Death taxes hard of modest means, Although federal and state death taxes originally were levied as a tax against the wealthy, they have become a burdensome and traumatic experience to the family of modest means. In some cases, the tax has forced families to sell the family business, the farm, or the family homestead in order to pay the estate tax. These were some of the observations ob-servations presented by Utah Foundation, the private tax research organization, in their latest analysis of federal and state death taxes. According to the foundation, when the present $60,000 federal estate tax exemption was first established in 1942, it excluded all but a handful of very large estates from the tax. Over the past 34 years, however, inflation along with a rising standard of living have combined to greatly increase the dollar value of most assets, exposing millions of ordinary families to the steeply graduated estate tax. The market value of the family residence alone has put millions of people within the range of the estate tax. Particularly vulnerable to the estate tax are those who own a 3mall business or farm. The report notes that many wage earners who own a home and have accumulated savings and other assets over a lifetime of work are also being affected by the tax. Foundation analysts point out that there is growing recognition of the problem and a number of proposals have been made in recent months to reform the estate tax. More then 200 bills to accomplish this purpose have been introduced in Congress and the matter now is under consideration by the now on display at such as human and animal figures are seea One interesting theory, put forth by a descendent of the Indian artists, is that they represent a written form of the Indian sign language, performed by hand and body motions-a universal language among the Mayors of Springville, Spanish Fork, Salem and Payson are expected to win authorization to sign the document. The cities have been negotiating in cooperation with Strawberry Water Users Association (SWUA) for more than four years to form the cooperative. blow to families says foundation House Ways and Means Committee. Com-mittee. While Congress is considering reform of the federal estate tax, a number of states have taken steps to reduce the burden of their death tax laws. Thus far in 1976, at least ten states (Deleware, Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Minnesota, Nebraska, South Dakota, Vermont, West Virginia and Wisconsin) have approved reductions in their inheritance taxes. Earlier this year, the Utah Legislature passed a measure which would have reduced the state's inheritance tax. Although the bill was overwhelmingly approved by both houses of the legislature (73 to 1 in the House and 23 to 5 in the Senate), it was vetoed by Gov. Rampton for fiscal reasons after the session had adjourned. According to the foundation report, the vetoed legislation would have replaced the existing Utah estate tax with a death tax equal to the maximum credit allowed for federal estate tax purposes. Federal tax laws provide that a credit against the federal estate tax due is allowed for a all or a portion of the inheritance tax paid under state laws. The maximum credit allowed is equal to 80 percent of the basic federal estate tax in effect in 1926. If the proposed 1976 revision had been allowed to become law, the change would have reduced the combined federal and state death tax on an estate in Utah to that now imposed im-posed by the federal Government Govern-ment alone. In vetoeing the 1976 Inheritance Tax Reform bill, the Governor emphasized, "lam not vetoing this bill because of the concept. art museum many tribes in America, at that time.

Adoption had been delayed by the sticky problem of how to transfer stock in the corporation in the event one city experiences an unexpected surge of growth and accompanying power consumption. That was overcome by a requirement a big user would be required to buy a proportionate share of stock held by the other cities. Another problem was solved when SUVPP organizers decided no city would be able to vote more than 49 per cent of the corporate stock although it might use half or more of the project electricity.

It would take inexpensive, high voltage energy generated by the federal government and reduce it to voltage compatible with municipal power distribution systems so it could be delivered to individual customers.

