Show Utah Spends More ir&c&se ThanEducation Other States im. On Thursday, June Second Section 18, 1959 Utah devotes a larger proportion of its state and local expenditures to education than does any other state in the nation. This point was Freok Horse Owned by Price Man Gains Nationwide Publicity in Newspapers noted in a Utah Foundation analysis of a special study just completed by the U. S. Bureau of the Nationwide publicity has come to a horse owned by Jack World of Price, special features about this animal having appeared in several large newspapers. The following article was published in the Denver Post of Denver, Colorado: If he were alive today, P. T. Barnum, -- who capitalized on natures caprices, could make a mint with Star, a horse opened by Jack World, stockman of Price. Born of normal parents, Star is a genuine freak. Although perfectly formed in every other way, he has no back. This strange deformity gives him an oddly short-couplappearance, his withers and flanks meeting just behind his shoulder blades. Lacking the usual saddle space, Star has never been ridden and never worn a bridle. t Neither World nor the many veterinarians who have examined him can give a reason for Stars backlessness. They have been unable to turn up a similar instance in all annals of horsedom. Star, now two years old, is not handicapped by natures goof. On the contrary, he is the fastest and most spirited of all the horses on Worlds ranch. Because of the short distance between front and back legs, he runs in a bounding, rocking gallop caused by bringing his hind legs outside his front legs, exactly like a giraffe. As a colt, Star was unable to stand normally and reach the ground to graze. He soon learned to kneel. Seeing him munching away on his knees, then seeking new grass by lurching awkwardly ahead with his rear high in the air, always caused a sensation among visitors to the ranch. Star soon earned the title of Praying Hcrse." Later World began placing his food on a box so that he could eat .without kneeling. He has overcome his inability to graze normally by spraddling his front legs apart and reaching down between them. This position is almost as comical as the kneeling stance. Stars sire is a quarterhouse, his dam part quarter and part Tennessee Walker. Both are living and seem to love their runty son as much as if he had two more feet of backbone. World doesnt know what to do with' his freak horse. He hasnt the time to exhibit him, but believes the wierd equine is a potential for some carnival or circus. Unless he sells him soon, money-makWorld plans to begin a special training program for the animal. Census. of all Approximately 44.1 state and local government expenditures in Utah during 1957 went for education. In the eight Mountain States, 37.3 of all state and local spending was for education, while the education spending percentage for the entire United States was 33.8. According to Lhe Foundation report, Utah spent nearly $200 mil lion ($199,879,000) for all state and local general government pur- ed unemployment poses (including compensation) during 1957. This amount was equal to $238 per GAINS OFFICE . . . Members of the Price Lions Club attending the state convention of Lions at Cedar City over the past Week end were successful bringing about the election of their candidate, Russell Williams, to the governorship of District 28-He was one of four district governors elected. Provo was selected as the 1960 convention city. Electric utilities, to take care of their estimated load of one trillion KWH by 1965, are expected to consume more than 300 million tons of coal, which is more than 2xk times as much coal as was consumed for electric power generation last good-nature- says Jack. d, State Opens Bids on 13.9 of the total per- sonal income of all individuals in the state. The report shows that state and local general expenditures in the eight Mountain States were equal of to $278 per capita, or 14.9 the total personal income of all individuals in the area. Nationally, state and local expenditures amounted to $246 per capita or 12.2 of the nations personal income. Foundation analysts observe that Utah devotes a larger proportion of its state and local ex- penditure total to education than other states, but it spends a smaller proportion for most of the other functions of state and local government. For example, roads and year. highways make up about 17.3 of state and local spending in Utah compared with 21.5 in the eight Mountain States and 18.6 states.
