Box 71 West Jordon, Utah 84080 Utah Gets 82 Million From BUM The State of I'tali has received a check for $2,40 1.921. Iff from the U. S. Department of the Interiors bureau of Land Management. Paul L. Howard. BLM slate director for I'tah, said the check was the regular payment for the state's share of BLM mineral leasing receipts between July 1 and December 1. 1974. By provisions of the Mineral Leasing Act of 1920, the state receives 37.5 per cent of bonuses, royalties and rentals received from semi-annu- the state. The total BLM paid to the state treasury for calendar year 1974 w as $5,008,575.22. In addition to the money paid to the state treasury, a check for $1,333.38 has been sent by the bureau to the Garfield County Treasuier. Mr. Howard added. This check represents 25 per cent of BLM receipts during 1974 from lands acquired by the federal gov- under ernment the Bankhead-Jone- Farm Tenant Act. BRING A BUNCH . . . FOR SUNDAY BRUNCH s Total spending in Utah from current revenues will reach $756 million next year under the budget proposed by the Governor to the 1975 Utah legislature. This sum represents an increase of $72 million, or 10.5 over the $694 million authorized for state purposes in 1974-75- . These facts were pointed out by Utah Foundation, the private research agency in their analysis of the 1975-7- 6 state budget. OF TIIE $756 million proposed expenditures from current funds for 1975-7approximately $387 million, or 51.2 would go for education. Public schools would receive $252 million (33.3) and higher education would get $135 million (17.9). Other major areas of state spending would include social services - $146.3 million (19.4), highways and transportation - $113.2 million (15.0), general government - $61.3 million (8.1), natural resources - $19.3 million million public safety - $18.1 debt retirement and interest - $5.7 million (0.8), and development services - $5.3 million (2.6), (2.4), The Foundation study notes that the 1975-7- 6 Governors budget contemplates an increase in the state individual tax income amounting to $12.8 million. This would lx-- done to make up the revenue loss that xvas incurred when Utah adopted the Federal method of reporting in 1973. The Governor that this suggested change could be made either by raising the existing income tax structure or by returning to the old 'state income tax law. He expressed ;a preference for the second alternative.

Such an exemption would reduce revenue from the tax by approximately $2 million a year. THERE IS also a possibility that the Governor might recommend a three cent per gallon increase in the gasoline tax. The Foundation rejiort states that the Governor will submit a supplemental highway budget message in about 45 days. Because there is a likelihood of Federal legislation which would affect highway finances, the matter was postponed until this later time. Foundation analysts cite the following as some of the other important points brought out in the Governor's budget message: The Governors budget recommends that part of the increase for personnel costs lie used to provide larger increases in retirement benefits, with corresmaller increases in sponding current salaries. A 12 increase for personnel costs is built into the actual costs of the school program and not the estimated costs. Rather than increase fishing or hunting licenses, he suggested that the State should appropriate $3 million from the General Fund to the Division of Wildlife Resou- respective departmental budgets. is to cover increases for both current salaries and retire- 1974 will be remembered as the year of many things Watergate, presidential resignation and ment benefits. RECOMMENDED state support of the public schools in 1975-7- 6 was set at $205.9 million, over the a increase of 16.2 current fiscal year. It was proposed that the amount of support per weighted pupil unit be raised from $560 to $610, and that a major boost amounting to $9,620,000 be made in the school employees retirement program.

Eventually the .noble Romans did destroy Carthage, although whether it was because thev were tired of listening to Catos commercials or for other reasons I dont remember. In the tradition of Cato, I have oxer the years tried repeatedly to call attention to the groxving problems of the Social Security system, in hopes of provoking some constructive action. alarmed I have occasionally some kind souls into misinterpreting mv remarks as an attack on the svstem in general and present lxmefit levels in particular. That is not my intention. I am simply trying to warn one and all that the ship of Social Security is steaming directly for an iceburg. unlike so many The problem is not immediate. Pretwlay sent recipients of benefits have little to fear. But the younger members of the workforce will face some grim choices ten or twenty years down the road, if xve dont wake up to reality right now. WHAT'S WRONG Social Security is heading for trouble because two key assumptions governing the adequacy of future funding levels have proven faulty. One of these is the assumption that pay levels would continue to increase roughly twice as fast as prices. They havent. The other assumption is that lTS population growth would take much longer to reach a "replacezero or ment, population now appears level than growth, to be the case. Why are these faulty assumptions so potentially dangerous? Because Social Security is not funded like an insurance company. Present beneficiaries are paid from the taxes on present workers and their employers. And the level of benefits for both present and future retirees is programmed to rise along xvith increases in the cost of living. So, benefits will increase in the future faster than the ability of the workforce to pay for them, if present trends continue. On top of this condition there will come a day when those born during the baby boom of the years immediately after World War II reach retirement age and there is left in the workforce only the smaller baby bust of the present to support them. sju-ec- sided between employer and If xou are ill this last category is alie.nlx sthedulcd to trx to learn as much as you can 1. about the alternatives and let go up to 1.9 percent by 201 2.
