The state tax commission has ? ,' prepared a series of five articles which we consider ' of interest and of &1 value. One will appear each week in the Times. General property taxes in Utah - become delinquent in December. to be Most taxpayers profess painfully aware of the fact. Not so many taxpayers appear realize that if anything is to done in the way of effective 'reduction of the tax bill falling due the following: November. De- fumhfr In thn month' when it " i rto V .i "V should be done. Yet it is in December that the program tor public expenditures by counties, cities and towns for the following year is made up. their School districts make up ...annual program or budgets for the fiscal year beginning July each June. If the expenditures are on the program so made up, the money will, in all probability, be spent. And the chief, i not the only cities, way in which counties, towr.3 and school districts may raise funds to pay for such expenditures Is through the general property tax. . The programs fixed in December and June, therefore, fix the levies which are collected the following November. It is useless to hold September declaim mass meetings and against tax levies when the money has already been spent. - It is a waste of time to , tax reduction In the asses-- J. sed valuation of property. If the ".expenditure has been made a remeans duced assessed valuation simply an increased levy. But it is very much worth before while to study budgets 'hpy are approved. And it Is time well spent for rroiprty owners to meet with their representatives in public office and determine what money should be spent the coming year. In May the taxpayer receives a notice from the county treasurer of the valuation which has been placed on his property for taration purposes. He may protest to the county board of equalization. If the assessor is capable . and conscientious, the taxpayer will usually learn he Is assessed on the same baBis as his neighbors, and his protest is without valid ground. In September comes the tax bill from the county treasurer. The taxpayer may be sorely tried to find the money to meet the obligation. But, if he objects, it will be only to learn that it is too late to do anything about it. But perhaps before this, late f in July, he may have urged the to reduce their local officials levies, only to find that more than half the current taxes have already been spent and the re-mainder, in all probability has been obligated. Is Is the situation hopeless? it entirely beyond the power of V the taxpayer to regulate? On the contrary, It is within his control. Furthermore, ample opportunity is given every taxpayer to assist in fixing the amount of taxes to be paid in his community. Of course, the law does not " permit the individual taxpayer to fix the amount of his own taxes to the extent of compelling others to pay the taxes he should pay; nor does it allow an individual to escape the payment of a tax duly levied, the benefits ,1, pt ' f Notice to Candidates We wish to call your attention to rule IS in the first issue of the Helper Times' campaign, which reads as follows: There will be several big prizes awarded, besides a 10 per cent cash commission to all ACTIVE non-priwinners, i it Is distinctly understood that" In the event ANY candidate becomes INACTIVE, falling to make a weekly ca.ih report, he or she will, at the discretion of tha management, become disqualified and ther-bforfeit all right to a prlie or commission. , r y .S-vjt- Dance Tonight; Benefit Shows Given Thanksgiving Eve Pantry y Two charity functions will be given during the week, with the proceeds of both events contributed to the Carbon; .county Emergency relief fund. Tonight, a Pantry dance will be given at the Rainbow Gardens dance hall, sponsored by the Benevolent Order of Elks and the Loyal Order of Moose. The admission fee has been designated as a dollar's equivalent in groceries or foodstuffs .which will be distributed- among the needy families of the local district. However, if the admission price is paid with cash, the money will be spent for the purchase ' of foodstuffs. Expenses of the dance, which will be held to a minimum will be covered by donations from the local clubs and lodges of Helper and Price. Residents from all parts of the county are expected to participate in! (the pantry dance, and the poor of the county will benefit from the proceeds. On Thanksgiving eve, the three theatres of the county, will give benefit shows for the aid of tha Wm.

Porter Given Official Count Majority For Council Seat M. O. An official check on the election ballot returns made by the City Council in their regular meeting of Thursday revealed no material changes in the standing of the candidates. The results remain the same as those given November 5, with one exception. J. S. Edwards, Independent candidate for four-yecouncilman, received 120 vote instead of 220 as previously recorded. The error in came through a mistake addition. The single vote victory whi-jM. O. Porter, Democratic, pelled over James Galanis, incumbent, for election to the seat of two-yecouncilman was found ai correct when tabulated officially. While Mr. Galani3 did not file any protest against the unofficial returns, it was easily possible an error could have been made where the result were so close, and thus change the standing of the two aspirants to the council. Voters at the recent municipal elections gave Mr. Porter 339 votes to 338 for Mr. Galanis. Councilmen are considering the purchase of an automatic stoker for the City hall.

The committee is composed of B. H. Hyde chairman, Allan Halverson, Mrs. E. H. Thomas, Glen Ballln-ge- r and R. A. Nllson.
