SEVENTEENTH YEAR H ' BAMBERGER ADMINISTRATION RAISES CACHE COUNTY VALUATIONS $5,000,000 1 Some Interesting Figures For Cache Taxpayers f Stop! Look! Listen! Your Property Raised by Millions. No Further f Use For Thousands ' : P Cacho county citizens will recall v how Candidate Bamberger waxed el oquent telling them how he was go ing to' reduce taxes when ho was cam- palgning for votes. Cache county citizens have been Interested in koep ing tab on Governor Bambeiger just U see how he is making good.. Cache gcounty citizens have long slnco been W disgusted with the way tho Bam berger administration met Its prom ises with Its acts. Cacho county cit izens are entitled to tho facts. Let ill review them for a few moments. Illcie they aro: On December 1G, 1914, tho Stato Hoard of Equalization, of which tho Hon. Hardin Bennion, present Secre tary of State was a member, report ed to Governor Spry as follows: "This blennlum began with a to tal valuation of tho property ot the state ot $200,262,873, being an In crease of $82,215,657 during the pre ceding ten years. The total assess I ment for the year 1313 was $213,- 868,897, and for 1914; It fa $221. 720,400. Tho Stato Board of Equal- m r Ization under Covornor Bamberger has Just informed the people that the valuations for the present year will be $700,075,000 , or nearly three quarters or a billion dollars. Verily the Democratic party has become bo accustomed to talk and act in bll- 1 lions that the state administration I apparently feels that Utah must be I in tho billion dolar class. Ot course I it must be remembered that In 1916 I the state went on to tho "full cash '1, valuo" basis which raised valuations B"&C senerally, but to bring the matter rM Ljlght up to the threshold of tho peo- VI f of, Cacho county to whom Oover- ' nor Bamberger has Just tendered a M $5,000,000 ralso, listen to the fol- irSi lowing: ft Cache county valuations for tho AJr past five years are aa follows: 'jj7 1H $8,328,725 &F 1915 8.749.49G Jtb 1916 25,639,113 HF 1917 25,953,490 jU' 1918 .". '29.000.000 Tho valuation for the present year i 1919, as submitted by tho assessor h nnd assessed by tho State Board ot ' Equalization was $30,000,000 or a i ralso of $1,000,000 oxer last year.

Somo ralso that! and at tho samo time tho levy creeps up. And tho end Is not yet. When nil this ralso Is Incked on nnd tho people havo paid it, tho states will then bo short about $200,000, nearly a quarter of a million dollars. Talking in mil lions and billions is alright for a millionaire governor, and an army ot well paid ofllco lioldors, but It is like General Sherman said about war, to tho taxpayer "hell." The samo conditions prevails throughout tho entire fabric ot the Democratic administration, both In state and nation. Senator King Is watching conditions at Washington like a cat watches a mouse, and hard ly a day passes that he does not find occasion to charge his fellows with wanton extravaga'nee. He has de clared time and again that It seems impossible to disconnect any of the "war help" and thereby lessen the burden of the people. Senator King's cause is just but his Democratic brethren can do nothing for him. In explanation ot the raise Presi dent Boberts of the State Board of Equalization said that the legisla ture had appropriated approximate ly $1,860,000 and In order to get tho monoy the tax valuations were $100,000,000 short. The only thing left for the board to do was to raise tho taxes In order to get tho money. In accordance therewith Cache coun ty farm property was raised 30 per cent; gracing lands, 25 per cent; cattle, other than rango cattle, 10 per cent; sheep other than rango sheep, 100 per cent, and merchan dise 20 per cent. He further said: "The pcoplo of Utah should remem ber that they require more service of tho stato than in tho paBt, they have authorized said Increase of ser vlco through their legislature, and thoy cannot get that Increaso of sorvlce without paying for It, which of courso, lncroascs." Thereforo tho good people should not complain, for as President Roberta infers tho peo ple aro getting Just what thoy votpd for. Somo logic. Some people. Somo taxes. God bless WJlson, he kept us out ot war.

Governor Bamberger's announce ment was characterized by tho wit which so often has delighted his aud itors in his political speeches. F. C. Schramm, presiding at tho meeting, i declined in introducing the governor that the men assembled "wero going to start building a railroad Into the Uintah basin right hero tonight." Responding, Governor Bamberger romaiked that Mr. Schramm had an nounced good news, tho building ot tho railroad. "But I havo news to nnnounco that is even better," said he, with a smile. "I decided somo time, ago that if I am to bo connect ed with this railroad enterprise, I would lotire from politics. I will not be a candidate- for any olllce. Wero I nominated against my will, 'which Is not likely, because nomin ations are not secured that way, I would loruso to be a candidate. I mean exactly what I say nnd I want it distinctly undei stood that I nln not u candidate I want it under stood that I am out of politics."
