Show Thursday, October 30, 1980 Uintah Danin Standard Utah Farm Bureau states positions on proposals Utah Farm Bureau Federation policy, adopted by Ha voting delegates, favors two and opposes two of the aix propositions on the ballot in November, according to UFBF President Frank 0. NishiguchL Policy is mixed in another proposition, and there policy on the other. Farm Bureau policy favors Proposition 1,. the executive article revision. We're especially anxious to see a procedure adopted which will allow the legislature to call itself back into session to consider bills vetoed by the governor, Nishigushi commented. He referred to the right to farm" bill (prohibiting nuisance suits) which passed both houses overwhelmingly in the last legislative session but which was vetoed by Gov. Matheson after the session ended. "There may be farmers forced to move before that measure is passed into law that wouldnt have had to, if the last legislature could have come back to override the veto, he pointed out. Proposition 2, .the revenue and taxation ' article revision, has some elements favored by Farm Bureau policy and some opposed by UFBF. "For instance, we strongly favor, removal ; of property taxes from livestock, he said. "livestock are an inventory, and other businessmen are exempt from paying property tax on their inventories. For another thing, it costs more to collect the tax than it yields; many county assessors favor removal of the.tax for that reason. But Farm Bureau members have expressed opposition to some kinds of revenue sharing, which Proposition 2 treats.. No Farm Bureau policy exists on the labor article revision. Proposition 8 on the ballot. It deals with women working in underground mines and with convicts working outside of the prison if they consent Utah farmers and ranchers strongly favor an increase in compensation of legislators, the subject of Proposition is-n- , . . said. "We have a deep hope that our state legislature does not become a legislature of the wealthy and the subsidized. One way to help avoid this is to set the salary and expenses of legislators at a level more in line with today's 4, Nishigushi concern and inflationary costa. Pointing out that farmers and ranchers strongly oppose the removal of sales tax on food, Nishiguchi said, "We feel every dtisen of the state should help pay the expenses of government. Sans tax contribution some citizens cost of government, and tax should be left on. is the only make to the we feel this Where low income requires financial help, we have established agencies to handle those cases. So we recommend that Utahns vote against Initiative Propo sal A." Proposal B, the tax limitation act, is opposed by Farm Bureau, although its policy has long favored responsible constitutional tax limitation tied to reduction of government spending. "This proposal is statutory, not constitutional," Nishiguchi "and since it states no goal of changing the state constitution, we oppose Proposal B." The farm leader said, "There is also .some concern that Proposal B could actually increase property taxes on some property, and that passage of the Proposal as written, could jeopardize the Utah school system. The UFBF president called on all farmers and ranchers in the state to vote Nov. 4, as an exercise of their rights and obligations of citizenship.
