Utahs Proposed Income Tax Law I Mystery story involving the news sense. a We are heartily in accord with a scientifically worked out plan for a State Income Tax, and we hope that the present legislature will remember in the writing of this new taxation law, that it should be based primarily on ability to Pay. With the ever increasing costs of government it has become necessary to find new sources of revenue to cany on increased governmental expenses, instead of adding them to the all ready general property tax, as has been done in the past. It is our firm belief that the proposed state income tax will be a good move in this direction, providing it carries the keynote of a real income tax which is, taxation according to ability to pay, i reporters hunch which led to the untangling of a fascinating maze. Why did so many people seek the sealed trunk, and why did the charming girl of the story hide her identity under an assumed name?

Most of the debate has tela'ad to rate-,- , filing fees exemptions. and offsets. Some patties are of the opinion hat the graduating scale is much to ugh, and that it this featu-- e is writ-i- n into law. it will tend to keep de-- i ruble men with high .salaries out of f the stale. Others suggest that a iole tax, or filing fee be written into e income tax which would arrange for everyone of age in the state laying a nominal sum for the support f government. This idea is strani-iusI.- v opposed by others, on the ground hat it violates the intent of an tax law, which is based on a ax according to ability to pay, and is really urged on by those of ability o iay trying to shift taxation on the ovv salaried people. The exmptions as first "ntten by the committee on taxation of both houses are as follows: $1,000 for each single person; $2,000 for each mar-ie- d couple living together, and $400 This for each additional dependent. means that a married man with two hildren would be taxed only on all he makes over $2,800, e.itd then only on a graduating scale according to how much he made over this amount.
