Show editorial it is to say the least unfortunate that those who are advocating the new tax plan sm seem unwilling to meet the opposition on an equal ground at public Inee meetings tings this has to a degree at least accentuated the suspicion that they do not care to have all the facts brought out the tax educational league made up of some of the states finest citizens have invited both sides to meet at public meetings and discuss all angles of the proposed state constitutional tax amendments if the opponents ate are willing to face the people why should the advocates of the plan refuse that in a great many eases cases does botset not set well with the people among those to adopt such a course was the utah education association ir most so called tax reforms consist of raising more taxes instead of less new taxes or more taxes on intangibles and the like on the theory that it would lighten the real estate tax would we believe merely increases the load it if a citizen must pay abax a tax in one way which he thinks he saves in another it gains him nothing A question involved more than real taxation its that our present constitutional guarantees are to be removed will that take well with the people our whole government Is founded upon an bushed constitution those who laid the foundation of this diate state and who framed the constitution purposely put ut in limitations beyond which men in public office dare not step are these to be swept away if so t the h e plan embodied in the proposed amendments will wili not receive sanction by the peo people plat the question oll of the saving of a few dollars here and there is wholly secondary to the greater question of protecting the people now and forever under our constitution which la Is after all the peoples law real tax reform reduces or prevents waste of expenditures tures made by government and places limitations on public expenditure instead of increasing the same talk it over with V your wives should you feel
