Also without doubt there are some-many pieces-that are not paying anything like what they should pay. ~ Assessor Brown has sought to establish an equality of taxation in this re | gard. He has made every effort to fix a fair and just valuation on certain pieces of proverty that he belleves have not been assessed at a proper "figure. And he has waked a perfect tempest of condemnation. That is natural But if nothing more can be said than that his judgment is bad, he can afford to laugh at his detractors. His judgment may be bad, but it is his judgment. It is the judgment of the assessor the people have placed in office. He is charged with the task of making these assessments, and it is left to his discretion. We do not believe he has seriously gone wrong. He has no motive in so doing, and no reasonable man will challenge his judgment. The silliest assertion against him is that he makes a difference in the valuation of property on different sides of one street; that he rates business property on the west side of Main sireet higher than he does that directly opposite. And the silly, summertallow charge is made that property on one side of a street is always, in every city, worth precisely as much as property opposite. Men who know anything do not wake that charge. They know that in every city, little and big, the width of a street almost invariably makes a difference in the property values. In Chicago, for example, the Marshall Field property, on the east side of State street is worth twice that directly opposite, on the west side of State street. It ig so all the way down that greatest of Western retail ways. It is so in Salt Lake. Business stands on one side of a street are worth more than on the opposite side. ‘The rent shows it. The valuation for taxation purposes should show it, too. Assessor Brown canrot properly be charged with misuse of authority for his action in revising assessments on business property. It is not a ratsing of valuation. It is an adjustment demanded by every rule of fairness and right.-. NOT A CASE OF NEED MEN. In the party of women apply- ing. Rocky ATTACKS ON THE ASSESSOR.

It is necessary only to tell the truth about the causes leading up to the business panic of last fall. Do that, and the men causing that distress will POLYGAMY. In the Tribune of Thursday, and in every astern newspaper for which the Tribune acts as correspondent, appears the statement that a new case of polygamy _js developed at Provo, A man named Conover is accused of polygammy. He married his first wife in 1901, and Kis second in 1907. It is unfortunate for the state of Utah that this case may be called polygamy, al though it does not even remotely resemble that system. By the statement of both Conover and his first wife, she left her husband, and traveled where she wanted to, without direction from him, without his knowledge of her whereabouts, and without depending on him for support, or recognizing him as her husband. He says he saw her name in the list of the dead at the San Francisco earthquake, and ‘so. believed himself free, He married the second wife in the firm belief that he was an unmarried man. That isn't polygamy. It is simple bigamy-if it is anything. If the man can establish his case, he is technically guilty of an offense against the laws of the state, and should be punished. But by the story of nelther of Lewis H. Beason says in the New York Engineering and Mining Journal: "The year 1907 was the most active in the history of the coal-mining industry in the state of Utah. A total of 1967,621 tons were mined, which is a gain of 128,432 tons over the production of 1906. Carbon county led in production by an output of 1,815,133 tons; Summit county came next with 73,918 tons; then Sanpete with 4,500 tons; Morgan with 425 tons and unclassified mines in Iron and other counties with 70,117 tons. "In the annual report of the state inspector of coal mines, J. E. Petit, to the governor which was filed on Jan. 5, the total production of hydro-carbon is given. as_follows, Gilsonite, 21,462 Lastern papers are printing that tons; elaterite, 125 tons; tabbyite, 100 item, and arguing that the desert tons; asphalt, 4,000 tons; ozokerite, country is asking too much.

Colorado, Utah, Wyoming and Arizona will be asked to join hands in making a campaign for the road. None of the states through which the proposed road will pass has sufficient finances to build it, but as it will be a great highway for travelers from all parts of the United States, it is argued that the road is of more importance than some of the inland harbors upon which vast sums are lavished annually."

Western members of that party voted for Roosevelt by the thousand because they knew his campaign was being made in good faith- whether or not they approved his policy. And they didn't at all believe the Parker campaign was sincere. They might as well nominate Bryan as any other. Eastern leaders can get their people to support Bryan. Western leaders couldn't get their people to support an anti-Bryan. candidate. They can't elect him any way. But they can't elect any one.
