WASHINGTON, attlemen and others -C- who favor productive use of public lands "live in a hostile U.S. political environment, Senator Jake Gam warned the Annual (R-Uta- vention of the Utah ConCat- tlemen's Association. In prepared remarks, Utahs senior senator noted the that Carter is full of Administration individuals who do not understand the pressures that face cattlemen and producers in general, and who are dedicated to the proposition that productive use of the public lands is destructive of nigher values. As an example of the bias that anti-produc- infects the federal establishment, the senator cited the fact that Congress in 1976 explicitly required that grazing permits be for 10 years, except for exinstances traordinary where shorter leases might be in the national interest. The Secretary of Interior turned Congress intent on its head, issuing only one-yeleases because they Read and use the classified ads $2 a week $6 a month were ostensibly in the national interest, Garn noted The senator said new grazing fee ligislation passed this year will restore the original intent of Congress, but we need to remain forwarned and vigilant against bureaucratic at- tempts to dodge the will of Congress. Commenting further on grazing fees, Garn said the new legislation is generally favorable to cattle growers but he also urged caution For the first time, he said, the fee system will be tied to price indexes, so that the costs of production will be taken into account m setting fees. In the past, upward pressure of fees in the face of falling prices has crushed the growers between two millstones, making for an erratic market certain supplies. and un- MSkiBnravssgioaM J r o O bureaucrats in n V ji call market value - fair The SALT LAKE CITY Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978, passed by Congress and signed into law by President Carter, takes effect Dec. 1. The cost of nearly all natural gas purchased by for public grazing lands remains as strong as ever. Comparing the values of public and private range as a basis for establishing grazing fees is impossible, but the Interior Department and the Forest Service rarely seem able to grasp that point. he said, Consequently, I predict further tension and disagreement between your interest and those of the federal bureaucrats, he said.

The company was the only Utah organization to work for defeat of the bill. The increase will amount increase for to a 6.08 percent the typical residential customer. That customers bill will rise about $1.50 per month. Any specific customers increase will depend upon actual gas usage. The application points out that the new legislation from allows suppliers whome Mountain Fuel purchases gas to raise their rates on a monthly basis, with the increases in most cases tied to inflation. Recognizing that monthly applications for increases overtax both the companys and the commissions administrative abilities, the will application companys recommends a solution to this problem. Mountain Fuel suggests the Public Service Commission adopt a procedure long employed by the Federal Power Commission and its the successor, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, to minimize this impact. Under this procedure the company would anticipate filing from rate two to four increase applications per year instead of 12 All inpass-throug- h creases would still be the subject of public hearings before finally approved, as has been the case in the past Mountain Fuel stressed in the application it seeks to recover only the increase in the cost of purchased gas, and does not seek to add to or enhance its operating or net profit whatsoever. The company also explained to the commission the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978 is so complex and in some ways confusing, there are bound to be disputes between and producers buyers as to which Federally mandated price should apply. Mountain Fuel said ti would, as it has in the past, endeavor to pay only those prices to which the company feels a producer is entitled us. o HalrCreationi' Kt BARBER - STYLISTS LAYERED CUTS - SHORT OR LONG REGULAR HAIR CUTS - FLAT TOPS BEARD & MOUSTACHE TRIM PERMANENT WAVING RK HAIR RECONDITIONING oeceov C?a3uGZK? tv increases on that date.
