Grazing Fee Increase May Effect Kane County Tax Base UTAH OF KANE COUNTY, Brown, Publisher and Editor Published every Thursday at Kanab, Utah There has been much said in the past three weeks about the effects of the grazing fee increase and also about President Johnsons proclamation designating new lands for National Monuments. Stockmen in the Western States, and particularly in Utah are extremely unhappy about these events. Economists both inside and outside of the federal agencies appear to agree that livestock men whose cattle graze the public ranges are already paying the full value of the forage last-minut- Subscriptions: $4.00 per year, $2.50 for six months matter October 6, 1944 at the post in office Kanab, Utah, under the Act of March 3, 1879.

Many KEEP YOUR COOL, MAN Not everyone reads Ann Landers Advice on almost Everything column, but once in awhile some great ideas are found there that would do us all some good. In a recent column of hers a mother was bemoaning the fact that her husband was in no hurry to explain the facts of life to their son. Miss Landers answer was, If a child doesnt learn the facts of life at his mothers knee early in life, hell learn it later on at some other joint. It is a big responsibility to rear children and each parent cannot sensibly take this task lightly. It is easy for one to sit back and tell others how to rear their children and how to act themselves. But in another Landers column re re some thoughts that would be good for all parents thoughts apparently given by a youngster. Here they are: (1) Keep your cool. Kids need the confidence that only a steady hand and a settled soul can offer. (2) Dont get hung up on activities that keep you too busy to establish good communications with your children. Fathers should set aside time for family life. Mothers should be at home to supervise their children. (3) Dont get strung out. Stay away from liquor and pills. (4) Bug us a little. Use strict but loving discipline. Show us you are wise and strong enough to be boss. (5) Dont blow your class. Keep the dignity of parenthood. Dont try to dress and act like teen-agerKids need to know their parents are adults. (6) Light us a candle. Show us the way to faith. Be an example of faith at work. (7) Take the world off our shoulders. Talk to us about morals, love, life, eternity, peace of mind, and values. Let us know we can count on you When things get up tight. (8) Scare the hell out of us. When you catch a child in his first encounter with wrong, punish him. Be sure he understands what he has done wrong and why it is wrong. Let him know you are punishing him because you love him and are concerned about him, not because you want to get even. (9) Call our bluff. Stand firm and dont let us con you. (10) Be honest with us. Tell your children the truth. Be generous in praise. When it come3 time to criticize your child, he will then believe you and respect your judgment. Monday night at Kanab High School PTA a film on narcotics was shown to a small group of parents and teachers, which very vividly illustrated what can happen when a youngster needs help and there was no one there to assist him. Narcotics is becoming an increasingly menacing problem. And as was pointed out by Sgt. Julian Fox at PTA, it is not usually a problem of adults. That is adults do not usually start using the poison at this time in their life, but it is a serious problem among teen-ag- e and college-ag- e youth. It was pointed out that 78 percent of heavy narcotic users start by using marijuana, which is not conbut almost always sidered by many as leads to the use of stronger drugs. One very sad thing among us is that some prominent people, even educational leaders, say that marijuana is no worse than alcohol, and that it should be legalized. According to law enforcement officers at Mondays PTA, and if rumors have any fact, the problem of narcotics is not so far removed from our area. If this is the case, we each need to check ourselves, and see what we can do to prevent any sad occurances. Those attending PTA were told that of parents with law enforcement officials is important. Pass on any information to the proper officers, and stop any trouble before it gets started. A most important thing for each of us is to look to our own home situation, and make sure things are ... s. habit-formin- g, feel that the a windfall are grazing permits to livestock men. The Utah Farm Bureau argues that this is not so, but that the permits are accumulations of investment equities. These equities date back to the original settlers. The pioneer settlers homesteaded lands on the valley floor or at the watering locations and were offered as an incentive free grazing of their livestock on the public lands. The railroads were given incentive of every other section of land 20 miles on each side of The mining inthe dustry was given incentives to encourage discovery and development of mining. This incentive policy was the basis on which pioneers were compensated for the unusual risks and hazards which they encountered in settling these western lands. Nor does the Farm Bureau feel the grazing permits are a windfall to current livestock operators, for it is estimated that 95 of all grazing permits that exist today were purchased the price paid being compensation to previous owners for their accumulated Investments