Show Volume Number Tooele, Utah, Friday, October 25, 1968 Seventy-Fou- r Senator Mantes Explains Constitutional Amendments the luncheon meeting Wednesday the Tooele County Chamber of Commerce heard Tooele's State Senator Ernest Mantes explain in detail the five proposed changes to Utahs Constitution. number one is Proposition a resolution proposing to change the constitution to allow for annual legislative sessions. This would provide for a general session on wld numbered years of 60 days and a budget session on even numbered years of 20 At davs. the compensation of legislators. MEMBERS are now being paid $500 a year plus $15 a day expenses while actually in session. Utah ranks 49th, or second from the lowest, among the 50 states in the amount of compensation paid to its legislators. This proposal would increase this amount to $25 per diem plus $15 a day ex)enses and mileage as provided bv law while actually in session. This woidd bring the payment to 67 per cent of the average paid by the Mountain States and 50 per cent of the average paid by the United States as a whole. Arguments for this change include the fact that in some cases present compensation does not equal the cost of service incurred by the individual legislators. Since many leave their jobs or businesses it can actually cost them money to serve. Some believe this would tend to cause legislators to be subject to greater influence by lobbists. Also some legislators work more than just the 60 days of the session. For example members of several committees meet toeach month of the year. gether THOSE AGAINST this resolution argue that no one should seek public office because of the money we could make but should do it because of the public ser- IT WOULD also mean that the estimates of revenue and the budget would be handled for only one year in advance. As it is now the State Legislature meets for 60 days on odd numbered years only. During this time, Senator Mantes stated, that approximately 600 bills must be considered in addition to the budget for all State Departments and Agencys, school allotments and estimates of revenue. Those who favor this proposal, the Senator said, consider this work load unrealistic and feel that a far better job could be accomplished with annual sessions, resulting in a saving to the state. THOSE WHO do not favor the resolution feel that this might lead to continuous ses- vice possible. The third proposed change sions and professional legislawould eliminate the inventory tors.

IT ALSO tends to handicap the State in its attempts to attract new business into the area. This is true because the surrounding states do not have such a tax. Proponents hold further that any income lost through ending the inventory tax would be more than compensated for by the resulting increase in the amounts collected from other taxes. Not that it would raise other lews but that there would be more property and more personal income on which present revenues would be collected. Senator Mantes strongly urged a yes vote on proposition three. PROPOSITION number four, sometimes known as the Green Belt Amendment, would change the method of taxing farm land. Farms are now taxed at their fair market value, if this resolution were to pass they would then be taxed only as farms without other considerations. Proponents say this is necessary in order to preserve the farms or greenbelts near the metropolitan areas. Farms, they say, are being taxed out of business because they do not produce at a rate high enough to justify being taxed in relation to surrounding properties, such as residential areas or shopping centers. Senator Mantes stated that this is a valid argument, but that evils which he feels are inherent in the change outweigh it in importance. HE SAID it may develop into a system of classified taxation of property. And there may be no end to the possible different classifications. For this reason he said, I am not very much in favor of this proposition. ' " He also stated that some feel that it may also lead to land speculation. The fifth resolution proposes to provide for the mandatory retirement and for the removal of judges from office. UNDER PRESENT law if a judge were incompetent or physically unable to perform his duties or perhaps even guilty of in office, there is no practical way to remove him from Number Twenty One Home Agent 1 o Attend Nall.
