This represents an average tax burden of $475 for every man, woman and child in the State. The average family of four paid in direct and hidden taxes and fees during the year. More than one dollar out of every three earned in Utah last year was required to make tax payments. s of Approximately this tax burden was devoted to Federal taxes either direct or indirect, Utah Foundation In other analysts reported. words, the Federal tax load imposed on Utahns was twice as great as the state and local tax load combined. In 1940, the situation was almost directly reversed, with state and local taxes being twice as great as the Federal tax burden. Although Federal taxes have increased more rapidly than state or local taxes in recent years, the Utah Foundation study pointed out that State and local impositions are a significant part of the total. Between 1940 and 1953, total state and local taxes have about trebled. A recent nationwide study revealed that Utah had the sixth $688.94, costs. highest combined state and local used. tax burden in the nation. Utahs total state and local tax burden in proportion to total income was found to be higher than that of any other Western State. According to the Utah Foundation researchers, Utah levies every major kind of tax imposed in any of the Western States with the exception of gambling taxes. Most of these taxes were imposed during the 1930s. Prior to that time, state and local governments in Utah relied almost exclusively on the general property tax for their revenue.

IIer son, riding with a licensed driver, had been killed in 1952. In her anguish and sorrow and the aching void in her family circle, her first thought was for other mothers. She felt she must do something to save others from that endless heartbreak which strikes into some 40,000 homes every year. What can I do? she pleaded. As a citizen I feel that such a plan is most worthy of everyones consideration. As a mother whose boy w as one enlist of 38,000 Americans who lost their lives, I will to recruit others to put such a plan into effect. Must other mothers and fathers be so tragically shocked info a lifesaving crusade to stop this killing on the highways? Not if you do your part in the way you drive.

A citizenry sick and ashamed of this reckless, heedless, unnecessary killing could contribute much to saving thousands whole-heartedl- y of lives. Think safety talk safety SLOW DOWN drive safely!
