Surrounded by bodyguards at his hotel, Miller said he ignored the advice of police and decided to keep his meeting to discuss grievances, but changed his mind when he neared the meeting place.

"This revenue is needed to meet the cost of public services required by the population growth resulting from increased coal production," he said. Matheson also called for an equalization of property taxes rates throughout the state, a reduction of the state inheritance tax, and rebates of sales taxes on food and of property taxes on the homes of low income and elderly people. Creer told a senior citizens gathering in Ogden he would like to do away with sales tax on food, but immediate repeal of the tax would cost the state an estimated $35 million in revenue "While elimination of this regressive tax would be my ultimate goal as governor, it should be phased out gradually to cushion its affect on the state's economy," said the Salt Lake attorney. Creer said he would work to attract new industry to the state which would generate other tax revenue that could replace the food sales tax. By United Press International til Park. Norman W. Kyi. 58.
