Vtah 84101 nearer IPvesg VOLUME 65, NUMBER PBG88 BEAVER, UTAH 84713, THURSDAY, AUGUST 22, 1968 34 WM This is certainly a wonderful world and, of aJl wonderful the places in the world, the United States is without question the most wonderful place. Anyone who might doubt that statement had only to look at the front page of Wednesday's Salt Lake Tribune to be enlightened. There, right out in front of everybody was the headline and the story telling how the Russian army has invaded Czechoslovakia with the aid of troops from East Germany and Poland which, to anyone more than forty years old brought back memories of the beginning of World War II when some 29 years ago next month the armies of Mr. Hitler invaded the Czeckoslo-vakia- n area with the aid from the Italians under IL Duce Surely this should bring the awakening to those who wistfully insist that the Russian Communists only want peace and with the rest of the world. One thing about those who want the Communists to want peace though, they don't really care what the Communists want or what the Communists do, all they want is for the world to believe that the Communists want peace. A prime example of those who want the Communists to want peace is to be found in the lower right hand corner of that front page where a group of people are pictured with the following cutlines telling what they are as follows: "Young men associated with National Mobilization to End the War in Vietnam get in shape for what leftist groups say will be demonstrations when Democrats convene in Chicago to nominate candidates." What is it they say about youth? Too bad its wasted on kids? Do you suppose there is a "Let's get out of Czeckoslovakia" group practicing their manuvers in Russia getting ready for the national party conventions? ... . ....... I have a question. The new hooch law which will be voted upon by the electorate this fall has a schedule of licenses for places selling booze which calls for a license fee based on 1 percent of the gross volume of business done by the store. It also calls for a minimum license fee of $400 per year and a maximum fee of $ 1 5 00 per year. My question is, "How come?" The $400 minimum is sort of a strain on my understanding but I wouldn't kick up a fuss over it but how come the $1500 maximum? I always knew our tax laws favored the wealthy but this is the first time I can remember seeing a tax law written which set forth the advantageous position of the big operator in so many words. Mrs. Donna Cartwright, Kindergarten teacher at the Belknap School, says there was good response to the appeal for "dress up" clothes for her students. She says, however, that she needs toys for the children and hopes people will check their old ones and donate what they can to the Kindergarten. To continue with the proposed amendment to the state constitution and the comments as put forth by Utah Foundation: Proposition No. 4 ASSESSMENT OF AGRICULTURAL LAND Shall Section 3 of Article XIII of the State Constitution be amended to provide that land used for agricultural purposes may, as the Legislature prescribes, be assessed according to its value for agricultural use without reguard to the value it may have for other purposes? Intent and Effect The proposed amendment is permissive. If approved, it would have no practical effect until and ment it. The proposed amendment would authorize the Legislature to give land used for agricultural purposes a different property tax status from other classes of real property. Existing Utah constitutional law requires that all tangible property be assessed and taxed "according to its value in money", which has been interpreted to mean the price the property would bring on a free market. Thus, farmland in or near an urban area of high land values should be assessed at a higher value (presumably the market value of the land) than comparable farmland located in a rural area where land values are lower. Under the proposed amendment, however, the Legislature could authorize the assessment of all agricultural land acording to its value for agricultural usage, without regard to its value for agricultural purposes. Arguments For Proposition No. 4 Supporters of Proposition No. 4 argue that the cost of farming should be comparable throughout the Continued on Page Two Date Tour Utah Cities High 13 16 Aug The next two weeks will be Aug a busy time for Melinda Gale, Aug 17 old daughter of Mr. Aug 18 and Mrs. Gilbert Gale of Bea- Aug 19 ver.
