Somethin!? must be done nj?ht away about ui nation s gargantuan deficit Hut is there a quick fix Yv a simple tax that could be enacted in a few weeks, that that, with one bold stroke, would raise close to $1 00 billion and halve our annual deficit Briefly, we should tax gasoline $1 a gallon at th pump Here are some ; te i oer.t.s f r such a tax r. would e our borrowing binge and give the economy a balance it needs to sustain the current pace of economic expansion. It would protect millions of jobs that would be lost if the economy faltered. It would put us back on the path of living within our means, and help reduce our monstrous trade deficit. It would enable us to share some of our remaining oil with our children, and would safeguard our national security by placing a new curb on the power of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries. Is such a tax fair? Japan and our neighbors in Western Europe ans solution'' ! wered this question in the mid-70- s when all of them enacted taxes that doubled the price of gasoline. In Europe today, gasoline prices are still $2 50 to $3 per gallon. Consumers bear this burden because they know it is necessary to protect the economies of their countries. Is such action politically feasible? Not if Washington offers politics-as-usuaHowever, we must put the country first. Warnings are flashing - unless there is a shift, America will claim the title of the worlds largest debtor next year, and official statistics are telling us our domestic petroleum output will enter a period of decline in this decade. Is it asking too much to urge our lawmakers to put their demagogic speeches about regressive taxes in their pockets and pass a tax that will encourage their constituents to start making smart decisions now - decisions that will produce big savings for them and their children in the 1990s? l. 'K & Kennecott may have bright future Senator Jake Garn, after three and a half years of head knocking with the EPA announced recently final approval of the revised Utah State Implementation Plan (SIP) for control of sulfur dioxide emissions from the Kennecott Copper Smelter. Garn Said Kennecotts smelter has achieved over 90 percent sulfur dioxide removal, and is one of, if not the most controlled copper smelters in the U.S. The company has spent over $1.5 billion on pollution control. The effect of this approval on Kennecott is three fold:. l.It means the company will not have to spend over $200 million more to install an additional acid plant which would only reduce S02 emissions by 3 to 5 percent. action lifts the construcat Kennecott, which has prevented modernization of its Utah facilities. 3. By not having to expand over $200 million more on the smelter, it lifts a cloud of doubt now hanging over a company considering the future of its Utah operations. This action does not guarantee the Utah Copper Divisions survival, but without it Kennecott was concluded Senator surely dead, Garn. 2- .EPAs tion ban now in place POST OFFICE Mr s Reynolds 2nd graders at Salma Elementary built a working mode! tf the U S Post Office after a tour through Salma s PO taught them Bnct'rl Group, tor , u !adr.g tan tw tUh coal tcoooituraily corn tiH lo nibrtif hr'dif crude J through pyrolyait Pyroiytn tt a proct-wm)nr.g t chrmiral decompoaiUon of a by heal Utah coal dwM-breauae of tta high voUehiy w uh w hlch the oi) can and the be extracted The Uudy tt funded by Electrical Power Research lnU-lute- , the state of Utah, and Utah Power and Light Bechtel hope to learn if char a solid charcoal tike by product, can be used by electric utilities as feed slock for coal fired plants m xub-aun- u n tut Police have busy week 4th: A gas skip was February reported at 711.

Populous Weber and Utah counties had overall increases, but outside the metropolitan areas, construction tended to stay level or decline moderately. Big dropoffs occurred in coal and oil areas of the state. Millard County was one exception to the general rural trend. It had a 30 percent increase over 1983, and continued growth is expected as IPP progresses.
