CLIFF MEMMOTT, Editor YOU CAN HELP DETERMINE HOW MUCH YOUR TAX BILL WILL BE IN 1956 . . . Next Tuesday. Dec. 6, 1955, at the hour of 2:30 p.m., property owners of Duchesne' County will have a golden opportunity to help their Board of County Commissioners set the 1956 budget. Thats the date of the annual county budget hearing. Several months ago, when the word went forth that Duchesne County had set a 50.65-mitax levy, which includes the schools share, a wave of protests resounded and a lot of angry words were spoken. There were some unfortunate circumstances involved which made it necessary to hike our 1955 levy for ll school purposes. I am not trying to infer that something could have been done to avert the sharp hike in our tax load. But, this I am sure of not very many of these people who yelled the loudest when the high levy was announced, took a couple of hours time' a year ago and attended the budget meeting of the county. Here Is Your Chance, Mr. Taxpayer of Duchesne County! Next Tuesday the commissioners are seriously urging taxpayers to come to their 1955 budget hearing, Next Tuesday Afternoon, December Sixth, at the Courthouse in Duchesne, at 2:30 Its true we elect men and women to run our country, but unless we occasionally let them know of our desires, they can get into a rut, or become carried away by their own enthusiasm, and a few mistakes will be make. I have a lot of confidence in the men and women running our political offices. However, they are just like you and me human to the extent that they will take it for granted that youre satisfied with the way they are doing things, unless you once in a while take time to put them straight as to your thinking. You are being extended a special invitation to meet with your commissioners next week and talk over money matters with them as they affect the coming year. vEv When a man and woman marry, they become one.

Maybe you, as an American citizen, are a little tired of hearing how lucky you are. Sure, youre thankful to live in a democracy, in a strong, rich country where theres plenty for all, where freedom is an everyday thing, not a forbidden idea to be whispered at night. . . but how much does luck have to do with it? It wasnt luck that brought the Pilgrim Fathers to America, it was their subborn determination to find a better life. . . it wasnt luck that turned the struggling young country into the g richest and most powerful on earth, it was hard work and vision. Above all, it wasnt luck that preserved a democracy for almost two hundred world-shakin- g years. It wasnt luck that made the American way ofiife synonymous with a high standard of free, decent living. Things like that dont happen by luck. They happen because men make them happen because men who believe in freedom, democracy, and a good way of life, work fight and die for them. Now that youve enjoyed your Thanksgiving dinner, and the long nights of winter are approaching, youyy probably feeL like taking a long snooze. Whats wrong with a nap? Nothing, if it's the honest rest of a .nan who is wide awake when he is awake who realizes that his blessings, as an American, are not only his heritage, but his charge', that his luck, hard-fougand hard-wocan be easily lost n, vEv Some 26 million U.

Bat hy reepirthg a Taxes of the Utah Copper Division of Kenne-co- tt Copper Corporation are paid for by the sale of copper produced from low grade ore. In the past 10 years, Kennecott's state and local taxes in Utah totaled 170,500,000, including this year's tax of 110,750,000. Taxes are one of the benefits Kennecott's development of a great natural resource has produced for all Utahns. For example, this year's school tax of $7,049,709 will meet the cost of educating 24,00Q children. Producing copper to pay taxes is a big thing in itself, because the ore at the Bingham Mine averages less than one percent copper. As a result, to pay Kennecotts $70,500,000 tsx bill during the past decade required the removal of 21,e34,820 tons of waste material and the wwnfoy proces sing of 15,271,000 tons of ore. If that ore were loaded into cars it would make a train 1013 miles long, extending from Salt Lake City to Minneapolis, Minnesota. Kennecott pays its taxes by the trainload by producing millions of tons of ore. And taxes by the trainload mean benefits by the trainload -benefits that help bring better living to all Utahns. aatofcbet'e rlfhto-iadad- hw hto risht to drink coffee, tea, beer er hattermCk, whichever aad whew am ha ehaaeea tfi waadecM the esHd friendship yea ten hegj Yaa tea party had taraad ap all af Cspyrfcftt Utah Coppors stato and local taxos sinco 1945 vcro paid for with oro that would mako a train 101 3 miloo long 195S, Vmked haakaa that floQfCatf, Asa Ar wears Teaedtfse Hilpimg to BttUd s Dtntt Vtib |
