Taxes Becoming Major Problem For Public Teachers Listed For Year's Work TAXES ARE BOTH FOOD AND POISON The Quantity Determines De-termines Which. There are now 28 states with retail taxes. But 17 states have both sales and Income taxes and Utah is of that number. In fact .Principal, Utah has nearly every kind of tax in use anywhere in the country. WHAT UTAH NEEDS. IS LOWER TAXES NOT MORE OR HIGHER TAXES. From 1934 to 1946 inclusive. Federal grants-in-aid to states totaled $29,177,000,000. This, add ed to the $13,611,000,000 in subsidies sub-sidies paid Jargely to farmers, brings a total of $42,788,000,000 getting rich from taking in each others washing.

Riding Club Now Active City Organization Popular Orchestra To Apollo It is especially Important, for sanitation purposes, that flies be controlled during the fruit processing pro-cessing season, Dr. G. F. Knowl-ton, Knowl-ton, Utah State Extension en tomologist, warned today. "While thousands of Utah citizens have successfully controlled con-trolled flies around their homes and 'on their farms, many people still are neglectmg-this - simple and important program," Dr, With typhoid and dysentery being spread by flies, and the threat that flies may be a trans mitting agent for infantile para lysis, the entomologist strongly advocates an immediate clean-up of flies throughout Utah. "There is no reason why all homes, yards, schools, grocery stores, restaurants and other places cannot be made free from flies."

Too much praise cannot be giv en to the officers, head steward and gate operator of the Utah Racing Association. Chief Stew ard Blake Robinson made a masterful mas-terful job of matching the twenty one races, consisting of from two to eight horses to each race. The only race where two horses competed com-peted was a match race between High Kisses of Richfield, Utah, (who has been beaten only once in twenty five starts and Virginia Reel of San Bernardino, Califor nia.

Thinly clad they had left their car and two of their wives at Timpanooke and gone into the area for a short deer hunt. The sudden snow covered the trail and they were trapped for the night. The next day all four started out of the high country and, only Bill Hunter of American Fork, survived sur-vived the grueling trip thru hip-deep hip-deep snow and he was only rescued res-cued when searchers found him clinging upright to a tree around which he had flung his frozen arms and hands as he became unconscious.
