EDITORIAL Have you considered lately how high the high cost of living might be, or how high it might go? Here is the over-all state tax picture: From 1941 to 1947 the biennial costs of state government in Utah jumped from 5J8,b79,000 to $69,000,000, including authorized capital ex penditures of around $6,000,000. In other words, in 1947 and 1948 you figured your state government was worth about $98.59 to every man, woman and child in Utah, so you paid the bill. Now figure what it costs your family. You were easy-going during the last two years and paid the bill without too much grumbling, so for the next biennial period the State wants each citizen to pay over something like $165.90 in taxes. Of course that is only about $34.56 per month for a family of five, so maybe you can afford it. But if you think that is easy, try paying this: In the same period (1941-47) municipal, county and school costs have advanced in a similar manner, as shown by property tax increases from $18,355,000 to $33, 700,000. Then, last but not least, our federal tax load has advanced $40,000,000. This is what has happened: State Education: Our colleges, university and other state educational institutions and departments, including teacher retirement, are requesting $19,000,000 for the coming biennium in addition to $17,000,000 for buildings for a total of $36,000,000. State Boards and Commissions: (including State institutions) institu-tions) $34,846,000 is the request for the biennium. State Aid to Municipalities and Counties: They are asking for a sales tax of 1 which would yield around $6,000,- "Be a 'winter winner' against traffic accidents!" That's the advice of Police Chief Jed Mercer when driving In rain, sleet, or snow during the heavy storm season. With more vehicles on the street today than ever before, Chief Mercer cautions cau-tions every motorist to be especially espec-ially alert at the wheel and have proper equipment to cope with winter conditions. According to the National Safety Council, accident ac-cident rates increase from 24 to 53 per cent during ice and snow months, Chief Mercer urges all driving members of this community to study endorsed methods of reducing re-ducing accidents and Natalities caused by poor visibility and other oth-er hazards of winter storms. The National Safety Council, through testing and scientific research, re-search, has prepared tht following follow-ing rules designed to help all of us win the battle against the traffic hazards of winter: 1. Get the "feel" of the road surface when you start out. Test braking and acceleration ability when no other cars are near and hofnro von or faced with an emereencv. 2. Reduce speed when road tnrfsnoo ,nnwv or icy so you can stop in time. Remember at only 20 miles per hour it taKes 4 to 12 times more distance to stop on snow or ice than on dry concrete. 3. Kpph windshield and win dows clear of snow and Ice on the outside, fog and frost msiae Check your defroster and wipers 4. Use tire chains when snow or ice conditions prevail. They reduce braking distances for cars and trucks from 40 to 7U per cem., and provide "go" traction often n peri erf r.n st art or climb hills. 5. Carbon monoxide poisoning is dangerous! Never warm your car up in a closed garage. Check exhaust system and floor boards for leaks. Manifold type heaters should not be used unless ire quently examined for leaks and other defects. 6. Good tire treads are desir able because thev Improve stop niner nn wet navement but do not depend on only new treads to help on Ice or packed snow. Lone Time Between Drinks Camels can drink 12 to 15 gallons of water in half an hour and carry several hundred pounds 300 miles or more without drinking. 000 per year. Such revenues would not replace existing taxes but are in addition to present sources. District Schools: The district schools are asking for $15,000,000 from the state to assist in an extensive building program. School costs have jumped from $13,197,000 in 1942 43 to $27,820,000. The tax increase, which would follow the added approp riations, would both halt expansion of our industry and curtai that which we now have. It is apparent that we are unable to afford even our present public services. We cannot prosper by "taking in" each others wash nor can we continue to expand our tax load without wrecking our economic structure. We need the axe, pruning hook, and sharpened pencils. Combinations, eliminations, reorganizations and the rigid application of priorities, pri-orities, based on relative need, must all be utilized. Yes, the LEGISLATURE IS OUR HOPE AND OUR FEAR.

And when you look foide, and under the hood, and beneath the chassis, you'll see that their newness is not merely in outward appearance, but in design and engineering and construction os well. But, to a lot of people, the 1949 Chevrolet Chevro-let is already old. They know what it will do, and how exceedingly well it will do it ey know all about its performance, its comfort, its power, safety, durability and economy. They are the engineers and technicians tech-nicians of the General Motors Proving Ground the largest, most completely equipped, outdoor testing laboratory in the automobile world. Here, before a single new 1949 Chevro- let went into production, experimental models were tested made to show that they possess, in greater measure than ever, all those qualities on which Chevrolet has built its leadership. In short, the General Motors Proving Ground tests are your assurance that your new-model Chevrolet has proved its worth through many months and many, many thousands of miles of rough handling. Soon, you will see the new Chevrolet and when you do, you will see a car not only new, but tried and true.
