UTAHNS OPPOSE
CAPITOL BUILDING
Proposition to Levy a One Mill Tax
for Purpose of Erecting State
Building is Defeated.
Little Interest Taken in Special EIec.
ton and But Few of the Taxpsy-
ers Took the Trouble to Vote,
Which Probably Accounts
for Result.

Salt Lake City.-The Taxpayers of
the state at special election on June
voted against the levying OF a L
mill tax for the purpose of erecting a
state capitol building The PROPOSE
ton was defeated by a majority of
about $500. Salt Lake county voted
In favor of the tax levy but almost
every other county in the state voted
against it.
One of the principal reasons for
the defeat of the proposition was the
lack OF strong campaign in favor OF
It, In Salt Lake City only a very
small per cent OF the taxpayers voted
at ALL Throughout the state the vote
was about 10 per cent of what 1t was
last fall. A strong factor that mill
tated against the proposition to build
a new capitol was an active campaign
against the move by the people of
Ogden and Weber county
Less than one-fourth of the persons
entitled to vote for the capitol went
to the polls.
The earlier returns of the vote cast
shows that 4,226 people voted in ia
vor of building the capital, while g.
