Yes, Stop and Consider! Chi . I for the ladies in their wearing apparel. We have all the latest styles and We are in a position to do as much patterns in Ladies Suits, Coats, Dresses, Skirts, etc In its issue of Oct, 21 the Box Elder Journal, in article copied mostly 'from the Salt Lake Tribune, invites every individual to Stop and Consider matters pretaining to the proposed amendment to the constitution respecting the taxing of mines which is to be voted on at the lection on Nov 5 Stop and Consider is the proper warning and if the people will do so and pay no attention to the insinuations and threats hurled at the teachers of the state for the purpose of diverting the attention of the people from the real issue, there will be no question as to the passing of the proposed amendment by a large majority. Commenting on that part of the article from the Tribune we have only this to say, that it is our belief that the Tribune is owned by the mining interests and can consistently take no other course than that which it is taking. The same may be said of the various written opinions lengthy by attorneys for the mine owners and published in the same paper. Hence we are not expecting anything else from the Tribune, but this should not hold good with the Journal. Let it be strictly understood that The this is not a political question. amendment has been submitted to the people by both Republican and Democratic legislatures and both of the great political parties of the state left it out of their platforms this year, arguing that it was not a political issue and should not be made political capital out of by either party. So much for the charge that the educators of the state are dabbling in politics. However, Mr. Journal, the time has long since passed when your humble school teacher, docile and subservient though he may be, must take a back seat, be satisfied with anything that might be handed out to him, .keep his hands out of public affairs, but patiently and in all humbleness be content with teaching the three R's to the children. We believe that it is quite generally conceded in our day that the ordinary teacher makes no more mistakes in the handling of the problems of life than do his friends in other pursuits. Educators do not claim perfection in the handling of school problems, ut we claim that they should at least be given credit for honesty and sincerity of purpose and they should not be accused of having selfish motives, when they are doing that which in their judgment is based on the pricniples of justice and fairness and is for the benefit of the children who have been placed in their charge. Threats such as is hinted at throughout the entire Tribune article have no terrors for the true teacher nor for any school official who knows the conditions confronting our schools and who are seeking to devise ways and means by which the burden of maintaining the excellent standard attained by the schools of this state may be met equitably and fairly by all the taxpayers of the state. The Journal makes a rather sweeping statement, and vouches for its being a fact, about duplication of work, dispensing with the services of a unm-be- r of teachers end thereby saving thousands of dollars to the taxpayers. Information of that sort, brother,' based upon knowledge and accompanied by workable remedies, I am sure would be welcome and appreciated by our school officials and also by our lawmakers and should be given to them at once; but even that, if true, would be no reason why the mines of the state should not pay their just share of the taxes. Again, quoting from the Journal, The amendment proposes to give the state board of equalization the right and power to say how much wealth is contained in the mountains, to say how deep veins of ore run and what it is worth, and assess all mining claims on thatbasisits full valuation. Can ih be done? Say, Mr. Journal, thats a hard one! Have you read the amendment, and if so, by what process of reason could you possibly place such a construction on it? Let us quote part of the amendment: All metalliferous mines or mining claims, both placer and rock in place, shall be assessed at no per acre and in addition thereto at a value based upon some multiple or submultiple of the net annual proceeds thereof No gazing into the mountains in that, brother, to see how much is left, but basing the facts on the NET proceeds of what has already been taken out and converted into actual cash If much is taken out, much should be the tax if little is taken out, little will be the tax; if none is taken out, there will be no tax. Does the man who owns a small farm have even that advantage? Does he not pay his tax on r stringent war times. CITY, UTAH.

In 1915, the valuation of all property in this state, except mines, was raised about two and a half times its former valuation, and the tax levy, or rate of taxation, was reduced to about two-fiftof the former levy. By this little stunt, tlie mines received the benefit of the reduction in the levy, but as they were taxed on their NET annual proceeds the valuation should not be raised, and the mines of the state have profited to the tune of about 6600,000.00 a year, a snug little sum which really belongs in the state treasury. No wonder that they do not want any interforence with the present method of taxation. Just a word about the distribution of the taxes. It is certainly known CD that the educators of the state have no say in the distribution of the taxes. This "is done by the legislature, hence the charge that the educators are mixing up inthis from a selfish motive should be dismissed. We do claim that taxes should be paid, first in pro-- 1 portion to ones property, and second according to ones ability to pay it; hence we are In favor of the proposed amendment, as a step in the right direction, and we unhesitatingly say, vote yes on all three proposed amendments on November 5th.
