This was the main point brought out in a report just released by Utah Foundation, the private research agency. According to the study, the paper work problem is particularly acute for the small entrepreneur who has limited accounting and statistical resources. It also may be one cause of increased unemployment across the nation in that many business firms are reluctant to hire new employees because of the paper work and red tape involved. In analyzing the extent of the problem, the Foundation came up with the following facts: 1. A 1965 Congressional Com- Cedar City, Utah - rich states would get richer and the poor states would get poorer under the revenue sharing bill passed by the U.S. House of Representatives and Senawaiting action In the U.S. This is the conclusion ate. reached by Utah Foundation, the private tax research organization, in their analysis of the proposed legislation. According to the Foundation, analysis of the bill which cleared the House on June 22, eight of the twelve states with the highest per capita Incomes would receive per capita revenue sharing cations above the U.S. average. Eleven of the twelve states with the lowest per capita Incomes In the nation, on the other hand, would receive per capita allocations below the U.S. average if the bill is enacted Into law. The average per person share going states to the ten highest-incom- e is greater than the portion offered to the ten states. Although the proposed revenue sharing formula generally Infavors the dustrial states, Utah would fare relatively well under the House Small Businesses H mittee estimated the cost of Federal paper work requirements at $27 billion - $7 billion to government agencies and $20 billion to the public who must furnish the original information. 2. More recent estimates place the cost of Federal paper work requirements at $36 billion a year. These amounts relate only to Federal reports and do not include State and local requirements. 3. Individuals and business firms spend 130 million man hours each year filling out Federal forms. The average business firm with 50 to 60 employees must fill out 75 to 80 Government forms annually. 4. the Government Printing Office prints 2 14 billion forms a year for Federal agencies - 12 for every many, woman, and child residing in the nation. 5. Federal statistical and reporting programs over thepast decade have increased at a rate 50 greater than the Federal budget itself. At various times, Congress has concern over the expressed growing reporting problem for business and individuals. The study notes that as early as 1942 Congress passed the Federal Reports Act designed to control the burgeoning reporting requirements. Despite passage of this Act, the past 30 years have seen the greatest paper work expansion in history. Foundation analysts point out that a major factor in the growing paper work expansion has been Congress itself. Whenever Congress enacts a new law regulating or controling a certain aspect of business, It automatically creates a need for additional reports to insure compliance with that law. The Foundation offers anum-b- er of suggestions and recommendations to Improve thepre-so- nt reporting and statistical system: 1. Standardize the terminology used In the various reports. 2. Carefully weigh the need for the information desired against the cost of providing it. 3. Make better use of existing administrative and tax records for statistical purposes, 4. Provide greater cooperation and exchange of information among administrative agencies. 5. Eliminate duplication lnthe Information provided to the var- lous agencies. 6. Improve cooperation among Federal, State, and local governments In reporting requirements. ' 7. Reduce the frequency of required reports whenever possible. 8 Increase the use of sampling In gathering statistical data. 9. Simplify report forms, 10, Assign some agency or group overall responsibility for paper work management, With respect to t'tah. the Foundation suggests that much could be done to use existing tax records in order to obtain needed statistical data. In addition, the report indiciates that greater coordination of state reports and forms with existing Federal forms could result in huge savings in reporting time for Utah residents.

Many roads were designed primarily for logging trucks and are not constructed to the same standards as the average highway. Asphyxiation is often caused by Improper venting in trailers and campers, said Mr. Dyment, Other dangers he pointed out are insect bites, misuse of camp- ing tools (knives, axes, etc.) and hypothermia, causedby overexposure to cold weather.

