I v't " mi aiHiiii) .li.wgaaasaaaBniiii ..JJJDjasjwfBM -J I truth: i I S3 TRUTHS. J The Tribune's great sensation (?) V about the tax books has flattened out L to nothing. It was only sprung to 11- 1 vert the attention of the public from 1 tho police and city treasurer scandals. The promised further revelations re k.irdluj; the tax books have not ap jj peared. I Wm. J. Lunch Is made tho subject ) of tho . Tribune's virulent attacks In I pursuance of a threat that was made j to punish Mr. Lynch for daring to ar- i rest a certain man who was implicatea j In tho Porland fair irregularities and who atterwards fled to Canada, John Q. Cannon. The Tribune don't like people who are honest and decent. This is no figure of speech. It's cold fact, but tho Trlbuno can't help It. Such Is the nature of tho man who owns the sheet and of courso tho sheet pailakes of the nature of its owner. Because of its antipathy to honest folks it has ) ade Sheriff Emery an especial sub ject of attack during this political I campaign. It hasn't hurt Mr. Emery. I In fact most peoplo think it has helped him in his candidacy for re- ft. Tho Tribune is trying to force the Mormon church to get In politics; to do the very thing It Is blaming tho murch for doing. J & Senators Sutherland and Smoot in their great speeches In the Salt Lake theatre told a great many facts about I tho local political situation with par- " nlar repard to the reason why tho "American" party was formed and ex ists. In both addresses there Is, how over, very little to bo found that Truth has not published many times during tho past fow years an Truti f was tho only paper that iU ed to publish those facts. If Chief of Police Sheets was In as i favorable a position now as he was when ho caused the defeat of Arthur Barnes for mayor of Salt Lake, the "American" party would havo easy sailing. The advance ln-house rents Is large ly duo to tho raise in tho taxes which havo been made by tho city adminis tration. If tho "Americans" capture tho county there will bo a further raise In taxes and a further advance in rents. Houses which now rent for $15 and $20 will go up to $20 and $25 to meet tho tax raise. Tho Trlbuno exhibits a wonderful miount of veneration for the late President Snow. Rats- C. FRANK EMERY Sheriff of Salt Lake County election. In tho courso of his duties as sheriff he found it necessary to ar rest a number of law breakers such as Jim Donelson, and others who were especial favorites and under tho pro tection of their organ, tho Tribune, and Its gang, henco tho Tribune's dis like of him. Mr. Emery has been a faithful, hon est and efficient officer. His depart ment has been conducted with the utmost integrity. Tho peoplo havo confidence in him and we bellevo will show their faith by re-electing him. The exposures In tho police depart ment and tho office of tho city treas urer Is a sample of what Is going on In almost every department of tho city government, and In tho city council. Tho proposed amendment to the state constitution abolishing tho tax on mortgages has been given but slight attention by tho press. As the law stands now the tax is a detriment and tends to keep money out of tho state. Tho lender does not pay the tax, on the contrary, it Is charged up to the borrower, who Is thus mado to pay a doublo tax, one on tho property he mortgages and ono on tho money he borrows. Another defect in tho law Is that a lender who resides outside of Continued on Pago 11. A Bank Account I means comfort, happiness and security H from the woes and miseries that arise H from poverty.
