who Is a leader la in the light to save the mines the big and little business and enterprises in general expresses the opinion of a large organization ot of business and mining men of the state in substance as follows the utah legislature must have a care or they will cripple state revenues instead ol of mending them they will crush out cut those enterprises on which the state depends if the weight of the tax Is thrown on business it must come back on the consumer in added prices or kill the business it if the liability of employers is such that he must insure even one man as well as many it II hurt pay as long as he lives or dead pay his widow or family lor for life then married men will double the responsibility the risk of single men will be enough and no other will be emp employed lOYell if the mines and corporations are to have heavy state tax burdens added to federal it will cripple tile the best ot of the mines reduce operation and discourage the entire business of 0 mine development capital will not take the double hazard of making a pacing mine and ot of losing most of the profit it a paying mine Is found most alost of the personnel ot of the legislature come coma from the small towns the country and the wide open spaces in utah where the bright lights do not glow the red glare and brilliance of the capitol city must not influence them to levy upon its apparent

and greatly retard growth greatly curtail employment and increase hardships and distress stress li in general in the language ot of P paul au I 1 H hunt the record fully believes the present legislature Is far too wise and too deeply conce concerned ned with the welfare of the entire state to seriously consider any increase macreas Is in mine taxation mr louis bargo A reply to ITT 7 editor record A very significant letter appeared in the record last week and without being tiresome or going into details and particulars tic ulars the substance or of this letter wag as to the general effect that tor for many many years the poor supported the rich and now the tables are turned and the rich must support the poor this sounds good in a sort of demO way but it to Is simply not true I 1 la in the first place there are no rich people left and if there were they would 1 not and could could not support a certain 1 element clement of the poor in the style to which they have become accustomed in the last j 1 two or three years I 1 there may be one person out of every ten thousand people in these united states who is ia rich in a small way and there may be one person out of every J live five hundred thousand people in this c country 0 un try who Is still rich in a big way 1 b but ut these lew few people those yet rich fril in a small way and those still rich in a big I 1 way are not supporting the poor thel the very poor and the not so poor and the I 1 fairly well to do are contributing tol to these few little rich and fewer big rich as they have never contributed heretofore well who Is taking care of the poor the honest poor and the dishonest poor the lazy hounds who dont want work and the honest poor who would work as they have never worked before if afi given a chance and these latter are not so numerous I 1 say who Is it that Is carrying the burden ill tell youl you I 1 the answer Is not as you thought the poor are taking care of the poor the blind are leading the blind in other words those who have jobs are taking care of those who have no jobs they are taking care of those who have no jobs but who long with a great longing tor for a job and these are few and they are taking care of that great pauperized army of hounds who want no jobs as long as UNCLE SAM will provide food coal clothes and Fh shelter elter but who Is uncle sam uncle sam Is your poor neighbor who has a job 1 but whose back Is bent because of the burden ct cf supporting you in idleness or near idleness soon say two or three years your neighbors back will be broken and then you lazy hounds will starve or else work as you never worked I 1 before dont delude yourself with the silly childish idea that some rich bloated bondholder is shelling out the ducats dubats to pay you 50 cents an hour tor for six hours a day lour four or live five days a s week wee k while you lean on your shovel and do no nothing thing but grumble because you have I 1 to go out occasionally and pretend to I 1 work when the rich pay any taxes at all and they do they first collect the t taxes from those who buy things anything from a pin or a match up to an out auto 0 or lumber etc etc with which to build a house the man with a jot job or what not I 1 Is the fellow who la Is supporting you it la is your neighbor who la is paying the bills bit 1 r and he will be paying them for a hundred years it if his back Is not sooner broken it if you ever get over ovel r this terrible disease ot of trying to get something e tor for nothing it if you ever wake balue up p and become a self supporting respect respectable me member aber of society again you and your children will be pay paying ing these bills tor for a hundred years and you and yours will work as you never worked before F for 0 r gods sake and your own sake and for the sake of your children and for the sake of your neighbor and your country get this cursed idea out ot of your heads that some mythical rich man la is keeping you or that some grotesque caricature ot of a fabled man in a high I 1 hat called uncle sam Is keeping you in the idleness to which you are fast becoming accustomed it if we could get some good old horse sense in our sore heads our state and national legislatures would not be introducing so many iniquitous bills intended to harrass the rich in the long run they only harrass the poor devils who have fairly good steady paying jobs abs 1 in the long run they only harrass your neighbor who la Is now shelling out to try to help you I 1 beg of you I 1 earnestly entreat you not to reverse the engine of progress that has led us on and on in a LEVEL ING UP process for three hundred years can it be that at last we have decided we can reverse the natural laws ot of the universe gravity evolution etc etc etc can it tie be possible that our intelligence has at last degenerated to a point where we actually believe that we can hoist ourselves up by our bootstraps boot
