As the state constitution now stands it provides that all property including both tangible and intangible, must be assessed at uniform and eual rates for taxation purposes. While this may appear to be a fair Jbasis it has been proved by long experience in this and ail other states to result in the most inequitable distribution of the tax burden. The constiution exempts mortgage loans and stocks completely and as a result all intangible property is thus placed in a class where it cannot be brought to the tax rolls. Consequently, while the present constitution may appear to require a uniform and equal rate of assessment for all property, it is limited in actual effect to tangible property such as farms, homes, livestock, etc. Less than one and per cent of the states valuation in 1929 was intangible proparty though it is well kpown that there are hundreds of millions of intangibles owned In Utah. We may say, therefore, that for all practical' purposes the intangible class of property in Utah is not assessed at all. This is due to the fact that the greater part of intangibles are exempt by our present constitution; secondly to the fact that what remains is principally money in the banks and this is not assessed because the tax rates are so high the property cannot pay them without being copfisticated. Opponents of the amendments are attempting to tell the people that our present constitution requiring the full taxation of intangibles should be enforced. This is a false argument recognized as such not only by taxi"" authorities of this state but of every other state in the union which has attempted to operate tinder the uniform rule. It cannot be done. There is nothing so complicated about the nroposed amendment to justify the thick smoke screen of confusion and doubt behind which the op ponents of tax reform have attempted to cover their activities. The changes proposed by the second amendment upon which the people will vote are simply to continue to tax intangible property as we are naw doing but repeal all the exemptions granted to intangible property and give power to the legislature to elassifv.and tax intangibles at low rfftes either as property or to tax the income received from The selection is left to the legislature to do one or the other but not both and if the income is taxed then intangibles cannot again be taxed as property. . . There are 34 states doing what Utah is proposing to do bv this amendment, namely, place a portion of the tax load . Continued on last page one-ha- lf it . j!

In comapny with his little brother, aged 6, the unfortunate youngster had just left the school bus on the highway and walking down the lane toward his home, when he found a dynamite cap. The boys surveyed it, and decided it was a whistle, Merle tried to blow it, but being unsuccessful, struck it with a rock to remove whatever was clogging it. The resultant explosion nearly cost him his life and made him a cripple for life. His little brother was only slightly injured. The mother of the boys heard the detonation of the dynamite cap follow-- , ed by screams. Telling her husband to investigate, I the latter found his sons over in a meadow near the lane, both in agonizing pain. He hurried to the L. C. M. hospital with them, where the younger lads injuries were found to be superficial, and after they were dressed he was able to go home. The hand of Merle was dressed, but the extent of his eye injury was not fully determined. As a safety measure the little one was taken to Salt Lake yesterday to be examined by a specialist. It is known that a fragment of the cap entered the optic.. How the dynamite cap came to be in the lane is unknown, but children of this mining district have often been found playing with them.
