Show WHY NOT TELL THE TRUTH May Be, However, They Are Very Ignorant of the Laws of the State In tho matter of tho action or tho Stnta Board ot Equalization In raising tho aluatloi)N on taxable property In tho Stato, It would be w oil for the Democratic organ to toll tho truth. In tho Inst Issue ot Tito Journal wo rend the following: Now don't let It slip 'jour mind that tho Stato Board ot Equaltza tlon Is a Republican board and that It It Is not rebukod at this election It wilt bo In 'Cacho again next year rnlslng taxes onco 'again.. Again we say that tho scribes nt Tho Journal office are either very ignorant ig-norant as to tho laws ot tho Stato, or thoy aro wilfully possessed of a doslro to prevaricate Section 2583 of tho Compiled Laws of, Utah, 1907, which provides that thoro shall bo a Stato Boaid ot Equalization consisting consist-ing ot lour members not moro than two of whom shall belong to tho Ramo political party. Tho members of tho hoard nro John Watson, nomornt! Harden Beniilou, Democrat; William Bailey, Rcpubllcnu; Amos S. Gnbbot, Republican. Re-publican. Tho iccord shows that lho motion to increnso tho assessment on Caclie county farm lands 25 per cent wns mado by Harden Bcnnion, Democrat. It would bo well for our friends to quit this way ot trying to bolster up their cause by departing from tho truth. |
