Show worked down to bedrock the plan seems to be to assess the mines until no one else will have to pay taxes it is a fine system and one which is well calculated to persuade capital to undertake the further development of our prospects into mines besides which it is only a theory that it would reduce your taxes and ours politics do not work to that end kill the mine tax amendment such a statute on ou our law books would be to say to capital put your money into some other state dont come to utah if you vote for the amendment you will help do an irreparable injury to greatest industry without benefiting yourself increased revenue does not mean reduced taxes it means a sudden raise in the salaries of a host of officeholders and their henchmen already overpaid above all do not forget to vote against the amendment remember that a failure to vote at all is half as much assistance to those in favor of it as a direct dire et vote for it it is not the history of government that an increase in the income of a state means a reduction in the tax of the masses A rate once made either remains stationary or increases it never recedes A word to the friends of the amendment do not think that you will benefit yourself by voting for it did you ever know of a reduction in your own tax no nia matter ater how much the states income was increased |
