Rampton, candidate for the Democratic nomination for United States Senator, Tues-day night advocated revision of the corporation income tax as a means of securing diversity of Utah's industry and as a means of aiding small business men. Speaking before a meeting of delegates to the Democratic State Convention in Granger Mr. Rampton stated: "Ut ah's indus-trial economy faces a serious threat from foreign competition and from eventual conversion from defense industries to com-mercial production. Diversity of our industries is vitally essential to the continued economic health of the state." Mr. Rampton asserted that the present tax laws applicable to corporations discouraged start-ing new businesses and encou-raged mergers and consolida-tions. "The small corporation is the most efficient vehicle for be-ginning a new business. Unfortu-nately, however, under our pres-ent corporation tax laws, a very high rate of taxation is applica-ble to the first dollars of taxable income which th esmall corpora-tion earns. I would propose to amend the corporation tax laws to grant each corporation a $10,-00-0 exemption before the first bracket is applied. If necessary, the revenue thus lost could be regained by a sur-char- ge in the higher brackets. Such a change in the tax laws would give im-- mediate relief to hard pressed small businessmen who are faced with the alternative of retiring from business or selling out to a larger company. This change would also allow a liberalization of credit for the beginning of a new business as the new business would have funds available from its first earnings to amortize its original debt before the govern-ment took a tax slice." Mr. Rampton asserted that the revision he nronosed would also enable many small businesses whose equipment had become depleted to finance capital re-placements and capital expari-sio- n. "The incentive for corpo-rate mergers would also be re-duced by such a step because by consolidating two corporations into one, the merged corporation would lose its $10,000 exemp-tion," Mr. Rampton concluded. Eleven Memorials Established by Heart Association Memorials have been estab-lished with the Utah Heart As-sociation in tribute to 11 late residents of Salt Lake County, according to a quarterly report released this week by Dr. Marvin Lewis, president.

An amateur hunter, preparing for his first trip into the woods, went to a sporting goods store to buy a compass. He found one he liked, with a mirror on the back. "What's the mirror for?" he asked the clerk. "You just look in there and it will tell you who's lost." Senate Dist.
