Show • We are certainly not in favor of raising the gasoline tax in this state to provide road funds. It has been pointed out by ,t hose in favor of such a move that Utah has one of the lowest gasoline tax rates in the nation, four cents per gallon. But they fail to note that Utah also has one of the highest automobile property tax rates in the U.S. Neighboring states assess mqtorists only a flat $5.00 fee for plates, while utah slaps a heavy property tax for the privilage of owning a motor ve· hicle. This is supposed to go into the highway fund. We believe that there bas been ample money from taxes to keep up our highways, but the state has not re· ceived value received for the money spent on the roads.

S. Senate, this week set forth his position on agriculture. In a special statement to the Midvale Sentinel, Mr Bennett said in part: "I am opposed to the Brannan program, or to any other farm plan that permits such complete federal control of our farmers and our agricultural economy. Though In the interests of better service .and sanitation, members of the Midvale city council desire to call attention to provisions of city ordinances pertaining to garbage, Mayor Henry Beckstead stated today. With the acquisition of the new garbage truck, the following pickup schedule will apply until further notice: On Mondays both sides o£ Center St. and all of the area south of Center. Tuesdays, all of the area north of Center. Collection begins at 7:30 a.m. On holidays falling on either of these two days, collection will be made one day later in the particular district in which the regular collection would be made. The councilmen request the cooperation of all citizens in di,s. couraging the use of cardboard containers for garbage. The weight of any metal container jncluding the garbage shall not exceed 75 pounds, and city employees have the right to refuse to pick up overweight cans. The ordinance also provides that garbage shall be put on the street on· the day of collection only, and not before; also containers must not remain on the street after the d;cy of collection. Further restrictions of the ordinance provide that no trash, bricks trees, limbs, metal objects or other items except garbage, will be picked up. The city has reserved a clean-up week in the early spring for the rollection of non-garbage material. ------- "Fun Day" Slated i!:v::e!ean~~p~~~~1~'::::~~~~:~~~ At Riverton should not be discarded until our By Town Groups farmers and stock raisers them· selves can help work out a P.lan which will restore free markets without wrecking agriculture." "Thtough the Brannan plan," Mr Bennett insisted, "the administration and its 'rubber stamp' con· gressional members from Utah are attempting to regiment and socialize agriculture just as some of their other proposals are aimed at socializing medicine and the health service, housing, education, etc.n He predicted that the Utah Democratic or FaiL' Deal senate an d congressional candidates would "soft-pedal" their support Ior the Brannan plan while campaigning in Utah so as not to offend this state's clear·thinkinS: farmers. "But if they are re-elected, you ran be sure that they will follow the party line in favor of the Bran· nan plan as well as for sorialized medicine, etc. "'The Democratic administration has long treated the west'£ basic agricultural and livestock industries as 'step·children.' These in· dustries are entitled to a more equitable share of the domestic market," Bennett charged. He advocated a careful scrutiny of tbe whole U. S. tariff picture and a special probe of the tariffs affecting the farming and livestock in· dustrics of Utah and the west. P.-T. A.
