Tba state tax eommisaioa hai endeavored in the articles which have the already been printed to indicate control way in which taxpayers may the amount of money which is to be rov-anupended for public purposes. The which is to bo expended for eity, town and county purposes next year wW be determined npon during the month of December of this year. If the taxpayers of the state wish to have any voice in determining these amounts they must set during the month of December.

We urge that the taxpayers of the na itaia, as far as it is practicable or with them the problems of public finance. This will enable the tax spending officials to get the. point of view of the taxpayers, end what is just as important, it will give the taxpayers the opportunity to get the point of or their offi eyhave placed in public office. A frank discussion between public official and taxpayer will enable the official to understand how mneh ean be afforded in the way of public expenditure, and at the same time it will enable the taxpayer to understand the problems which he has placed upon tie shoulders of the officials in the services of government which the taxpayer expects the public official to give. Government costs money. It is not free like air, and it is useless for taxpayers to expeet officials to perform miracles in the way of providing many public benefits at no expense. So mneh has been said within recent years of the high eost of government in thie state, that it may be in SUH.PEICE, UTAH teresting to compare the eost of government for state, eounty, schools and munieipa purposes in Utah with similar costs in other western states. The national industrial conference board of Hew York City has made. the following comparison based ujion eoliee-tion- s fnr the year 1(127. This ii lba last figure available at prrtput, but it is probable that the taxes for more recent years will be computed by this organisation within the near future. Stale sad Local Tax Collect leas.

This comparison is based upon all taxes for state and local purposes in qpeh case. The fact that per capita gu. uiatiiil tiiil Li ctlusT elates is higher than Utah does not mean no should negleet to control 'ur public expenditures on a careful basis in the fotnre.
