VERNON property owners in Logan, would have the sales tax eventually entirely replace the property tax. Without an income tax, without a corjioiation tax, without a property tax, Dr. Vernon would push the entire burden of taxation onto those least able to pay, and especially onto those with large families. If that time should ever come, men like Dr. Vernon, extremely economical, careful with their expenditures, and with their families grown up, would be living in a Utopia. They would have no taxes of any nature to pay they would be sitting pretty h tax load on on top' of the the bent backs of the toilers. We, too, believe that eventually the property tax should be abolished. But it should be replaced not by the unjust sales tax but by the income tax, the only fair tax yet invented.

Zangara, who had told from the witness stand how and wmy he attempted to assassinate Mr. Roosevelt, was sentenced to 20 years imprisonment the maximum- on each of four counts of assault. WILLING TO DIE The prisoner calmly pleaded guilty to each count as the prosecutor went down the list of four including one involving the president-elect and then in a statement from the witness stand said he was ready to go to the electric chair if the judge wanted to send him there. Then the judge recounted tne list of charges, sentencing the lit the unemployed bricklayer to 20 years on each of the four counts. The sentences will run consecutively, the judge said, making the sentence equivalent to a life term as the assassin is 33 years eld OTHER ACTIONS INTIMATED Zangara tried to smile. His teeth showed white and glistening against his dark face. "It is fair," he said, "I am satisfied.

With this system of passing the tax, these l,u utiesses believed that they might he relieved of part of their tax burden. The sales tax is wrong in theory. Taxes should be levied against a persons ability to pay. And the sales tax does just the opposite. is the only business which can, when faced with a deficit, go forth and demand newr revenues to balance its budget. Other businesses, run intelligently, must curtail expenses until their expenditures at least equal their revenues. Politicians will never learn, it seems, that this business- principle should be used in government. Instead, they seek the easy way out the levying of additional taxation. Perhaps Utah is in a financial dilemma. But it is not necessary. There is not a political subdivision in all Utah which could not become solvent by sane business methods.

Lundstrom, manager of the Lundstrom Furniture company, has returned from a ten day trip to San Francisco where he went to be in attendance at the mammoth furniture exhibit conducted by leading furniture manufacturers. Mayor Lundstrom declares those responsible for the exhibits were delighted with the large attendance, furniture merchants coming from all of the western states. The sentiment Among leading business men of the coast, according to Mayor Lurdstrom, seems to be that a change for the better in the financial - condition of the country is due to break before long They are more optimistic than they have been for some time.

We have commissions, bureaus, departments and the like, all of which were fine when there was money to run them, but which now should be eliminated until we put our financial house in order. We believe Governor Blood is anxious to try this method first, not last. We believe he is anxious for the state to look to real economy, not new ways to raise taxes. Jf the legislature meekly toes the line and saddles the sales tax on the working men of Utah, allowing the man who is able to pay to escape, it is going to hear an effective protest from the masses of this state. The sales tax should he killed. 700 FARMERS STOP FORECLOSURE SALE tax-harass- ed KANKAKEE, 111, Feb. 20 (HE) crowd of 700 angry farmers surged around the courthouse today and prevented for the second time a scheduled sale by foreclosure of the mortgage on James FIRST GRANDCHILD Mrs. George will be held in Smithfield.
