CIRCULATION 2200 OVER The Amendments Some considerable study of the three constitutional amendments to be voted on Tuesday, their effect upon the state, county, and city, if adopted, or rejected all with this idea in mind : Utah state and Utah county stand upon the threshold of a great industrial and agricultural advancement, persuades The Daily Herald to urge the adoption of ALL THREE AMENDMENTS! We know, of course, that our friends of the farm bureau have urged the adoption of Amendment No. 2, and the rejection of Amendments 1 and 3. We remember full well that certain large corporate Intetesta strenuously reject Amendment 2, but The Daily Herald looks at these amendments not from the single viewpoint of the farmer, nor through the eyes of the large owners of "intangible" wealth. The Daily Herald has tried to study the possible effects of the amendments on ALL the people, the people of the city store and workshop as well as those who labor in the field ; the people who have their money invested in property the tax assessor can see as well as those who have their money tied up in property that can be, and more often is, hidden from the assessor's eyes. Taking it from that point of view The Daily Herald urges the adoption of ALL THREE AMENDMENTS! And this is why : AMENDMENT NO. 1 This amendment permits the contraction of debts to 2 per cent of the taxable of one per values in the state, an increase of cent. It very frankly spells a larger bonded indebtedness for the state; that is true, of course, and in some minds there is an abnormal fear of indebtedness. But, a state, or city, or county, rapidly growing must go into debt deeper than a state, city, or county that is not upon the threshold of its first period of great expansion. The state and this county need better roads, more roads, u we are to attract a larger influx of tourists and svt tiers. These go along the d highway, and not oor poor roads. jlore than that, however, we need good roads for the industries Utah already has and will h:ive in the coming few years, industrial AND agricultural. Good roads, which road-- , reduce the hauling costs of means farmers. They widen the trading area of every merchant. They tend to increase attendance at churches. They bring more people together more frequently, which is good for the welfare of the people. And, let us remember, our state is far behind the more progressive states in the matter of good roads. Some day, and soon, these roads must be improved. The past summer witnessed the spectacle of the state being financially unable to aid counties in road building. Had not the federal government stepped in and assisted no new road paving jobs would have been started. If the state is in the same shape next year, and there appears little reason to believe it will be otherwise if this amendment is rejected again the state will have to depend upon the United States government to help Utah county build roads. And it is our firm conviction that not a road will be started in Utah county next spring! AMENDMENT NO. 2 This amendment is favor- feMby the farm bureau, but is opposed by certain large corporate interests. The Daily Herald urges its read- y&p to vote for this amendment, the most important to the" public welfare of all three. It means nothing more rth8jfc&t you give your assessor your consent for him to taX;whaff, call "intangible" wealth ; that you give Jlim yoiiir coilSent to tax certain nropertv hitrher than :'SptZsrV.I?or example: He may tax your business prop- TjMgher than your HOME, which, according to our Itttpon of justice, is the best protection for the HOME, trie best assurance that more persons will own their own homes, a most desirable thing for the city and the ed one-ha- lf nard-surtace- election of the Terms DAILY AVERAGE firBrwmTwWTW.- of - -- hand-to-mou- District No. ' Either pay legislators nothing, and make it a pureor pay them adequatelv-a- nd ly honorably-jobdemand -your money's worth, both in point of attendance and results.

SENATOR KING IS THE FRIEND OF THE MINING INDUSTRY. He helped to prepare the bill dealing with the taxation of mines and relating to the development of the same. This provision saved the mine operators of the United States hundreds of millions of dollars annually taxes. Upon Senator King's recommendation, a Utah man, Mr. James Dick, was appointed to administer this provision of the law, and Senator King aided in drafting the rules and regulations of the Treasury Depart-me- Con-ove- r. The second amendment will permit a state income tax. This, if we elect qualified, efficient public officials, will result in a larger collection of tax money while at the same time it will permit a lower collection from owners of homes and farms. It will compel "big business" to pay more than it now does, and will allow "little business" to pay less. This is our interpretation of the possible effects of the adoption of Amendment No. 2 ; whether it is so realized depends upon who you elect to the branch of your state and 1 -.r-.-r IK--Utah's Man of nd twenty-one-thousa- state.
