Show if ( THE SALT LAKE TIMES FRIDAY, APRIL 7, 1 961 Page Ffv jHE SALT LAKE PULSE By BOB HICKS Utahns over the past week were treated to a commentary on their state by Saturday Eve-ning Post writer Robert Calm, who pointed out the importance of our area in the missile age. With pardonable pride, we who live here in the state feel that any pats on the back are well deserved. For years those who lived in other places have looked at us as a "hick" state with no industry, nothing for our college grads to do, and as a farm re-gion with little opportunity. Articles such as the Post writing should do a great deal to correct these impressions. In a telephone interview with this writer, Governor George D. Clyde expressed general satis-faction over what Cahn had written with ' the exception of certain "facts," so called, which were garbled perhaps to meet the desire for the sensational; i.e. polygamy, which the State Executive called "highly exager-rated.- " Cahn quoted sources as saying there were as many as 20,000 polygamists still operating across the state. Why someone in this day and age when mis-siles and other weapons are be-ing developed almost in our back yards should spend time writing about polygamy does seem rather strange. Cahn's reference to certain skilled occupations being low paid points up another factor well known: Utahns are basical-ly conservative, and, although certain parts of the country may pay more for the same jobs, most natives still prefer these valleys for reasons of religion, climate, etc., rather than move away. As a transplanted New Yorker I can see 'where some outsiders might think Utah ways some-what strange. While Utahns may not receive the same pay as in other regions, they still believe in beautiful homes, as the Post pointed out, and in maintaining beautiful homes which would be a credit to any community any where. By and large, however, the magazine emphasized the posi-tive aspects of our state rather than the negative. We feel this is good. We know we are in a boom in the state, and that too great a dependency on defense spending in the long run may not be good. But we feel certain that now that Utah is really on the map, and the world is begin-ning to sit up and take notice, that a greater future than at any other time lies ahead. Director Explains Status of Your Child Dependent Parents may be entitled to claim their child as a dependent on their federal income tax re-turns even though the child had income of $600 or more during 1960 and is required to file his own return." Roland V. Wise, director of In-ternal Revenue for the Salt Lake Citv District, issued this state-ment as a reminder to taxpayers. He explained "If you have funr'shed more than half of your child's total suoport, you mav claim an exemntion for the child regardless of the amount the child earned, providing the child had not reached his or her 19th birthday bv January 1, 1961. "If the child is 19 or over, you still may claim an exemption for him if the child was a full time student during some part of five i calendar months in 1960 and you furnished more than half of the child's total support. "A full time student is one who is enrolled for, the number of hours which is considered to be full time attendance at an educational institution which has a regular faculty and curriculum and has a body of students in attendance. Your child also will be considered a student if he or she is pursuing a full time on farm training course under the supervision of an agent of a state or political subdivision of an educational institution. "Your child is not considered to be a full time student if he Tax Return," or Document No. 5013, "Personal Exemptions and Dependents," in Room 366, Fed-eral Building, Salt Lake City, Utah. or she is employed full time; during the day and attends night school, or if the child is taking a correspondence course or an emoloyee training course." Mr. Wise emphasized these special rules apply only to the taxpayer's own child (including a legally adopted child, a child placed in his home by an author-ized adoption agency or a step child). Mr. Wise also reminded par-- i ents that if their child is mar-ried and files a joint return with his or her spouse, no exemption may be claimed for that child even though all the other tests are met. Taxpayers who have any ques-tions on this subject may get Document No. 5107, "Filing a Springtime Outlook For Range And Pasture To Be Aired During the month of April, "THIS BUSINESS OF FARM-ING" will feature the spring-time outlook for range and pasture, as well as the live stock and poultry situation.

Sneaking in New York, Chas. R. Sligh. Jr., NAM executive vice resident, stated, "There is no reason why we must accept a 7evel of six per cent unemploy-ment or even four per cent. In-dustry, for its part, will not be satisfied until the only people who want to work and are not working are those who are vol-untarily between jobs " NAM'S Sligh, noting that the majority of new jobs must be found in private industry, said that two major actions of gov-ernment are necessary to en-large job opportunities. First, according to the NAM officer, is tax rate reform to restore the incentive to invest in nw business enterprises and necifically endorsed were the Herlong-Bake- r tax bills now be-co- re the House Committee on Ways and Means. The bills call for gradual reduction of all per-sonal and corporate income taxes over a five year period. Transfer of money under the tax bills to the private economic sector from the government sec-tor would boost the national economy through the creation of new jobs; the jobs themselves would result from increased in-vestment in new and existing business enterprises: Second step in enlarging job opportunities through govern-ment action, said Sligh, is the curbing of abuse of union power. Industry today is forced to yield wage increases which cannot be recovered in price increases be-cause of buyer resistance. Industry favors high wages, he said but they can only be paid out of increased production. The wage cost squeeze is costing jobs and this has lately been aggra-vated as the public has turned to lower priced foreign goods as American prices rise. Legislative curbs on the abuse of union power could reestablish true collective bargaining. The NAM program for job making also called on govern-ment or avoid or defer action which would further burden the job creating process. Among those mentioned were increasing the minimum wage, and thus throwing many people out of work in the marginal in-dustries; and increasing payroll taxes and thus further reducing profits from which job creation is financed. Large new expenditure aimed at relief of symptoms but delay-ing recovery by interfering with the prospects for tax rate reform and creating uncertainty about possible, must be avoided, Mr. Sligh concluded.
