A campaign of investigation has been on in the state of Utah for some months, mainly conducted by the State Farm Bureau This organization is speaking for the farmers of the state and started in to secure a 25 per cent reduction in the assessment of farm property. As a part of their campaign they have been active in bringing pressure to bear upon public officials and especially upon schoo. boards and school officials to make every effort to reduce expenditures and thereby make it possible to reduce taxation. Speaking for the farmers, their efforts along the line of economy have met with a hearty response and their educational campaign has been quite effective. The constitution of the state provides that all property shall be assessed equally. Closer analysis of the actual assessment on farm property, which in the main represents only a fraction of the as sessed valuation of the state, shows that it is now assessed far be low full value. The demand is being made in Oregon that farm property be assessed at only 50 per cent of its cash value, while all other proper ty is to be assessed I 00 cents on the dollar as the laws in some statei require. As a matter of practical experience, full value tax law:, are dead letters" in every state having them. Like other property, such as livestock, orchards and timber lands, their full value and cash value is very variable, depending upon the market demand. In Utah, as in some other states, an effort will be made to enac and secure the adoption in the legislature or by direct vote of the people of what is known as a graduated income tax. It is doubtfu if any western state having large undeveloped resources and great natural wealth that depends upon outside capital and investment fo; development, will seriously consider enacting a state income tax oi top of a federal income tax, internal revenue taxes and state and local property taxes, and in many cities occupation taxes. The federal taxes falling upon all states alike, do not discriminate against cauital in any one state, as a state income tax would do. x A tariff of 2 cents a pound which enables the beet sugar industry to exist and meet foreign competition saves the American people much more than 2 cents a pound over what they would pay if our domestic sugar supply should be wiped out of existence by foreign sugar produced with cheap labor. LAZY VOTERS. The greatest danger to American institutions lies in apathy of conservative voters who, by failing to vote, allow a s mall minority to inflict its will on the majority of the people. In many primary elections from 15 to 20 per cent of total registered voters choose candidates to go on tickets at general elections. The same procedure takes place in regard to initiative measures placed on the ballot. Particularly is this true where unusual taxation measures come up at special elections, those who have pecuniary interest in the measure vote for it and thus a minority of registered voters will load a city, county or state government with a burden of debt which all must pay. Every citizen should see that he is properly registered and go to the elections and vote, as a matter not only of good citizenship but as a business proposition. The average business man would be most indignant if the charge were made that he allowed third parties to contract debts in his name and then objected to paying them. What is the difference if a business man allows himself to be loaded with a burden of tax debt simply through his negligence or laziness in failing to go to the polls and fulfill his duty as a citizen in voting for sound men and measures? ENFORCE THE LAW. The headlight law which requires autos to be equipped with certain devices to prevent the glare of the headlights is being violated in numerous instances of late. The regulation requiring a tail light i3 also being violated. In coming down the canyon Monday night the writer passed two cars which had no headlight device whatever and the glare of their lights made it both difficult and dangerous to pass. Another car passed did not have any tail light. Here was three instances of a violation of law within a few miles. These offenders should be brought to justice even if the authorities have to employ a motorcycle cop to chase them down. This law was passed to eliminate accidents as much as possible and it is to the interest of every driver of a car to insist on its full forcement. Nephi Times-News. SANITY BRINGS PROSPERITY. Warren H. McBride, president of the Industrial association of Plan as San Francisco, in summarizing the effect of established in the building trades in San Francisco, says that the result is highly successful. Facts and figures show that the building trades mechanic In San Francisco is at least 10 per cent better off today than at any time since 1913. Steady work is more plentiful than for years. From 1913 to 1921, because of strikes, resulting unemployment and lack of confidence of the public, there was far less steady work for building trades mechanics than at the present time. Labor efficiency has increased from 0 to 15 per cent over due to obligation of rules and regulations designed to limit output and curtail efficiency. Thus the public, the worker and the employer benefited by the establishment of the American Plan in San Francisco. 1 1918-1919-19- DO WE WANT STATE SOCIALISM?

I believe that the public journal is a public trust; that all connected with it are, to the full measure of their responsibility, trustees for the public, that acceptance of lesser service than the public service is betrayal of this trust. I believe that clear thinking and clear statement, accuracy and fairness, are fundamental to good journalism. I believe that a journalist should write only what he holds ii his heart to be true. I believe that suppression of the news, for any consideration other than the welfare of society, is indefensible. 1 believe than no one should write as a journalist what he would not say as a gentleman; that bribery by ones own pocketbook is as much to be avoided as bribery by the pocketbook of another; that individual repsonsibility may not be escaped by pleading anothers instruction or anothers dividends. I believe that advertising, news and editorial columns, should the alike serve best interests of readers; that a single standard of helpful truth and cleanness should prevail for all; that the supreme test of good journalism is the measure of its public service. I believe that the journalism which succeeds best and besl deserves success fears God and honors man; is stoutly independent, unmoved by pride of opinion or greed of power, constructive tolerence but never careless, patient, always respectful of its readers but always unafraid; is quickly indignant at injustice; is unswayed by the appeal of privilege or the clamor of the mob; seeks to give every man a chance and, as far as law and honest wage and recognition of human brotherhood can make it so, an equal chance; is profoundly patriotic while sincerely prompting international good will and cementing world comradeship; is a journalism of humanitrt of and for todays world.

Occasions arise, however, where certain American industries cannot meet foreign competition which has the advantage of cheaper wage and working conditions than obtain in this country. It is essential that certain of our basic lines of industry be saved from extermination by ruinous foreign competition. In such a case it is necessary to furnish tariff protection to an essential industry American beet sugar is in this class. The domestic supply of sugar saves us from being at the mercy of the foreign producer. While the total crop is far short of being sufficient to supply our needs, it is large enough to furnish competi tion that stabilizes the market and assures a reasonable price to the American consumer.
