It will not be the reduction Gov. J. 'Bracken Lee resolutions ad memorials. "S . requested of his Republican party majortiy in the two houses, however. The governor asked that individual exemptions bo raised to $700 each, and he asked that the cut be made retroactive, went GOP lawmakers His along on the idea of making any cut apply to 1952 income, out feared a reduction the size asked ' by the chief executive would bring on more property tax for schools. With this in mind they accepted a Utah Legislative Council recommendation to make the exemptions $600 across the board in place of the present $600 for single persons, $1200 for married couples and $300 for dependents. That much of a cut will mean a reduction of about $1,500,000 per year in income tax revenue. On the surface it appears only the family man gets a break from the action. Republicans insist, to the contrary, that everyone will pay less. They base this on a new short form, which the governor presented through the State Tax Commsssion. ! i , rTVliO cVij-.4- - aiiuih Taotv xirilli Auupia 41 lilt? federal income tax law be ref erence, thus accepting its equitable features, such as al lowances for medical expenditures and the like. It also provides for the tax payer to figure his income tax on a d size form in a most convenient manner. First he lists his gross income. Then he deducts either ten per cent for contributions, etc., or lists the total deductions he shows on his federal return, whichever is greater. Then from the remainder be the federal income tax paid. What is left is his taxable net income. With the tax matter virtually out of the way this third week, and the governor's budget, pared to conform to tax reduc- -' tions, in the hands of the appropriations committee, the two houses left fund matters alone .for the time being. They dug post-car- sub-strac- ts Several proposed constitutional amendments were drawing considerable attention. Most fireworks revolved around a proposition to limit taxation on all tangible property to 1 per cent of market value for all government purposes. Opposition came from city and county while just as governments, strong for the bill were real estate interests. Surprising strength was found in a proposal to amend the constitution to provide for one senator from each county.. Just House half the sponsored a measure that would put the proposition before the electorate in 1954. To bring about such a vote would require passage of the resolution in bv a majority both houses. The cry for higher salaries for state, city and county officials whose salareis are set by law continued to grow. As a result, the two houses set up a joint committee of three members from each body to study the problem and to recommend an equitable and fair salary adjustment all along the line. Another set of bills certain to get some attention involves an attempt of the Utah State Press Association to provide a closer contact between local government and the people. The bills would require publication of meeting procedures of and of county commissions third class city and town governments. To provide relief in the rising costs of printing, one other measure would raise the rate on publication of legal notices from a maximum of ten cents per line to a legal rate of 15 cents per line in all ' cities and towns of 25,000 and under.
