FORTY YEAE5 OF C0NTPU0US COMMUMITY SERVICE 1 ' No' 17 VOLUME 41 BINGHAM CANYON. UTAli THURSDAY, APRIL 23,k 1931 ' Taxpayers Protest Raise in Levy Taxpayers from different parts of the Jordan District met with the County Commissioners and mem-bers of the school hoard and school officials at the commission cham-bers Tuesday. The meeting was for the purpose of discussing the proposed .9 mill raise In the tax levy asked by the school board for this district. The taxpayers entered a vigor-ous protest to the Increase or any Increase whatever during the time of the present financial depression. The school officials represented that In order to carry on the pres-ent program which Is well under way It will be absolutely necesary to have additional funds if the schools are to le maintained on full time. Owing to the falling off of metal production and greatly reduced earnings of the mines, tax receipt will be reduced in the Jordan dls trlct perhaps 40 to 50 per cent The taxpayers assert their inabll ity to pay more and protested any increase They assert other business has had to be curtailed and they feel the schools should economise too whenever possible. k Action was deferred by the Coun-ty tVmmlslson after hearing all discussions and their decision wtll be reached in the matter after due consideration. There Is a large delinquent roll of unpaid taxes left over from 1930, and It Is claimed by the protestant that this condition will grow worse unless ways are found to' econo-mize In corporate expenditures. Paying Premium Just To Be Loyal Notwithstanding the depression and hard times through which the people of Bingham, as elsewhere, are struggling they are still paying more for amusement privileges at the local theatre than Is being char-- , ged by other theatres for the same " class of shows. Complaint Is constantly heard that amusement seekers go to Salt Lake or elsewhere for their enter-tainment. This is true to a certain extent but why do they go away? What has the tyianagement of the local theatre done to help solve this problem? All things being equal, It is to the best Interest of Bingham people to spend their money, here at home, it helps local business and means better conditions, but they should not have to pay a premium for their loyalty to the community. A great majority of the people here are working only part time and as a matter of necessity must be extremely careful In order to make the reduced-pa- check meet their requirements. The little amusement which they are able to afford is further limited when they J : pay 50c to see a picture show which Is shown elsewhere through out this state for 35c. It would seem, not only the part of fairness to local patrons, but good business foresight and show appreciation of their support by charging no more than other show houses do. HONOR STUDENTS U.

