Show Page Eight FRIDAY, MARCH 13, 1959 . THE SALT TIMES House Speaker Answers Charges By Governor (Continued from Page 1) are the plain, unvarnished facts. "1. Utah has not yet lost its fine credit rating, but we are practically broke. The reserves which have been built up over the years are shrinking and have been depleted and we are faced with the necessity of in-creased taxes, including addi-tional property tax starting this year in order to cover the sky-rocketing appropriation bills. "2. Over the past ten years ex-penditures have been increasing at the alarming rate of 12 per cent per year. Consequently, very little is left for capital im-provements which keep falling further and further behind. "These things compelled me to agencies and institutions have mushroomed all out of propor-tion in the number of employees and salaries paid. Ten years ago there were only 157 employees in the state receiving over $350 a month; now there are over 1500 such employees, many of whom receive in excess of $1000 a month. "Now my proposal is to permit only, 44 per cent of the bi-annu- al budget to be spent pending fur-ther legislative action. This will give us about a year to deter- - mine the actual needs of all con-cerned. I believe the people of this state would rather have less government than more taxes. During my forthcoming term in the Legislative Council I hope to do something about state fi-nances. "Today the House passed a new tax bill, upon which the Gover-nor demanded our action. This bill is going to affect every man, woman and child in the state, as well as everyone who visits our state. Now, every time you have any laundry or dry cleaning done or any shoes repaired, your car or television repaired, or any other service, you are going to poy 2 per cent service tax. I voted against the bill because I oppose additional tax measures, and I intend to devote the next two years of my time in an effort to curtail the state's spending orgy. "When I was Speaker of the House in 1941 the annual income was $30,000,000. Our annual in-come today is over $150,000,000 so obviously we have sufficient income if it is wisely spent." recommend that we follow the sound business practice of ap-propriating state funds on a yearly basis instead of two years. This is currently the procedure in most of the states. No business would dare try to anticipate its income and expenditures 2 and a half years in advance, as we are attempting to do. It is a fact j that governmental departments, Medical Profession Gives Half Million to U. Center he added a wcrd of caution. t "The goal cf the Medical Divi-sion is $600,000 which leaves us $100,000 to go. Naturally, I am very pleased with the fact that we have raised a half million dollars for the Medical Center, but I want to remind my co-workers that there is still much to be done if we are going to o over the goal we have set for ourselves. "We are just moving into an important phase of the cam-paign the soliciting of out of state alumni of our College of Medicine. With hard work on this phase and continued good support by local members of the profession, I am sure that we will go over the $600,000 mark," he said. Pledges and contributions by members of the medical pro-fession to the University of Utah Medical Center fund reached the half million dollar mark this week, according to Leland B. Flint, campaign chairman. "I am happy to announce that the medical division of the cam-paign has pledged $500,000 so far," Mr. Flint said. "I want to take this opportunity to thank the many physicians, parents and nurses whose contributions and hard work has enabled the medi-cal profession to reach the mark. I believe that this speaks elo-quently fpr' the support the medical profession is giving to the center," he said. The University of Utah Medi-cal Center Campaign has a total goal of $4,010,000. Purpose of the campaign is to raise funds for construction of a medical Center to house the College of Medicine on the University campus. Clarence Bamberger Sr., Salt Lake City businessman serving as a campaign vice chairman, give his comments on the Medi-- J cal Division report: "I am sure that the eyes of the arpa havp heen on the medical Dean "Mildred Quinn of the College cf Nursing said she was particularly proud of nurses in the state for their roie in the campaign. The backing we now have received from nurses in the slate has been generous. All of us in the College of Nursing thank them for this support," she said. The Medical Center vill re-place the present inadequate profession to see how it would support the medical center. Hav-ing reached the half million mark with their part in thei campaign not over yet, I believe j the magnitude cf that support is evident. I congratulate thei many workers who have taken part in the medical division and the many people who have made their contributions." Dr. A. Ray Olpin, president of the University, said, "The gen-erous support given by mem-bers of the medical - profession should serve as a guide to all of us in supporting the Medical Center campaign. On behalf of the staff of the entire University I offer my congratulations and my sincere thanks to the medical profession." Dr. Kenneth B. Castleton of Salt Lake City, Medical Divi-sion chairman, also praised the efforts of his colleagues in mak- - . - ing the half million figure but facilities of the Colleges of Medi-cine and Nursing. It will be situ-ated high on the Fort Douglas campus incorporating the Can-cer Research building and gy Laboratories now on the site. The University of Utah Col-- : lege of Medicine is one of the leading medical schools in the nation attracting large sums of research money into the state each year. However, the school is at a crossroads it needs the Medical Center to enable it to continue to grow and keep pace with the rapid advances in medi-cal science. As the only medical school be-tween Denver and the coast, it serves a vast area holding nearly three million people. The Medi-cal Center will enable the school to increase its services to these p.?opie and thus is of the utmost importance to the entire inter-vi:t;u:ua- i;i community. r r i News Preview j Indian Premier Nehru is! thwarting UN efforts to in-- !

"Both Gov. Furcolo and Gov.
