Very often a taxpayer will purchase a painting r an art object and, after holding it for a very short time, will donate it to a charitable organization. Th.a taxpayer then claims a charitable contribution deduction for an amount as much as four or five times greater than the purchase price, representing this to be the present value. The taxpayer usually does this without getting appraisals from unbiased persons qualified to determine the value." . fair-mark- fair-mark- THE SALT LAKE TIMES et et Several Housing Authorities in Utah will begin accepting applications December 8, 1975, for a rent subsidy program designed to benefit qualified tenants along the Wasatch Front. Father John H. Burk, Chairman of the Davis County Housing Authority, and spokesman for the group, explained the Housing Assistance Program offers to qualified tenants, assistance in rent and utility payments amounting to the difference between 25 per cent of their adjusted gross income and their monthly rent payments. For the elderly or disabled, this often said Father Burk, amounts to around 75 to 85 of their rent and utilities." According to a Housing Authority statement, in order to qualify, tenants must have low income, or qualify as elderly or handicapped These deductions are being challenged for a number of reasons: (1) with a modest income. A family of It is unlikely that the experienced four may qualify for low income art dealers from whom the paint- benefits if their total income is not ings or art objects were originally over $9,600 per year and they must purchased would have sold these be paying more than 25 of their objects for less than the fair income for rent and utilities; but, market value."

Ford asking him to veto organized labors latest legislative victory. Elmo W. Hamilton, president of the Utah Farm Bureau Federation, has written the President asking a veto of the common situs picketing bill recently passed by Congress and now awaiting the President's signature. The great need at this time in our nation is to reduce, not increase the power of labor monopoly. This legislation greatly adds to the overbalance of power in the hands of organized labor and it will deal a serious blow to an already financially depressed construction industry," Hamilton said. The Farm Bureau leader said construction cost increases add to the cost of all consumer goods and manufactured items. Agriculture is the largest single user of manufactured goods. This new labor power will add to ensumer food costs, he added. Under the newly passed legislation, labor unions will have increased power to shut down construction jobs during a strike or other labor disputes. --Believe It orNot I cators represents the largest of fessional pro- music organization teachers the world.

Our performances must represent the finest musical experience available," Allen said. "The level of perfection must be the same as is expected from any major professional symphony band or orchestra in the world." But such a trip takes more than musical preparation. We must raise over $24,00'.' to make the trip," Allen said. "Through money raising efforts of our own and contributions from interested rdizens and organizations, we hope to raise the necessary finances to meet east coast commitments." he said.
