AMENDMENT LOST
WORKS NO INJURY
No Danger Of Assessed Valuation
Passing To Hundred
Million Mark.
BIG DEMANDS ON THE STATE.
Revenue VIII be Drawn Upon Hcav-
lily If Contemplated Lcgis-
lation PasscA

The people of Utah will not suffer
in the least, nor will the revenues OF
the state, because of the failure of
one of the three amendments submit
ted to the people ut the recent election,
to attract attention of voters
This Is the amendment which provides
that the figures at which the tax rate
II TO drop TO five mills should be rails
ed from s20o.Qo0,000 to 4OO,000,000.
The contingency against which this
amendment was intended to provide
was that of suffering a drop in the
present insufficient revenues which
would occur as soon as the assessed
valuation reached $2Q0, 900 900.
But there Is now considered to be no
danger OF the assessed valuation
reaching S20o,o00,o0O within the next
Two years, at which time the tmend-
inent can be resubmitted.
me total assessed valuation for 1908,
Is Sl65,0o0,000, and for 1907, it was
l62, 100000. That leaves necessity Of
increasing valuations SIS, 100000 before
the drop from eight mills to five mills
goes into effect. AT present the schools
receive three mills and the state for
state purposes five mills. At eight mills
on Sl65t000, 600, the taxes for 1908, will
bring In s1,320,0OO.
Deii.iiluS are Delng made upon the
state for sum greatly iri excess Of
this amount, without counting in the
new demand for a state highway from
Logan to st. George, and for capitol
building. .
How the revenues would suffer BY a
drop to five mills is indicated by the
iact that while an eight mill tax on
$l65, 100000 Is $1.22O,00O, five min tax
T on S2oO.O00,p0O would be only $1,000
goo. The fact however that there is
$35,0oo'0oO of leeway before the reven-
ues slump In this manner is sufficient
guarantee that another amendment
can De submitted before such an event
takes place.

The "American'' slump is illustrated
by comparison with the Bransford vote
of one year ago. Bransford's plurality
a year ago over Plumlncr was l,4s2.
Bransford's vote was 3,347, and while

Sharp as the total votes cast reached
decidedly a larger number.
The total vote of precinct is given

FROM MR.. WATKINS
To THE REPUBLICANS OF KANSAS.

To THE REPUBLICANS OF KANSAS.
One of most important matters in con-
nection with the present campaign is to
make sure of the election Of J. L. Bristow as
United States Senator. His defeat would
be a telling blow to the progressive re-
publican spirit of Kansas, ard serious
loss 10 the incoming Taft administration.
A good many Republican voters seem
to have the idea that under the new Pri-
mary Law, Bristow's election was prac-
tlcally accomplished at the August pri-
maries, and still others believe that Bris-
tow's name will be upon the ballot at the
November election, and that he will be
voted for direct.
But this is mistake. While the Re-
publican voters at the primaries in Aug
ust designated Bristow as their candidate
for Senator, and the democrats nom-
mated Mr.. Farrelly. yet these gentlemen
will 60 before the next Legislature for
election in the old way; that is by the
Senate and House of Representatives. II
these bodies, in Joint session, DO Repub-
lican by a majority, Bristow will be
elected, but If Democratic, 1t will mean
the election of FarrelIy as United States
Senator. How important, therefore, that
the House and Senate be Republican!
The Republicans Of Ford county can.
not afford to withhold their support from
l.. A. Madison, their nominee for Repre-
sentative. A vote against him and in
favor of his opponent, will have more
far reaching effect than merely to defeat
the one and elect the other-it may also
defeat Bristow. This is one of reasons,
and very important one, why republi-
cans should stand by their nominee for
Representative. ALBERT WATKINS.
