TEAM STANDINGS 4 Bucks 0 Bulls 0 4 3 2 Stars Pacers highway program is declining in relation to those of other states, according to Utah Foundation, the private, non profit research organization. In total highway user revenues, which finance state highway programs, Utah's position in comparison with other Mountain States and with the national average has changed only slightly over the 1966 1976 decade, the Foundation noted in a research report released this week. However, in terms of the amounts available for actual construction, maintenance, and administration of state highways, Utah's position has deteriorated. Utah's total highway user revenues doubled between 1966 and 1976, a rate of increase slightly below the Mountain States average, but above the national average. But funds available for actual state highway programs increased only 50 percent in Utah over the decade, compared to an average 84 percent increase in the Mountain States and one of 75 percent in all of the United States. This situation is largely due to the fact that Utah has turned more of its highway revenues to law enforcement and to assisting local roads and streets, the Foundation points out. Between 1966 and 1976, the amount of highway user revenues allocated to law enforcement and safety grew more than three and one half times, two thirds faster than the average for the Mountain States and a third faster than the average for the nation. The funds for law enforcement here referred to are those coming from highway user revenues Patrol is financed entirely from highway user revenues, but some other states may also use other sources of funds for highway law enforcement. Highway funds allocated to local roads and streets also increased much faster in Utah than in most other states. Utah's collector road program, one of two major state supports for local roads and streets came into existence in 1970 and was a major factor in the increase in this category. While a major reason for Utah's problem in funding its state highway program is the increasing amounts devoted to law enforcement and to local roads, it does not appear feasible that funds for these purposes should be cut down. "Actually, both the law enforcement safety and local only. Utah's Highway road programs are available under present funding formulas, the Foundation report notes. Inflation has been a major factor in reducing the effectiveness of highway dollars, but inflation has been felt in every state. However, a comparison of highway funds available in 1976, in terms of 1966 dollars, indicates Utah suffered above average impact with regard to its state program. In constant dollars, Utah had 28 percent less money for its state highway program than in 1966. The Mountain States and the U.S. average showed declines in constant dollars, but the decline in the Mountain States was only 11 percent and the U.S. average was 16 percent. Proposals to increase Utah's motor fuels tax, chief support of the transportation fund, appear certain to come before the 1978 budget session of the Utah Legislature, the Foundation notes. The most talked of proposal would raise the tax from the present seven cents a gallon to nine cents a gallon. This would provide $14.4 million a year in additional funds available to the state program, and $2.6 million a year additional to cities and counties. Twenty states now have gasoline tax rates of nine 1966-197- THURSDAY. Suns 1 Royals 0 4 1 1 Cisco I Fishing W- -J in the long run. Springville Museum Gets New Director Timothy G. Rose has been named new director of the Springville Museum of Art. A native of Salt Lake City, Mr. Rose, 32, has been acting director of the museum since July. He holds a B.A. degree in art from Brigham Young University, where he also worked in various curatorial positions. A former staff writer for the Salt Lake City Deseret News, Rose has taught painting classes at the museum, and is teaching a course in art appreciation at BYU. This is about the time of year to begin thinking about the Bear Lake Cisco run. The run, which is nearly impossible to pinpoint, usually begins around January 9. with the total run lasting about two weeks. However, the run has started as early as January 2 and as late as January 19 with speculation the only certainty. The Cisco, which are usually netted, usually draw a number of enthusiasts to the east shore of Bear Lakef and the onset of cold weather should help in the creation of ice which will benefit fishermen.

In many cases, trusts can be used to save income and estate taxes for property owners and their families. In addition, trusts can offer peace of mind from investment worries for the or amateur investor. But like many other good ideas, these benefits are quick to be overplayed by opportunists. Recently, the IRS warned too-bu- about taxpayers the misrepresentations of socalled "family" trusts. The "Setup": "The individual is advised to assign assets and income from current employment to the trust. The promoters then advise that, in exchange, the creator of the trust may receive "compensation" as an officer trustee, or director, as well as certain "fringe benefits," such as "pension use of a rights," "tax-fre- e residence," and "educational endowments" for children. "According to the promoters, once the creator's income is shifted to the trust, the trust is supposedly taxed only on undistributed net income. The promoters also claim that substantially all living expenses of the creator and his or her famiy may be deducted on the trust's fiduciary income tax return as business expenses, and that the balance might then be distributed to the creator's family or to a separate "non- profit" educational trust leaving little or no taxable income to be reported." The "Sting": As you might expect, those benefits are too good to be true. And despite what some promoters say, these "Family Estate," "Pure," or "Educational" trusts are NOT approved by L II A v'Mn ' Using nafaral gas wisely is me to Because iniporaM 99 too. a nut. gas Ipay w I ii ii Paul Astin, Service Representative and can cause suffocation.
