Show i Page Eight FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1959 THE SALT LAKE TIMES Spanish Fork Man Heads Utah State Press Assn. (Continued from Page 1 ) lishers view points from their side, the students and the schools of journalism. Wendell J. Ashton, vice presi-dent of Gillham Advertising Agency, spoke Saturday morn-ing to the . group. In a talk en-titled, "Pull Out Advertising's Stops," Mr. Ashton pointed out the necessity of good advertising and reminded weekly publishers of the importance of their papers in the competitive advertising picture today. Following Mr. Ashton a panel moderated by Jim Mountford gave the group some timely hints in print shop short cuts Edgar S. Bayol was the feature speaker at the luncheon Satur-day. Ed told of the job NEA is doing and hopes to do for mem-ber publishers. The' luncheon was sponsored by U. S. Brewers Foundation, Following the luncheon the publishers stayed for their an-nual USPA business meeting and elections. Jack Warner was cho-sen president of the association. J. Parr Godfrey is vice president and Jim Cornwell, secretary and treasurer. New directors elected were, H. C. McConaughy, Region 1, Harold Sumner, Region 3, R. LaVaun Cox, Region 5 Joel L. Dunn, Tooele Bulletin, was ap-pointed director from Region 2 Mayor William Barlocker, Douglas I. Simpson Address Farmers Union is my opinion on how we can do it." Mr. Simpson was re-elect- ed to a fourth term as president of the Utah Farmers Union as dele-gates wound up a two day an-nual convention at Logan. Douglas A. Bergeson, Cornish, was re-elect- ed vice president, and Carl A. Larson, Salt Lake City, was reappointed secretary-treasure- r. The only change in the Board of Directors was elec-tion of Orson Nielsen, Vernal, to replace Joseph S. Malnar, Neola for District 4 representation. An appeal for organized farm-ing, similar to labor organization was issued this week by Douglas T. Simpson, Kamas, president of the Utah Farmers Union. Simpson, speaking to delegates at the sixth annual Utah Farm-ers Union convention in Logan, said, "Maybe what agriculture needs is a union shop, actually that is what a federal marketing order amounts to." He said he thought farmers should "take a good look at possibilities along this line." "If there is to be ordderly mar-keting and guaranteed food sup-plies for all, in times of crisis, there must be cooperation and some kind of regulation. In re-turn for this, farmers have asked only a fair price on their com-modities, backed up by federal legislation." One of the highlights of the afternoon session was participa-tion by Mayor William A. Bar-lock- er of St. George in a panel discussion. Mayor Barlocker said that it is time "we stop talking about the farm program and do something about it." "Complete integration has been sweeping the country the last few years. We must solidify all segments of farm industry and work collectively together through organizations like the Farmers Union. On these pro-grams, he said,, the farmers last year received only 43c of the food dollar. In connection wtih poultry industry bills in Congress per-taining to the enabling act, he stated that it looked like it was going to pass in the next few weeks. "We need our own closed shop to bring poultry people closer together for their own protection. He commented, "We definitely need these on the book and the Right to Work off the book, then everyone who bene-fits from these programs will be paying their fair share of the cost. It is high time that we shoulder our responsibility for the common man and recognize that to few people control too much of our economy," he said. The Utah Farmers Union presi-dent pointed out that labor be-came well organized, strong and efficient because of a good tool given them by legislation. He said this was first the closed shop and then the union shop. "Laborers are doing a good job taking care of themselves, and the laboring man doesn't have to ask for a tax write off or for subsidy because he gets a good price for the product he has to sell," he said. Quoting Department of Agri-culture statistics, Simpson told the more than 250 farm leaders in the Utah State University that by 1975 there will be only five farmers where there are seven today. Even then, millions of separate farm decisions to plant or to breed will still determine the year's crop, and with better feeding methods, better equip-ment, better yields, the tendency is toward over-productio- n. He said that not even big pro-duction and efficient operation can keep farmers out of trouble if they neglect the "business of the bargaining and the market-ing ' side of their operation." "Of course, these economists are right if we gamble our fu-ture on millions of separate de-cisions. Let's fool them and this t to fill the term of J. M. Cornwell who was elected secretary and treasurer. President William B. Wallis gave his annual report, which shows the association in better shape than at any other time. Russell Innes' business of-fice report shows the best year yet. The annual association ban-quet was preceded by a cocktail party courtesy of the Salt Lake Chamber of Commerce. Featured during the banquet were, former Mayor Earl J. Glade, who gave the keynote speech, Gov. George D. Clyde, Dan Valentine, the Ambassador Quartet. Darrell Welling, Utah Motor Transport, presented the publishers' wives with imported purses. After a past presidents break-fast Sunday morning, John M. Stahle, Jr., conducted devotonial exercises which featured A. N. Rytting as the speaker. A sales film for the auto in-dustry prepared by WNR was shown, followed by a talk by Marion R. Krehbil on "What Is Your Newspaper Worth." After the concluding panel on "New Equipment Doesn't Really Cost, it Pays," moderated by Sam M. Taylor, the annual awards spon-sored by all the paper companies gave the outstanding publishers awards for the year's work on their papers. propriations in recent years were as follows: 1953, 42.2; 1954, 40.0; 1955, 39.1; 1956, 41.9; 1957, 35.7; 1958, 33.6. