Korov(H BUILDING SYSTEMS The Springville their pre-July 4 and made their income tax liability for the typical family in Utah during the past two years. This fact was emphasized in a study of inflation in-flation and taxation prepared by Utah Foundation, the private tax research organization. The Foundation study notes that inflation tends to shift taxpayers into higher tax brackets where a progressively larger percentage of income will go for taxes. In addition, Utahns will be subject to higher state taxes next year because of (1) the tax increase authorized by the 1975 Utah Legislature, (2) the inability of individuals in Utah to take advantage of the generally more liberal provisions of the 1975 Federal Code on their state returns, and (3) the smaller deductions which will be allowed on the 1975 returns resulting from reduced Federal taxes. Although inflation pushes up tax bills and changes many of the traditional concepts of equity in the tax laws for individuals, the Foundation study observes that it may have an even more pronounced effect on business and industry. Among the factors affecting business are the following: Capital gains are taxed even though such gains merely represent inflated dollar value, not real purchasing power. Inventory "profits" are taxed even though such funds (Utah) Herald parade. The students designed own floats and costumes.

Use of historic cost rather than replacement cost in calculating depreciation allowances prevents business from replacing plant, machinery, and equipment as it wears out or become obsolete. Dividends paid to stockholders are taxed causing business to seek new capital through borrowing rather than through equity. Often this practice diverts business away from what is best on economic or fiscal grounds to what is attractive at-tractive in the light of prevailing tax laws. Foundation analysts point out that the tax laws of most other industrial nations are much more liberal with respect to funds needed for investment purposes than is the United States. JOHNSON PEST CONTROL LARRY JOHNSON, spray any lot in Springvile $10.50 Complete Pest Section Two Mountain Bell petitions for rate change ' Mountain Bell today petitioned the Utah Public Service Commission Com-mission for a hearing on a proposal to reduce long distance rates 70 percent for calls originating and terminating with Utah County, up to first $4.00 in toll charges. If permitted the hearing, Mountain Bell offered to make the plan available within 90 days of the Commissions Com-missions approval. Under the interim arrangement, the customer with $4.00 worth of direct dialed, long distance calls per month within Utah County would be charged only $1.20. Lesser amounts would be billed at 30 percent of the regular toll rate, i.e., customers with 90 cents in long distance calls would billed only 27 cents. Calls in excess of $4.00 per months will be billed at regular toll rates, according to Merrill Hymas, Mountain Bell Provo District Manager. . In addition, bulk rate calling was offered which gives customers several options: For example, residence customers would be provided with 180 minutes of calls per month at 3.3 cents per minute. Additional time allowances were offered as well as reduced rates for business customers. Hymas siad the telephone company is making this prop-' osal on an interim basis until a new rate structure, Usage sensitive pricing can be introduced in-troduced throughout the state, usage sensitive pricing provides a minimum low monthly rate for all customers. Such a price structure would benefit the low income, low using customer, but would have high users paying for additional calling on the basis of the number of calls made, the duration of the call, the distance called and the time of the day the call is made. The present rate structure has everyone paying a flat rate or a particular service regardless of the amount of telephone usage. He emphasized that Mountain bell is still proceeding with work to implement the Commissions orginal order while asking for hearings on its interim proposal. The original order for extended local calling won't be operative until the first quarter of 1977, and when effective, increases monthly telephone rates for all Utah County telephone customers except Springville, according to Hymas. The Commission in May 1973, ordered Mountain Bell to provide three corridors of local calling between the exchanges of Lehi, American Fork, Pleasant Grove, and Provo; between the exchanges of Provo, Spanish Fork, and Payson; and between the exchanges of Goshen, Payson and Spanish Fork. The telephone Company appealed ap-pealed the decision to the Utah Supreme Court because, according ac-cording to Hymas, it called for increases in all customers rates regardless of whether or not they frequently called long distance within the county. The Utah Supreme Court, on May 13, 1975 upheld the Commissions Com-missions order. Hymas said studies showed that 82 percent of Utah County residents made less than 5 calls per month, and that raising everyones telephone rates would, in effect, have the majority subsidising long distance calling of a few heavy users. He said the telephone company com-pany plans to implement Usage Sensitive Pricing in Utah within 3 to 5 years in an effort to keep basic telephone services available to fixed income and low user customers, at reasonable basic monthly prices. He added that to continue raising monthly rates for local services, regardless of usage, would soon price telephone service out of the budget of low income people.

The Pageant is enacted on 25 stages on the western slope of Hill Cumorah, an area larger than a football field. This year some 600 Mormon men and women mainly missionaries and college-age girls-will make up the cast and crew. Approx. 125,000 spectators are expected for the seven performances, which start at 9 p.m. nightly. Hill Cumorah is situated 25 miles southeast of Rochester in the heart of the scenic Finger Lakes region of western New York. This is the hill where Joseph Smith was led by an angel named Moroni to find the ancient metal writings of the Book of Mormon. After subsequent sub-sequent revelations from the Lord, the Prophet organized the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Latter-day Saints which today has a membership of 3.5 million around the globe, including nearly 18,000 in New York state. The Pageant dramatizes the genesis of a flourishing civilization in the New World by a band of Israelites in 600 B.C. under the guidance of the Lord. For a thousand years this civilization grew and prospered, but finally was ended by a great civil war between the followers of the Lord and a faction which Keeping electric Utah in your with power aumd be safe Hutchings, son of Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Hut-chings.
