Social Security taxes have become a greater financial burden to the average family than Federal income taxes. This conclusion was reached in a report by Utah Foundation, the private nonprofit tax research organization. Foundation calculations show that an average family of four persons with an annual income of $5,500, pays approximately $370 per year in Federal income taxes. The combined federal social security tax that will be paid by this family head and his employer next more than the year will amount to $462, or Federal income tax liability. Foundation analysts observe that the increase next year will be the tenth time that Social Security taxes have been raised since the program was inaugurated 30 years ago. When the Social Security Act was passed in 1935, the maximum combined tax was $60, with scheduled increases calling for an eventual combined tax of $180 per year. This years Social Security tax hike will not be the last. Still to come, are additional increases scheduled for in the law for 1967, 1969, 1973, 1980 and 1987. Eventually, the combined tax rate will reach 11.30 per cent, with the combined maximum Social Security tax totaling $745.80 per year. Social Security taxes were raised materially by the 1965 U.S. Congress to finance the new Medicare program and higher Social Security benefits. The rate, which must be paid by both the employe and employer, was boosted from three and per cent to 4.2 per cent effective Jan. 1, 1966. In addition this higher rate will apply to the first $6,600 in annual earnings instead of the first $4,800 which has been the case heretofore. one-four- th it it it And still more stories of the hunt!

San Juan County charges $94.34 per capita in property taxes to support and implement county programs. The state average is $23.82 and lowest in the state is Cache County charging an average of $10.79 per capita. Services offered, however, make up a good part of the difference as does the fact that despite its low population, San Juan County still is the biggest county in area In the state and the network of roads, alone, is a DOLORES, COLO.
