Democratic County Officials
Have Made Good Record
Our Schools and Roads Have Been Well Looked Af.
the Taxpayers Have Been Treated Fairly bv tbo anu
Democrats of the County-Much Money
Has Been Saved

Two years ago the Democratic par
ty went before the people of Utah
County with pledge Of economy and
they have kept their platform to the
letter. The taxes have been raised.
but who raised them. not the Demo-
cratic county commissioners, but in
stead the (Republican) State Board
of Equalization and the schools. Here
Is the amount each county Office has
saved during the twelve months Of
1913.
County Recorders Office ....$ 41295
County Sheriff's office .... 1534.26
County Clerks office ...... 14S5. 15
County Treasurer's Office -. 222s2
County Assessors Office $40. 341.43
II should be remembered too that
there were 500 more instruments re-
corded In 1913 than In 1912. The
above saving Is a comparison with
1912 when the Republicans were In
power. The County Sheriff's Office al
so paid their own car fare while this
Office rode on passes in 1912. In 1912
the Sherlff's office spent nearly 1866
for hay and In 1913 not one cent was
spent for this Item.
Fair Assessments
The claim has been made that the
Democratic Assessor has reduced the
assessed valuation of the Knight
Wooden Mills and Taylor Bros COM
pany. Here are the figures from the
county assessors books for the two
years OF 1911 and 1912. the assessed
valuation for the two years Is $4s,500.
while the assessed valuation for 1918
and 1914 is s50,700, or an increase of

Why the Taxes Are Higher
Let us take for an example sIooo
farm In the Lehi district and ono
what the taxes are:
1912 1914
state TAX ............S $50 $500
County Tax ....... $50 ga
School Tax ........ 1l5O Inn
High School Tax ...... 300 500
Total ........... $3.50 2g5O
two dollar raise. The state pets
soc more In 1914 than In 1912 The
county gets exactly the same. The
schools gets so cents less The High
Schools gets $500 more; but the State
Board OF Equalization raised the yalu.
alton this year 20 per cent, thus ad.
ding $3.50 m re. making the total Of
1914 of $3.50 or $3.50 moro than 1912
1t is plain to be seen that $3.50 Of the
above raise is due to the state and
$500 to the High School. neither Of

tees labored long and faithfully. and
make their report the day the Demo-
cratic caucus was held. Even IL the
bill evolved by those committees Is not
in exactly the proper form, the senate
and house could amend the bills to
make them what they should be, and
amendments to improve them would
be made IL congress was given the op-
portunity to consider and vote upon
the bills and upon amendments.
Brady Has Amendments.
II have been devoting much study TO
this subject, and have formulated sew
eral amendments embodying my ideas
as TO what rural credits bill should
prescribe. But unless there is a
change in program. no opportunity will
be afforded to present the amendments
and have them considered l am
strongly hopeful that some means will
be found, Notwithstanding the action
of the house caucus, to bring rural
credits bill up for consideration and
passage. Congress can well afford to
prolong its session II necessary in or
der to pass a rural credits bill, and
hope the advocates Of rural credits leg
islation will find way, before adjourn
ment, to pass such bill, and send 1t
10 the president for approval. 1t Is
not sufficient to say that rural credits
legislation shall be laid aside because
the president disapproves of a single
section in that bill. II the presidents
objection Is valid the bill can be
amended to meet his objection. Ger
tainly congress owes 1t to the country
to take up the rural credits legisla-
ton without further delay"
