Utah Franchise Tax Being Escaped In Some Instances, Report Shows SALT LAKE CITY When a company organized primarily for such purposes conducts a mortgage loan and investment business in Utah, it pays a 3 per cent corporation franchise tax on its net income from such business. But if it is organized primarily as an insurance company, and still conducts a mortgage loan business in Utah, or sells at a profit real estate acquired in the conduct of such business or through a wise investment such income goes without tax. The state tax commission, which collects both the corporation franchise tax and the taxes paid in Utah by insurance companies, thinks such an arrangement is unfair to the mortgage loan and in- - GaOEGfc "The taxes paid by Utah mines , and smelters make up about Va of all state revenues.

In Utah insurance companies pay tax of 2XACC on the premiums they receive for insuring property or risks in Utah, after such items as returned premiums and policy dividends are deducted. If some other state charges Utah companies at a higher rate, or exacts from them other fees higher than the Utah schedule, then any company organized under the laws of such foreign state must pay on business done in Utah at the same rate as the Utah company is charged in that state. Further, all owners of taxable real estate, be they insurance companies or otherwise, pay general property taxes on tangible property owned in Utah. Insurance companies are permitted to deduct from their premium totals the of such property tax levied and paid for general state purposes; but since 1945 and during a maximum Hearty Macaroni Dishes the Whole Family Will Enjoy By ALICE DENHOFF FOR today a good round-u- p Turn Into 9x4x2 -- Inch loaf pan of which has been greased with at macaroni dishes, all new, all something special, and right for just now.

Moreover, the chapter in the Utah code dealing with taxation of insurance companies provides certain fees for filing reports and for insurance of various licenses to agents and other representatives. Such fees are collected by the state insurance commissioner in the department of business regulation, and they yield more than three times the cost of operating the commissioners office. But, after setting out these various fees and charges, the Utah law provides: The taxes and fees as provided herein shall be in lieu of all other state, county and municipal licenses and fees of every Such lankind and character. to mean that inis taken guages surance companies are not liable under the corporation franchise tax law, so long as they are in the insurance business. Since the passage of the original corporation franchise tax act in 1931, remarks the tax commission in its biennial report, the business of insurance companies has expanded into fields other than that of the immediate insurance business; so that at this time insurance companies are engaged in the loan business on a large scale and at times make profits from the sale of real estate. These activities are in competition. with other corporations doing banking or real estate business. As a matter of equity, it appears quite clear that the insurance companies, if they are going to engage in business which is now being taxed when it is being done by institutions other than insurance companies, should be brought into line to pay a comparable tax with their competitors. Taxes paid by insurance companies are steadily growing in dollars paid, and have been for many years. In the twelve motnhs ended with last June the insurance companies paid almost $985,000 to the tax commission. For the current fiscal year, if the rate of increase continues, the yield from the tax will be more than $1 million, it was pointed out by Patrick Healy, Jr., chairman of the commission. Fees paid by companies to th( insurance commissioner were more than $08,000 in the last calendai year, while the expenses of the office were just over $21,000. Total tax commission collections now run about $30 million a year and true revenue to the state froir all sources is well over $70 t, (to make blend tbsp. shortening with Yt tbsp. flour).

One Stroke of Pen Could Make British King Richest Man LONDON, Eng. -- The British kings could be the richest men in the world with one stroke of the pen if they so desired. And all because the Socialist government is nationalizing more of his revenue. This curious situation causes constitutional lawyers to have nightmares whenever they think about it. For one thing, if the Windsors ever tire of being kings and queens and want out, it would require a final decision on whether George III and subsequent monarchs up to Queen Victoria turned over their estates to the crown for an annual revenue permanently or only as long as Britain had a continuous royal family. If it isnt a permanent deal, that stroke of the pen from George VI or his descendants would boom the Windsors from the class to the It category. no but will never happen probably one can stop lawyers from speculatricher-than-Croes- ing. In 1760 George III he lost the American colonies made a deal for 89,000 pounds ($239,200) a year in return for giving over to the crown certain lands. As succeeding rulers turned over more land, the annual guaranteed Income grew until George VI now gets 410,000 pounds (1.148.000) a year. The crown lands comprise some of the juiciest real estate in Britain today. There are hundreds of thouland sands of acres of mineral-ric- h and priceless chunks of Piccadilly Circus (Londons Times Square) and its finest shopping street, Regent street. The income from these lands is close to 2,000,000 pounds a year (5.300.000) which is a tidy profit on the deal for the people. The Windsors, theoretically, would get all that and infinitely more besides. There is the foreshore of the i whole British coast, for example, all the land between high and low tide. Buckingham palace and its art r! treasurers, which include five tons i of gold plate, a conservative 6,000,-00- 0 I combination, ($16,800,000) and several other great castles. All this could be had with a stroke of the pen so the experts believe.
