Two hoaxes;'- Republicans the only party to govern, claiming the Democrats are lacking in constructive statesmanship. Then came Woodrow Wilson. In his first administration he revised the tariff without scandal; gave business the Federal Reserve system, and more constructive measures' than givea by the Republicans in the past fourteen years. Another hoax; Democratic administration means hard times. ;;: Republicanism, they claim, neans prosperity at home and prestige aboard. And what have: we: Serious depres sion at nome and prestige abroad sunk below levels of past history, with thirty nations resenting iis. The party in power is going to send men to Montana to defeat Senator Walsh. Why?. Because he brought aoout a restitution or ; the nation's stolen goods. If Democracv fails to fight an aggressive fight for Walsh and to put the enemy on the off en sive on the start, it should go into the court of moral , bankruptcy and cry lor a receiver. He paid a tribute to Governor Dern as a champion of state and human rights. We must get back to Jeffer- sonian principles. It was not a slip of the tongue that made Hoover say not long ago m the formal address: "The state is not concerned with the individual." He meant it. He had forgotten that the ratification of the constitution was conditioned on the promise of the incorporation of a bill of rights. The Magna Charter of human rights is a rebuke to the president's startling statement. e, the Democrats - must restore confidence in the purpose of government. Restore individual and state rights and give to the people some Democratic hard times in trade for their Republican prosperity. Victory will not come to us on a silver plate. It will only come by an aggressive campaign. Democracy must go onward and we are the ones that must carry on the fight. Like David of old we must don the proven armour and go forth to meet the giant of special privileges and corruption and bring back his political head. Judge George A. Christensen of Price, Democratic candidate for judge of the State Supreme court, was introduced and gave a short talk on the issues of the campaign. Committees on permanent organization, credentials and platform and resolutions were named and the convention adjourned until 1:15 p. m. Upon reconvening, the chairman of the various committees gave their reports, which were adopted.

Democratic Platform Of Box Elder County (Continued from page one.) Washington. We shall no doubt, hear more of the truth later. We commend to the voters of Box Elder County, the proposed constitutional amendments on taxation as this subject is a matter of vital importance to every property owner in the State of Utah. We feel that the proposed constitutional amendments dealing with the filling of legislative vacancies and the removal of the state penitentiary are meritorious and deserve the support of the county. We stand for progressive, educational development and pledge ourselves to take such steps as will safeguard the educational interests of the entire county. We point with pride to the record of our present Democratic officers, T. L. Davis. G. G. Sweeten, Hyrum Boothe, Lewis Jones and W. H. Griffiths, and commend them for the economical and efficient manner in which the affairs of this county have been administered. We particularly commend the record of the County Commissioners in the systematic planning and carrying into effect a road program unequalled in the annals of this county. We mention the completion of the Strevell cut off running from Tre- monton westerly, the improvement of the State Highway from Garland to the Idaho line; the resurfacing of the road from Tremonton to Blue Creek tanks; from Corinne to Promontory; the increased appropriation for the "North String" road from Brigham to Collinston; the building of a new connection from Park Valley to the Strevell road; the increased approprie ation for the Creek road, byroads graded and improved throughout the county. All of which has been together with the many laterals and accomplished with no increase in taxation, so far as county affairs are concerned, but on the contrary with a substantial decrease. We deplore the action of the Republican legislature in the taking from the State Road System the highway running westerly through this county to the Nevada line, and pledge our legislative candidates with the assistance of our county officers to work to replace, on the state road map, a road taking off Nevada line, with the resulting maintenance money which follows from from the ,Strevell highway to the State funds. We pledge our County Commission ers, if elected, to carry through to its finish, a program of a complete County Road System; such system to include, when practicable, an improved road to the Great Bear River Bay Bird Refuge.. We pledge our candidates, if elected, Lucin-Grous- to continue the efficient and economical administrations now being completed by our present county officers. We particularly pledge our candidates, if elected, to devote their full time, where required, to their respective duties during the full tenure or uieir terms. We do not believe that the people of Box Elder County are desirous of paying a heavy tax for the purpose of a county jail (as our Republican friends have pledged themselves to do) to provide comforts and conveniences for county criminals when these same comforts are, of necessity, denied in the homes of those who pay the tax. We do assert, however, that cleanliness and sanitation are necessary and recommend such steps as are necessary to accomplish these purposes. ; We do not believe that it is necessary for the peace and safety of the citizens of Box Elder County that we raise taxes to mirchase more high powered cars and hire additional deputies in the sheriff's department. --o List Of Awards Made At Box Elder Co.

