Transfer payments' will hurt state, US economy "'Although the"AmeriCan free enterprise system has been able to accomodate considerable sharing of income with the less fortunate, the trend toward economic uniformity that has developed in recent years is eliminating a basic motivating force in production and is threatening the free enterprise system itself. This point was emphasized by Utah Foundation, the private research organization in their latest study of transfer payments in Utah, the U. S. transfer payments are amounts taken by government from the income derived from the production of goods and services and redistributed to individuals who render no concurrent service for such payments. They include such items as welfare payments, unemployment compensation, social security benefits, public employee retirement allowances, veteran pensions and related benefits, etc. While social security originally was devised as an insurance program with benefits paid from trust funds accumulated from worker and employer contributions during productive years, sufficient reserves never have been accumulated to meet incurred liabilities. Rather, the expansion and liberalization of the program Grain loss above Utah State Extension says 90, More than 90 percent of the 25,000 acres of wheat and 3,000 acres of barley planted in Juab County was destroyed by last weeks killer frost, according to Juab County Utah State University Extension Agent Blaine Jones, who, with other agency personnel in the area, has spent the week assessing the frosts damage. Jones calls the frost a disaster of major proportions as far as wheat production in the area is concerned. Considerable damage has also been done to other grains, cherries, corn, alfalfa, and potatoes. It has been estimated that the corn yield will be reduced by 30 percent and the alfalfa yield will be reduced by 20 percent. Jones has several suggestions for salvaging what is left of the crop: Corn Corn should be watered to encourage regrowth. Corn that is damaged by frost will generally yield more than corn that is replanted this late in the season. Alfalfa Alfalfa hay should be harvested as soon as possible to 6ave as many leaves as possible before they dry up and fall off. Wheat, Barley, and other grains Most of the grain crops have been so severly damaged that they will produce little, if any, grain. The grain crops can be salvaged by cutting them and using them as a hay. The hay should be harvested as soon as possible, as it makes better feed when it is harvested green. Hay from grain crops can also made into silage. Where the stand of damaged grain is not heavy enough to justify its use as hay, the only alternative may be to plow it under, Jones says. over the years has brought the system to a point where current payments to eligible recipients now exceed current collections from the entire working force. As a result, the insurance principle in the program has all but vanished. The report shows that transfer payments now account for one out of every seven dollars of personal income in the United States. Last year transfer payments totaled $175 billion and were equal to 14 percent of total personal income received by all individuals in the U. S. In Utah, transfer payments totaled $593 million during 1974 and an estimated $731 million in 1975. This was equal to about 13 percent of the states total personal income. Transfer payments in the United States have more than quadrupled over the past ten years. According to the Foundation study, they are one of the major elements in the expansion in government operations and the huge deficits that have been in- curred. Foundation analysts observe that while there has been general acceptance by the American people of the idea of assisting the poor, the aged, and the sick, there also has developed growing concern over the dramatic escalation of these outlays, and the way many of the programs have been operating. At the close of 1975, approximately 60 million recipients were receiving cash benefits under a variety of income maintenance programs. Others parproticipated indirectly through grams, such as medicaid, medicare, food stamps, school lunch, public housing, etc. The report also expresses concern over the effect that transfer payments have had on reducing the nations ability to raise funds for future capital expansion which is the indispensable element for free enterprise to provide productive jobs. Leading government economists have projected the capital requirements of the nation over the next ten years at $4.5 trillion. This is the sum needed to move the U. S. economy back to its historic growth rate of four percent per year and provide adequate job Please turn to page two in-ki- About the same format as recent years M. the is general program, according to J.
