has taught US are a very poor
make shift for our w;ter system.
There are also quie lot Of US
that need considerbe sums OF
the needful" to ply cur debts
with, especially the four ana
three fourths per cent tax. that
becomes delinquent next month.
and which is a strong object
lesson on the inexolable charac-
ter of the debt we should incur
in case we listen to the alluring
picture which the advocates OF
this bonding measure present
to our view. And last and also
least in the estimation of the
writer, the urgent need we may
have if some very generous
persons have their way. OF a
few thousand dollars to pay
our coming Legislature double
wages. Though as far as this
last proposition is concerned l
think we are in but little danger
of having the bill to meet IL
the electors will only take the
trouble to voice their sentiments
on election day. This proposition
to double the wages of the legis-
lature seems about as unreason-
able as was the amendment to
the state constitution passed a
few years since increasing the
salaries Of a large batch of state
officials. Where on earth is the
sense Ct paying the legislat-
ors more wages, when the ablest
men in the state are doing their
best to get the job at the pres
ent price?
But to return to the situation
in the county on the ability to
afford this road question. In
Parowan the people are Install
ing a twenty-five thousand dol
lar water system, they have also
a higher tax to meet this year
than we have in Cedar City.
and there is not the least doubt
in the world that they also have
a due PROPORTION Of personal
debts to liquidate. Another
thing: the merchants in the
county have discovered that they
can no longsr afford 70 support
the main reliance of so many of
us. and it is cash down, or see
the managr, which, with us poor
fellows who it is known are very
slow pay, amounts to the same
thing. Under all these burdens
it seems like adding insult to
injury to suspect us of the
ignorance of being willing to
vote fol- any measure that will
add to our troubles.
In conclusion just have this
to say to my fellow taxpayers
let US be sure that our senti-
ments on this and its relative.
the legislator compensation
measure. are plainly expressed
on Election Day.
Taxpayers Beware.