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1958, student fees accounted for 16.8 per cent of the univer-sity's income; federal govern-ment, 0.6 per cent, and private sources, 11.3 per cent. As for expenditures in the past fiscal year, 45 per cent went for instruction; 27 per cent for or-ganized research; 9.5 per cent for administration; 9 per cent for operation and maintenance of the physical plant; 3.8 per cent for the Extension Division; 2.3 per cent for libraries, and the remainder for miscellaneous ex-penses. Or, breaking down the expen-ditures in a different way, 54 uper cent went for salaries; 26.6 per cent for supplies and ex-pense; 11.5 per cent for assist-ance; 6.3 per cent for equipment and improvements; 1.6 per cent for travel. University Reports j Rising Costs Of '58 Education It cost more to educate each University of Utah student in the 1957-5- 8 year than ever be-fore, according to the university's annual financial report released this week by L. D. Garrett, sec-retary and controller. Whereas the cost of living, based on 1949-4- 0 slightly more than doubled by the 1958 fiscal year, the cost of educating a U. of U. student increased nearly four times in the same period. Expenditure by the university per student in the fiscal year ended last June 30 was $794 (not including costs of capital additions, organized research the Extension Division or activities not clearly related to student education) . This compared with $669 in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1967; $725 in the pre-vious high year of 1955-5- 6 and $208 in the 1939-4- 0 fiscal year. The University of Utah re-ceived $14,486,295 during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1958, and expenditures totaled auxili-ary enterprises as bookstore, University Press and the Union Building. These auxiliary enter-prises spent $1,787,644. Although appropriations to the U. of U. by the state legislature have increased steadily over the years, actually the proportion that state appropriations occupy in the overall revenues of the university have declined since 1953. Of the $14.5 million total in-come last year 27.12 er cent was from general fund appropria-tions, 3.75 per cent from state anproriations for the College of Medicine and .12 of 1 per cent from appropriations for the State Geological and Mineralogi-ca- l Survey. If income from auxiliary en-terprises is excluded (leaving a total income of approximately $12.5 million), appropriations accounted for 33.6 er cent of the university's income. Percentages of the University of Utah's in-come which came from state ap- - Foundation Notes School Cost Increase The state's share of local school costs will be increased by $12.1 million during the next bien-niu- m, if Utah's 1959 Legsilature adopts the program recommend-ed by the House Education Com-mittee. According to calculations made by Utah Foundation, the state would be required to furnish $73 million in the next two years' for local school operations under the $5,300 program recommend-ed by the House Committee. Continuation of the present $4,-80- 0 million school program will cost the state $60.9 million dur-ing the next biennium. The program recommended by the House Education Committee proposes to raise the basic class-room allowance from $4,800 to $5,300, increase the state sup-ported supplemental program from 12 to 13 per cent of the basic program and provide for additional distribution allow-ances by changing the profes-sional non-teachi- ng personnel ratio from 1 to 9 to 1 for 8. This program suggested by the House Education Committee is a scaled down version of a bill sponsored by professional educa-tion groups. The original bill would have increased the base alowance to $5,700, increasing the supplemental program to 15 per cent of the basic program, and changing the non teaching ratio from 1 for 9 to 1 for 7. The increased cost of this original bill would have been $24.2 mil-lion greater than the biennial cost of the present law. Utah Foundation analysts now point out that regular nonprop-ert- y revenue to the Uniform School Fund will be insufficient to meet school requirements in the next two years. The deficit will be $17.9 million under the present $4,800 program, $30.0 million under the $5,300 pro-gram suggested by the House Committee, and $42.1 million under the $5,700 program, as originally proposed. Utah law provides that any deficit in the Uniform School Fund is met from a state wide property tax. If no new revenue or transfers are made to the Uni-form School Fund, the required state wide property tax during each of the next two years will be 6.7 mills under the present program, 11.2 mills under the $5,300, and 15.7 mills ($15.70 per $1,00Q assessed valuation) under the $5,700 program. The state property tax levied for the school purposes amounted to only 1.0 mills during 1957 and 1958, although it has been as high as 8.5 mills in 1947 and 8.9 mills in 1948. In his budget message to the Utah Legislature, the Governor recommended that $8.5 million be transferred from the General Fund to reduce the state prop-erty tax levy otherwise needed to balance Uniform School op-erations. If the full $8.5 million transfer were made, the state property tax levy would be 3.5 mills for the present $4,800 pro-gram, 8.0 mills for the $5,300 program, and 12.5 mills for the $5,700 program. Church Urges Support Of Heart Campaign Citing Dr. Paul Dudley White's description of heart disease as "the epidemic of the twentieth century" and the Heart Fund campaign as "'the most impor-tant and timely of all the ap-peals," religious and sectarian leaders of all principal faiths are urged to observe Heart Sunday, Feb. 22. The First Presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- -day Saints Tuesday urged church members to support the coming Utah Heart Association fund campaign with the follow-ing statement: "It has been brought to our attention that the American Heart Association will conduct the 1959 annual heart campaign during the month of February in the communities of the nation, the purpose of the campaign be-ing to raise money to sustain the association in its effort to combat the disease of the heart and cir-culation. "We feel that this is a worthy cause which deserves our en-dorsement and support and we therefore urge our people to contribute liberally in response to the appeal being made for funds to assist this organization in its activities. We suggest that ward and stake officers bring this matter to the attention of church members in their respec-tive communities." The statement is signed by President David O. McKay, President Stephen L. Richards, and President J. Reuben Clark, Jr. lj It's Printing .
