' (D-Va- (R-N.H- .) .), - . ir Governor George D. Clyde in an address to a joint session of Utah's Legislators Warned that they must face three major financial problems during the 1957 session pay hikes for state employes, public school financing and state building needs. Citing these items as 'the major areas of unusual expense, Gov. Clyde also called upon the Legislators to revamp two state departments and asked authority to create two new agencies. Gov. Clyde touched on two ma jor issues taxation and education only briefly, promising the law makers he would go into detail on these subjects in later special messages. Initially, the governor, outlining his first legislative program since his election to office, asked the Legslators to consider finding rev enue to hike state employe pay scales, on the basis of merit, particularly for qualified, technical- ly trained personnel. He asked the Legislators to study the problem of education financing, not only salary in creases to teachers but needs for more classroom space and better supplies and equipment. He also stressed the tremendous building needs of the state for the next six years before deciding how state funds should be allocated for other purposes. In his message the governor launched his own "pet program" governmental reorganization by calling upon the Republican- dominated Legislature to adopt a program to reorganize the State Highway Commission, Separate the present State Building Board from the Highway Commission and create a separate State Build ing Authority, remove the State Land Board from jurisdiction of the State Finance Commission and Redefine basic functions of the State Finance Commission. - tan getter iill To (R-Utah- ). pin-pointi- ng . present-ly-avaliabl- g.

At the other extreme, 462,442 farms in Class 6 produced crops sold in amounts ranging from $250 to $1,199." The Utah Senator noted that "depending upon the annual shifts of the number of farms in each of these economic classes, Con gress should be able to develop more appropriate public agricult ural programs. Such information would help the Congress decide whether, more or less emphasis needs to be put on price support programs, or whether more em phasis needs to be put on or short-tercredit or whether reseach and extension activities directed toward small sized farms ought to be in creased, et cetera." The measure, introduced in the 84th Congress as S. 3145, has been given a favorable report by the Department of Agriculture. The measure, passed the Senate June 11, 1956, but action was not taken in House committee. The bill, worded similarly to the 84th Congress measures, di rects that the Secretary of Com merce shall collect annually y money and income data relating to per capita and family farm income by economic class of farm. so-call- long-intermedia- m non-mone- BOURBON YOU CAN STAY WITH Here's Bourbon as mild and light and free from Farm Income Data Farm-Incom- THE LIGHT te bite as the most expensive imported Scotch and Canadian whiskies -- yet with a magnificent flavor h Bourbon! found only in fine Kentucky Sour-Mas- Switch to this Light Straight Bourbon -- it's kind of whiskey.
