Show THE LEADER, Tremonton. November 17. 1955 Utali Foundation Utah Thursday. Danger Must Be Seen to be Avoided "Danger must be seen to be avoided!" This is the word of caution and advice from the Utah Safety Council, with special meaning to farm vehicles, as a result of new laws enacted this year by the Legislature. These new laws are now in effect, but many farm tractors, wagons, combines, spreaders, discs, and other farm husbandry vehicles have not yet been r quipped with the required devices under such lightening laws. for example, Title requires either electrical or mechanical turn signal devices on vehicles when the distance from the center of the steering post to the outside limit of the body or cab exceeds 24 inches, or the distance from the steering wheel to the rear of the body or load exceeds 14 inches. Many farm vehicles are included in this provision of the law. Headlamps and tail lamps of specified quality are also required of certain farm vehicles under provisions of Title . Every farm tractor and every farm equipment unit or implement of husbandry not equipped with an electric lighting system must be equipped with at least one lamp dis self-propell- playing a white light visible at least 500 feet to the front of such vehicle and also a red light visible at least 500 feet to the rear of such vehicle under proof the visions of Title new Utah law. The same section also requires single or multiple-beaheadlamps under certain conditions, and makes special references to towed units of farm equipment. Animal-drawequipment must also meet certain requirements under this m n section. The Safety Council, in pointing out these new requirements, recalled a recent tragic accident involving an unlighted wagon being towed by a tractor. The farmer noticed the lights of an approaching car and edged his vehicle further towards the road but not far enough. In edge the driver of the the car failed to see the unlighted rear of the equipment. The crash that followed left the farmer dead and the motorist seriously injured. "We know that proper lighting equipment on such farm vehicles will prevent many similar mishaps in the future, and that is the purpose of these new laws", said G. Ernest Bourne, safety council executive secretary, "and we, therefore, hope that all farm people and farm organizations will widely publicize and promote these laws so that these safety features will be provided on their vehicles for their own protection." semi-darknes- s, slow-movin- g announces CONSECUTIVE SO QUARTERLY DIVIDEND cents per share from net investment income will be paid on December 15, 1955, to Financial Industrial Fund shareholders of record November 30. 3 For the last 12 months, dividends total 12 cents per share security profits 17 cents per share. and financial industrial fund, inc.

Rnsmussen, District Manager South 4th East, Brighani, Utah Makes Tax Survey Although governmental functions and activities have expanded many fold since 1900, the framework and tools of government have remained relatively unchanged. This conclusion was reached in a research study released this week by Utah Foundation, the private, nonprofit tax research organization. State tax collections in Utah multiplied 70 times and Federal taxe paid by Utahns have multiplied 300 times during the past 50 years, the report notes. Revenue from local property taxes has increased about eight fold between 1916 and 1954. Despite this tremendous increase in the scope of government, many governmental units, not only in Utah buf throughout the nation, are attempting to conduct operations with the same tools and techniques that were used fifty years ago, according to the Foundation report. Particularly has local government failed to keep pace with accepted standards of accounting, auditing, budgeting, reporting, ond other fiscal management procedures. In analyzing Utah economic trends during the past half century. Foundation analysts observed that Utah had a net outward migration during each of the first four decades of the present century. This trend was reversed somewhat during the 1940-5decade, when there was a net inward migration of approximately 14,000 persons to Utah. However, indications are that this inward migration from other states has ceased. The report points out that most of the upward swing in the State's economy has occured since the beginning of 'World War II. For example, the in crease in Utah's labor force during the past fifteen years hase been greater than the cu mulative gain during the prev ious forty years. "Indications are that manufacturing in Utah is growing at a rate approximately twice as fast as the average over the nation," the report continues. "However, despite the fact that Utah appears to be coming of age in manufacturing development, it still is far behind the national average in total manufacturing activity." F. F.
