The postal service is not offering an increase in mail service by the change. They are merely saying that it will not deteriorate. Come guys, show us that behind those neat three piece suits there is really a heart that cares about the community it serves. The decision should be made to give Midvale a full time postmaster and leave its post office as an independent branch. V 7.7 w gas-power- X 10 SflCKfl f&fiftOi iff ormm?...

IKahns may reduce federal flax load by prepaying state taxes Many Utahns will be able to reduce their federal tax load for 1981 by prepaying their state income taxes. This option, which will be made available by the Utah State Tax Commission this year, is emphasized in the latest Utah Foundation release. The tax research organization pointed out that the new federal tax law reduces federal income tax rates over the next three years. Consequently, it usually is advantageous to defer receipt of taxable income and accelerate itemized deductions, whenever possible, in order to take advantage of lower federal tax rates in the years ahead. individuals For there is a special advantage to reduce taxable income for 1981, ' high-incom- e since the maximum federal tax rate will be lowered from 70 percent in 1981 to 50 percent in 1962.

That belief was strengthened by a recent hearing held to examine new features of a bill I reintroduced this year to compensate fallout victims. Four earlier hearings were held on the issue in St. George, Salt Lake, Las Vegas and Washington in 1979 and 1960. The bill is by 16 other senators including Jake Garn, Ted Kennedy and Nevada's Paul Laxalt.
