MISQUOTES CONSTITUTION Although typical of the entire advertisement, ihe misquotation of ibe State Constitution by one of your experience is surprising and to be regretted. 'I be bonding limitations is not one per cent i of the assessed valuation, as you say, but one and one-hall per cent. Sec Section 1 article XT WHAT BECAME OF PUBLIC MONIES Before discussing further your in accurate statements, tell tbc public the answer tu these: I Your State Land Board, or someone representing Jt, placed $25,000 in the Proyo Commercial and Savings Hank in tlie spring of l'MJ. and there it remained until Spring of 1917, just before the board of our administration was displaced. In 1913, $50,060 of the funds in the care of tbc Land Board Bfl I were placed with tbc Farmers and Stock-grower:. Bank, of which, I believe, you were an ofliccr pr director. The last pf this fund was turned over in March. 1917, to the new board. It would be interesting to know the arrangements attending ihe transfers, in so far a they affected interest flH rates and collections 9 BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION M An) cntic to obtain a respectful hearing before intelligent people, must have a known record JMt of accomplishment. One of your favorite points of attack is the Stale Land Boai Inch also LA seems to be with you a sore Spot Let us see v. bat your board did. among other things : Thev 'bought ?50,00U worth of rccn River Irrigation di-tricl bonds, which represent a los oi S-b .?UJ l Hl the fund of the Land Board, except as made good from tbc general fund, and the taxpayer pax ; they expended some $$.50,000 on ihe Hatch town pro.iect. which, with the exception of pos sibly $15,000 in land, is a total loss and cOfift ibe "state about S12G,0GO more to adjust damage claims, etc.. with scalers; they bought $20,000 worth of bonds of the Xcw Mope Irrigation ds trict, on which the interest charges have not been met for rccra1 ycar?. and in so far as present, conditions arc concerned they can be charged up to los; tlieir average price foi land sold was j v45 an ac;e and in the last four years they j were on the job they loaned a total ot SSkoSl to 388 farmers and had more than a million dollar- on hand and idle when relieved, besides the suspense account, which apparently j icldcd the state no return. Xow let's compare the record of the Lan i Board ot this administration : It ha loaned $3,881,680 to 1L; farmers, and every loan i 'backed b gift-edge seeurit ; its land ale- have yielded an average ol $655 an acre and it ha tumcd into the State Treasury approximately $25000 hi interest on tbc suspense account. Of course, the administration wa only doing its duty I in recovering coal land- to the state that had been sold at a, dollar and a half by the former admini stration and reselling them at S100 an acre. bir. the lact remains that formei boards and admin i'strations had not done it. Your charge that the Land Board has loaned S160.000 to Lynndvl Townsite and SI 10.000 to Orcm Town are in keeping with your gues on the Constitution. Ihe Mate land Uoard has made no loan whatever to the Lynndyl Town Site, but it has loaned $160,000 for the improve meiit oi some 70 (arms with water in the vicinity of Lynndyl, representing an average of a little more than $2000 to the tarm. The Land .Board has agreed t.' buy SoO.OCO of the bonds of the town ot Orcm. but has been called upon to take but $20,000. The Staic Auditor, whom you quote as authoriy on the security back ol thc;c loans fails to corroborate your assertion that the c ! curit) is inadequate. ROAD BUILDING j Road building is another topic m which you 'appear specially interested. Let s compare achievc I ments: During your eight years in the saddle I the records indicate there were built a total oi about 31 miles of hard-surfaced highway and v 4 miles of earth roads at a total cost ot approxi mately $2 400.000, or at the rate of about $20,000 ' a mile for hard-surfaced and $2900 for earth roads. ' ' Since this administration assumed charge in i 1017 there have been built or a"re under contract ' 17 miles ot hard-urfaccd highways and 840 miles of earth roads ai a total cost of about $8,700,700. or an average of $28,550 a mile for hard-surfaced 'and $3684 for earth highways); Even during the car 1620. when construction coMs were at th? crest, our average for hard-surfaced hjghwaj s was but approximately S30000a mile, while for Similar ; roads Colorado paying $38,000 a mile: Idaho. 