The amendment that raises fees from $1.81 per animal unit month to $8.70 by 1994 passed the U.S. House of Representatives 251-1Oct. 15. It still awaits Senate scrutiny and may not even make the Senate floor before Congress adjourns Friday. But the fact remains, the federal government is literally trying to bite the hand that feeds it. Tbe amendment has already received the condemnation of Farmers Governor Norman Bangerter and the Utah-IdaUnion who have gone on record in opposition. However, if the amendment that could devastate Utahs agricultural industry, is to be overthrown, it is going to take the concerted effort of not only every livestockman and rancher in rural Utah, but the general public as well. Proponents for the grazing fee increase are well organized and are using Congress budget woes as leverage. Sponsor of is the grazing-fe- e amendment Rep. Mike Synar, is fee million annual like the a current $100 claiming grazing "subsidy" to the livestock industry and wants to see a "true market value of grazing to improve the condition of public rangelands by deterring overgrazing." What he isnt saying, however, is that 67 percent of Utahs rangeland is federally owned and that already struggling ranchers are dependent on those federal grazing permits. Can they survive under present economic conditions if the cost of those permits is raised over 500 percent? What eastern coalitions that favor the amendment are also missing, is that the meat they buy in their supermarkets more than likely is raised on these very lands in question. Rural farmers are already being hard hit with escalating fuel prices. In addition, sheepmen in Sanpete and other rural Utah counties are already experiencing hard times due to. poor local markets and no opportunities for added value compensation. This years drought certainly hasnt helped them, either. The critical impact of higher range permits wont just stop with livestockmen and ranchers either. Rural communities and businesses, banks and other institutions dependent on a thriving agricultural community will suffer also. This will eventually impact us all. That is why this must be a community and state effort and involve people from all walks of life. To avoid the catastrophic impact higher grazing permits would have, we urge all to contact their U.S. Senators and 55 ho la. Congressmen. If allowed to pass, the new grazing fees, as defined by this amendment may deal an economic death blow that will destroy the fragile economy of rural Utah. Taxpayers need to revolt y spending against run-a-wa- Dear Editor: The following opinion was printed in the 1990 Utah Women Speak regarding finding out all the facts, both pro and con, on removing sales tax from food. I agree with the points made. Please print it in your paper. Just about every organization, all civic leaders and most politicians from Utahs governor down, have moved away from voting against removing the tax on food because the state will lost too much revenue. You, the voter and taxpayer, decide this issue with pencil and paper. For the next few weeks write down every government expense that is noted on T.V. or mentioned in the newspaper. Your list could include items like: Provos Mayor Jenkins $15,000 plus raise, Governor Bangerters recent trip overseas, the $92,000 renovation of the governors office, (Only part of a $3.5 million expenditure), $100,000 suits against public employees settled out of court (paid for by taxpayers), roads Sanpete's Leading Newspaper THE PYRAMID Published Weekly at Mt. Pleasant Utah 84647 49 West Main Street Telephone: 462-213- 4 that have to be repaired twice and so on. You might need lots of paper. Are these expenses necessary? Should taxpayers foot the bill? These thousands and thousands of dollars that government terms nickel and dimes expenses are not in jeopardy if the state loses revenue. Why not? Taxpayers are being held hostage to a threatened cut only for critical services and education if taxes are cut and revenue is lost. Keep in mind that a cut in critical services would affect politicians and their families also. They will not let this happen. Someday taxpayers will have the courage to revolt against government spending. The question is not if, it is when. Voting to remove tax on food is telling government to cut spending, period.
