Show Pape Ten The Eureka Reporter October 29, 1982 U Proposition One, bad idea An increase of 2,500 more unemployed Utahns during September is further evidence that Proposition One is a bad idea, according to Citizens to Save Utah Jobs. The group has been organized to urge defeat of Proposition One, which will appear on the Utah ballot mi election day. Proposition One would amend the tax article of the Utah Constitution. It would not lower residential property tax, but it would increase property taxes paid by Utah businesses by an immediate 25 percent and an additional 20 percent at some future date. "It takes little imagination to realize what would happen to these already record unemployment figures if you add to business expenses an additional 25 percent in property taxes," said Dale Zabriskie, executive director Citizens to Save Utah Jobs. of "Not only would Proposition One here, but it signal to those considering expansion into Utah. Many will think twice before coming to a state that penalizes business with higher tax levels than other property. This will impede our recovery by reducing the number of new jobs available. Zabriskie said 19 different groups and associations are represented by Citizens to Save Utah Jobs, and all are concerned about the negative impact of Proposition One on jobs within the state. "However, one group particularly concerned is the Utah Council of Small Business because of the special impact Proposition One will have on small businesses. "We urge our elected officials to concentrate more on cutting spending and less on how to raise taxes, Zabriskie said. hurt businesses-alreadis an anti-busine- Med Center seeks volunteers for hot flash study y ss The effectiveness of various hormones in treating hot flashes is being studied by University of Utah Medical Center researchers and an important spinoff of the study may provide new information about a osteoporosis, preventing condition. bone degenerative About two thirds of menopausal women suffer from hot flashes, a sudden sensation of warmth in the chest, shoulders, neck and head that often leads to sweating.
