State highway funds should be allocated among categories of highways by state legislatures with appropriate consideration for rural roads. Within each category of highways, funds should be allocated on the basis of need as determined by objective ratings. As the interstate system approaches completion, we urge more emphasis on primary and secondary road improvements. Routes should be chosen to avoid diagonal highways and use of productive agricultural lands where feasible.

We support capital punishment, and the death penalty should s be mandatory upon conviction of first degree murder. Livestock Theft Theft or shooting of livestock is a serious problem. We believe better enforcement of the laws on these crimes is needed and urge law enforcement agencies of the state to lend their efforts in this direction. Stricter enforcement of the brand inspection laws of the state would aid in the apprehension of those engaged in livestock theft. We commend enforcement officers of the Utah State Department of Wildlife Resources for their aid in apprehending livestock thieves. We urge individual livestock owners to cooperate with law enforcement by swearing out complaints against people apprehended in these crimes. We urge livestock people to initiate action by law enforcement agencies to conduct night checks and roadblocks to detect livestock rustling. Further, we recommend law enforcement be improved in all segments, and more public involvement to assist proper law enforcement. organizations as a means of obtaining equitable prices for farm products. We favor promotional activity for agricultural commodities, but we oppose governmental promotion.

Dairy Commission We recommend the law regulating the Utah Dairy Commission be changed to provide the following: 1. Holding an annual meeting in each of the districts of the state for the purpose of presenting a Financial and progress report to the dairymen of the respective districts. 2. Giving the dairvmen at this meet-in- g an opportunity to nominate the We recommend Utah Farm Bureau actively use its influence with the state legislature to obtain funds for Utah State University to further research, education and extension services tor all agricultural needs. We specificallv request cooperative research between the USU experiment station and other state experiment stations and federal agencies to control bean root rot. We recommend the Utah Farm Bureau Federation dairy committee continue its study to find new ways to market milk and new dairy products. We will work with appropriate agencies. We support the Utah State University and private institutions in research efforts to find new dairy products. WELFARE PROGRAMS We recommend the following stand- ards be adopted for welfare programs: 1. Require recipients to work for benefits where able to do so. 2. Carefully review qualifications of welfare recipients. Those who are physically able to work should he required to participate in rehabilitation programs or face losing their welfare assistance. 3.

Disqualify persons unemployed by reason of strikes or w ho refuse to accept employment from receiving welfare payments or food stamps. People who are on stiike should not be included in unemployment statistics. PROBATE CODE We favor amendments to Utah's probate law to simplify and reduce the legal cost of the process by which property is passed from one generation to another. These amendments should allow the transfer of a person's property most nearly how that person would have divided it had he left a will. I he law should also allow the surviving spouse to elect to receive a greater portion ol the estate. In general, therelorc, we support the provision of the proposed uniform probate code for Utah.
