C. corporation which has centralized its laboratories and working plants at Camden m order to employ many more or men. One of the speakers was Secretary of Labor James J. avis. Mr. Davis lauded the movement of large corporations roughout the east and middlewest in their response recently to President Hoovers suggestion that they go out and make a return to prosperity rather than discuss it, and that they do this by creating more work for the unemployed. This many of the major industries have been doing the last few days, which Secretary Davis feels will be the best means yet undertakenJo shake off ih&Jndustrial and economic torpor that has maintained for sometime, Tho impetus now beginning, Mr. Davis declared, in his mind, would see new streams of employment and economic activity flowing down the channels of American industry. It used to ha that in times of depression Loth employees and employers waited for the slump to work itself into activity. Now a new gospel of thought and actiom is coming to be learned and followed which is to take steps to work out of depression as quickly as possible by creating new jobs, new phases of industry, and thereby promote a return to good times. On last Wednesday work was begun on the $165,000,000 Boulder dam project which, it is estimated, will require eighf years before completion. This will offer employment for many. . Moreover, here in Cache valley there is every prospect, since the conference' last Monday of Dr. Elwood Mead, director of the Reclamation service, the Cache Valley Water Users association and the state water storage commission that the $1,600,000 Hyrum reservoir project will carry through. This will also stimulate new life in employment circles in Cache valley, in addition to the numerous other benefits that will be conferred through its construction, This optimism about better times is heard the country over from the lips and pens of statisticians, industrial mag-natand government and labor officials generallyi and In of virtually all localities from coast to coast the awakening es hundred-thirt- y were present.

It is wnteen by Harry G, Leslie, governerof the state of Indiana. Some years ago in Indiana we realized the danger of permitting the cost of government in many local units to become, so excessive as largely to confiscate the income of our people. Our greatest burden of taxation originates in our As the major portion of our government is local units local, the great need of some influence to control local expenditures was readily recognised. As state law was passed centralizing authority over all local expenditures, and delegating to the state tax commission the responsibility of passing upon all local tax levies to be made as well as all local bonds to be Issued. This law, requiting the state tax commission to pass upon these questions of purely local concern, was unpopular. It was considered an interference with and a violation of the light of local control and local self government . . . During the first year under the provisions of this law, the tax commissions made reductions in the various taxing units in the sum of $11,617,037. This action caused agitation against the law resulting in its repeal. During the year immediately following the repeal of thi3 law the cost of local government was increased from to $111,459,765, or an increase of 47.5 per cent. This increase in the cost of local government was so startling and impressive that it was recognized as imperative that some relief and protection must be afforded the taxpaying public from unjustifiable assault upon the budget law. . , . At the same session of the legislature a statute was enacted providing that, when ten or more taxpayers felt themselves aggrieved by the final action of the local taxing officials in proposing to expend more money for any purpose than in their opinion their government economically administered would require, such taxpayers might appeal to the state tax commission. It then became the duty of the cimmission to set a date for a formal hearing and to take evidence, and finally determine the merits of the controversy as to whether local officials were proposing extravagant practices. ,.. ,..Under. the terms of this law as it now exists, the state tax commission is wholly without any original jurisdiction 'in the matter of local tax levies or bond issues, and acquires such jurisdiction or control by the affirmative action of the who must pay the bill and who feel themselves agrieved by the action of the local taxing ' cfficials. (Keep in mind that the proposed Utah law is based on , that of Irtdiana). In one school unit Where, on account of excessive building costs during the war, this particular unit had fallen far behind in school building, the school officials decided upon a bond issue of $1,650,000 for the construction of eight new buildings. The taxpaying public, while not opposing - this tax- comprogram, decided to secure the assistance of the mission and its engineers in handling a matter of this magnitude. Their right of appeal was exercised. The result was that the program, practically as originally planned, was carried out at a saving of $436,000 below the estimated expenditures. In another county, the proposed budget showed that the , ls were asking an increase of four cents on the hundred dollars over the previous year for county purposes. A thorough survey and analysis of the actual financial condition was made, to determine the necessity for the tathein-efficiencproposed increase. Thfr tax commission thatrdue of the accounting illegality and incompetency system employed by the county taxing officials there was at that veryjtime a balance in the general fund in the sum of $172,585 when the total amount of the budget expenditures amounted to slightly in excess of $89,000. The action of the tax commission was to eliminate entirely the proposed county levy for that year. In place of an increase of four cents over the previous year, the levy was entirely eliminated for practically two years. Cases of like character in the eight years that this law has been in force have aggregated a direct saving to the taxpayers in proposed tax levies and" bond issues in excess . of eighty million dollars. By far the greatest value of this law has been through Its intangible or indirect influence as a deterrent to extravagance. I believe it to have in this reBpeet many, many times more than the direct saving. WALLACE J.
