We refer to this issue of who sheuld have jurisdic- . over state highways which run through municipal-!s municipal-!s Murray citizens believe that they need an addition- I traffic semaphore in their downtown area, and have stalled one without the consent or blessing of the state mad commission the action being dictated by what Jhev believe to be a safety need. Litigation: Utah State Road Commission vs. Murray City is under way. 'Orem, likewise, during recent years has been at the mercy of state officials with regard to safety regulations regula-tions for State Street. No matter what our feelings about speed limits, traffic semaphores, traffic lanes, pedestrian lanes, use of the highway for parades and community celebrations, the State Road Commission sets the regulations. Orem people have asked for traffic semaphores, only to be told that according to the State Road commission com-mission "formula" we don't need one. Orem folk can't understand why the speed limit through Orem is set at 40 and 50, while in some smaller southern Utah towns they bring their traffic down to 25. It seems to us that during Orem's celebration parades traffic might be routed off State Street for an hour or two. Yet, the State Road commission, somewhat arbitrarily we feel, insisted that State Street traffic continue during the last parade we held. The deisels and the oil trucks didn't add much. We feel that some sort of a compromise might profitably profit-ably be reached. State Street is of utmost importance to Orem, and our use of it and our distinctive traffic problems might well be considered in setting reigulations for the five miles of U. S. 91 which is our State Street. FAREWELL TO SUMMER It is always interesting to see the comparative amounts of money spent. on different pursuits and activitieslike activ-itieslike the huge sums spent on liquor and gambling in the United States, for instance, as compared with the much smaller sums spent on education. .. Recently we happened across a statement that New York City which, be it remembered, is permanent host to the United Nations spends as much to clean its streets and other costs of its department of sanitation as the whole annual budget of the UN. We would not have New York any less clean. In fact, there have been times when ' we would have had it a feood deal cleaner. But when we think of the problems with which the UN and its specialized agencies must deal the hunger, filth, ignorance, and unrest of masses of people all over the shrunken globe we hope the world organization's smart New . York appearance will fool no one into thinking it doesn't need the fullest possible poss-ible sunport from the world's wealthiest nation even to keep alive. sympathetic Understanding AT TIME OF NEED Experience gained through serving so many families of every faith and creed gives Berg Mortuary a sympathetic understanding un-derstanding of the problems of the bereaved be-reaved family.

Increases in taxes affect me just as much as everyone else. My one wish is that we were reducing taxes. . . - The Senate Finance Committee is now writing its version ver-sion of the House-approved 1951 tax bill. It appears that the tax increase will not now become effective until November 1 and that taxes will hot be withheld until that date. I am concerned over ;a philosophy which has obtained widespread belief in the country over the past 20 years. This is the belief that "the rich" can pay the bill. Certain . people continue" to encourage that philosophy phil-osophy and they continue to en; courage class feeling by constant criticism of what they call "the special privileged." I agree, however, that taxes should be made applicable as far as poss-ibe poss-ibe on the ability to pay. People do not like to read figures, fig-ures, and I realize that figures often can be used to tell any side of a story. I should like, however, to summarize the present pres-ent tax picture, using U.S. Treasury Treas-ury figures: The low income group representing rep-resenting over 42 million people or 96.2 percent of all individual over 13 billion dollars annually in taxes. The upper income group, earning more than $10,-000, $10,-000, (3 8 of all taxpayers) contributes over 10 billion dollars dol-lars in taxes. Another major tax source is corporate income which contributes more than 22 billion dollars annually to pay the cost of government. The remainder re-mainder of the federal income accrues from various forms of excise taxes. Since taxes of all kinds are now taking approximately 30 percent of our national income, it can readily be seen that the nation' is fast reaching the point of no return. The low income group cannot stand many more tax increases. While additional taxes will be imposed on all groups in the new tax bill, it is recognized that if those in the upper income brackets brack-ets were to have all of their untaxed un-taxed income after the usual exemptions ex-emptions taken from them, the 20 billion dollars would pay less than one-third of the total budget request by President Truman for 1952. Corporation taxes, which also will be increased, could not meet the cost of government even ev-en if the government took all of their untaxed taxable income which also amounts to slightly more than 20 billion dollars. Let's look at the federal budget: bud-get: President Truman anked for over 71 billion dollars for the 1952 fiscal year. But he is requesting new obligational authority au-thority amounting to over 94 VERMONT billion dollars for: the same period. per-iod. This eventually must be paid, along with the present 257 billion national debt. . Individual income taxpayers now pay the government almost 24 billion dollars a year in taxes. In addition, they pay another 8 billion in taxes in the form of excise levies of various sorts. Taxes alone will not stop inflation. in-flation. The government is going go-ing to have to cut- expenditures. I hope the Congress will make some big reductions all along the line and this includes cuts in the defense budget. I don't want essential defense items cut, but I believe economies san be effected ef-fected and that non-essential items can be cut to save the American Am-erican taxpayers billions of dol lars in defense appropriations alone- I voted for many reductions reduc-tions an the appropriation bills are considered by the Senate. Th danger in the whole argument argu-ment about who shall pay taxes and in what amount is that we may reach a point where we will destroy our system of free enterprise. en-terprise. In Britain today, with a 40 percent tax load, daily workers find it undesirable to work overtime because taxes deprive de-prive them of their extra earnings. earn-ings. Likewise with business, individuals indiv-iduals will have no incentive left to enter business if taxes are going to deprive them of all gain. And most vicious of all is the fact that taxation by government can lead to Socialism. The citizen, cit-izen, because of taxes, cannot provide for himself, so he ex perts the government to do it for him. John Price of Vernal spent last week with his sister, Mrs Birch Boyce.

Until I analyzed it I couldn't say right off. But to be truthful, most of my This N That columns are fans' requests or reader inspired. Like to- ay's column, "Count Yourself Lucky", and etc. Here at my Riverside Cottage, we have that back to school feeling feel-ing and I find myself thinking, my. but it would be fun to be a kid again. But having deeper thoughts I wonder. Our schools are so inadequate they educate a child for 'most everything under un-der the sun except to meet life on its own terms- I wonder how many generations will pass before be-fore schools will educate the child's emotions. Today's world with its international illness is nothing more than the lack of educating the emotions. Unhap-piness, Unhap-piness, discontent, hatreds, selfishness, self-ishness, stupidity, etc.. could be greatly modified if children were taught to control the emotions emot-ions and use them to advantage. COUNT YOURSELF LUCKY I have a friend who thinks I am the luckiest person alive and there are times when I find myself counting my blessings . . . . It is a grand way to assure oneself that things could be worse. "Any person can count themselves lucky if they have been brought up the hard way rather than the easy way. Stern parents, poverty, inability to learn quickly, inadequate schooling, school-ing, a large family, language difficulty, even too little love, rather than too much of it, should be counted as assets. Comparatively few individuals who are coddled in childhood reach the heights of success and contentment. It's through overcoming over-coming obstacles and fighting hard that we. develop the toughness tough-ness of fiber, moral as well as physical, necessary to achieve something superior. There are two important thoughts that have been with me since I had a very enlightening enlighten-ing conversation with a reader-There reader-There are times when I honest ly believe that my readers could write this column better than I do. So, when my friend reads this column he will say, "That's just what we were discussing at the club the other evening." P.
