Most Utah employers are J paying higher unemployment . taxes this year despite a "substantial rise in employment levels and wages. In some instances, the tax rate increases amount to more than 27fc and employers with the best employment employ-ment experience have received the lartest tax boost. These were some of the facts brought out in a research study just completed by Utah Foundation, Founda-tion, the private tax research organization. Paradoxically, the unprecedented unprece-dented increase in employment and wages ; experienced in Utah during recent years is the major reason for the boost in the en-employment en-employment tax rates in 1973, say Utah Foundation analysts. Under Utah law, the unemployment un-employment tax rate schedule is determined by 4he ratio of the unemployment reserve fund balance bal-ance to total wages paid by all covered employers.'Thus, when total wages rise faster than the reserve fund balance, higher unemployment un-employment taxes are automatically auto-matically applied.

Lynn Bryson plays a guitar and writes and sings his own songs. He wrote, recorded, and sold "The Missionary Song" which was the largest selling law provides that the larger tax boosts are to be applied to em ployers with the best employment employ-ment experience. This results in a reduction in the tax spread between high cost and low cost employers, and tends to eliminate part of the incentive to maintain e mploy ment stability under Utah's experience rating plan. Continuation of this trend could lead to the eventual elimination of experience rating for unemployment tax rate purposes in Utah. Foundation analysts point out that Utah has had an experience rating plan in effect since 1947. This plan provides reductions from the standard 2.7 en-employment en-employment tax rate for those employers who minimize unemployment un-employment by maintaining favorable fav-orable employment and payroll experience. Over the years, these merit rating reductions have saved Utah employers more than $185 million. In 1972 alone, the reductions from the standard 2.77c rate amounted to $12.2 million. mil-lion. One reason for the present unemployment finance problem in Utah, according to the Utah Foundation analysis, is that unemployment un-employment benefits are tied to an ever-rising wage level, while the taxes required to finance fi-nance the program are pegged to a fixed wage base of $4,200 per year. Thus, with benefit amounts rising but taxes limited to a more-or-less stable wage base, the average tax rate needed to finance the program must increase. in-crease. The present $4,200 wage base was established by the 1963 Utah Legislature. Prior to that time, the wage base in Utah was $3,000. An Advisory Council to the Department of Employment Security Se-curity has recommended that the taxable wage base be raised in miHi.ri.ui.ih u I t II fbui tiki let.

The Advisory Council also rcom-mended rcom-mended that tax schedules be devised de-vised which will maintain the reserve fund at least at its present pre-sent level and that" the reserve fund ratio not be allowed to go below the range of 2.0 to 2.2 of total wages. At the close of the 1972 calendar year the reserve re-serve fund ratio was 2.76 of total wages. These recommendations of the Employment Security Advisory Council were submitted to the Utah Legislative Council for further fur-ther study prior to the 1975 session of the Utah Legislature. At that time the Utah Legislature Legis-lature will have to take some action if the experience rating 0 0 SAN ANTONIO -- U.S. Air Force Reserve Lieutenant Colonel William F.

This is the annual G.R.A. Day at Lagoon. Geneva Recreation Association members and their families are treated to unlimited free rides, free parking, free , refreshments and reserved picnic teraces. Most of Lagoon's rides, including in-cluding the roller coaster, have been leased by the G.R.A. for the day. Tickets for all other rides may be purchased by G.R.A. members at one-third discount. Admission will be by G.R.A. membership card only. Lagoon will be open from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Chairman of the event is G.R.A. Director Clyde Rob-bins. Rob-bins.

Failure of the Legislature to act would result re-sult in the wage base remaining at the present $4,200 level but would cause the tax rates to continue to rise. Eventually all employers in the state would be paying the standard 2.7 rate, and for all practical purposes, experience rating in Utah would cease to exist. Tfp nor -r-in' v m '-" ' William F.

His desire to "make Europe work" is one of the reasons rea-sons behind the current Trust Houses Forte advertising campaign, cam-paign, "the biggest smile in Europe." Sir Charles himself personally prepared the brief for this campaign, and appears ap-pears in some of the ads along with the THF staff.

You see, there are heating systems, like electric radiant baseboard and ceiling heat, that have no moving parts at all. No noise (which is nice), and no annual maintenance (which is even better). Other types of electric heat, like forced air ducted systems, sys-tems, need only infrequent filter changes and a bare minimum mini-mum of preventive maintenance. Trouble-free performance is just one more reason why you should consider electric heat for your family. Someday You Will Probably Heat Electrically Why Wait? Name. Address . City. State .
