Now we are engaged in a great mass of calculations test ing whether that taxpayer or any taxpayer so confused and so impoverished can long endure. We are met on Form 1040. We have come to dedicate a large portion of our income to a final resting place with these men who here spend their lives that they may spend our money. It is altogether anguish and torture that we should do this. But in the legal sense we cannot evade we cannot cheat we cannot under estimate this tax. The collectors, clever and sly, who computed frere, have gone far beyond pur power to add and substract. Our creditors will little nor long remember what we pay here, but he Bureau of Internal Revenue can never forget what! we report here. It is for us taxpayers rather to be devoted de-voted to the tax return which the government has thus far so nobly spent It is rather for us to be dedicated to the great task remaining before us that from these vanished dollars we take increased devotion to the few remauiing; that we here highly resolve that next year will not find us in a higher income tax bracket That this taxpayer; underpaid, shall figure out more deductions; de-ductions; and that taxation of the people, by the Congress, for the government, shall not cause our solvency to perish. Shelby S. D. Record Higher Freight Rates Hamper Utah's Growth In Agricultural Field By V. L. Iraelsen Utah is unfavorably situated In relation Q the large consuming centers that provide the principal princi-pal markets for agricultural products. pro-ducts. Whether the Utah farmer moves his produdce to these markets mar-kets by rail or by motor truck, his costs of transportation are heavy and will have an Import- v ' '- ' ') ' ant bearing on his net income. In the postwar perjod there have been successive Increases in freight rates. These have been similar to Increases ,. following World War I, except in this latter, lat-ter, period they started from a considerably higher level than alter the first World War. A second factor of importance for the Utah farmer Is that the Increases In-creases In rates have been on a percentage basis. Thus the spread between the cost of trans porting commodities from this area to market compared with the costs of the more favorably situated producers has been fur ther widened. Since he Is In direct competition with produc ers who are more advantageous' ry located, these differential costs will have to be borne largely if not entirely by the Utah farmer. These Increased . transportation rates have come since early 1946 and are generally now about 50 percent above the rate, level at the end of the war. Increases In rates on agricultural products were not as great as those on non-agricultural commodl ties The Interstate Commerce Commission Com-mission now is considering a re quest by the railroads for an additional Increase of 13 percent. Hearings on this request were conducted in Salt Lake City on April 4, 5, 6, 1949. On the 13 per cent requested, the Commission has granted a 5 percent Interim increase pending its decision on the full amount pf the request. A. F.

Well, If you worried about them crossing the streets 10 years ago when they started to school, they are facing even greater dangers today, according to the National Safety Council. The 1949 edition of "Accident Facts," statistical yearbook of the Council, shows that 10 years ago 6.8 out of 100,000 of the children chil-dren in the 5-14 age group were killed as pedestrians, and four out of -400)000 were killed in autos as non pedestrians. But In 1948, when they were 15- 24 years of age, 3.1 out of 100,000 were killed as pedestrians less than half tha rat in- 1938. - But 28.1 out of 100,000 were killed in traffic as non-pedestrians seven times the earlier , rate I The Council concludes that in 1948 they were operating then- own cars, or were riding in cars frequently driven by the! friends, and that these cars were not being operated as safely as by older persons. , 4-H'ers At The Fair To -Play Important -Role in Stock Exhibit It's a lot of work!
