PAIN QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
ABOUT THE AMENDMENT TO THE
CONSTITUTION AFFECTING MINES.
Issued by the Joint Committee Of School Boards
and House Of Delegates.

Issued by the Joint Committee OF senooi BOARDS
and House of Delegates.
Question. What Is the basis of taxation in
the Constitution of the State of UtahT
Answer. Article 10. Sections ana OF
the State Constitution clearly states that all
property In the State must be assessed and
taxed at full value.
Question. Are mines assessed at full value
and IL not, why mott
Answer. Mines not assessed Mt tul
ynlue because of an arbitrary rule OF Article
49, Section 4 of the Constitution which pro
videa that mines shall be assessed at 5000 an
acre for their land for the value of their
improvements ana for the value of their net
proceeds. which all in all equals about 20 To
80 per cent OF full value.
Question. Why was this exception placed in
tn. Constitution
An5w,r Twenty three years ago, at the
TINE Of Statehood, mine owners claimed that
Mining was an infant Industry and needed
srccial help. TN those days the State gave
the ,uEar companies a bonus on sugar.. More
Over he non resident mine owners who were
influential al Washington claimed they feared
u.tair tr a.mont under Statehood in Utah and
dcman led this exception in their favor before
coas nting to Statehood.
Quot Should this exception in the favor
Of m mes contnue2
Answer. Clr .ainly not. The Constitution
should be AMENDED 20 permit the Legislatu' q
% assess n.AcH AT full vaiue like other prop
ry.
A two-thirds majority Of two Republican
La- 'a.ures. one in 1871 and one in 1915, has
I-al the vo.ors Of the State to amend Sec
.rl ( of Ar.iCle 10 so that shines may BE-
s.,f.,i at more than the value of Their ne,
ro'oclS FOR taxation purposes. The present
i.mo ratio Legislature also urges Taxpayer

sIrro-e
Vote YES" for all the Amendment One
for State wide prohibition. one reduces IN,
