But first let's take a good look at the post office department and see if enough money can't be saved in economies to make rate increases unnecessary. For instance, the franking privilege which is no longer "enjoyed" but rather is being "abused" by congressmen and government bureaus, ought to be restricted. In Monday morning's mail we received s mail, eight pieces of 62 were and five of them franked, and carried free by the post office, or at taxpayer's exTwo were from Conpense. gressman Stringfellow, one was from Senator McCarthy, one from Senator Bennett, and one from the Army publicity bu reau. Monday morning was .typical of all our mail from 50 to 75 of it is franked by either a Washington representative or a government bureau. We aren't suggesting that the franking privilege be revoked, but we do think the flagrant . abuse of this privilege should be stopped and a limit placed upoh the amount of "free" mail politicians and bureaus can dispatch at taxpayers' expense. first-clas- -- , Week.

HERE'S WHERE TO ACROSS THE NATION FINANCING VOTE FOR QUEEN Rivers of tomato Juice that have their sources on scores of Utah farms and their destinations on thousands of American dinner tables brought $837,000 into the state last year. Claude Parry, Utah representative of American Can Co., reports that 8,734,000 cans of tomato Juice were packed in the Beehive State in 1952 Mr. Parry, whose company cooperated with canners in developing a process to retain the natural flavor and high vitamin content of tomato Juice, added that Utah . canners last year also packed the equivalent of 30,874,500 No. 2 cans of other tomato products, including whole tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato puree and tomato sauce. Utah Foundation, the private7, tax research organization, today released a study comparing the principal points of the public school finance plan recommended by the Public School Survey Commission- with ,'he modified plan proposed by the Utah Legislative Council. According to the Foundation analysts, the chief difference between the two plans lies in deciding which level of governmentstate or locals-shoul- d determine the amount needed for t minimum 'program, and bear the responsibility for imposing the necessary additional 60-ma- n taxes. The stu.dy notes that Jhls deremains with the local school boards under the Legislative Council plan. Under present school laws, which would be extended by the Public School Survey Commission plan, the responsibility is assumed largely by the state to fix the amount to be spent, and to levy substantial property or other .taxes to meet that part of school costs which bears a state label This latter procedure raises more of the added funds by rather than local tax levies. Approximately the same amount of equalization would be afforded to the poorer school districts of the state under both plans, the report states. However, the Legislative Council plan is designed .to be financed without additional state funds. Thus,, the Council plan would emphasize leaving the property taxes in the districts where they are levied and collected, achieving equalization thru the distribution of the income tax, corporation franchise tax, and other state school revenues.
