Show 1 Turned a. Summersault H Tbe Bait. Like Herald Ii tlio grealeit H paper to turn ittcil Inildo out on the H bounty huslness o( any ppr lu the H wt. In iti edltorol columns of Aug. H 21it it completely reversed Itself on the H bounty theory it line heretofore nd- H Tecated. It show, and don It veil H too, that it Ii tho rlrh cities nnd counties H that pay tho tchool tax snd tho bounty. H It shows that the freo public scsools are H paid for In the aatno mauner that tho H bounty is paid out ol tho poolceteof tho B rioh for the benefit of the poor, Isn't B that right that the man of means should B eontributo of his means for tho educ- H atlon of tho poor who hnvo tint tho prop B crty to bo nr-seseed. Wo hnvo always H said yes. Isn't it right that tho man of H Means ihould bu Just as willing to havo H his property taxed for tint purpose of H lettering and helping ttart Industries to H gire employment to the children of Utah H at Hit to educate them? The lndl- H cation of the policy of the Herald hat B led us to believe it was nn advocate of B tue rri but " '" vcr7 vldent we have B been mlstkvn,for in the article referred H loit has turned a complete summersault, B "nJ warm the rlcb cities and counties B to be on the look out or tho poor B rounties will be robbing and plundering B tlic treasury. Here is what it aaya : B AnT bpunties that the legislature of B VlU may grant will bo paid for by the B" people of Utah, nnd by no one efro. AVhcre will the great bulk of this B bounty monoy come from? It will BH come from tbe tame source that the BH money for the support of the school tor BH tho territory comei from Bait Lake BH City and those places that pay more BH school money than they rtcelvo It BH was a pretty dlQlcult matter to get the HH late constitutional convention to ullow HH this city to conduct it own school HH system nt its own expense, although HH the members who weru so small about HH tho matter ktiew all the tlmo that the HH city was supplying moro money for the BH eupport of the echools lu their own HH county than their onn county wan. If HH this was thu feeling on the cchoo HH question what will It be when it conies BH to the bouuty question, whero there U a HH chance for individuals to not only save HH themselves from taxes but to rrreiie HB directly a portion of the taxes? If the HH Kepublicana shall succeed In controllng HB the legislature and inaugurate at) stem HH ol bounties, as they certainly will, it HB simply means that Bait Lake City uiul HH those other cities and counties that HB havo pnld moro into tbe general school BH fund then they havo drawn eut, will be HB loqted in tho Interest of tbe bounty BB grabbers and treasury plundeis. It it BH useless to attempt to disguise the fiict, HB no matter how much it Is to be de- BB precated, that a large part of tlio peopli BH in some of (bo poorer counties dem ttie BH rich cities of the territory a legitimate HB subject U prey upon. What a golden , H' opportunity n system of bounties n ill BB give them to lndulgo this Instinct. BB Isn't tliore something In all this to BB cause the mon of means In the liepubli- BB can party whose coutrlbutioua to tin ' BB general tax fund are large to pause and BB think 7 They already feel the Injueticr ' BB oi the general school tax which mnku ' BB them pay (or schools In counties ol I BB which they scarcely know the namo and I BB location, thereby relieving the people of ( BB those couuties of the necessity of taxing BB themselves for the snpport of their own , BB schools. la it desirable to burden BB thomwilvea still further for the benefit BB of thosd same ceuntles? There is a C BB dar.ger that auch will bo the caso if a " BB Itopubllcan legislature is elected. ' BB f1 |
