Show THE WAY OF THE TRUSTS. We have been subsidizing the Utah sugar works liberally here of late This subsidy was piled up by adding additional tax burdens upon the backs of the poor and distreseed tax-payers as well as those of all other classes of citizens. On Thursday a four hun-fired hun-fired thousand dollar mortgage was filed on the plant. This, we have not a doubt, goes to the sugar truBt as a loan, and in return the local company becomes be-comes simply an integer of that wonderful won-derful monopoly. Of course it is very noble in our people peo-ple to put their own money into the business and also tax the people to build up a property upon it which, by these means, becomes a property worthy 01 -the attention of the trust.IttakeB.eome-' trust.IttakeB.eome-' times, a good deal of doctoring ere euch an enterprise becomes of sufficient worth to induce the trusts to risk money -on it. Governor John Evans of Colorado has made several millions of money by gathering subscriptions, tax exemptions, exemp-tions, etc., build a line of railroad, sell it out to some big corporation and by retaining enough interest secure a good fighting chance for all the future. That is all right, but when such enterprise en-terprise attacks the farmers it becomes another thing quite. We will soon ete how this thing is to go, and that will bj when the first interest on the bonds faliS due. There is fun ahead for the tetted favored enterprise which the 1 beet raisers in their liberality haye so generously subsidized. |
