L. Warnick. In addition to general exhibitions that will be seen at the fair, pract-- v ically every town and community has signified intention of putting in special displays of products grown or manufactured. To emphasize the vast mant resources of the county the fair relief agement has prepared a huge map upon which every principal community of the county will be represented. Provo will lead out with a special community exhibit this year, according to information disclosed at the county seat early this week. Merchants and manufacturers are contracting for space, which with other displays already under way, are expected to fill the main building to capacity. It is doubtful if such an array of entertainment and amusment as that planned for this years fair has ever before been assembled for public approval in this part of the state. The Craters of the Moon in which tons of pyrotechnic material and special eouipment will be used, will in all probability 'be the outstanding spectacle of the fair. This, together with all other entertaining features, including the horseraces, horsepulling contest, the pranks of the worlds greatest rodeo clown and his performing mule, and many other features, will be included with the gen- admission ticket. a meeting of the board of di-- y rectors held in Provo Friday evening it was decided to have a full fledged program of horseraces, at which several hundred dollars in prizes will be awarded. The greatest midway carnival ever brought to the county will bring some extraordinary features, according to manager Warnick. Among these are Mme. Yucamia, Indian wonder, whose performance has startled thousands throughout the country.. Capt. Harvey Jones, with Old Jeff and 15 others performing monkeys, will give an exhibition wortih traveling far to see it is said. Waneeta from Death Valley and her mammoth collection of reptiles, is one of the unique features of the carnival So also are Lucy the three handed girl, and Alice, the wonder girl living head with out body. With such a program of features it is the confident expectation of the fair management that every citizen of the county will want to join the throngs at the fair grounds for these three days of fun and whole- .

Inequalities In Our Present Tax System Before any program of tax reform can be properly understood it first becomes necessary to examine into our present tax system and see wheth er there is need for revision. For more than thirty-fiv- e years Utah has been relying on the gener- - j al property tax to finance its state, This school, and local government. system of taxation in substantially the same form as it is found today was in effect before the constitution was adopted. It has served through a period when almost revolutionary changes occurred in our mode of liv- ing and in the forms of wealth. Has our system of taxation kept pace with changing economic conditions? Undoubtedly the continuance1 of the old tax system in the face o. our changing economic status has re- suited in perpetuating gross incquali-- 1 'ties and inequities in distribution of! the tax .burden. To the home own-er- , the holder of real estate and oth- er forms of tangible property, these inequalities are already well known. He has seen some of his property taxed almost to the breaking point while other property has been toler- ated to remain almost exempt. Reports of the state board of equal-- 1 ization show that the annual tax bill has averaged about $20,000,000 of late years. This has been raised for state, school, county, and municipal purposes and has been received al-- 1 most entirely from taxation of prop-lert- y which can be readily reached because it has a tngible existanre that will not permit it to be readily f' hidden. Less than one and percent of this $20.000, 00 tax bill has been raised from taxation of 'stocks, bonds, credits ard other in tangible forms of wealth, i (Continued on Page 1 0 Plan.; are rapidly materializing for a continued Hardware service to the people of Payson and the surrounding districts.

UTAH HAS REASON TO CONGRATULATE ITSELF According to the August issue ol the Utah Taxpayer, official organ of the Utah Taxpayers Association, the state of Utah has reason to congratulate itself upon the action of the public' officials in maintaining this year the old level of levies in counties, school districts, cities and towns. The issue contains a complete tabulation of all of the 211 units. 24 counties, 21 school districts and 177 towns and cities maintained last years levies. Of this number 16 counties, 17 school districts and 27 cities and towns succeded in lowering the levies. This is hailed by the Utah Taxpayers as evidence that when publid officials and organized taxpayers meet for the discussion of public finance, economics are sure to follow. Keeping expenditures down will be welcomed by all taxpayers of all classes during this time of depression, when no more should be exacted for public administration than is absolut-l- y nessary.
