Show H PRODUCE YOUR PROOF! H "They are liars; they are liars! Taxes in Utah arc just right 1" 1 That, in brief, is the argument of the Spry morning organ in Ogden. H "When the Standard presents signed letters from Deputy Assessor H E, R. Nielsen of Oneida county, whose address is Malad, Idaho, and H from M. H. Miller, county treasurer of Elko Nevada, the answer in H the.Exatn.iner is that, "Bull Moosers can juggle figures and may quote H pretended letters from invisible gentlemen in distant states letters that, are made in the offices of the'cven'mgpublication." H There is a daily motor service over the Oregon' oShort Line from H Ogden tq lalad, Idaho. A letter sent from here to alad in the H morning will bring a response by wire or mail within a few hours, M and yet the morning paper speaks of Mr. Nielson in Malad a former H resident of Utah as "an invisible gentleman in a distant state." H If that is not a deliberate subterfuge, then Old Satan himself can- H not manufacture one. H Elko, Nevada, is the second important town on the Southern Pa- M cific west of Og4en. A letter written to M. II Miller would bring an j answer within 24 hours, If what the Standard has said is not true, 1 why do not the Spry gangsters write these county officials and, when i they reoeivc an answer, publish the same. The Standard's article including letters from those men, was published last Monday in ample time for the Spry people to produce proof, if they can. of any misstatements. Instead of calling liar, why don 'I they present one single fact in refutation of the Standard's charges? The letters on taxes in Idaho aud Nevada were certified to. after being in print, as correct copies of the originals, by T. R. 0 'Connolly a notary public of Ogden. If Mr. 0 'Connolly has falsely certified, Governor Spry can revoke his license today, tomorrow or u year from now, if proof is supplied at -any time of such false certification.. Common Com-mon sense teaches us that no notary public would expose himself to be publicly humiliated and perhaps imprisoned in order to gam a temporary political advantage for himself or any other person. It does not seem necessary to elaborate on this point, but the brazen effrontery of the morning paper forces us to proceed with great detail to take its editor by the nose and twist his snout until there is not a squeal left in him. |
