The records in the office of the State Board of Equalization for the year 1922 show that Sanpete County was in debt $1,104,57S.35, and the entire en-tire indebtedness of the state was $44,038,350.17. At the time when the constitution was adopted the limit of state indebtedness was fixed at $200,-000.00. $200,-000.00. We have become more and j more extravagant until ncar:y ,every county in the state has gone far be-i be-i yond the limit originally fixed for the j state. Let us in Sanpete County be- j gin to pay our debts and let's begin now. 1. We' must stop creating debts. j 2. We must spend less money and get more for what we do spend. 3. We must apportion the tax burd-; en more fairly. j 4. We must get on the assessment rolls property which is now unjustly escaping taxation. , 5. We must get real estate assessments assess-ments on an income basis as well as a market avlue basis. . 6. We must stand behind capable j and efficient officers and give them every assistance possible. There is but one way to do these things. Tax-payers must do them for themselves. Nobody else is go-1 ing to take care of our troubles for us. Any tax-payers acting alone can accomplish little. Acting together we can accomplish much. Therefore the Utah Farmers Tax Association has been organized and every prop- j erty owner should become a member, j The association proposes to con- j duct a fair and sane campaign based upon carefully compiled lata to be obtained from all available records and from each of the members of the I association. It will be seen that every dictrict of the state is well represented represent-ed on the central committee. I The association will raise its funds for this campaign by a membership fee of two dollars. If you want your interests represented, send in your name and address plainly written, together with your check for two dollars. I |
