I think everyone agrees it isn't what social security What pays. think people I had better start informing their Congressmen and Representatives that more reforms are needed on retirement taxation no matter where their retirement income comes from. Who are government employees - are they people who work for Beaver City, Beaver County Milford , Utah or the U.S. Government? I always preferred to be called a federal employee. Yes there are some retirees around who retired on a full disability and don't pay taxes, that have jobs and still don't pay taxes, that are not disabled at. all. Really.

Also I find quite complete agreement that the social security benefits are inadequate to support life in an acceptable manner and that most people feel the earnings limitations ought to be overhauled or eliminated. The Impoundment of funds and closure of some offices by the president has greatly upset many members of Congress and has been the object of much discussion as the the constitutionality of his acts. I have no word on constitutionality but found this Information In the Readers Digest which shed a little light to go with the heat. EXERCISE IN FUTILITY recent Brookings Institution study of the federal budget and national priorities shows that during the' past decade, federal spending for domestic social programs has risen from $30 billion in 1963 to $110 billion this fiscal year -up $80 billion.., , The price tag on the major "Great Society" programs alone comes to $34 billion more this year, than in 1963. There are an estimated five million families living below what we define as the or poverty level. Our federal spending then is the equivalent of $16,000 a year more per impoverished family than it was. The money spent on just "Great Society" programs alone equals about $7,000 a year more for each of these families. The point is not that money earmarked to help the poor have been misappropriated, but that the enormity of the sums spent is all out of proportion to the impact on the problems involved. The Brookings report makes one realize that good intentions without clear understanding of their consequences are an exercise in futility, as well as a misuse of funds. A 'low-incom- e" point here is that not only is there evidence that some of the monies impounded might have been less than well spent but also that such money are not all taken from wealthy corporations but come from people as you and I who must work My and struggle, and that we deserve better.

He pointed out that Utah statutes make it "unlawful for any person with Intent to threaten, or offend annoy frieghten, another and address to or about such person any obscene, lewd or profane language . . ." The penalty upon conviction Is a$299. fine andor six months in jail. In addition to state laws against such calls, Mountain Bell may either temporarily deny or even terminate phone service to any customer who makes abusive or annoying calls, the telephone manager said. He offered residents some tips to discourage abusive calling: Hang Up! - If the caller does not say anything. - If the caller does not identify himself to your satisfaction. - At the first obscene word. - If the caller Is a pushy salesman who wont let you go grac, iously. Dont Keep Talking! "We consider such calls a serious breach of decency Involving both Insult to our customers and an Improper use of telephone service. We will make every effort to cooperate with law enforcement agencies to identify and prosecute these culprits," Vlckers said.
