Among comments registered by survey respondents were several asking why the d school option couldn't be implemented, w'ith one writing that students could have seven-da- y vacations at various intervals, while another said four, three week breaks would be beneficial. year-roun- THE SEVEN period day will mean students could take courses within the school day not possible under the six period setup, thanks to new requirements mandated by the state board of education.

Public, Private Power Prompts Editorials KSL Editorial Says Public Avoids Taxes Utah Power and Light Companys efforts to secure hydroelectric power for all the people of Utah has resurrected the battle between low-pric- ed private power and public Public power companies are owned by taxpayers, and so they have no tax obligation to federal, state, or local governments. They pay no property tax and no income tax. power. OF COURSE, private power includes those companies such as UP&L, which are owned by stockholders. Private com- panies pay taxes to federal, slate, and local governments on property and income, and stockholders pay taxes on their income. Private utility rates are set by the Public Service Commission. THE TAXES they do not pay are added to the tax obligations of private power companies and their customers. And the state Public Service Commission has no control over public power rates. Half a century ago. the lic power companies pub- con- vinced Washington they should have preference for power generated at federal dam sites. That meant public power was given a virtual monopoly over inexpensive federal power, while private companies had to generate their own needs. UTAH POWER and Light contends that private power customers have as much right s public power customers to electricity from federal dams. KSL believes the Company's argument makes sense. Customers of private power pay more taxes than customers of public power. Both are entitled to the benefits of public investments. Public Power Officials Says Profits Return To People I'm Carolyn McNiel, general manager of the Intermountain Consumer Power Agency, KSL recently supported Utah power and Light' efforts to secure hydroelectric power from federal dams on the Colorado River, but it overlooked two important facts: AS A privately owned company, Utah Power and Light is obligated to make a profit and return dividends to its stockholders. Public power companies. on the other hand, are, owned by our consumers. We needn't make a profit at their expense; our sole obliga tion is to keep our rates as low as possible. This is the only competitive advantage public power companies hold over private utilities and it is the only reason our rates have been historically lower. IT IS now, as KSL suggests, because we do not pay taxes. Public power companies pay fees in lieu of ad valorem taxes; we pay sales and use taxes. Rural electric associations also pay property taxes and the Intermountain Power Project must pay gross re- ceipts tax. The numerous lax write-of- f available to Utah Power and Light resulted in the company paying only $21,000 in federal taxes on net income of $190 million in 1982-- or only 1100 of one percent of net income. FURTHERMORE, Utah Power and Light is not dented access to low cost federal hydro power. The utility takes millions of killowatt hours per year from the federally generated Bonneville Power Administration in the Northwest. Public power companies contracted for hydroelectric power from the federal government 20 years ago when it would have been cheaper for us to build our own coal-fire- d plants or even buy electricity from Utah Power and Light. But knowing that we were making an investment in our future, we have paid market rates for our power and returned the investment plus interest to the federal government. IT IS not tax advantages nor low cost power that allows public power to out perform Utah Power and Light on rates, since these two factors benefit both of us. Our advantage is our ownership struc-ture-o- ur consumers own and control their utility. |
