known before a remedy can be applied. When the mask is torn off, it will be found that ambition, jealously, revenge, slander, and every thing that is mean, little and con' temptable went to make up the devils mixture. So far as rural Utah is concerned, it will never submit to sore-heabolting. Salt Lake dictators reorganizing the Republican party for the state.

The proper man to tax would be the loafer, not the worker; idle land, not used land; in- active capital, not active capital; lack of enterprise, not enterprise. Such, a tax would not be practical, but it would be a just tax. Our present taxes are based on an opposite theory. We tax thrift, action, capital, enterprise. We levy taxes in proportion to ability to pay, which means that the harder a man works, the more we tax him; the more thrifty he becomes, the more we soak him; the more efficient he grows, the more we knock him down. If a man saves his money and buys a house, he is taxed; if he wastes his money in extravagant living, he is not taxed. None of our taxes encourage production by the simple process of discouraging idleness, shiftlessness, inefficiency. The devil himself could not do a neater job of hobbling the race.

Hammond, secretary of the state board of equalization, will be discussed at a meeting of the state committee of the Utah Taxpayers association Thursday at 4 n. m. at association offices in the Hearn building. The committee will decide if there is anything in the report which justifies making certain recommendations to the legislature for tax reform bills. Thursdays meeting has been called by A. P. Bigelow, state chair-ma- n of the association, and will be addressed by Ephraim Bergeson, president of the Utah State Farm Bureau and of the Taxpayers association.
