The Times, Vol. 20, No. 41. w FAVORABLE FORA HEW POST OFFICE Approximately $75,000 To Be Appropriated For A New Federal Building to Be Constructed at NephL Prospects Washington, Oct. 4. that an appropriation of approxia for postoffice at mately $75,000 Nephl, Utah, will be included in the federal building bills to come before congress in December are exceedingly good, it was learned here today. The matter was taken up with the treasury department officials by Senator W. H. King, and he received assurances that the Nephi building would be given precedence over a number of other projects. ' The site of the Nephi structure already has been purchased by the government and the next step toward construction will come when committee the' interdepartmental on the building program meets, which will be within the next two or three weeks. That body will make recommendations to congress in regard to the various building projects for which appropriations should be made at the session starting next December. With both the postoffice and treasury department officials behind the Nephi project, there is little chance of its being left out. This means that if the building act is passed according to schedule, it would receive the president's signature early in January. With the full amount needed then available, bids could be advertised for within a few weeks, and there would be a very good chance that construction work could be started early, in the coming summer. Amendment No. 4 Relating To Taxation of Mines Discussed By GEORGE H. RYAN, Mining Engineer and Chairman, Legislative Committee on Tax Revision Valuation of metal mines for taxation purposes cannot be fixed by usual methods because neither the value nor the extent of the ore can be determined by any practical method, ncr can we ascertain in advance of production the probable cost of placing the minerals into channels of trade. A constitutional amendment was passed thirteen years ago stating that "all metalliferous mines and mining claims shall be taxed on some multiple or submultlple of the net annual proceeds thereof." To the legislature was left the fixing of the multiple as well as the definition of net proceeds. , Since 1919 the value of metal mines has been determined by multiplying net proceeds by three and against the value thus determined the regular general property tax levies have been applied. This is a makeshift plan at best and its only defense is that In some cases it approxl mates the value arrived at for com puting the federal income tax. Originally the mining interests did not wish the multiple written into the constitution because of the uncertain result, instead they preferred to trust the legislature to fix the multiple. This trust has been kept and despite repeated attempts to do so there has been no change In the multiple from, that first adopted. More recently the mining inter ests have been using every effort to secure a definite guarantee to perpetuate the present system by having the multiple of three written into the constitution. These efforts have failed and Instead the legis lature has proposed to open the way for a more fair and equitable system after January 1, 1935. This change is being fought by some of the operators, particularly those who are taxed at low rates under the present system. They are no longer willing to trust the legis lature. . Experience has demonstrated the inequity of this method. We hear at all times the statement that if theftate Is to prosper and advance, we must make conditions attractive for outside capital to tome in and develop our natural resources and that excessive and unequal taxation Is the worst deterrent to investing capital. This could be done only is if the proposed amendment passed and the way opened for a 'fair and equitable system which will apply the cardinal rule of tax (Contiued on Page Five) Mrs. Angus Haynes, Mrs. Geo Howarth, Mrs. George Golden and Amos Irons spent Sunday In Beaver the guests of Bert Swindlehurst and family.

Monroe Whiting Is One of Juab Valley's Diversified Farmers While the majority of the farm ers of Juab valley get their livelihood from one of three things wheat, sheep or cattle the editor of The Times-New- s had the pleasure of visiting the property of a man who for the past thirty years has made his living from an entirely different line of work that of raising fruits and vegetables. Monroe Whiting, a pioneer In truck gardening raises a variety of fruits and vegetables, which includes apples, strawberries. apricots, peaches, raspberries, black raspberries, dewtomatoes. Some of Mr. berries, Whiting's strawberries are the everbearing variety. In going over Mr. Whiting's property we find that he has about 90 Jonathan apple trees, loaded with good apples, with very few Infested. He also has 3 acres of strawberries, an acre of raspberries, and a good acreage of various other fruits. He is assisted in the fruit and vegetable growing by his sons, who have been assisting him since they were very small. Mr. Whiting supplies a great ma jority of the Nephi people with their fruit, and Is quite evident that more farmers could make a livelihood out of this type of farm-- Ing, as during the past few years there has been hundreds of carloads of fruits brought into our community by outside growers. Nephi Drug Announces Week End Special The Nephi Drug is announcing a special for Saturday and Sunday, which should attract the attention of the buying public. A pint of Sunfreze for 20c or a quart for 39c. The Times-New- s urges that the buying public read the advertisements, and take notice of the real money saving bargains. It depends upon the amount of business that the ads bring in, whether or not the merchants continue to advertise, so It Is up to the subscribers of The Times-New- s to support the advertisers of this paper, so they will continue to advertise, and consequently benefit themselves by getting the bargains that are advertised. The only thing that worries June Kendall since the old porch In front of his place of business has been removed. Is that perhaps some of his customers may not be able to find his place of business. Anyhow, It Is a big improvement in that part of the city. The front of the building has received a cat of paint, and June states that he is figuring on having an attractive sign painted on the front of the building. |
