[Brigham Young]
I met in council with the Twelve & High council. The subject of tithing, taxation, Police &c was brought up. President Young remarked that there was A great difference between the tithing & taxes for tithing was A standing law of God for one tenth was required of every man & woman who was the head of the family & that would probably [be the law] of the Church until the coming of Christ. But taxes was levied according to circumstances.
