Tffliie QJtffllhl Sceiroe Farm leader protests tax bill veto The Utah Farm Bureau Federation expressed deep disappointment Governor Calvin at Ramptons veto of the recently passed inheritance tax reform bill. d A bill passed by such an overwhelming majority in both houses of the legislature should not have been vetoed by the Governor, Elmo W. much-neede- Hamilton, Utah Farm Bureau President declared. Only one house member and five senators voted against the bill. Under the measure, inheritance taxes assessed against property passed from one generation to another would have been sharply reduced. According to a recent US Department of Agriculture study, rampant inflation has caused a rapidly growing number of farms and ranches to be sold to pay inheritance taxes. Burdensome inheritance taxes at state and federal levels are contributing to the significantly prices further upward, Hamilton said. The Farm Bureau leader said farmers recognize the need to keep the state budget balanced. But he said a veto of the inheritance tax bill will not significantly help balance the budget worrying the Governor because the reduction in tax income would not have been felt for at least one year. Hamilton expressed hope that Governor Ramptons veto of the state bill would not have unfavorable impact on federal legislation aimed at reducing federal estate taxes. President Gerald Ford recently listed as a major administration goal for 1976. More than 80 estate tax reform congressmen have to join under the volunteer concept were black and poor. Because the Air Force, Navy, and Marines have special such as technical training, college programs, and offerings image; their recruitment programs have had a pretty easy time of it all along. It is the Army though, which has to hustle most. The Army on a national basis needs men and women power in numbers nearly reaching 800,000. To maintain this gigantic force it must recruit as many as 390,000 people annually. Utah's share of this committment is under 1,700. Generally, both Utah and the nation have kept up with this goal. Right now, for instance, the Utahs Army recruitment is only around fifteen per cent behind in its yearly committments. However, during the past seven weeks it has met or exceeded its goal. The same holds true on a national basis. Pentagon officers report that ail of the Armys 13 divisions are combat ready. In 1971 only half of the Armys divisions were at combat strength and readiness. Of course, much of the problem could be laid at the food of the war in Vietnam which had soured many of the nations young people. The quality of the Army volunteer has also risen during the last couple of years. At the beginning of the volunteer program a large majority of the recruits had not graduated from high school; they were people who had no jobs and no place to go. Now, more than sixty five per cent of the Army enlistees hold high school - movement of farmland out agriculture. The net impact is to force food ft 2.

Deadline set for Utah bicentennial spon- sored legislation to reduce estate taxes. Hamilton said the farm group would vigorously pursue a second passage of the act in the 1977 session of the legislature. graduation certificates. Except for one major problem, the entire military establishment could feel relaxed about future enlistments. The problem? There is strong talk in Congress of doing away with the GI Bill. In fact, there is a possibility that it could end as early as this January. Whenever Congress puts an end to it, though, it could cause serious problems for volunteer enlistments, especially in the Army. The Air Force and Navy recruiters I talked to here in Utah didnt feel that the end of the GI Bills educational benefits would affect their recruitment very much. Both of these services have college degree programs for their enlistees anyway. Army people, on the other hand, told me that up to sixty per cent of the people they recruit are motivated to some degree by the prospect of getting some of their college education paid for when they get out. Many of the Armys recruits are people who have either started post high school training and dropped out because of financial difficulties or who would like to get into some advanced schooling and cant afford it at the offset. If the end of the Bills educational benefits does spell trouble for Army recruiters, it could also have dangerous consequences for the nation as a whole. If the Army cant get enough people to fill its ranks, it may lower its entrance requirements. The possibility exists that the Army could become a haven for dropouts and law breakers. This possibility would be bad enough under traditional circumstances; but under the volunteer concept it would be especially dangerous. In the first place, the volunteer program has had to raise the wages of army personnel to get them to enlist. Right now, a basic recruit earns $361.00 a month, plus all of the traditional living benefits. A married recruit gets as high as $555.00 plus benefits. These competitive wages, in fact, are one of the major reasons congress wants to do away with the GI Bill: If a military man makes as much as a civilian, why should the civilian have to pay for his own as well as the GIs education? These high wages mean that more people will make a career out of the Army. In short, the military becomes a profession competa-tiv- e with any other. In my opinion, this is dangerous. A civilian fighting a war on $70.00 a month, for instance, is a lot more likely to make sure he is fighting for real causes. Why should he leave a job without some real emotional and psychological motivation? The draft, then, did provide a kind of check against needless war, or war for trivial reasons. I have always felt that the military ought to be, for the most part, a civilian military. Now with the prospect that the Army may have to lower its entrance requirements in order to attract enough volunteers, I am even more opposed. A professional Army is bad enough; but a professional Army of misfits is a sleeping tiger, a hungry tiger. War is much to serious a business to be left in the hands of the military; or, in fact, industry or anyone but those who will ultimately pay for the consequences of war - the civilians.
