Industries Because of the disastrous effects of the numerous failures of banks throughout the state of ot Utah and the country generally entailing se severe severo se- se se-I se vero vere and distressing losses lossos both to j i bankers and depositors and thus to the country generally It becomes become necessary that everybody sho should ld be protected against bank losses and particularly the depositors therefore therefore therefore there there- fore wo we are are In n a bank guarantee guarantee guarantee guar guar- antee law protecting all depositors in banks from any lo loss or deposits by providing for an assessment of or a ill fraction of bank banI earnings to tobe tobe tobe be placed in a state fund to be used to pay payoff off depositors in banks and similar laws

gener- ally aUy raises rates on railroads 3 and other lines of transportation and Its control of the public transportation on the highways of the sta state e has been highly unsatisfactory And while we have haYe no criticism of of th the personnel of said public utilities commission yet nt we criticise It Its workings as a public Institution and assert that It has been of no particular particular particular ular benefit to the people of the I Uintah basin and that we are opposed I ed to any monopoly y of pc the he pub public public lc highways of the state ana we believe that the peoples

deplore the the extravagance extravagance ex ex- ex of the state road roadS road funds and we believe that the bonded debt of ot seven millions of dollars f for r state roads has not b ought brought ought us our moneys money's worth and we believe that this is chargeable largely to the In Inefficiency Inefficiency inefficiency In- In efficiency of the state road commission commission commission commis commis- sion as a public institution and we favor a modification of ot the law relating relating re relating re- re lating to state roads so that the larger part of the runds shall be placed at the disposal of oC the county county county coun coun- ty commissioners who will be held responsible locally to the people and with proper checks so that we we- we will get our ouI money money worth In the actual development of the roads of the country countr and so that the money will not be spent principally for surveying surveying sur sur- vering salaries and overhead expenses expenses

amend amend- ments proposed as Amendments Amendment Nos 1 and 2 as advertised In the papers of the state to be voted upon at the polls pos in November next No 1 t proposes to raise the bonding limit of the state from 1 per cent to 2 3 per cent of the tax valuation of the state with the intent to Increase se taxes and to borrow orrow more money Our state bonded de debt t is already 9 9 with an annual Interest of about which Is a heavy burden upon the state and we wa should devise ways and means to reduce reduce reduce re re- duce our bonded debt instead of in increasIng increasing increasing in- in creasing it ft And the proposed Amendment No 2 Is for a change so eo I as to raise about two millions of or dollars more taxes at least every two years and its advocates try to persuade persuade persuade per per- suade us that they intend to catch taxpayers non-taxpayers but It is undoubtedly true that the common taxpaying pear people pee pea r pie of the state will have havo to lO pay thaI that tha additional burden if the amendment I be passed and we ask all voters to vote against the said amendments Wo We are opposed to too man many boards and commissions a ml rI i In favor of reasonable and sensible economy in tho management of state affairs and declare for a of taxes instead of an Increase and for encouragement for the man Jinn who works and builds and
