Show The Paper That Dares To Take A Stand 1977 Page 8 The Utah Independent November 17, Your Man Democrat leaders have told President Carter he is going to have to spell out in detail what his Administration plans to do with the massive billions in energy taxes that it is designed to produce. Government and private studies indicate that the new wellhead oil tax would produce upward to $160 billion over the next eight years. So, what would By U.S. Senator Orrin G.

The simple fact is that the majority of the tax revenues under the Carter plan will wind up in the federal coffers and quite possibly eventually be used for This situation. ng experience in price wars with foreign steel producers. But even with three decades of experience, Geneva is having Officials its problems. report that as much as 36 percent of the Western states market belong to lower-price- d steel from Japan, Western Europe, Britian, and Third World countries that are dumping their steel at West Coast ports. Particularly social programs. Federal, state, and local government tax collections totaled $3S8 billion during fiscal 1976. The Presidents taxes energy proposed would raise $337 billion in revenues over the next eight years. This is a confiscatory $5,390 for every family. upsetting is the introduction of British steel into Idaho. The U.K. product has traditionally been the least efficiently produced in world production. As pointed out by Utah steel producers, the American industry has been working hard in recent years to meet environmental demands for clean air and water while the dirty" foreign steel nations foreign trade deficit has now gone on for The 15 straight months, and is over $16 billion.

In the same respect, however, steel people perceive the EPA regulations as overly aggressive and possibly the undoing of the American steel business. If the Western steel market were fairly open to Geneva, as it should be, there would be an additional 9,000 jobs available to Utah people. Market1 losses to the Utah steel makers last year alone cost a potential 2,000 jobs and $60 million in growth potential for the Geneva works of U.S. Steel. The steel industry is in a trade, environmental, and business regulation crisis fostered by the federal government. The solution simple long-teris to get the federal government out of the steel industry and give it back to American investors and the free market system. On e the short-terpractices for all steel producers, both foreign and domestic, must be enforced. This could start with a prohibition of the m m, fair-trad- dumping practices of aggressive foreign competitors. The federal with its government, bureaus, agencies, commissions and committees, is strangling what was once considered the finest nation in the world, and the crisis will not go away until the feds get out of the steel business. The bureaucracy is so deeply entrenched it will take innovative legislation to free steel from government grasp and foreign trade steel-produci- ng is equally guilty with the propagator of injurious falsehood. -- Augustine TRY THE OZARK GRAPHIC MONTHLY! 70977' Weve been had American Steel: A Utah Perspective happen to the money?
