County affected? state-by-stat- ARE THEY paying more or less than people in other By FLORENCE BITTNER Since the early days of this column when I put my foot right the middle of a Mothers Day bakery sale by complaining about the commercialization of motherhood, I have hesitated to take a money making industry to task, but here I come, cudgel in hand and foot in mouth. SOME enterprising sales- men have convinced this that generation music relaxes; therefore we should have music wherever we go. I say not so. I think music is to be listened to and only when we stop and hear it does music relax. When piped into the super- market or blasted above the heads of the mob in a shopping mall, it isnt music its - noise. AS FAR as my own nervous system is concerned, the soothing strains of the Blue Danube wafted into the room while the dentist has at m teeth with hammer and chisel does nothing to make me relax, but does very effectively provide me with lingering dislike of the Blue Danube. When I am dining at a restaurant with friends, we usually go there to eat and to visit.

WHEN I can hear the words of the songs the young listen to I am reminded today, somewhat of the ballads of the age of chivlary when the singers preserved and perpetuated legends. So much of todays music is protest and promoting a cause. Young people seem so earnest and get so terribly worked up about their singing. But then, who can ignore a singer who gyrates, suffers, blasts, and writhes accompanied by flashing colored lights? PERHAPS one reason background music bothers me is that I believe when an ac- - vices. as a FOR whole, the cost of state and local government operations averaged $664 per capita in fiscal 1975, an increase of $46 over the previous year. For residents of Davis County, the tax load was approximately $580 per capita. sanitation, roads, health services and the like. As a result, according to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, state and local taxes have been rising sharply. In some communities they have more than doubled in the past 10 years. AMERICANS ' ELSEWHERE in the state of Utah it was $506 or $34 THE increases in BIG cer- tain sections of the country are attributed chiefly to heavy welfare outlays in their areas and to the inflated cost of materials equipment and OTOTOTOTOT' labor. In all taxes in the amount of $141 billion were collected by state and local governments in the past year. This compares with $68 billion in unless some insight and appreciation is fed along with the art, the only reaction will be superficial, like the tourists who view the paintings of the great masters and only see that they didnt know how to paint babies. I say all the background music is teaching us is ho to compete with noise, and theres enough of that. Cant we please turn off the noise so we can get back to an appreciation of music in its proper setting? 1968. THE COMMERCE Clearing House reports that there are 32 states in the "billionsifts club, consisting of those that collected at now least $1 billion in 1975. In Davis County, state and local taxes reached an estimated total of $66,062,000 in the year. HOLIDAY BONUS FREE!

I do not have the radio plugged into the light switch and I dont turn on the TV when I get out of bed in the morning. I usually do not listen to the radio in the car, and I dont load the stereo with records as I go about my household chores. SOMEWHERE in my youth in the days before automated sound, out in the vast and lonely land where I spent my childhood, I learned to need to listen to my own thoughts.
