JARRETT Extension Agriculture Engineer Utah State University Fuel conservation, or the lack of it, is the big news these days. The news media and farmers are concerned with surplus of farm products and the shortage of fossil fuel needed for the internal combustion engines. As a result, many people are looking for alternative fuels or ways to stretch present supplies. ONE RENEWABLE energy for source that could ease the fossil fuel situation is alcohol or 0 gasohol- -a mixture of by volume. The problem is, how can this new product be used?

At the same time that Utahs share of the Federal grant distributions has been declining, the taxes required to finance such Federal aid allocations have been rising. finance such programs. THIS WAS the main conclusion reached by Utah 1965 and 1978. During, this period, Federal aid to Utah rose by 318 percent, but the increase was only slightly more than half the national Federal aid growth of 614 percent. part, the states with the greatest FOR THE most increases in Federal aid were also states with per capita incomes. According to the Foundation study, there has been a trend during recent years of awarding Federal aid on a project basis rather than by a higher-than-avera- set formula. Such project grants have complicated the administrative machinery and have added uncertainty to the budget process of state and local units. - THIS SYSTEM also tends to favor the larger states and cities at the expense of the smaller units which do not have the financial, technical and lobbying resources to States average.

UTAHS SHARE of the Federal tax burden required to pay for these grant programs rose from 0.42 percent in 1965 to an estimated 0.48 percent in 1978. As a result, Utah which received back more than $2 for each dollar in taxes paid to finance these grant programs in 1965, now finds that this advantage has been reduced to $1.16 in Federal grants for each $1 in taxes by 1978. Even though Utah still gets back slightly more in Federal aid than it pays in Federal taxes to support those aid Foundation programs, researchers note that it is doubtful that this represents a net gain for the state.
