Anyone with common sense does know that a married couple with an income of $1200 a year will spend every penny of it for necessities of life they will pay the sales tax on every dollar of it; Lowering the exemptions below $1200 would mean a hardship, it would mean skimping somewhere within the family budget, and resulting in fewer dollars spent with the community business houses. I am a home owner, and believe in relieving the homesteads of taxation, but I am not willing that 2-c- this tax should be placed upon the backs of those least able to pay. In plain words, I do not want to have any exemption on my homestead tax, if that tax must be shifted upon the low income groups by lowering of exemptions on incomes that are already too low. The Spoils System If I were in the Legislature I would do my best for the elimination of our awfully rotten political spoils system. We shall not expect good government in this state until something is done to correct the existing evils in our political system. The present legislature has dillydallied for the past two months, and accomplished nothing. All because of the rotten spoils system. I do not expect this legislature to enact anything that will amount to anything for the peoples benefit. The reason the spoils system. Liars in Politics I never expect to go to the Legislature. I never will even expect to become a candidate. But, bythe gods and little fishes, I am goWishing Our Friends Who Labor the Best of Luck GEO. M. NUTTALL PLUMBING CO. 44 E. 2nd So. Phone 1050 PROVO, UTAH UTAH LAGSTN PROTECTING CIVIL RIGHTS The Utah Conference for Human Welfare this week addressed an open letter to the Utah State Senate Sifting committee asking a public hearing and early action on Senate Bill 70. The letter was dated March 1, and was addressed to Senator G. V. Billings, chairman of the sifting committee. It reads: The Utah Conference for Human Welfare, whose purpose Is to increase understanding and cooperation among all racial, religious and ethic groups in the community, at its meeting on Friday, February 17, at the Utah State Art Center, voted to request a public hearing and early action on Senate Bill 70. The bill i3 entitled: An act providing for the equal rights of all persons within the State of Utah in places of public accommodations, resorts, or amusements; and prohibiting discriminations on account of race or color, and for equal rights for citizens in the public school system of the State of Utah; and for equal accommodations of all persons in insurance companies; and to provide penalties for violations thereof. We feel that all liberty-lovin- g citizens must be alert to safeguard the constitutional rights of every minority. If the voice of America is to count m championing democracy before the world we must ourselves have clean hands. Today the Negro citizens of Salt Lake City and Utah, though taxpayers, do not have equal access to facilities and services provided for the general public. In order to guarantee to them, and to other racial groups, these rights, which the Federal Constitution states may not be denied, it is necessary for each state to enact a civil rights bill.
