Thereupon, he or she goes merrily about his or her way. In the meantime, Mrs. Pagano makes her rounds and tickets the car because the meter is in good working order and has the violation flag upright. This procedure usually is followed by caustic notes, in many instances questioning the integrity of the city administration as well as the meter maid. To salve the feelings of all concerned, the motorist should select the proper slot before inserting the coin, and then if the meter is at fault repairs will be made immediately.

And utility advertising and promotion of loads helps make attempting to build more efficient use of generation and keeps the cost of power low. There are available ways to eliminate smoking stacks by use of electrostatic precipitators. For example, Utah Power & Lights Huntington Canyon Plant is incorporating all the environmental safeguards that present-da- y technology can offer and the utility just placed an order for an electrostatic precipator which will cost $3.25 million and will remove 99.5 percent of particulate from stack emissions. Such a realization of responsibility indeed is commendable and should satisfy the most ardent conservationists and is doubling every ten years. argue that this perpetually accelerating expansion of power is not necessary. They maintain that people should replace the outmoded standard of living concept by the more human quality of life concept. The fact is the quality of life and electric energy use are bound together; moreover, without electricity our whole civilization as we know it comes to a halt. There is hardly a move you can make if there were no electric power to help us accomplish what you want to do. It is false to argue for the discouragement of the use of the electricity by curtailing its use, by charging premium rates for greater use of electricity and the curbing of industrys advertising and promotion' of electricity. Increased use of electricity is fundamental to solving the very environmental problems facing the nation: Some conservationists off-pe- HERALD, NEZPERCE, IDAHO you pay a dingle tax every time you decide to go fishing and dangle a worm in your favorite stream in pursuit of recreation. How come you have to pay a dingle tax. Well, it all came about back in 1950 when a couple of individuals in the United State Congress by the names of Dingell and Johnson introduced a bill which enacted a tax on all fishing tackle, and the darned thing passed, so consequently you have to pay a dingle tax every time you want to dangle a worm. As a result of the legislation, the citizens of this nation have paid over $100 million in dangling taxes . . . Yes, its a great old world when you cant even dingle or dangle without paying some sort of federal excise tax.

As we move into the second quarter of the year, it is becoming more evident that the economy is emerging from the doldrums. The Babson Research Staff, however, feels that the key question is still how rapid the recovery will be. In recent weeks there has been increasing doubt as to the realibility of the Nixon Administrations prediciton that the Gross National Product will reach the record-smashin- g rate of $1,065 trillion by the end of 1971. Not a Cinch At this time it appears the Administration may have set its sights too high. It could well be that, unless additional pumppriming measures are initiated, the loginess which still pervades general business may prevent achievement of the White House objectives, even though the basic trend has turned upward. One monetary policy has thus far not been able to move business upward to any appreciable degree. Even the infusion of credit into the banking system has not led to expansion of legitimate business endeavors, and loan demand continues to lag. The Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board opposes any further speed-u- p in credit expansion because of the persistent inflation threat, plus the lack of credit demand. Other Possible Assists liberalizing of depredation guidelines and .hike in sodal security payments are steps in - STOCK MARKET BABSON'S REPORTS INC. the right direction. Also, post- ponement until 1972 of expansion of the social security tax base is helpful in lifting demand for goods and services. But unless the economy picks up soon, it may take further stimuli to get things going. High on the list could be a tax cut. This could stem from early implementation of the benefits included in the 1969 tax reform program. The Research Staff of Babsons Reports does not, however, expect a move of this nature to be made until after midyear. Some form of inis another comes policy possibility. This Quarter Crucial As our 1971 Business Forecast earlier predicted, the first year was marked quarter substantial strength in steel by and autos. Residential building also provided some support. However, it was disappointing that other economic forces did not also gain momentum. This second calendar quarter will bear special watching. Steel inventory accumulation in anticipation of a possible strike will probably be the backbone of industrial activity. We are also headed into the brisk season for home building. But the rest of the picture This second calendar quarter will bear special watching. Steel inventory accumulation in anticipation of a possible strike will probably be the backbone of industrial activity. We are also headed into the brisk of this season for home building. But the rest of the picture is less clear. Consumer spending has shown some improvement in recent weeks, but the sustained high unemployment rate and the scarcity of jobs are stifling confidence. And business still shows little inclination to expand inventories or step up capital outlays. Deceptive Comparisons In examining the performance of the economy during this quarter, we must look beneath the surface rather than accept at face value what appear to be solid year-to-yeadvances. Physical volume of business, for example, is likely to show up favorably versus a year ago because results for the second quarter of 1970 were hurt by the Teamsters strike against the trucking industry. In terms of dollar value, there is the added consideration of the inflation factor. Sales, as well as costs, are magnified by rising prices, thus making the results for the current year even more impressive as compared with 1970s second quarter. our weed the sugar beets until initiated. fund drive was of the Through the cooperation station radio the and newspaper are now very few people con- unaware of a problem laborers. cerning these farm Reports views prospects for 1971 as being generally constructive.

STATEHOUSE South Utah land values double due to influx in last 10 years By C. Sharp Market prices of land in southern Utah have jumped as much as 300 to 400 percent during the past eight to 10 years. This was reported April 15 by Mark H. Crystal, education chairman, Utah Society of Farm and Ranch Managers and Appraisers. Crystal also is land specialist for the State Land those affected, wrote Justice R. L. Tuckett. The court upheld a decision by the late Third District Judge Leonard W. Elton.

Pollution-Densit- y He said population density, turbulence, pollution and earthquakes have been factors in the exodus. Besides, southern Utah has a favorable climate and this state is considered to offer greater stability and security, he said. Crystal spoke at a seminar of his group in the auditorium of the State Office Building. The State Supreme Court unanimously held April 16 that the 1970 Common Day of Rest Act is unconstitutional because of vagueness.

Money for the project was made available by the Federal Highway Administration to stimulate areas of underdevelopment. Next fall the department is to advertise for bids for building six miles of divided freeway from Harley Dome to the Utah-Colora- state line. This job is to be completed by August, 1973 when Colorado also is scheduled to open a section eastward from the state line. Comb Ridge Henry C.

Only surfacing and fencing will need to be added later. The federal agency had allocated $3.5 million in public lands money to the state prior to an order by President Nixon freezing all such projects. Strong protests were lodged.

Large as this amount is, it may be the smallest sum they will be called upon to Iiay, on an annual basis, for some time to come. The expectations for the next fiscal year, beginning July 1, 1971, run considerably higher. The budget counts on personal income taxes reaching $93.7 billion, which is $5.4 billion more than at present. For Carbon County residents to be able to carry their current share of that tax load and, at the same time, maintain their present standard of living, their 1971 incomes will have to be about 6.1 percent higher than they were in the committee and the Utah Man the Council, I wish to thank for its efforts on our Federal tax bite Now that you have made your peace with Unde &im, and we hope you did prior to the April 15 deadline, you may have time to consider just how big the bite was this time. Last year, approximately $3,981,000 in liersonal income taxes left the local area, bound for Washington. This time, based upon amount is government estimates, the over-a- ll expected to be somewhat less. This is so due to the favorable factor of a smaller surtax, 214 percent, and despite the fact that many people earned more money in 1970 than in the previous year. The reason is that there were many more people than usual who were unemployed. As a result, the government expects to collect $88.3 billion in personal taxes nationwide, or $1.9 billion less than last April. Carbon Countys share of the tax load was determined by an unofficial breakdown of the payments received from the state of Utah as a whole, which totaled $304,000,000.
