The third proposal would Two years ago the voters of Utah were asked to decide the fate of eight proposed constitutional amendments. The proposals were discussed widely throughout the rstate, pro .and .con, and it was generally felt that .the public was ;aware of the content of the amendments. However, the voters rather overwhelmingly turned down all eight proposed changes. This year five constitutional amendments are being proposed to the people of Utah. Some are nearly the same as two years ago, and some are new, but all are important to the future of Utah. eliminate the inventory tax, which acts as a deterent to future growth of the state. Utah is the only slate which has not taken steps to eliminate this discriminatory tax, and, therefore, if the voters do not allow this change in the constitution, doors to future economic growth in Utah will be virtually closed. The fourth proposed amendment would affect the assessment of agricultural lands, particularly near the metropolitan areas. Basically, the amendment would allow land being used for agricultural-purposeto be taxed on their value .. for this use, rather than on any speculative value that might be assessed due to industrial or urban growth in an area. It is felt by most agricultural leaders that this amendment is needed to prevent the elimination of all farms in areas where industrial growth is being experienced. The fifth amendment would allow the legislature the right to set up some means whereby judges could be removed from office, subject to review by the Supreme Court. At present, as we understand the law, there is no means whereby a judge can be removed, regardless of any malfeasance of inter-mounta- in Dear Editor, I can't remember when I spent a more thrilling hour than last Wednesday morning from 10:30 to 11:301 I was prlvll edged to accompany a group of students from Roosevelt Elementary school as they attended the Freedom Week Assembly at Union High school.

Although these are but brief resumes of the actual amendments, they should provide the necessary insight into the subject to allow a person a sound decision as to the purpose of the change. Basically, the first two amendments deal with the legislative sessions. The first would allow annual sessions of the legislature. A regular business session would be held during the odd years, and a budget session of not more than 20 days would be held in the years. The second would allow legislators a needed change in reimbursement. We feel that these two amendments are, more or less, inseparable and are both needed if Utah is going to continue to progress. With the rapidly changing business and financial scene in Utah, it is unrealistic to assume that state officials can budget ahead for two years at a time and accurately guess" the needs of various departments. At least an annual budget session is necessary to assure continuity in operation even-number- ed T Has CtaaLc Ground Beef Cunee JWI5S wlCflRS office. The proposal to change the constitution of the state of Utah is part of the democratic process by which we govern ourselves. The people of the state have the right to accept or reject such amendments.