'S43,000; Xebraka and Iowa. $46,000; Illinois. $44000; irginia. S40.000; Xeu York. $41,000: ! Pcnnsyivaia. S62.00O: Xcada about S50.000; Wyoming! about $65,000. The arrangement for power in road construe ' tion in southern Utah appears to worry you. The j State Road Commission, requiring power for its bard-surfacing operations in that section, built or had built, under contract, a power line as a part of its equipment and further contracted for the sale of the line to tbc Dixie Power Company at its initial Cost when the road work is com pietcd, power charge.- at legal rate being de ducted from -ale price. (Taid Ad BONDED INDEBTEDNESS iiraciotis of you to admit that a million dollars iii bonds authorized ha e not been issued and that you bequeathed this administration a deficit of SJ0O.0LO. by not state the fact that all th : jflfl bonds issued by this administration were for good roads $6,000,000 in all and that the interest mBB and sinking funds covering these bonds arc cared HnH for from tbc automobile license fund and do not IBB add a cent to the general taxes? H STATE DEFICIT You make much a partisan private audi- I tor's estimate of several months ago that April Bl next year would imd a deficit oi 1 00 in ib' statc's accounts. Wrong, as usual, By that time B not only should the S-I00.0C0 handicap you left be overcome, but tin indicaps placed on this ad I ministration by war and recdristruction as well, and the new biennium started clear ol floating debt. When mentioning this item in tbc future. V won't you also explain the floating debt of H $700,000 ou wore wrestling with about this time four ago? H INCREASED APPROPRIATIONS You assert appropriations for 1919 and 1920 IS to be some 40 per cent more than for 1915 H I'do, the last to ear of administration. Add S4U0.XK) to your appropriations ami you have what you -pent. Then, in considering tbc H I919-192to appropriation-, make due allowance for the items left us by you llatchtown settlements, H S70.000; University of Utah loss in Qreen River Irrigation bohds, S20,(XXJ. purchase 6f lands for H capitol ground-, winch could ba c been bought MH during your regime at lower figures. $100,000; H more than $375,000 for permanent improvements Hl .it oiu state institutions; -which had utgrpwi I their facilities beiorc you were out of office. $11 Then, besides, w e expect to save On the side 3 ihe $400,000 that oti -pent, but didn't appro- 91 priate. Add t - all this about 100 per cent increase H in the cost of doing business because of war .jg.. conditions and our appmpriations foi 1919-1920 ' will be equivalent to 40 per ceni or more under H our boasted achievement. H NUMBER OF EMPLOYES Your guess on the interpretation of tbc Con stitution was only "0 per cent off. N ou guc-s 165 employes have bcc.i added to the state - H forces. The auditor's records show the increase H to be 77. Of course, wore thoughtlc-- H listen to the mandate of the people on such mat- H ters - PROHIBITION after your splendid prcce- E dent, and enacted progressive laws and built roads such as the people wanted. 3 OVERHEAD EXPENSE I he assertion that the overhead expense in state road work iu March, 1920, u as 24J.87 per cent is incorrect, In thi t pcdittifi 9,000,1 MH in road work during thi- administration- about four times your achievement in eight years the overhead expense is less than 1 per cent, in all B its estimates for road work the federal govern- 9 ment allows 10 per cent for overhead. H STATE AUTOMOBILES I d not understand why the information you H offer the public differs -o greatly from the records. including the records you left for us. You say H you le it as six automobiles and thai wc have H bought 75. making a total of 81 now owned bv H the state. The record- in the auditor's office show H your administration bequeathed us 13 automobiles H and that the state now owns a total of 02, 25 oi H which were given the state by the federal govern- IB9 ment. Of course, this administration is doing Biri about a S45,000.000 business as against $18,000,000 Rjfll from 1913-lc'i6, inclusive, and, our representative HII being denied the luxury of railroad passes, they SvcJ must either pay fare or the state, must supplv SVai automobiles for the transaction of business.
