This warning was issued by Utah Foundation, the private tax research organization. Foundation officials predict that this years assessed valuation will reach an high of nearly $1,300,000,000. However, the rise is somewhat misleading, due to the operation of the three-yeaveraging formula which applies to mine assessments. Were it not for this averaging formula, the somewhat below this years record of $1.3 billion. Assessments on mining property make up about 27.2 percent of the total assessed valuation. The Foundation report notes that during the past five years Utahs total valuation has increas- ed by an average of $54 million each year. These increases have been important factors in financing Utah's public school program. With incrased school needs due to rising enrollments and, a reduced property tax base forecast for 1959 and 1960, the task of balancstate budget will ing the 1959-6- 1 be complicated for the next Legislature. It is also emphasized by the Foundation analysts that the major impact of the reduction in mining assessments will fall in Salt Lake county and Jordan school district. This will add to the already grave problems of financing local government in one of the principal metropolitan and suburban areas of the state.

Utah Boys State should be thought of as being a mythical 49th state with a constitution, statutes and ordinances constructed by its citizens to govern themselves. Citizens of Boys State not only will be required to review know! edge already acquired concerning the political machinery of a but they will find themselves exactly the same funcin the tions as real everyday world. In Boys State, citizens organize their own city, county and state governments. They choose their own officials in accordance with regular election procedures. They learn the duties of the various city, county and state offices. They introduce and argue their own bills in a legislature. Justice is administered by their own law enforcement agencies and courts. In Boys State, the young citizen has the opportunity to learn for himself that his government is just what he makes it. Here each boy learns to do by doing. drop in 1957 mine proceeds would have resulted in a decrease of total assessed valuation of all property in Utah of nearly instead of the $45,000,000 increase estimated this year. The total tax base probably will decline in 1959 and again in 1960. Principal reason for this continued drop is a falling off in mining income and production. According to the Foundation reports, much of the mining property in Utah is assessed on the basis of two times the average net proceeds from the mines for the three preceeding years. Most assessments for this yeaj- - (1958), therefore, are based on the protwo ceeds of 1955 and 1956 as well as 1957 record years proceeds. Net proceeds of Utah mines totaled $160 million in 1955, $173 million in 1956 but dropped to $103 million in 1957. A further drop to $80 million is predicted for 1958. Next year, one of the record years (1955) will be dropped from the formula and rea year of deplaced by 1958 pressed mining activity. The same situation will occur in 1960 when the second record year (1956) will be replaced in the formula by 1959. Unless a sudden change occurs in mineral prices and production within the next year, mine assessments are due to decline markedly during each of the next two years. Two new bulletins on the control of corn earworms and earwigs have just been released, according to Robert L. Hassell, Utah State University Extension Agent for Carbon county.
