Decide Election Amendment Seeks Correction Tc State Judge Salary "Freeze" SALT LAKE CITY A "Yes" vote for Amendment Number 7 is being urged to the people of Utah by the press, and the large numbers of civic groups in order to correct a static salary "freeze" which has prevented salary increases to Utah's state judges despite action of the 1945 legislature granting such increases. The amendment was placed on the forthcoming election ballot by an overwhelming majority of both the Senate and the House. The amendment., simply stated, would niake it possible for Utah's District and Supreme Court Judges to re ceive an immediate increase in sal ary rather than to be obliged to wait for, in some cases, as long as eignt years netore authorized in creases will become effective. "Utah's judges actually are the lowest paid in the nation," George i.owe, ugden, president of the Utah liar Association said. "There was no increase in salary for the District Court and Supreme Court judges from 1903 until the 1945 legislature enacted increases. The Utah Constitution, however, is so framed in relation to the judiciary that these raises can be made only upon election of a new judge. As a result, only three judges now are receiving the authorized increases, with 13 District Court Judges and lour or the live supreme Court judges still serving under the 1903 salary scale. For the next eight years, for instance, the chief jus posed to the possible revenue under the minimum education program the amendments would effect. Revenues according to the district dis-trict under the minimum program pro-gram would total approximately $646,600, said Superintendent Mitchell, comparing that total with the anticipated $630,00d possible with receipts from state funds and local taxes for school support and maintenance in 1946-47 if the present metnods of school financing were to be continued. Taking the highest possible levies under the proposed new plan a plan which places the state as guaranteeing up to 75 per cent of the cost of maintenance mainten-ance and operation of a mini mum program of education Involving In-volving an outlay of $3,000 per classroom unit per year prop, erty owners of Alpine District would pay 16.8 mills for scnool support and maintenance, .1 of a mill more than the levy which would be necessary to provide an equivalent program witn continuance con-tinuance of current schol ' finance fi-nance methods. "However," said Supt. Mitchell, Mitch-ell, "if the recommendations of the State Tax Study Committee are carried out, there are other benefits accruing to the taxpayer taxpay-er in the form of elimination of, the county levy for welfare purposes pur-poses and near-elimination of the levy for countyroad maintenance. main-tenance. The county levy for welfare purposes now is 2.5 mills and road levy, now at 1.95 mills, would be reduced to .6 mill," he said. i Thus the comparative total levies for school, welfare and roads under the current and proposed pro-posed plans would be: , Present levy Proposed School Levy 16.7 16.8 County Welfare 2.5 0.0 County Roads 1.95 " 0-6 Totals 21.15 17.4 i "In addition," said Superintendent Superin-tendent Mitchell, "the proposed ! plan guarantees the district a stable source of revenue. State funds meeting 75 per cent of the cost of maintenance and operation of the minimum school program would be guaranteed, guar-anteed, and educational 'opportunities 'oppor-tunities available to children in the Alpine District or any other within Utali would never fall below the minimum standard stand-ard set by law. . . Provided, of course, that Utah voters endorse the proposed amendments." he added. tice of the Utah Supreme Court actually will be receiving less salary sal-ary than Salt Lake City judges, for example." Mr. Lowe pointed out that the proposed amendment will make Utah's Constitution read exactly like the United States constitution in this regard, remove inequalities in judges' salaries and thus correal a plainly unfair situation to most of the judges now serving. The amendment, Mr. Lowe further pointed out, would orevent a recurrence recur-rence of such conditions in the future. "Passage of the amendment," Mr. Lowe concluded, "is not a partisan matter. Utah can, by pass-ins pass-ins this amendment, increase judges' salaries immediately to a point where they will be more nearly in line with current salaries in other offices of responsibility. I am sure the people of Utah realize that a capable judiciary is one of nil nublie trusts. Passage oi Amenameni Number 7 will help assure continuance contin-uance of a high type of justice in the courts of Utah. |
