Make arrangements to have someone cut your grass. Never close all your shades or blinds. Never tell a stranger your vacation plans or address. Never tell a newspaper that youll be leaving on vacation. Even novice burglars will scan newspapers for such items. Just before you leave, take time to double check everything, including all door locks and windows. Then make a check of all gas outlets, electrical appliances and water faucets to make sure they have been turned off. A utility check not only may prevent damage, but also will give you peace of mind during your vacation. Your vacation can be free of worry if you have taken these suggestions to heart. dangerous An official of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Arch N. Booth, has put his finger on one very good reason why the states and the federal government are sinking ever deeper into a morass of debt, taxes and unworkable laws. That reason lies largely with the illogical manner in which the public views the performance of legislative bodies. As Mr. Booth puts it, We Americans have a dangerous hang-u- p when it comes to judging a It goes like this: Efficiency is legislature good. Productivity is a sign of effeciency. Therefore a productive legislature is an efficient legislature . . . And how do we measure the productivity of a legislature? By the A number of laws it passes, of course legislator who introduces few laws is considered derelict, or worse, ignored. Which politician wants to be a member of a hang-u- p Congress or legislature?

STOCK MARKET BUSINESS by BABSON'S REPORTS BUSINESS PICTURE BRIGHTER May 13 There can now be no doubt that the nations economy has shown improvement since the General Motors facilities resumed production last fall after the labor tie-uActually, had it not been for the auto p. strike, industrial production might well have bottomed out in the summer of 1970. But labor disputes do have a critical impact on general activity, and in this instance it was of sufficient force to postpone the absolute low point until November. Labor Figures In Recovery After a protracted shutdown such as that which hit the auto industrys largest manufacturer, catch-u- p output inevitably gives a substantial uplift to industrial production as a whole. This is what happened during the final weeks of the fall season and into the waning weeks of the winter of 1971. Without this pent-u- p production, it would be difficult to guage accurately how much vitality the economy would have enjoyed during this period. The uncertainty as to the degree of inherent recovery is further heightened by the fact that the post-striauto catchup has been accompanied by strike-hedg- e in- ventory accumulation of steel in preparation for possible labor troubles in that key industry this INC. summer. There is also copper stockpiling in anticipation of potential disruptions in this industry as well. Housing Adds Vigor the cause, it must be that the net effect a good boost for general. Residential building, too, has finally responded favorably, in this instance to the increased availability of mortgage credit.

This unexpectedly large increase in new housing starts last December was followed by a setback in the ensuing two months. But the underlying trend was still clearly upward and March saw another surge of sufficient scope to hike the seasonally adjusted annual rate back close to the two-milli- mark. Greater Consumer Confidence At long last, consumers are also lending their assistance in moving the economy ahead. In contrast to recessions of the more distant past, unem- 0 ployment during the business setback did not increase to an inordinate extent, 1969-197- , , fe-th- e . . , : and your mail will be held there until you call for it.

A radio left playing will give your home or apartment the sound of occupancy. vitation. For most people, summer is vacation and travel time. For a burglar, however, its a busy season, the time of year he can walk into a house and clean it out without the worry of someone coming home and surprising him. The Insurance Information Institute offers some tips for those planning summer vacations or overnight trips this year to reduce the chance of theft: Notify your police department of the dates youll be away from home and how you can be reached. Leave the same information and your keys with a neighbor or the building manager for emergency use in case there is a burglary or fire. Stop all home delivery of newspapers, milk, etc. Papers piled in front of your door tell a burglar he doesnt have to worry. You can arrange for a neighbor to pick up your mail, another telltale sign, or inform your postoffice recording electrical activity, this time of the heart.

