JVhen the Deniocrats met iu convention at. Springville they made much of the deplorable ivaste in the Republican administration in .this jonnty.juuLixi bold laiiguaga o the peofile that theyvvere shouldering unbearable burdens of taxation, setting themselves up as masters of finance and the only people who could handle affairs without imposing burdens upon the public. Since the Democratic platform denounces the Republican administration for overburdening the people ami increasing salaries, it might be well to look back into the past and see under which party Utah County has been thriv' , ing mose.' to in the records the court house the total fees from According all county offices for 1897, which was about the last Democratic ration' liere, amounted to $10,737.53. The salaries for that for year county officers amounted to $16,708.64. or in other words Utah County paid its Democratic officers $6,031.11 to maintain those officers. Let us compare this with the year 1911, a Republiean'year under Republican officers. Last year our county officers collected in fees $21,915,09. For that year the salaries. of all county officers amounted to $17,470.44. This amount pays off all, e ou n t y offi c e r s and pays to Utah County Treasurer $4,439.23 above all salaries. This means that the Republican administration of i91 1 changed the defiiet on account of salaries of $0,031.11 to a balance of $4,439.25 in the treasury, or a difference of $10,470.36 in favor of the Republican system of administering the business'affairs of Utah County. This change is certainly worthy of Hie consideration of every '- voter in Utah County. ; That Salary Question. in their In the face of the Again, platform the Democrats say: faUhatthe burdens of taxation in Utah County have grown so heavy that the common people are staggering under the load,wewish to inform the taxpayers of this county that the present Republican county commissioners have this year again increased salaries of every officer of Utah County except the surveyor and superintendent of schools, and that such increase fixes the salary of every officer of Utah County at the highest limit allowed by law.!1' Only in one case did the commissioners raise the salary to the limit, that of the sheriff. All others are $300 under thelmilt et by law. Evidently the Democratic platform builders were not aware of this fact. Now let us compare the salary lists of 1897 with 1911 r Salaries. ' .

Democratic friends, but to any man of woman of business ability it will be yasy to sec which time the citizens of Utah County received the better treatment. An Unjust Complaint. , .

At the present time the people residing in the east end of Wasatch county arc separated from those residing in the west by a range of mountains covering a distance of almost a hundred miles, and in the winter time it is almost impossible for officers of the two ends of the county to get together and transact vital and important business. All patties in Wasatch county, hate united in asking The people to vote for this amendment and we submit the following amendment prepared by them to you for your careiul consideration: Why we should vote for the creation of new counties: The question is naturally before the people of the state at this time, Why should we support the amendment to Section l7ArficleT1, of the constitution providing for the creation of new counties? We believe the following is sufficient answer: The former Uinta Indian reser-- v at ion,. comprising .the. greater of part of , Wasatch county, was under the control and supervision' of the ieueral government at ine tune ot the adoption of the constitution. Since that timethe reservation more than 200,etaomshrdluunuu has been opened to settlement, thus bringing into the market more than 200, 000 acres of land that can be irrigated, besides vast tracts of grazing, forest and mineral lands. These vast tracts of land now have a population, exceeding that of the western or old portion of the county. - . -- for the people on the Indian reservation to reach Jhe county seat" atHeber City during the winter season, without hazard-inhuman .life. It also makes it very expensive at all seasons of the year for the people .of the old Indian reservation to. reach the county seat. The old part of the" country Las always been able to 'maintain county goverhtnent and the new, or eastern part of the county, is anxious and able to maintain r county government of its own. This amendment is jendorsec by both the Democratic and the Republican party platforms o this state, and is favored almost unanimously by the jieople o Wasatch county.1 There is no. provision now for the creation of new counties ,anc in order to comply with the com stitution-,- this - amendment must be adopted before the legislature will have power a to create new North Academy Avenue, Phone H.