PICKUPS What We See And Hear WILL ASK ARTISTS .TO SUB-MIT, DESIGNS BICENTENNIAL Within the next few days, An-drew W. Mellon, Secretary of the Treasury, will invite prominent ar-tists throughout the country to sub-mit designs for the ; new quarter dollar which Will be Issued next year as part of the nation wide celebration of the Two Hundredth' Anniversary of the' Birth of George Washington. This will be the first United States coin of regular Issue to bear the Image of Washington. It is au-thorized by legglslatlon enacted just before the adjournment of Con-gress, design for the George Washington quarter rests with the Secretary of the Treasury, Representative Sol Bloom, Associate Director of the George Washington Bicentennial Commission, will be consulted be-fore the decision Is made. Mr. Bloom furnished the Treasury with a profile photograph of the bust of George Washington by Iloudln, now at Mount Vernon, which has been selected by the Portrait Commis-sion of the George Washington Bi-centennial Commission as the best, likeness of Washington In exist-ence. This profile probably will be used on the new twenty-fiv- e cent piece. The portrait of the First Presi-dent was used on a few coins In 1783, but they were not Issued or approved by the government Such approval might have been given but for Washington's modesty which no doubt made him feel that such honors were not for the living. Although Issued to commemorate the bicentenary Tf Washington's birth the quarter will not be a commemorative coin In the true sense of the word. It will replace the twenty-fiv- e cent piece which , has been minted since 1916 as a coin of regular Issue, and as such will 'be circulated at face value, j The true commemorative coin Is j issued to signalize some particular 4 event and is sold at a premium. On- - ly a comparatively small number j of each Issue Is made. Commemora-- , live coins have not been used as widely in the United States as In some other countries. The first to , appear In this country was the Co-lumbian half dollar made in 1892, with the bust lof Columbus in hon-or of the Immortal discoverer of , America. Incidentally, the only commemorative quarter ever coined ( In the United States was made the following year. It bore the Image of Isabella of Spain, the beneficent sovereign, whose assistance made it possible for Columbus to carry out his cherished project. The only coin of regular Issue in the history of the United States, up to the present time, bearing the Im-age of a President Is the Lincoln penny. This piece appeared In 1908 during the celebration of the cen-tennial 'of the birth of the great Civil War President and was a re-sult of popular demand. The coining of the George Wash-ington quarter dollar during the Bicentennial year,to be continued as a cola ol regular Issue, will be a notable event In the history of the Treasury Department THE SILVER CRISIS The low price of silver is a lead-ing cause of depressed world con-ditions. Silver, as currency, has been debased in a number of coun-tries which .have establlsed the gold standard. Buying power has gone down, resulting in a shrinking mar-ket for wheat and other comnifwli-ties- . It Is more than doubtful If the business of the world can be carried on with gold. The western mining states win hej particularly Interested in any pro-gram designed to restore the purchasing power of silver. In many of those states mining is the giant industry the leading employer, taxpayer and purchaser of supplies of all kinds. Sound metal conditions wean prosperity to thousands of 'American 'families. I VARIETY PROGRAM The popularity of Peggy and Pat r.'dlo couple featured on the Co- - noco Listeners' Hour has been proved In an mnusual way. Since they mentioned during one of their hroHflcoHts a short time ago that they planned a motor tour of the Northwest for their vacation this summer, they have received scores of Invitations to visit other sections. "It would take all summer to vis-it all the places we'd like to," Peg-gy said. "And we only get two j weeks. Besides we wouldn't want I to change our plans now the Cono- - co Travel Bureau has already sent np our maps and passports. Maybe j next year we cau visit other sec-tions." j Other motorists who are planning vacation trips will be interested 10 the next Conoco program, Pat has announced. A real "variety" pro-gram has been arranged by the or-chestra and the quartette. Tune In next Tuesday evening (April 28) on station KSL, Salt Lake City, at 6 p. m.

The ratio of total taxes In the United States to corporate net pro-fits has mounted until, at present, nn average of one dollar out of ev-ery four goes to the tax collector, according to John J. O'Connor, of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. Tills "Let 'Er Go, Gallagher!" spirit on the part of our official s menaces every American industry. It menaces, as well, all invctor, large and small, and the millions of workers whose Jobs and living depend on business progress nnd prosperity. We have seen, In England, Australia and elsewhere what exceslve governmental ex-pense can do to a nation's Indus-trial structure. Unless government, through its own efforts, becomes efficient and economical, it will be up to the peo-ple, through the vote, to force ef-ficiency and economy on it Mrs. James Nerdin and Mrs. Ed-ward Johnson attended the Utah Federation of Womens Cubs at Ogden on Thursday, Friday and Saturday of last week.

In REVOLT It would seem to a logical mind that the motorist contributes his shure of the cost of highways and streets when he pays a gas tax of three or more cents a gallon. But ' In some states he must pay tribute to towns as well. More than 100 municipalities Including such large cities as St. Ix)uls, Kansas City, and New Orleans are now levying municipal gas taxes on top of the state tax. It Is argued that motor cars wear out streets exactly as they wear out jroads. So they do. The fair course of procedure and one that ; , has been adopted in several states "A Is to have a percentage of the state tax allocated to municipali-ties. However, the community gas tax, if it goes far enough, may be a good thing. It will stimulate the "revolt of the motorist" that has of late been gathering (headway rapidly. The motorists pays a li-cense tax, a registration tax, and in some cases a personal property tax on his car. He pays a state gas-oline tax, which is often excessive. In Jsome cases some of the funds he has paid out, ostensibly for highways, have been used for other purposes. He has become the target for legislatures seeking ways and means of rasing money. Unless motorists do something to stop higher gas taxes, it will not be long until the tax is the larger part of the cost of gasoline. RICH GOLD ORE FOUND Recently leasers working on the 700 level of the Highland Boy mine encountered a very rich body of gold ore, It Is reported. Twenty tons of ore was taken out of this pock-et which carried 14 ounces of gold to the ton and netted around $5,600 to the shippers.