Incorporators of SUVPP would be Mayors Tim Moran of Spanish Fork, Dr. Kenneth Creer of Springville, Richard A. Harmer of Payson and Vaud Hanks of Salem. Board of trustees membership includes the SUVPP organizing committee composed of Chairman Doug Holt of Payson, Blair Hamilton of Spanish Fork, Malcolm Crawford of Salem and Grant Whitehead of Springville. Trustees, moving as rapidly but carefully as possible, decided to move up their regular meeting one week in anticipation city councils will have acted and mayors signed the articles early this (Sept) month. The board also voted to switch the meeting place for that Tuesday session to the conference con-ference room of the Strawberry High Line Canal Co. in Payson. n j ff o fl Out of town judges for the "Most Beautiful" and "Most Improved Homes" contests were "overwhelmed" by the beauty and . neatness of Springville homes last Saturday when they toured the city doing the final judging for the two contests, sponsored by the Community Pride Committee. Favorable impressions began when judges arrived early Saturday. By 4:30 when they left they were tired and foot sore but still singing the praises of Springville's beauty and voicing appreciation for the opportunity they'd had to see the tremendous community pride shown by our citizens. Nor were judges for the contests strangers to this task. Mrs. Lucille Hillman of Pleasant Grove, who was for years that city's Shade Tree Commission head and later a frequent statewide judge as a member of the Utah State Shade Tree Commission, teamed with Mrs. Monte James, Salem's beautification chairman to handle the Most Improved Homes competition. Most Beautiful Homes entries were judged by Mrs. LaRain Goodall and her son, Darren, both experienced contest judges. Mrs. Goodall is presently serving ser-ving as the chairman of the Utah County Beautification Committee Com-mittee and is a former Santaquin City councilwoman over beautification. ; - r- She also served as that community's beautification chairman. Judges were escorted around by Mrs. Alan Roylance who headed up the homes contests, Mrs. Lynn Kemp, and Frank Schetselarr, chairman of the Community Pride Committee. Com-mittee. Twenty-six homes were entered en-tered in the Most Beautiful category and 13 in the Most Improved competition. Judges were hard pressed to arrive at their decisions. Three winners were selected in each category. They will be presented their awards at the Springville birthday party celebration. Several Honorable Mention awards will also be made. The top 15 entries will be featured in a "Guide to Springville's Most Beautiful Homes" which will be published and used for visitors to our city. "Everyone worked so hard at accomplishing their goals that they all should be declared winners," said one official "I didn't realize there were so many lovely homes nor so many people with so much pride in Moss receives HEDA Award Senator Frank E. Moss, D-Utah, D-Utah, has been awarded the Triple E Award of the National Environmental Development Association (NEDA). Moss was recognized for "significant contributions to the campaign for balance in energy, environmental and issues. their homes and community," said another. The one regret they voiced was that more people had not entered the contests because "there were so many more who have done the work and have beautiful homes who should be recognized for their efforts." Frequent comments were, "Is this one entered? If not, it should be." One of the judges even said she was going home and put her house up for sale so she could move to Springville. All agreed that this would be an ideal place in which to live. Springville Stake sets conference Elder Paul H.

Dunn Provo hospital to obtain CAT scanner On August 17, 1976 the state Office of Comprehensive Health Planning announced after its executive committee meeting, that it had approved an application ap-plication submitted by Grant Burgon, Administrator for the Utah Valley Hospital in Provo, Utah.Approval allows the purchase of a Computerized Axial Tomography Scanner at an estimated capital expenditure ex-penditure of $700,000 which includes in-cludes $500,000 for the scanner and $200,000 for financing at 8 percent interest for five years. This decision was in concurrence con-currence with recommendations submitted by the State Division of Health and the review committee com-mittee for the Office of Comprehensive Com-prehensive Health Planning. The Mountainlands Health Planning Council also recommended recom-mended approval of this application. ap-plication. Patient care will be greatly improved with this new diagnostic tool because it is many times more sensitive than conventional x-ray systems. Briefly, the Computerized Axial Tomography Technique is designed to allow rapid examinations of sections through the head or body each 13mm in thickness. A complete x-ray scan of a single slice through a patient's body is carried out in 20 seconds. During this 20 second scan, over 300,000 absorption readings are fed into a mini computer. This procedure is then repeated until all required portions of a patient have been scanned. Because the (Cat) Technique divides the body into a series of slices much of the diagnostic information is retained. However, in Conventional x-ray procedures, much of the available diagnostic information is lost because the two dimensional dimen-sional display superimposes all objects. ' V . X IS |