in the public lands. The Forest Service contracted with the Utah State University to project the potential effects of various schedule proposals. To help readers of the SUN understand better these actions, and because the fee hikes may effects to bring this area, we are summarizing here some of that projected report, by Dr. Darwin Nielsen. Dr. Nielsens study indicated it would increase range operators costs in the State of Utah by $835,000 ahnually. This income loss will cause a decrease In expendable Income, particularly in family budgets. This will create an especially difficult hardship for small ers. This increased cost will forte this group of ranchers out ot business, which will increase the budget problems for rural ranch communities and the families who remain In the rural area. A second effect will be that as cattle are priced off the public lands, there will be increased pressure on private lands, which will eventually increase this cost of operation. One of the most serious effects of a grazing fee increase as high as proposed is that it will decapitalize the value of grazing permits to zero. Dr. Neilsens study shows this would wipe out $33 million dollars in the State of Utah. He also projected this would decapitalize $165 million dollars of grazing permit values for users of BLM lands and $178 million dollars of permit values for users of forest lands, for a total of $343 million dollars. An indication of the serious people right-of-wa- g ness of this proposal to the financial status of this industry is that the district offices of the Federal Land Bank at Berkeley, Spokane and Omaha have unanimously gone on record in opposition to the proposed fee increase. One of the most important products of Dr. Nielsons study was that it showed the potential loss of income and employment which rural communities and state economies would experience if the net expendable income of ranchers were reduced. His study shows that if ranchers spendable income were reduced by $835,000 it would cause rural economies of the State of Utah to show a minimum loss of income of Mrs. Colleen Jolly is here spending some time with her mother, Mrs. Manda MacDonald who was operated on a couple of weeks ago. Colleen plans to take her back to California with her. Kanab News Notes Mr. and Mrs. Jim Bunting are taking their daughter Susan to the Doctor in Ogden. Mrs. Pauline Applegate is riding with them as far as Provo to visit her son Mike and wife. by Nan E. Johnson Primary preparation meeting was held Monday night in the ward chapel with many Primary workers attending. Mr. and Mrs. Loyd Heyborne were in Salt Lake City several days this week on business. Mrs. LaMar DeMille and daughter, Peggy, were hospitalized several days for tests at the Page Hospital. Stake Primary visitors at Primary Wednesday were Sister Sharon Bunting and Sister Lou Vaughn. Leo Crofts rf Panguitc'n visited at the J. E. Crofts home Wednesday evening. The Singing Mothers, under the direction of Sister Lorene C Russell met Wednesday night for practice. A baby shower for Mera Hoyt was held Wednesday evening at s the Norma Penney home. new son received many useful and pretty gifts and an evening of visiting and sewing was enjoyed. Mrs. Sessie Clark has gone north for medical care and to visit with the Merrill Clarks. Ad-di- e The study shows that the proposed increase will force the small operators out of the rural community. With the increased costs of operation, the middle class and larger economic units will also face the problem of reducing costs which will place a direct force towards reduced employment in the rural areas. The proposed fee increases will lower net income for operators, which means it will spend less in the rural communities. (Editors note: We cannot understanding the thinking of the agencies responsible for this fee hike. A couple of years ago the Four Corners Commission was organized in this area designed to bring economic stability to otherwise depressed areas. This appears to be an effort to take money out of the area in order to put money into the area. The fee increase Is contrary to the objectives of the Rural Area Development Programs, and will not only reduce economic activity in rural America but may wipe out family savings from a lifetime of work of many of the present generation of ranchers. Many of the small operators will be forced out of the livestock business and will seek employment in the cities, which is contrary to the emphasis to stay in the rural areas. The added expense for the grazing fees would put the rancher in a less favorable position to give public lands the management attention they need, thus placing this responsibility back in the hands of government agencies, supported by public taxes . . . and thats all we need is more taxes.) Tail's Tales by Val C. Tait Ive heard more than one of my city sisters exclaim over a newborn calf being warmed in the kitchen. Im going to say a word right here to those gals. A newborn calf, half frozen, would look most awful queer in your city kitchen. But if you lived down on the farm and those newborn calves meant your next years taxes, shoes for the family, and perhaps the last installment on your hubbys new store teeth, youd not be so squeamish. difference between Russias Vodka and our American drinks is that ours make you say yes to all propositions.
