tho people should know where the Governor and other officIals st stand nd upon state Issues But the coming coining fall fallI I wilt will go on the stump and will advoCate ate the passage of the constitutional amend amendment amendment ment which will enable the state to pay payout payout out om mill of the total revenues of the state for the betterment of the high schools of the state But I want to say now that there will willbe WI be opposition to this tax from the taxpayers of the large cities of the state I feel certain that the vote In Salt Lake Ogden and other largo large cities will willbe be decidedly against the The Tha people of these cities are taxed heavily now to keep up the public school system and are spending thousands and thou thousands thousands sands of dollars to make the schools of itah the best In the country And they will fight the general tax which will nake Ul m pay for the Improvement of the high schools of the state at large And nd therefore It will be up to the tax taxpayers pa payers south of Salt Lake and north of Salt Lake to get out and vote vota for the amendment nt If f they do not then they c but expect the proposition to be Several short
