The money for their education comes from Kennecotts state and local taxes, which total about $13,780,000 for 1957. Of that amount, $6,800,000 is for school operation and an additional $1,900,000 is for school building. Kennecott pays its taxes, just as it pays other operating costs, from money earned by producing copper and selling it profitably. When production is based on ore averaging only 82 hundredths of one percent copper, success depends to a large extent on keeping costs down. However, during the war years and the period of high copper demand that followed, the emphasis was on maximum production, because Kennecott wanted to keep its customers supplied with the metal they needed. Cost of production was a secondary factor. Now the situation has changed and it is essential that Kennecott get its costs in line to compete in todays copper market. And that poses a problem. Costs have been rising sharply. In just the past five years employment costs have risen 46, supplies anfl equipment have gone up substantially and state and local taxes have climbed 85. So Kennecott is seeking economies in a wide variety of waysi through work simplification, expanded use of employee suggestions, improved methods, better use of supplies and equipment and the most efficient use of the work force. Switching the emphasis from, production to economy will be of tremendous importance to Kennecott and to Utah. It will help Kennecott continue to operate successfully. And successful operations mean continued benefits, including tax payments that do such a big job of helping to educate Utah children.
