Their solution to the problem was the revision of existing laws and methods of collecting the property tax to assure more equitable valuation. They pointed out that the net taxable income for 1931 was, in round numbers, 18 million dollars, while the taxes assessed on tangible property was 19 mil lion. Consequently calling for a 100 per cent assess ment of the taxable income to replace the property tax. In making this statement, they overlooked the fact that if the property tax were dropped, the in come would increase by a like amount, and it woulc then take only a 50 per cent assessment. Then, too, the income tax brackets could be considerably lowered if the earners of smaller incomes were relievec of the property tax, and the total taxable incomes again increased, decreasing the necessary percentage of assessment Their report passed rather lightly over the sales tax, which is more and more accepted as the ideal basis for all taxation. There is no doubt but that the property tax is gaining great disfavor throughout the country and it is going to be a mighty hard thing to devise laws and methods which will eliminate the injustices now connected with it. SOMETHING IS WRONG A checkup with our local postmaster reveals that for the iast ten days, money orders leaving the Du ehesne Post Office have averaged $400.00 a day. On one of these days, 90 per cent went to one mail order house alone. Turning from these figures to the list of delin quent taxpayers published in the last issue of the RECORD, and noting that practically every businessman in Duchesne is represented, one can begin to realize at least one reason why Duchesne county is nearing bankruptcy. It is indeed unfortunate that the mail order houses are not paying taxes in Duchesne County. If they were, the assessment for those who are able to pay taxes would be considerably reduced. It all goes around in a vicious cycle- We are too short of funds to pay our taxes, and in trying to save a few pennies, we are sending four hundred dollars a day out of the county (this does not include currency or checks) and by so doing, we are just that - much shorter. It is time both the merchants and buying public awakened to this situation and began working to ward its correction. The blame is on both sides. If the merchants were to reduce their prices, clean up their obsolete stocks, and tell their customers in honest words and illustrations what they have to offer, they would have met the buying public half way. The public, for their part, should realize that the privilege of examining merchandise, of having a reliable local merchant ready at any time to make good all claims for his merchandise and of taking their purchases away with them immediately the choice has been made, is of considerable value, often more than offsetting the small difference in price the local merchant asks. And when the purchase has been made, the local merchant turns around and pays part of the money to local heln, local insurance men, freighters and fuel haulers, local producers, local power companies, etc., all of whom join him in PAYING LOCAL TAXES.

Everyone invited. A wedding Dont Let Fire Turn Xmas Joy To Sorrow There was an atmosphere of Christmas everywhere in the Sanford home, where pretty decora' tions of materials had been used profusely. The gifts had been opened, and heaps of paper and tissue had been left near the tree. Sounds of festivity filled the house, and in childish glee little Alice donned a paper costume. Snap! A vicious spark from a short circuit beneath the tree ignited thin tissue! The flames leaped instantly to Alice's flimsy costume and she ran shrieking from the room. Then people woke up. Uncle Jack stuck out his foot, neatly tripping the child onto a rug, into which he rolled her, snuffing out the flames as he protected her face and hair. Dad and Uncle Art reappeared with fire extinguishers that made short work of the fire.
