providing for exchanges of between the gohei government ament and private owners and originally suggested the recent smoot law which authorizes exchanges with the states when desirable the law under the provisions of which more than why wh y S such etc h great G re I 1 interest te t i do you know why members of the state board of equalization are using money and time belonging to ito the state of utah to push their pet measure the amendment of article 13 of the state cons titu alica they are not required by LAW to lobby bills through the legislature or to participate in a campaign at the expense of the taxpayer then there must be OTHER reasons for their activity there ARE other reasons and all of them are not in the amendment some of them are OUT of tho the amendment but IN the present constitution section 11 of the constitution contains several of the reasons and you will not find section 11 in the amendment this section of the constitution permits county commissioners and county assessors Asse sors ELECTED by you to handle LOCAL taxation according to the men who are so busy bugy in support of the amendment this is wrong they believe the state board of equalization should handle ALL your taxation that county assessors should be APPOINTED by the board instead of ELECTED by you that county commissioners are not fit to have jurisdiction over local taxes and should therefore be subordinate to the state board in all tax matters that the members of the state board should continue to be APPOINTED not elv elected eted that members of the board should have LARGER SALARIES and section 11 must be repealed before all these things can be accomplished these are some of the reasons why the board is so greatly interested the board protests its anxiety to inform the public then ask it to give you the exact language ot of tho the official reports in which these changes are recommended if the board will not give it to you wb WL WILL the board and its friends have already given FOUR different reasons for their great desire to have DIFFERING rates of taxation on various clas classes ses of property don dont you believe it would have been a good way to inform the public if they had put the reasons into the amendment itself you like to know JUST WHAT YOU ARE VOTING ON the board manifests distress because mines are being taxed on the same basis as other property it complains that the minos mines are not paying as much taxes as they would be if they were paying more taxes but has the board told you why it is collecting from you for STATE PURPOSES ALONE MORE this year than last where doss does this excia money go it is MORE MONEY than triple taxation of mine proceeds would have yielded the state this year more than twice as much why was not that used to reduce taxes on the homes farms etc about which the board says it is so solicitous Is part of it to be used for the further information of the public do you wish lower taxes on homes farms and other property then dont give officeholders any MORE money to SPEND no matter where it comes from even though it comes from mines you dont reform a spendthrift by increasing HIS ALLOWANCE you must CUT IT DOWN dont let them thein tell you they cant reduce your taxes without raising somebody else because IT IS NOT TRUE make your public officers high and low WORK AT THEIR JOBS instead of junketing all over the country at your expense make them discharge their USELESS HELP who fatten on YOUR MONEY make them get you a days WORK VORK for a days w wage e when they spend public funds make them OBEY THE LAW and observe their OATHS OF offis OFFICE you will never get taxes REDUCED by giving givin th the officeholders MORE TAXING POWER this amendment may get THEM more money it will not SIVE SAVE any for you if they really wished to reduce your taxes they could have done so long ago and they done dode it the constitution is your safeguard 81 DONT LET THEM TAKE IT AWAY FROM YOU anu CHAPTER ra AMERICAN
