Show I Chronicle-Advertis- jSun Thursday, December 16, 1971 er mean higher Fewer taxpayers One of the basic difficulties in solving Utahs state and local finance problems is that the States population consists of a disproportionately low percentage of tax producers and a high percentage of tax consumers. This is the conclusion reached by Utah Foundation, the private tax research organization, in an examination of state and local expenditure trends in Utah. The study shows that only two states (Mississippi and South Dakota) have a lower proportional population in the (24-6normal working-ag- e brackets than does Utah. 48.4 of Approximately Utahs population is in this age group, compared with 52.2 for the nation as a whole. Thus, with a lower proportion of tax and a greater deproducers sermand for governmental vices resulting from the higher proportion of tax consumers, Utah is forced to impose higher general taxes than do other states in order to maintain the same level of governmental Public invited to see tree GIANT Blue Spruce Christmas tree elaborately illumninated with eight circuits of lights on cords and gaily trimmed for the holiday season stands in front of the new McKay Dee Hospital Center. The tree is anchored with four cables, and was donated by public spirited couple, Mr. and Mrs. Ivan R. Jackson, 3625 Iowa. Grounds and greens department workers of the hospital, James Adair and Larry Tavener, and Clarence Snyder of the Wmward Electric of Ogden, helped illuminate and decorate the beautiful Christmas tree. We are grateful to the Jacksons for the tree and to those who decorated it, and invite the public to drive to the hospital and share in our Merry Christ-- mas message. Picture by Glen Perrins. A services. The Foundation notes that ing and relatively more persons to share the tax load. These factors should mitigate somewhat the rise in Utahs state and local tax burden during the years immediately ahead. Another significant development according to the Foundation has been the movement of population from rural areas decade, during the 1950-196- 0 Utahs population under 20 years of age increased by 43 compared with a rise of only 4 bracket. The 17 in the tax consumers fact that (those under 20) were increasing much more rapidly than the working-ag- e population resulted in a steadily increased tax burden. Total state and local tax collections in Utah rose from $80 million in 1950 to $194 million in 1960 and $4 18 million in 1970. In terms of the changing economy, this tax load was equal to 9.6 of Utahs total personal income in 1950, 11.6 20-6- to urban centers andfrom large core cities to suburban communities. Such population shifts have tended to accentuate the demand for increased government spending in the fields of education, highways, health, sanitation, and other urban-typ- e services. Population increases in the younger age groups have resulted in sharply higher spending for public education during the past three decades. The Foundation report observes that the proportion of total state and local expenditures going for public education in Utah rose from 34.2 in 1942, to 47.9 in 1960 and to 50.5 in 1970. Because of a shifting of costs to Federal Social Security (old-ag- e, survivors, and disability insurance), the proportion of in 1970. 1960, and 13.4 On the other hand, there has been a slowdown in Utahs birthrate during recent years. As a result, the growth in the age bracket was only 14 in the 1960-197- 0 decade, compared with an increase of 4 in the 22 age group. in 20-6- Since the working-ag- e population now is rising faster than the population, Utah Foundation analysts expect that there should be reduced pressures for increased spend- - total state and local spending allocated for public welfare in 1942 declined from 20.4 to 6.8 in 1960. The study notes, however, that a dramatic turnaround in this trend during recent years has caus i i ed increased concern to legislators, officials, and the public. The percentage of total state and local expenditures going for welfare purposes in Utah has risen from in 1965 to 7.6 in 1970. 6.2 tax-payi- Growing instability in the family unit along with liberalized Federal laws, regulations, and court decisions are cited as factors in this recent in welfare spending. major rise Loan given approval for Nordic Valley aid of a $89,250 loan Approval application was announced today by Utah Representative Gunn McKay for the Nordic Valley Corporation of Eden, Utah, by the Small Business Administration. Congressman McKay reports the funds will be used to purchase land, existing buildings and to provide equipment to expand the present ski operation operat ed by the Nordic Valley Corporation near Ogden. Plans for development of the area were at a standstill at final action on the loan was delayed, according to the Utah Congressman, who then requested the Small Business Administration to take another ' look at the project. The Utah Congressman pointed out to officials the need for prompt action in consider- - , ation of the loan application and today indicated he was very pleased at the SBA response in the matter. Total cost of the expansion will be $178,500 with $89,250 coming from the SBA loan; $71,400 from local banks; and $17,850 from the Nordic project Valley Corporation. Nordic now employs 30 persons at the recreation site and the approval of the loan will add twenty new jobs. 42-fo- ot Creom O' The Crop - of, large Sue Here) Dozen X :6j 10-o- - Large Loaf Pkg. dot 50c) wmrnmrnmwwmm. mmmmmwmnmmm Sic E6 Mb.
