They also present an array of facts and figures that will leave no doubt in the mind of any intelligent man or Woman who has the real welfare of the community at heart, that their attitude in the matter is strong and well taken. The statement referred to goes on to explain that unless .the bonds are voted they have no other alternative than to raise very appreciably the present tax, in order to take care of work already contracted for by the outgoing Board, And which, s now well under way, so much in fact that it is absolutely imperative that it be finished in order that the roads made efficient to the demands imposed upon them. The startling feature of this statement however lies the fact that it shows . beyond "preadventure of a doubt that the whole matter can be taken care of under the present tax levy, and that not one cent extra will be assessed against the It was discovered that there was being levied by the county, independent of the levy for county road purposes, a three mill State Road Tax, and that the proceeds 'from this in excess of that required for maintainance of the Sta.e Roaijn Juab County, was being accumulated in a State Fund, and will be available for improving the State roads, in the county only as the State Officials might designate and regulate now in force will allow of it being used for no other purpose than for surfacing 4he State Road. It was learned also that the State Roa irough the county has been designated as a Federal Highway and as such the Federal Government would pay half the cost of hard surfacing it if .the County and State would provide the other half of the expense. We, are also informed, say the commissioners, that if the money which is now available from the gov ernment is not immediately accepted that Juab County would lose the ap propriation and that it would revert to some other county of the State that was prepared to meet the stipulated conditions. It was found that the three mill State Road tax above referred to will amply take care of the interest on the bonds, create a sinking fund to take care of the principal when the bonds mature and leave a safe margin for the maintainance of the road and for any possible temporary decrease which is hardly expected to occur in our assessed valuation. This three mill tax on our present assessed valuation will provide approximately $50,000 annually, one half of which will take care of the bonds and balance going toward caring for the paved part and the remainder of the State Road through the county. If the see fit to vote for the bonds there will be no additional levy of taxes for road purposes, unless our assessed valuation decreases more than 25 per cent which is hardly to be expected, in fact it Is quite reasonable to expect that within a very few years our assessed valuation will very much increase. If the bonds are voted down under existing conditions the county will be compelled to raise the present county road fund tax to an amount double what it is at the present time, and such Increase will be necessary A tax once for a number of years. put on is usually very hard to discontinue, and Judging the future by the past it is quite possible that If this additional levy is made It will become a permanent feature for many years to come. The commissioners go on to say however, that, the people are the Judges and that their decision next Tuesday will settle the tax-paye- rs tax-paye- rs matter.

BASEBALL NEWS The County Commissioners are now advertising for ao election for tae authorization of a bond isjsue tor the purpose of obtaining funds to take care of the highway problems of the county, and it is generally recognized throughout the state as one of the most progressive actions that this or any other commission has undertaken in the history of the county. The amount that the county is called upon to raise is 225,000 which will go to meet a like amount contributed It is a well known fact that the corporby tne national government. ate interests represented in the county are paying at least 40 per cent of the present taxs and that but 60 per cent of the whole amount is s. The total amount to be assessed against the individual expended in Juab County is 450,000 divided as follows: the government 225,000, the railroads and other corporate interests 90,000, 135,tfO0 or a little more than oue third and the individual In otaer words Juab County is going to possess its of the whole. self of the purchasing power of approximately one half million dollars or an expenditure of a paltry 135,000, and to make the proposition doubly attractive, we understand from those w'ao are familiar with the financial conditions of the county, that this can be done without Now if such is the one cents increase of taxation can, you beat it. case, and we have been submitted proof that it is, the following should be of a highly satisfactory nature to the far seeing and wide awake tax payer.
