Dern has taken a position strongly advocating the passage of the proposed constitutional amendments amend-ments by the people this fall. His position was outlined In an address delivered Monday, September 8, before the state federation of labor ; at Its annual convention In Salt Lake. "I am heartily In favor of that program because I believe It la to be an Improvement upon Utah's present inequitable tax system, he said, "I . am in favor of it because I think It will make possible a fairer distribu tlon of the tax burden that we have today." ' Governor Dern pointed out many flawg in the present constitution,, the , effect of which Is to grant exemptions exemp-tions to the great mass of Intangible property and render it Impossible to either tax the property Itself, or to tax the income derived therefrom. Experience, he said, has shown it to : be faulty to tax a few classes of in- ; tangibles not exempted by the constitution, consti-tution, at the same rates as are ap plied against tangible property. This, he declared, Is required under the prevailing "uniform rule" in the con stitution. . ; The charge that Intangible proper ty is being favored by laxity on the part of tax officials was refuted by the Governor. He said the principle of taxation of Intangibles at the same rates as tangible property "is wrong ; and It can't be done." f In some states there Is nearly as much In Intangible as there is in tangible property. If the same ratio holds true In Utah, it means that one half the wealth in the State Is escaping escap-ing taxation, Governor Dern asserted. ; For twenty-five . years past the people have been agitated by this condition. Home owners and farmers farm-ers have bitterly complained that ' they were carrying the burden of government), while others, more able to pay than they, were escaping their Just share of the load, he said. Early in his administration, Governor Dern announced he had told the state Board of Equalization to work out a more fair system of taxation. Their report as quoted by the Governor was "We can't make a start until we amend the constitution. The hands f the legislature are to tied by constitutional con-stitutional restrictions that it could not give the people relief, no matter how willing it might be' to do so." Governor Dern took the position that the constitutional exemption of certain intangibles and the requirements require-ments that the remainder be taxed at general property fates had almost eliminated intangibles from the tax rolls. i Here You'll Get Real Bargain;!

Shop and Save at Clark's Cash and Carry If the proposed amendments are passed, he contended, the state would be benefited through collection of a fair tax on intangibles which would not be a heavy burden on that prop erty but which would still yield nuffl- cient revenue to reduce the tax on tangible property which is now carrying carry-ing the heavy load. His position on the amendment for creating a tax commission was equally equal-ly strong in recommending its approval ap-proval by the people. He argued that more than thirty states now have a successful central administration; that the amendment only authorizes the legislature to give additional authority to the tax commission; that the legislature must be trusted not to abuse this power. Governor Dern also contended that the legislature had not abused its power In taxation of mones in the past, and should be trusted to work out a better system of mine taxation In case a better method, could be found. This, he salty was proposed after January 1, 1935 by the amendment amend-ment relating to mine taxation. The Governor made it elear that the proposed amendments would only untie the hands of the legislature to deal with the subject. The detail of the plan was left to the legislature to decide. In conclusion he urged that the system of taxation proposed in Utah was not an experiment Every feature fea-ture of the plan Is in successful operation op-eration Jn one or more states today. The system la not radical nor revolutionary, revolu-tionary, in any respect, but merely proposes to shift a part of the tax load from property to Intangibles and i income. There la a cry for Justice and he urged the people ot the state to join in the cry and keep It up un til justice was done.
