D.

"From my recent about the state," 1 have become conMr. McKay eald, tripe vinced that taxation is probably ttfe most serious domestic problem - lacing the farmer. The farmers regard government very desirable, very necessary state of organised society which yields its profits to every individual who participates In the benefits conferred through government. He recognizes that it costs money to conduct a government, to provide the schools and roads, the legal machinery and the police.

While the farmer is perfectly willing to pay for as-t- hs ae good schools state and can afford, to have roads which can be paid for, to enjoy the many other conveniences afforded by government, he believes most sincerely that under the present system of taxation the costs are not paid In proportion to the benefits received, that there are many inequalities in the method of raising taxes and In the many wastes and duplications 'manner In which the money from taxes is disbursed "In my recent trips during our present membership campaign for the State Farm bureau I had mv attention drawn to the following examples of inequality "A state official having a of about 14000 owns a little farm. salary He pays taxes of 100. His neighbor is a doctor and the official s children go to school with the doctor's children Both families enjoy the same measure of benefits from government, municipal and state. The doctor last year mads fees totaling of which he collected tn cash 17,. 000. That doctor paid Just 17 In taxes for the support of the local and state governments. eom-mun- ty 4 This Buffet made of oak.

He did not pay even a poll tax to the local or state government. It is my earnest and sincere belief that the farmers of Utah want to see an income tax enacted Into law. At a tax conference, to be held as soon as possible, burepresentatives of inthe county farm reaus will gather Salt Lake to talk over the proposals for tax changes, and at that time it is highly probable that some form of an income tax law will be presented for consideration. In a questionnaire sent to the county farm bureaus we have asked that those the organizations inform themselves oncome following subjects, and that they prepared to offer concrete suggestions for changes: : 1. Taxes on livestock, personal property and real property in relation to (a) maiket value, (b) earnings, gross and net 2. Taxes on merchandise, utilities, factories, banks, bonds, stocks and credits. mines and urban real estate in relation to (a) market value; (b) earnings, gross and net. "t. Tax expenditures tn relation to efficiency and economy, (a) school district, (b) county government, including courts; to) state government" -- Why not come in this week?
