Morris Godfrey, of Richmond, Utah, at the regular luncheon meeting held at the Midland Hotel . Wednesday night. Preceeding the remarks of Dr. Godfrey, the club was entertained with violin selections by Harry Woodward, Jr., accompanied on the piano by Helen Woodward. J. L. Weidman, acting Tail Twister for the evening, relieved a few of the boys of their surplus shekels. - Dr. Godfrey spoke briefly on Lion growth and accomplishments, reminding club members that the Lions organization was the first service club established. He also stated that the aim of all the various Lion's Clubs was, first, to make of the community a better place to live in and, secondly to better the community citizenry. Throughout the Lions organization there were 15,000 activities undertaken and accomplished last year. In Utah and Idaho Lions Clubs successfully terminated 250 major undertakings according to Dr. Godfrey. Having as its major activity this year the saving of life or "Public Safety", Dr. Godfrey asked the Tremonton Club to get behind this movement and cut down the rapidly rising mortality rate due to preventable accidents. The remedy for traffic accidents is a matter of education as Dr. Godfrey views it and a proper presentation of safety measures in our schools and public places will aid very materially in reducing our annual death list. The matter of helping the blind to Jjfe and a get more enjoyment out ofenact legisLions Club movement to lation to lessen blindness at birth was spoken of by Dr. Godfrey who. savs can be that blindness within the Statemedical greatly reduced thru proper care. .

Boys clubs, girls clubs, womens organizations and farmers and fruit raisers in general had all contributed The women's art department was a show in itself and bespoke the industry of the women who had this department in charge and those who exhibit. ed. Not the least thing in the exhibition building was the beautiful display of flowers that drew liberal praise from everyone that viewed it. Every shed on the grounds was filled to capacity with fine draft horses and dairy cattle, sheep and hogs, many of the pens belonging to the Future Farmers of America. The poultry and rabbit house was also filled to capacity with wonderful specimens. Automobile and implement dealers had their wares placed about the yards in demonstration of modern manufactures in transportation and farm equipment With the concessions, that occupied more space than before with the golf course and Moonlight Gar dens, the spacious Fair Grounds were filled to capacity. Hours were required to view all these things and hundreds of people came all three days and enjoyed them as much the last time as they did on the opening day. ;. President FisTiburn and secretary C.

FAIR AND RODEO . ' Notice Of Republican 25 PERCENT STATE Convention County . Tangible Property Pays 98,6 Percent Of Tax Load Reports Show Why should property which earns only 25 per cent of the income produced in this state pay all of the direct taxes for support of the state, the schools, counties and municipalities? This is a question placed squarely before the voters of Utah as a result of material recently announced by R. E. Hammond, member of the state board of equalization. The best data obtainable on the present distribution of the tax burden show clearly that property in recent years earned only about $70,000,000 average annually while ' the income from personal services amounted to This is based on infor$210,000,000. mation compiled from federal reports, dealing with statistics of various kinds and was obtained by the Utah board of equaliziation from Dr. John C. Watson, director of the bureau of tax. ation and statistics of the Illinois Agricultural Association. Since Utah operates under the general property tax system all of the $20,000,000 paid annually in direct property taxes for the support of the state and its subdivisions is obtained from taxing property. In other words threefourths of the income of the state pays no direct tax for the support of the schools or the state local governments. Furthermore tangible property is carrying 98.6 per cent or almost the whole load while intangibles are allow, ed to escape with the payment of only : about 1.4 per cent. , . In the fact of such startling in- equalities in the distribution of the tax burden it is no wonder that some property has been taxed to the breaking point. It is less wonder that the taxpayer who has been carrying this load should want the tax system changed to distribute part of the burden to intangibles or to income. If the figures released by Mr. Ham-- ; . mond are anywhere near correct they ' still show a condition that is intoler- and one which certainly demands of correction.' If the pro posed constitutional amenamenrewiu . open the way for the legislature to' this great injustice to tan-gible property then they should receive a big majority of voter from the honest and fair minded voters of this state when the constitutional amendments are placed before them next November. :' . . y, Postmaster Postal Errors Willard Scowcrof t Does Shopping In Austin Car Willard Scowcroft, one of Utah's most prominent merchants, attended the Fair and Rodeo at Tremonton Friday and incidently took in he sights of the town in his Austin car. He was first seen at Fishburns Store driving his car into the entrance, circling the post on a tour of window shopping. Our sruess would be that he was per haps looking for some "Never Rips" or some "Blue Pine Coffee. Not satisfied with window shopping he went west down the street and drove into Gephart's store and down the aisle to the meat counter and out again. One customer was heard to , the next say, "Well, I'll be D thing we know they will be driving them things up stairs to bed. Utah Farm Bureau To Support Tax Revision .