Tremonton, Utah Proposed Constitutional Amendment for the creation of a State Tax Commission and enumerates its duties. The purpose of this proposed amendment is to centralize the propesed tax system and to put into and keep the same in operation. Our present system is so decentralized that six departments collect taxes from eight sources. The B. E. T. A. also favor Proposed Amendments No. 1 and No. 6 and urere the passage of all proposed amend ments. This is the opportune time for" a passage of these amendments for our state expenditures are realtively fixed. The estimated shortage this vear will be about two million dollars. This means either a curtailment of the government's activities which is not probable or an increase in the old rate. The new svstem will no doubt obviate this. Due to the enormous expenditures and labor of shaping these amendments, a failure to pass them will undoubtedly delay another attempt for twenty to thirty years. No. 5 provides Our association is especially concerned with Proposed Constitutional Amendments, Nos. 2, 3, 4, 5,. It is also actively interested in No. 1 and No. 6. We feel amendments two to five are a key to unlock our present antiquated tax system fixed by the f ramers of the constitution. Utah has now become an industrial state and not merely an agricultural one. Our present system was adequate then (1895) but is insufficient to meet the demands of the state now. The above statement is affirmed by the words or acts of four governors of Utah, the State Tax Commission consisting of W. W. Armstrong, S. R, Thurman, and R. E. Hammond, The Farm Bureau, leading business men, tax experts in state institutions, specialists employed by the Federal Government in pur state school survey, the U. E. A. and the a. IS. T. A. The passage of Proposed Constitu tional Amendment No. 2 enables the Legislature of Utah to provide for an eoualization of taxes, by classifying property into two groups, tangible and intangible, and fixing the manner of securing revenue from each. Heretofore intangibles, which formed about one half of our wealth have envaded taxation; thus throwing the burden on percent of our tangibles. Twenty-fiv- e state income has borne all of our tax burdens. Of ,this 98 was derived from tangibles and only 2 from intangibles. Proposed Constitutional Amendment No. 3 provides for a distribution of State school funds. Equality of educational opportunity is the theme song of all educational thought. Consolidation was thus instituted to bring this about in counties: This amendment therefore ,is another step toward statewide equalizaion of educational opportunity. In lieu of the fact that the state compels atendance to school, it is only consistent that the state meet some of the expenses. AmendProposed Constitutional ment No. 4 relates to the taxing of mines. This sets the value of mines on a multiple basis of three for five years, after which time a study1 and trial of the new tax system will enable the Legislature to enact such laws as are' equitable and just (Continued from pace one.) John Smith who resides in the north end of the county as temporary After expressing his appreciation for the honors bestowed, Mr. Smith, among other things, said: "All I know is what I read in the papers with apologies to Will Rogers but according to the papers there was a poisonous political fas bomb thrown m this hall yesterday, one of the type rade m the days of Rutherford B. Hayes and Samuel J. Tilden, and used psrain in the campaign between Jsmes G. Biaire and Grover Cleveland. This gas bomb was at that time outlawed by all political organizations as an in strument too barbaric for' civilized political warfare. Where Jimmie found the old thing I don't know. Why he used it I can't tell unless it is because he had been partaking of the beverage he found so abundantly at the Peach Day carnival and again at the county fair. "I am loath to believe that he has partaken of the beverage which rendered reason irresponsible; but either the fumes of malt, the odor of the wine press or some distressing malady gave birth to tliat gasseous effusion which bubbled and flowed from the rostrum for one solid hour Friday. "When Noah of old had partaken too freely of the cup that cheers and had neglected to arrange his apparael as the custom of the day required, his affectionate and considerate sons, Shem and Peppeth, walked backward that they might not see their father's nakedness and threw a mantle over his postrate form, so in like manner let us in chanty this morning throw the mantle of mercy on the epilogues so recently poured out on this platform. "Now, seriously speaking, we are assembled today, 348 strong for the advantages of our joint wisdom, but inevitably we bring our passions, local interests and selfish views with us. Can perfection be expected- - 'Who ever thinks a perfect piece to see, seeks what ne're is, nor e'er shall be." At the conclusion of the contests, however, we can at least be good sports and like Thomas Lipton we can go home, sell more tea and come back on election day with another Shamrock." The speaker then reviewed briefly some early history of this great commonwealth, showing that none should have special privileges. The welfare of the people was acknowledged to be the object of government. "To these fundamental principles we subscribe today; but as each man's interests are safest in his own keeping, so too. the public welfare is promoted and guarded best by the people themselves," he said. To carry out these ideas, he stated, political parties were organized at the first and this method still continues. "Nothing is more certain than the indispensible necessity of government and it is equallv true that nothing yet devised is more effective in determining the public will with reference to government than party politics. Our allegiance to party should be as firm and consistent as our We should be equally truth- - duct in business or our devotion to The secret ballot method was adopted 299 votes were cast.
