TO ELI3IINATE TAX-FRE- E LANDS Our friend Judge Hollenbeck seems to be spendthe most of his time these days studying and talking taxes on lands. He is trying to get ing a for suit to force the state to pay taxes on support lands which have been taken over by the state land board on foreclosures. Approximately six thousand dollars was paid to Duchesne county for county and school use by the state on the decision he won in the supreme court over a year ago, forcing the state to pay all taxes delinquent on this property at the time the state took it over. With practically the same arguments in his favor, the judge feels sure that he can be just as successful in winning a decision forcing the state to pay current taxes on this property. Tax-fre- e land, a.s represented by these state lands and Indian lands have always presented one of the main problems of Duchesne and Uintah counties, and of course are no small problem throughout the state. The aim is not so much to demand these taxes from the state, for that in its final analysis is merely a question of shifting a tax burden from one branch of government to another. The final goal is to get the land back into private ownership, and this will be done much more quickly if the state finds itself paying taxes out of the general funds of these lands. Under the present set-ua person leasing or buyone of these of ing pieces property either pays no taxes or pays taxes only on his equity, whichever the case may be, yet at the same time he enjoys the same privileges and protections ofgovernment that the full taxpayer enjoys. Also this is an incentive to continue leasing or to delay full purchase as long as possible, an incentive to sway from true Americanism, for it is generally accepted that true freedom and indepen- - From the forest supervisors office at Provo, Utah, a report is made quoting, in part, an article by Frank C. Hibben of the University of New Mexico, which is based on records of lion travel, lion kills, and 3,000 stomach analyses. It was found that lion food was predominately deer as 82 per cent of the food found in stomachs proved to be venison; rabbit and porcupine each 6 per cent with the remaining 6 per cent made up of badger, fox, coyote, skunk, beaver, prairie dog, and domestic animals. It is significant that domestic animals only made up one-ha- lf of one per cent of the lion's diet as cows, horses, sheep, and goats were abundant where the data were gathered. Individual lions seems to favor a particular species; thus one lived entirely on porcupine, another on rabbits and several on deer, and many had no indications of domestic animal substances in their stomachs. Mr. Hibben presents evidence to indicate that deer kills are predominately of abnormal or'diseas-e- d animals, although he states that the data are too meager to be conclusive. However, Supervisor Larson reports that throughout central Utah, trappers, stockmen, and forest officers have noticed that lion kills are more plentiful in bucks than in female deer or fawns.

Confronted with the largest crop of birds in history, growers spokesmen announced that more than 200,000 chain and independent retailers have agreed to talk turkey to consumers in a nationwide effort to increase turkey consumption and stave off a serious economic setback for producers. of the drive Announcement came from Abram Barker, Taylorsville grower and chairman of the Utah Turkey Growers Stabilization Committee, which is coactivordinating grower-retailities throughout the state.

The marketing problem is serious, Barker explained, Government estimates place the national supply at 32 million birds, 22 per cent more than 1938 and 15 per cent more than in 1936, the largest previous production. Utah growers must market about 1,000,000 birds or 30 per cent more than ever before. By attacking the problem as one of rather and by utilthan izing the streamlined facilities of the organized retailers, we hope to make a sizeable dent in the supply and stabilize the market for the benefit of producer and consumer alike.
