He also cited their mistaken opinion that eee a few politicians have a corner on the wisdom market and that a hundred thouaand citizens who have aigned petition! do not know what is good few them.- On the other hand, the Tax. payers for Utah cite a long list of individuals and "heavyweight organisations that support their opposing stand to the initiatives. Many of the organisations joining the efforts to defeat the initiatives normally dont work together or commonly hold con ' flicting viewpoints about other issues, according to TFU. Some of .those organisations who have come out strong against the initiatives include: Utah Farm Bureau Federation; Utah State Chamber of Commerce; AFLrCIO; Utah Education Association; Utah Peace Officer Association; Utah League of Cities and Towns; The Utah State PTA, as well as dozens of other education, law enforcement and governmental groups and individuals. UTA spokesman Olson said that almost all the groups and individuals listed by the TFU group as opposing the initiatives either directly or indirectly benefit from higher taxes and more government control. Olson also said that he was upset that former government officials such as Matheson and Bennett would chastise tax protesters for not working within the system, and undermining legislative authority. Isn't it the legislature that has ignored the will of an over whelming majority of Utahns who support tax limitation? Olson questioned. He said that when the rights of citizens are ignored by officials, the citizens have the right and duty to change the laws directly through the petition process. He stated that many politicians and bureaucrats seem to have forgotten that the people hold all the power and not the other way around. The UTA supports the Peoples Tax and Spending Limitation Amendment, but has no position on the tax rollback and tuition tax credit measures. Speaking for ITU, Scott Matheson said that about an impact of $349 million would be felt in losses to revenues from the initiatives, with $49 million of that coming from counties, $29 from cities and towns and $ 18.2 million from special districts. Education and Social Services would suffer the worst cuts according to TFU, hurting many essential programs, according to Matheson. Matheson commented that supporters of the initiatives have repeatedly refused to say how much the initiatives will cut the state and local revenues, but condemn the TEXTs figures as Scare tactics". He wondered how they can shoot down the TFlTs figures .if the initiative supporters don't know where or how cuts would be made themselves. Matheson reported that the TFU figures and projections come from "independent studies made by the State Tax Commission, Salt Lake Area Chamber of Commerce and noted economists for local banking institutions... Recently those figures have come under scrutiny by the UTA and individuals such as Merrill Over 70 family members were there to enjoy the occasion. Saturday a barbecue beef dinner waa enjoyed.

Cook, who support the contention that tha Tax Commission has de- liberately exaggerated" and overestimated the figures. The Tax Commission claims that the Property Tax and Spending Limitation initiative would cut property taxes by $176 million or 24.

Nielson also wants the fending for the project done in a fair way, not to overburden the areas or putting it on public power com' panies alone.

Nielson's bill for the Basin water projects, entitled the Uintah Basin Project bill, calls for the two water storage facilities, some rehabilitationconstruction and an economic development fluid in lieu of other projects. The bill would be in conjunction with and cooperation with the tribe's efforts on behalf of the water deferral agreement, but would have protective language in it to guard the water use rights ofboth tribal and non tribal Baainresidenta. The fact that the Ute Tribe mil -- has solidified its position and that residents of tribal and the Basin are puttingout efforts in a "unified front will add emphasis to Nielsons bill, according to the non-trib- al congressman and local officials, such as Alarik Myrin, from the statesenate. Nielson hopes to have his Basin project bill up for hearings before the year is out and action taken on it in the new session next January.
