The State Road Commission thru Attnrnisi T.ptiHq .TnnPH "frin- - day asked the District Court to fix a time for hearing of a motion for temporary possession of land to be used for state highway purposes between Madsen and Collinston in Box Elder County. It is proposed to widen and straighten the highway along the mountain, and in one or two places the new highway leaves the o,d one altogether. State road officers are anxious to obtain an order for the possession of the property in order that the contract may be let at an early date and thereby furnish employment to "many people. 1935 AAA Designed to Offset Effects of Drought With all of the major agricultural 1935 design- ed to bring about increases over 1934 conditions unbalanced production, brought about by the unprecedented drought of 1934 are expected to be largely offset this year, reports William Peterson, director of Utah extension service. On the assumption of normal growing conditions, it is indicated that farmers of the United States will pro- duce in 1535 about 70 percent more! grains than in 1934 ,and about the, same large volume of truck crops and fruit. Even in the case of cotton with twice the normal carryover, a sub-- j stantial increase over last year's acre- age is provided for in the 1935 con- j j j tract. Production of poultry this year is expected to be only about 5 percent. less than in 1934 and about a 5 per-cent reduction from the high dairy production of 1934 is expected thia year. Due to the heavy marketings which farmers were forced to make by the drought, substantial reductions in slaughter of cattle and sheep may be expected. Adjustments of hog program nnmhers under the corn-ho- g and the Government corn loan pro-- . regram resulted in a more orderly duction of slaughter of hogs. Increases in food costs since last summer largely reflect the shortages in crops and livestock most affected costs by the drought. Retail food which in 1929, prior to the depression, levr were 150 percent of the levels in 1933, el, declined to r In average 109 percent of 1934 and, even after recent sharp advances in livestock products, arc now only about 120 percent of or 30 points below the 1929 average. pre-wa- pre-w- ar pre-wa- pre-wa- r, Taxation Is the process of taking a dollar from somebody to whom it belongs rightfully and using It for the benefit of the people collectively it matters not in the taking if It is somebody's last dollar. "Sold for taxes" is a common phrase. Legislation providing for increased income taxes and action paving the way for the conduct of Utah social welfare activities in conformity with the federal government program whatever it may be were outstanding phases of the eighth week of the Utah Legislature. twenty-firs- t With but four days of the current session remaining Saturday night, the assembled legislators were still confronted with the solution of the vexatious liquor control problem; passing of appropriation bills carrying departmental allocations of $5,421,178.99 from general fund $250,000 above estimates, and various tax measures to be embodied in a general taxation program. Much controversial legislation is still on the session books awaiting final action by either house of senate. Labor legislation, including the proposed changes in Workmen's compensation law; limiting of trains as to cars, and day for miners, await senatorial approval or rejection. So do several important farm relief bills passed by the house the produce license, container weights and fertilizer and commercial foodstuffs d measures. Eight utility control bills were also to be acted upon by the upper house. Measures passed by the senate and still subject to lower house approval included a mine taxation bill leaving mine taxes as they are at present; a highway bill adding several hundred miles to the state road system; a measure for assessment of public utilities on a rate base and another reorganizing the public utilities commission, and the bill permitting the use of surplus sales tax funds to make up deficiencies in school funds. Dozens of other measures passed by either of the two houses await action by the other. That it will require extension of the session at least until Saturday to reach even a major portion of these proposed laws by stopping of legislative clocks is deemed very likely by all lawmakers. Under the new income tax law property tax offsets are eliminated, filing fee repealed, personal exemptions lowered and the" rate of taxation on individuals increased. If Governor Henry H. Blood signs the measure as it now stands single persons with net incomes of $1000, $2000, $3000, $4000 and $5000 will pay respectively $4, $1S, $42, $76 and $120; married persons with like incomes and no dependents, nothing, $8. $26, $54, and $92, and married persons with three dependents, nothing, nothing, $8. $28 and $57. The corporation franchise tax bill as passed lowers the tax rate on corporation incomes from 4 to 3 per cent and delets property tax offsets, resulting in a net increase. The lower house disposed of several Taylor bills proposing to give the legislature full taxing powers by tabling them. The senate defeated another measure giving legislatures power to make assessments. All of these taxation measures defeatelTpro-poseconstitutional changes. Governor Blood emerged a victor along all legislative lines, eveiy measure sponsored and urged by the chief executive having won approval in both legislative branches. Included in the list were nine banking Bills passed last week. The governor's bills providing for a social relief program will undoubtedly be enacted before the session closes. Important measures passed by both houses last week were: S. B. 93, permitting county commissioners to comin the promise tax settlements amount of $500 or less .now in conference committee; H. B. 62, increasing tax on insurance premiums to 2 per cent; S. B. 156, creating a new committee of nine to study taxation and other problems; H. B. 137 and 138, revamping the state road commission, and S. B. 1 and 88, the corporation franchise and individual income tax blls as agreed upon by a conference committee.
