Many Utah school districts have about reached their limit of bonded indebtedness. This is already true in the cases of Salt Lake City, Ogden Alpine and Provo. $2,000 Operation of the homestead exemption act, which has already passed both houses of our legislature and been denied a reconsideration, would decrease the assessed valuation of almost every Utah ed school district by one-four- th to one-hal- f. School bonds must be paid. So must the school teacher. Present educational standards must be maintained. With such decreased valuations as now loom for most school districts, only enough taxes will be collected to retire bonds. The next step would be to pay school teachers in uncashable warrants. Chicago teachers learned to their sorrow that worthless warrants will buy neither food nor clothing. Utah is justly proud of her educational standards. Those standards cannot be maintained by bankrupting school districts or starving the teachers. We think a $2000 homestead exemption is too much. - (By U. S. P. A. Service) Passage by the senate of bills increasing individual income and corporation franchise taxes and speeding up of liquor control legislation in the lower house outstanding activities of lawmakers during the fifth week of the twenty-firs- t Utah Legislature. The income tax measure as it went to the house for consideration included a $50 property tax offset or exemption, with $1000 exemption for a married person; $500 exemption for a single person, and $200 exemption for each dependent. Rates are fixed at 2 per cent on the first $1000 of net taxable income; 3 per cent on the next $1000; 4 per cent on the next; 5 per cent on the next, and 6 per cent on all income in excess of $4000. The corporation income tax was (Please Turn to Page Four) the state's bonded debt. "Permanent recovery," he said, "must await the more stable returns from products of the mine, the factory, the flocks and herds, and the farm, orchards and fields." In the light of these statements by His Excellency, surely our legislators will not attempt to levy further taxes, be they of the property .income, franchise, sales or excise variety, except for the purpose of permitting Utah to fully participate in whatever' program of Social legislation, the national government may devise.
