It discusses the major problems and difficulties experienced by the state officials charged with enforcing . . these taxes. Auditing Is Inadequate The report discloses that Utahs auditing program is inadequate measured by tiie experience of other states. It is pointed out, example, that while Oregons population is only slightly more than twice that of Utahs, it has seven times as many income tax auditors. According to the report, lack of sufficient funds for tax enforcement work has been the principal reason for the inadequate auditing program in Utah, and low salary levels have made it difficult for the State to obtain and retain staff. an adequate auditing During the past year, .the reMack Junior Bowen Is port observes, turnover among Home on Army Furlough the sales tax auditing staff has been 100 percent, that is, there Pvt.

In addition to increased auditing activity, the report urges improved coordination of tax enforcement work among several tax enforcement agencies and levels of government. The report points out that multiple taxation now exists to such an extent that approximately two thirds of all Federal, state, and local revenue comes from sources in which ail three levels of government participate. This situation has complicated collection of the taxes and has led to a considerable amount of duplication and overlapping in enforcement work, which is costly not only to the governmental agencies involved but also to the taxpayer who Is required to present his records to several different enforcement agencies. foe , Beef Producers Meeting Monday A meeting will be held February 7, Monday, at 8 p. m. at the Bear River High school for all beef producers of the county and all others interested in the problems of beef feeding, according to Paul R.