SALTED CASHEWS HORSEMAN'S BAR 70 oz vaca- long-await- ed tion was abruptly ended when a fishhook became lodged In the father's wrist. This man was lucky. His son had learned to drive, a hospital was located 60 miles away, and only minor surgery was required to remove the hook. But for many people each year a fishhook causes an agonizing experience that results in major complications. Ralph Dyment, Safety Officer for the Intermountain Region of the Forest Service, cites the fishhook accident as only one hazard of an outdoor experience that few people think about until it happens. Although such an injury is rarely, if ever, fatal, the consequences can be very serious, he said. As part of the effort of the U.S.. Department of Agriculture to help make National Forest vacations safe, Mr, Dyment points out several other causes of serious accidents. Drowning is a major cause of death in National Forests. Small children who are allowed to play without supervision are often the victims of drowning accidents. Falling from steep rocky cliffs is another cause of accidents among children as well as adults. Heart attacks and respiratory problems can be caused byover-exertiat high altitudes. M- Dyment pointed out that people often travel from their homes, at elevations near sea level, to the Wheeler Peak Scenic Area on the Humboldt National Forest in Nevada. At Wheeler Peak they can drive in an automobile to an elevation of over 10,000 feet. At this point, a scenic hiking trail leads upward toward the bristle-con- e pines. K a person already has heart or respiratory problems, overexertion at this high altitude can be fatal, he explained.

The next most frequent offense was failure to properly tag big game which had 300 offenders. Carrying a loaded gun in a vehicle, shooting at migratory birds after legal time and shooting at swans without a permit were the next three most common violations. Twelve types . of violations made up almost two thirds of all Wildlife Resources cases taken to court during 1971. Wildlife Resources officers in 1971 sent a record 2,664 cases to Utah courts, an increase of 208 cases over the old record. Of this total, 2,190 violators of state laws were adults and 474 were juveniles. The courts levied a record $75,097 in fines, ng VETERINARY SUPPLIES CENTRAL-VA- A father and his son arrived late on a summer afternoon at their favorite National Forest campground.

Several minutes g bill would allocate a total of $5.3 billion in 1972-$- 1.8 billion to state governments and $3.5 billion to local units (cities, counties, and townships). The amount granted to state governments would be increased each year and reach $3.1 billion by 1976. Under the plan, each state could spend the added funds in any way It chooses. Funds going to local units, however, could be spent only on specific programs, such as police and fire protection, sewage disposal, pollution abatement, transportation (including urban transit), and certain public works. Cost of the proposed revenue-shariprogram would be borne by all persons paying Federal taxes. The Foundation calculated that Utah's share of the Federal tax needed to finance this program would amount to $20.1 million. approximately Since the Utah entitlements would equal $29.0 million, the apparent net gain to the state would be In other words, $8.9 million. Utah would receive approximately $1.44 back for each $1.00 paid In Federal taxes to finance the revenue allocations. These calculations are based only on the amounts that are allocated and do not include overhead and administrative costs which would reduce any "gain" realized by the State. The Foundation analysis points out that the House revenue sharing bill is scheduled for consideration in the U.S. Senate, where it is expected that the formula which stresses aid to the populous industrial states will face hard scrutiny. In the Senate, the smaller states have an equal vote with the larger states and some changes maybe made in the distribution formula.

The Foundation report notes that Utah is the only state ranking among the lower third In per capita Income that would receive a per person allocation above the U.S. average. The bill would give Utah approximately $29.0 million In ' revenue, or $26.39 per capita, Forthe entire United States, the average allocation would amount to $25.70 per capita. The distribution formula lnthe bill tends to favor states with (J.) large urban populations, (2) state individual Broadly-base- d income taxes, (3) below average per capita Incomes, and (4) large tax efforts in relation to personal income. Foundation analysts observe that these factors in the rather complicated distribution formula do provide Utah with an advantage in the revenue - sharing allocations. Utah, however, is a rare exception, since the bill generally produces reverse equalization with the wealthiest states entitled to the largest allocations and the poorest states receiving the smallest per person allocations. t 1 1 rd heavily-populat- FISHING VIOLATIONS MOST COMMON IN 1971 Use Forests Safely TAX SHARING LEGISLATION FAVORS WEALTHY STATES Red Tope Strangling 55c Aug. 12, 1972 LB COUPON Without Coupon J!M n $1.25 With Coupon ncnni ILVUIl rimim UVLU lilkUHL VGOOD AT AG STORES r Without Coupon PALMOLIVE 5c n 99c Expires Aug. 12, 1972 With Coupon LIQUID DETERGENT 22 oz 39c GOOD AT A.G.
