BONDED INDEBTEDNESS.
What Utah Owes in This Direction
Reaches Sum of 100000.

The total bonded Indebtedness of the
state remains at the amount named in
my previous message. namely, $500 600.
To meet this, there has already been
set aside the sum of 100000, most of
which is safely invested in interest
bearing securities. 1t will be necessary
for you to set aside an additional $4,000
for this purpose.
I heartily concur In the suggestion
of the auditor regarding the duties OF
the sealer of weights and measures, the
care and custody of state warrants, and
the law governing the recording OF
marks and brands. Regarding redemp
ton OF lands, methods of controlling
"uncoilectible taxes" checking county
records. etc. the report contains valu-
able suggestions.
Altogether. it is filled with valuable
information. and should receive the
careful and thoughtful attention not
only OF state officials and members Of
the legislature. but of all other citizens
of the state.

BOARD OF EQUALIZATION,
Proposed Change of Law That VIII
Elect Assessor for Four Years.

From the report and the recommen-
dations of the board of equalization, 1t
appears that certain changes In the tax
laws of the state are necessary. Some
of these suggestions are submitted
herewith:
1t seems advisable that the term of
Office OF county assessors be increased
to four years. in order to allow them
to become more thoroughly acquainted
with the duties of their offices. Also
that salaries of assessors in counties
from third to fifteenth class inclusive
be increased. Express companies and
electric light and power companies. like
the telephone and telegraph companies.
as rule have property in two or more
counties of the state. The law should
be so amended as to place the power
of assessing these companies in the
hands OF the state board of equaliza-
ton. For the other recommendations
of the board as to changes in the laws.
you are respectfully referred to the re-
port.
Under the provisions OF the Session
Laws of Utah. 1901. chapter 1875, the
secretary of the state board of equaliz-
alton Is authorized to collect taxes from
car companies in the state. But he is
not required to give bond for the
faithful performance OF this fiduciary
trust. This defect in the law should
be remedled: and i recommend that
you amend IL so as 10 require TINS OH
cial to give an ample bond to cover
his responsibilities.
In view of the fact that the law CIV
Ing the board power to tax the net pro-
ceeds Of mines has been declared I'M
constitutional. ask that you consider
the advisability OF passing a resolution
to submit to the people of the state an
amendment to the constitution giving
the legislature power to authorize the
board of equalization to tax the net
proceeds of mines. / would suggest
that an appropriate committee be en-
powered to consider this matter
In this connection, I would state
that at my request the secretary
of the board OF equalization
prepared statement of the in
crease In the total output OF mines
in the state since 1908, and off the in
crease in assessment OF net proceeds
OF mines during the same period. From
this It appears that although the to-
tai assessment has increased so per
cent, the increase I'm assessment of
net proceeds is only n little over s
per cent. II is therefore apparent that
county assessors have not placed as
high valuation on these proceeds as
seems to have been their duty 1t
