Show Protesting Taxpayers Present Petitions to State Representative IF Representative Glen T. And- -, erson, Republican legislator now serving in the State Legislature, accepted 1 petitions bearing the names of some 900 taxpayers at a special meeting held in the American Fork City Hall Tuesday evening. Representative Anderson was presented with the petitions by Mrs. Velma Comer in response to interest of taxpayers in preventing enactment of additional taxes by members of the Utah State Legislature. In part, the petitions said the signers were protesting the raising of taxes and asking that the legislature vote against a tax increase at this time. The petition further protested the delegation of power to raise taxes to of government. the They asked by petition that the legislator deny the pressure groups the right to "destroy our inheritance." They also rebuked the forces that are bound and determined to take our freedom and liberties away through destructive taxation. Discussing the pleas for increased taxation to finance education programs, Mr. Anderson said, "I am a supporter of education; I am not against education, but I feel we have reached the point of killing the goose that lays the golden egg." He emphasized that he felt that taxing units should not go on hitting the group of people of fixed incomes and those who are already overtaxed. He stated that he was opposed to the continual raising of taxes. He continued by saying that he felt we could obtain growth and development without raising tax es by getting the most out of our tax dollars through more judicial use of what we have. In discussing the monumental problem of obtaining educational funds, Representative Anderson cited two well known facts: i i. : l .j lTi.i lai uianus nave inure uuiuieu, 2children These ger families. are educated further than children in many states. Add to this fact, he said, the knowledge that we are a poor state, a low income state and you will recognize the financial problem faced by administrators and legisla- m jn with the "presby two full time paid employees who were working at the state legislature every day. sure" applied Discussing inequities in the educational system, Mr. Anderson noted that these salary disputes and salary scales must be worked out by school people themselves. He also noted that teachers in Utah had received a salary increase every biennum since 1949, with one exception. In the prior legislature, each distribution unit received the set sum of $150 the first year and $350 the second year, although the legislature cannot control how funds are spent. He expressed his appreciation for the presentation of the petition, and said he hoped this ground swell of voter response to taxation would carry to the federal government. Mr. Anderson also defined the position of the Utah taxpayer, putting us 12th in the nation in total taxes, paying $11.94 on each $100 in state and local taxes alone. He asked that the taxpayers keep close contact with their city, county, state and federal government, and particularly, the local school boards who administer such great amounts of public will meet with Lehi taxpayers in a public meeting tonight to discuss their feelings on taxation on the state level. The committee was headed by Val Johnson, Lehi, assisted by several other prominent residents of North Utah County. Representative Anderson expects to have the petitions reproduced and copies made to all members of the House of Representatives in the near future.
