Government Controls Cited As Reason For Food Cost Hikes The food industry is on the front line of Americans irritation, and nowhere are people asked to face the facts of a modem economy more squarely than the food market. These were concerns of grocers which Thomas S. Carroll, chairman of the Grocery Manufacturers of America, told news media representatives last week. Our purpose is to bring our case directly to the consumer and we feel we are obligated to make some explanation, he said. CARROLL speaking in Salt Lake City told members of Ithe Utah news- papers, radio and television that although the cost of food has risen approximately 90 percent in the past ten years, it has risen only as much as the general rate of inflation while other goods and services such as gas and electricity have jumped 113 percent. However, food gets the blame, he said because the consumer is confronted at least twice a week with the necessity of putting down cold cash on the counter for the food items he buys, Carroll pointed out that other purchases come less frequently or are paid for in installments over a long period of time. - The villian is inflation he claimed but added there is no single, simple answer to the question. He said all segments of the food industry are involved in the food cost structure, but the industry has no control over acts of Cod or acts of government. HE SAID that the housewife may . find herself paying $1 for a head of lettuce in the near future because of severe weather conditions such as drought, floods and unseasonable freezes'.

Carroll produced figures to show that in the last ten years while food has risen 90 percent, taxes are up 144 percent, and the legislative appropriations of congress have risen 360 percent. LESS THAN one third of the food The Utah Supreme Court upheld the right of public school teachers and administrators to run and to take office in the Utah Legislature Tuesday. But in an unsigned opinion the court did not decide the question of whether school tealchers must then resign their jnlis once they take office as legislators. SEN. KARL G. Swan is one of five Utah legislators currently employed in public education who are affected by the recent piling in the states hiiest court. A Salt Lake real estate broker brought suit three months ago and charged in a petition for an extraordinary writ that school teachers and administrators would exercise (lowers in two branches of government when in the legislature. He contended this was forbidden by the Utah constitution. The justices seemed widely divided on the question, hut more in agreement that the method of judicial review had been the wrong way to approach the controversy. THE SHORT main opinion said defendants (as school administrators and teachers) were not disqualified to become candidates, nor from being elected as memliers of the Legislature. That similarly, they are not disqualified from being sworn in as members of the Legislature. The question is not presented in this proceeding, and the court does not decide, what status the defendants must occupy in relation to their respective school districts during the time they serve in the Legislature (or during the term for which they were elected -- lie continued, "Shmilil this court address an issue not presently it, (such as) whether or not an edmator may serve at the same time as a legislator, it would constitute a departure from the constitutional and statutory powers and its views thereon would be deemed advisory only."

In a letter to all its members. the AT THE PRESENT time persons receiving retirement checks or are allowed a flat $4800 exemption regardless of age. Should SB9 become law persons under the age of 65 would lose this exception and would be required to pay state income tax on his entire retirement check. pen-sio- as Inter-mounta- in Retired Officers Association, President, LTC Joseph J. Walsh, stated: The timing for this tax increase is incredible, considering that property taxes have just taken a marked increase and a myriad of other tax increases are being considered by all levels of government. Failure to increase the current $4800 exemption in itself results in an annual tax increase as the retiree pension increases with inflation. LTC Walsh further suggested that all members of the association write and send aMetter to the area State Repunfair resentative), telling them ot :e ness of this latest attack against Utah retiree community.