With residential burglaries up nearly 300 percent in the last decade, vacationers are cautioned to beware of summertime thieves who regard a vacant house as an open in- substantial i fidential information, it is being made available to state and local governments and may be leaked to others, it was testified. In the files of the Social Security Administration are the records of some 2,500 local residents who are receiving retirement or disability benefits. In addition, the agency has employment records of nearly everyone in the area who is in the labor force. Another collector of data is the FBI, which has an estimated 6,600 fingerprints on file of men, women and children living in Carbon County. Included are prints of persons on public payrolls, of those who have been in military service, of people who have been arrested for felonies and of others who have voluntarily submitted their fingerprints for identification purposes. The surveys made periodically by the Census Bureau also produce much private information about people but this is only for statistical purposes and is presumably kept confidential. The purpose of the Senate inquiry is to find a way to control the data banks and prevent misuse of the information in them. In the meantime, dont lose any sleep over these disclosures because if you are living an exemplary life there can be nothing in the computers that may be used against you. On the other hand . . . before the Senate Subcommittee on Con stitutional Rights, it'appears that a wealth of personal information about local people has been stored in the data banks of computers in Washington and elsewhere, ready for instantaneous inspection. Each time a According to one witness, citizen files a tax return, applies for credit or for life insurance, seeks government benefits or interviews for a public job, a dossier is opened under his name. Included is such data as age, birthplace, schooling, income, property holdings, political and social affiliations, tax payments, military record, marital status, law violations and a host of other tidbits of information. It is not so startling to find out that such information is on file, because if you come right down to the nitty-grittthis information, or most of it, is known about you by your friends and neighbors. But, on the other hand, there is a frightening Aspect to the situation when you stop to realize that your government evidently has such information banked away.

On the basis of testimony given recently How ' V despite the degree of publicity accorded the jobless problem. There were and still are IKtckets of high unemployment, but these represent regions hard hit by cutbacks in outlays for military and aerospace projects. Consumers were, of course, upset by the doubtful employment conditions, the adverse effects of inflation, by tight credit and high interest rates in the early stages of the recession, and by disturbing episodes of social unrest. In March of this year, however, consumers finally began to loosen their tight grip on their purse strings, and the Easter season was buying remunerative enough to prove that the public was once again becoming readier to spend money. Best Still Ahead Despite the improved business climate, there are still many problem areas. Unemployment continues reluctant to respond hearteningly to the economic revival. Inflationary pressures remain a grave threat, even though the rise in prices has recently decelerated to some extent. And many industries are still in the doldrums. There is, nevertheless, enough evidence to conclude that the tide has turned. Progress may be slow in the months just ahead, but once the major obstacles are cleared the pace can easily quicken. STATEHOUSE REPORT n As an Another "sticky' tax case headed for court taxability of mineral leases By C. Sharp second sticky tax case which can affect materially the states revenue picture is headed for the courts. This is to determine whether state mineral leases or improvements upon them are taxable. Great Salt Lake Minerals and Chemicals Corp. which has invested more than $10 million in dikes and other operations along the shore of Great Salt Lake west of Ogden claims that its operation is nontaxalbe. This is because the lakeshore land is leased from the state and the cbmpany must pay royalty on magnesium, potash and other minerals to be refined from concentrate from the solar evaporation ponds. Under Section of the Utah Code a privilege tax may be levied by the state upon possession and use of property such as state lands in the companys lease. But such a tax can be imposed only if the lessee is entitled to exclusive possession on the leasehold. Multiple Use Theoretically this companys lease and hundreds of other state and federal mineral leases can ixrmit multiple use of the land A tax-exem- pt exempting the leases from privilege tax which is practically the same as a property however, that no one is likely to obtain a second lease conflicting with exclusive possession of the lakeshore or other mineral leasses. Great Salt Lake Minerals & Chemicals Corp. paid its 1970 taxes under protest and now has asked the State Tax Commission to conduct a formal hearing on its protest as a preliminary to a law suit. Amendment Lost Vernon L. Holman, Tax Commission chairman, reports that an amendment to the Privilege Tax Law to eliminate the "exclusive Presumably elimination of the exclusive possession phrase will make the matter moot and make the leaseholds taxable without question.

This would permit municipalities to divert money now used for these purposes to police work, Rampton said. Such a law appears to be in for opposition from Salt Lake County small towns.
