Show THE BOX ELDER JOURNAL, Brigham June 1964 18, Thursday, TJfreraonattu peaking By CWC Did you know that 14 different agencies of the federal government own land in Utah? In fact, of they own more than the state, 68.361 percent to be extwo-thir- act. That means that of Utah's total of 52,696,960 acres, we have no control over 36,024,233 acres held by various federal bureaus, departments and services. That leaves 16,672,726 acres owned by the State of Utah and private firms and individuals, 31.639 percent. Only Alaska and Nevada have a higher percentage of land held by the federal government. On these federal lands, the sale of mineral leases and permits, timber, grazing permits, fees and other 1 sources turned into a healthy worth of revenue during fiscal 1963. Of this amount $3, 808,508 was allocated to the state of Utah to be an important source of revenue. $10,-907,78- Now comes a move to earmark this revenue as well as that received from state owned lands to provide edditional funds for public education. To do this, proponents will circulate petitions hoping to get the necessary 37,000 voters to sign them so that an initiative will be put on the November general election ballot so that a public decision can be reached. 0 tT Utah C ,.i, . ir'.rv!trU 1 K 3 haven't seen the proposed set of bills that the people would be expected to vote on so have no knowledge of how the proponents would create this fund but in general I am opposed to the earmarking of specific sources of revenue. :5uch monies should go into the general funds and be appropriated by the legislature. Only in this way can they be controlled by representatives of the general public. It would be well also, to point out that this isn't creating new revenue sources but is merely diverting income for a specific purpose. I havent heard an explanation of I X OUR READERS WRITE 18 5. tfc. how 'this 'money would be raised to replace this source of income for the state but it would surely have to come from somewhere or exendi-ture- s cut by a like amount. So what would be accomplished? It would set up a fund for public education over which the legislature would have no control. Proponents arent specific about who would control the fund other than to say it would be available to the district schools and providing for its management and distribution to most effectively improve the standards of education in the state." They do point out that it would be in addition to the state's uniform school fund, which is appropriated by the legislature. This move should be carefully studied. Readers View Other Side Of Spending Publics Money Editor: Your editorial of June 16 crusading for the approval of Special Improvement District No. 15 (curb, gutter and streets, Brigham) puts me in mind of several of your recent editor, lals (1) Objecting to the spend, lng of funds you say they dont have, by the National Adminis. tration; (2) Advocating the spending of money the local school board doesnt have, by urging the 3.5 million dollar school bond, and (3) Announcing and editorializing In almost the next Issue of your paper, the substantial deficits facing the school board owing In part to overstlmatlng school enroll-men- t.

The simple arithmetic of dividing $240,000 cost by two miles (10,560 feet) demon, strates the error of your facts.

So It would seem appropriate to state a few at this point: First, through a typographical error, the two miles figure given in the June 16 editorial referred to above, should have read nearly four miles (the exact figure is 3.72 miles.)
