Show : Why Suck Great Interest? j Do you know why members of the State Board of Equalization are using money and time belonging CW the State of Utah to push their pet measure, the amendment of Article 13 of the State Constitution Thgy are not required by LAW to lobby bills through the Legislature or to participate in a campaign at the expense of the taxpayer. Then there must be OTHER reasons for their activity. There ARE other reasons, and all of them are not in the amendment; some of them are OUT of the amendment but IN the present Constitution. Section 11 of the Constitution contains several of the reasons; and you will not find Section 11 in th amendment. This section of the Constitution permits County Commissioners and County Assessors ELECTED by you to handle LOCAL taxation. According to the men who are so busy In support of the amend ment, this is wrong. They believe the State Board of Equalization should handle ALL your taxation; that County Assessors should be APPOINTED by the Board, instead of ELECTED by you; that County Commissioners are not fit to have jurisdiction over local taxes and should, therefore, bo subordinate to the State Board in all tax matters; that the members of the State Board should continue to be APPOINTED, not elected; that members of the Board should have LARGER SALARIES; SAL-ARIES; and Section 11 must be repealed before all these things can be accomplished. These are some of the reasons why the Board is so greatly interested. The Board protests its anxiety to inform the public. Then ask it to give you the exact language of the official reports in which these changes are recommended. If the Board will not give it to you, WE WILL. The Board and its friends have already given FOUR different reasons for their great desire to have DIFFERING DIF-FERING rates of taxation on various classes of property. Don't you believe it would have been a ood way to "inform the public" if they had put the reasons into the amendment itself? Wouldn't you like to know JUST WHAT YOU ARE VOTING ON ? The Board manifests distress because mines arc being taxed on the .same basis as other property. It complains that the mines are not paying as much taxes as they would be if they were paying more taxes. But has the Board tc!d you why it is collecting from you for STATE PURPOSES ALONE $518,380 MORE this year than last? Where does this extra money go? It is MORE MONEY than triple taxation tax-ation of mine proceeds would have yielded the State this year; more than twice as much. Why was not that 518,009 used to reduce taxes on the homes, farms, etc., about which the Board sayS it is so solicitous? Is part of it to be used for the further "information of the public?" Do you wish lower taxes on horr.es, farms and other property? Then don't five OFFICEHOLDERS ! anv MORE money to SPEND, no ma tter where it comes from; even though it comas from mines. J You don't reform a spendthrift by INCREASING HIS ALLOWANCE. You must CUT IT DOWN. j Don't let them tell you they can't reduce your txes without raising somebody else, because IT IS NOT TRUE. i Mata vour nubile officers, high and low, 7CRK AT THEIR JOBS, instead cf junketing all over the .country at ; "your expense: make them discharge iheii USELESS HELP, who fatten on YOUR MONEY; make them'get i vou a day's WORK for a day's wrge when they spend public funds; make them OBEY THE LAW and observe their OATHS OF OFHCE. : You will never get ANYBODY'S taxes REDUCED by giving the officeholders MORE TAXING POWER. 1 This amendment may get THEM mere money; it will not SAVE any for you. If they really wished to reduce your taxes, they could have done so long ago. And they haven't done it. prrrzz3i The Constitution is your Safeguard. f"TPlI?
