THIS CAMP PA|CN
LIE RIDICULOUS
Fair Sample of What Church
Republicans Arc Feeding
Public.
TELLING FARMERS THAT
TAXES WILL BE RAISED
Not Believed That Sane Men
Will Be MisIed by the
Whisperers.

Another vicious campaign lie, givon
circulation by tho church Republicans.
has been nailed.
Through the misguided women OF the
Relief society the church Republicans
have circulated tho malicious falschood
that 1t is the purpose of the American
Lake county. TO double the taxation OF
all the farmers In tho county,
Tho statement ia absurd on tho face
OF It. No ono knows better than the
voter in tho county outside of Salt Lake
City how reckless and e-.savaGant has
hceu the regime OF tho present county
officers. They know that the taxes Of
the county havo been squandcred TO pro-
vide employment for relatives and politi-
cal workers OF the church Republican
leaders They know that the record OF
the present county officers has been one
Of extravaganza and incompctency. The
county taxes have been wasted In provid-
Ing private roadways and culverts for
John G. Macllay: county funds have been
devoted to paying salaries TO members OF
the Mackay family, TO providing n private
telephone to tho Mackay household. and
to paying an exorbitant rate for county
printing TO the Infamous Smoot Mouth"
What Voters Know.
Tho county voters know also that the
name American liz Synonymous with
progress, efficiency and economy. Their
close proximity to Salt Lake City enables
them TO become familiar with the condt-
tions Of tho government OF the city. They
know that II IS because of the excellent
municipal government under the Amerl-
can regime that gives To the Americans
an overwhelming and increasing majority
a, each city election. They know that
each year thousands OF Mormons vote
the American ticket because they realize
that its progressive policy is placing Salt
Lake on n par with the great cities OF
the country and that. as the city pro-
crosses the value Of their property In
creases proportlonately.
Furthermore, the American city gov
ernmcnt has made possible the extensions
of street cars 10 all parts OF the county.
american progress has given the county
farmers an ever-incrcasing market for
their products in Salt Lake City.
Era Of Progress.
The wonderful increase in the value OF
the farm lands in all parts of the county
has been due solely TO the fact that there
is an era OF progress In Salt Lake City
Land in Salt Lake county that could
have been purchased when Salt Lake
City was under church rule for few
dollars is now valued at as high one
thousand dollars an acre.
And the end is not yet. Under Amcri-
can rule, the progress OF the county viii
go forward just as the progress of the
city Is continuing. The county farmers
need not fear that tho taxes Will be in
under American rule. A more
economical and efficient county govern
ment will give to the country folk i'm
provements not dreamed of under the
present county government. And this
without any Increase in taxation. IL the
county voter does not believe this, let
him ask the unbiased city voter.
The church Republicans and Relief so
ciety arc on The wrong tack IL they eX-
pect by their malicious statements to
gain votes for the church Republicans
by circulating such lies.
