We present here some figures fciven in the September issue of The Western Taxpayer relative to Uxes in Utah: Every man woman and child in Utah will this year pay a ,'per capita tax of $16.25 for interest and sinking fund on the lie debt of the state, which includes state, county, school and 7, municipality, the total debt aggregating $40,827,586 as of Janu-- ; pry 1, 1922, plus the upkeep of the State highways, The total debt of the counties of the state is $7,058,680 ; of cities and totyns7 $12,7X9,507 ; of schools, $11,289,369. Add to this the state road bond debt of $7,260,000; of capitol buiiding, $1200,000 ; of the general fund, $500,000, and the University of Utah $300,000, and there is a total bonded debt of $40,327,586. This iVa state whose population is 449,446. Assuming that the debt of the counties, cities and schools in the state, which is $31,067,556 bears five per cent interest, which Is a conceryative conclusion, and it will be seen that the interest aggregates $1,553,377. To care for the sinking fund to meet the principal of the debt, on the assumption that the bonds have twenty years to run, the sum of $1,553,377 must be set aside, making the total aggregate $3 106, 754, or a total per capita of $7.00. To this should be added the interest on the state debt, amounting to $9,910,000, the sum of 454,000 and the sinking fund of $708,500 which makes a gross total of $4,269,254, or a , per capita of $9.50, or for an average family of five,' $47,50. In the same issue there is a table of the debts of the various counties, in which Cache county looms high ; its county debt being given as $725,000; the detbs of its cities and town, admit-etdl- y and its school debt as $469,832; or incomplete as $614,779; " " ' a total of $1,809,611.

Sogar beets greatly improve the soil fertility when planted in rotation with other crops. The beets take nothing from the soil but leave humus in the form of small rootlets. Enormous amounts are paid out each year Tor supplies such as coal, lime rock, coke, sulphur, soda ash, machinery, bags etc. Tiie Industry plays a very important part in the support of railroads. It has been estimated that every acre of beets har-vested results in an earning to the railroad companies, of from $30 to $40. Using the latter figures on 150,000 acres of beets, the railroad revenue alone amounts to $6,000,000 from the beet crop in Utah and Idaho. , The sugar companies of Utah and Idaho have an annual payroll of approximately five million dollars. Thedomestic beet sugar industry is a safety valve to prevent exhorbitant sugar prices and I sould here to quote an excerpt from Senator Smoots recent speech before the Senate of the United States: Mr. President: If every sugar plant in The United States were closed tomorrow, within two months the American consumer would pay more on account of the advance in price of sugar than the cost in the beginning of the sugar plants and the profits whjgjL tLe- - ft a Yemad e; ,Xb era Js nQ,.UjUngJiuw,.muc:ltfarlb.t would gofbut I know that the price would go just as high as the people of this country who purchase sugar would stand. Summarizing, the beet sugar industry creates large payrolls, increases bank clearings, enchances the value of real estate, develops farm land, aids soil fertility, furnishes excellent stock feed, builds and supports railroads, assists in the building of inland empires ; all of which means that it is a big factor in the welfare of any community and it therefore, merits the support of each individual.
