To these critics, millions of U.S. business proprietors and entrepreneurs are neither fish nor fowl. To them the question is not whether the tax plan helps the economy but simply another replay of the favorite old Washington political game of using the tax system to redistribute income. All they want to debate is whether the rich will get more than the poor. Of course, the poor pay little or no taxes under our system of anti-inflati- higher - -, - or progressively income tax rates. But graduated that is beside the point, to those critics, as is the fact that fully three percent of all those This point has been emphasized by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. which represents more than 112,000 businesses-8- 5 percent of them employing fewer than 100 persons. The Chamber has officially endorsed the full Reagan package, which in many respects is similar to Let's' Rebuild, America,, an economic recovery program unveiled by the Chamber a year ago. Dr. Richard L. Lesher, president of the U.S. Chamber, believes that the tax reduction slated for small businesses that pay taxes as individuals .is .one of the compelling arguments" in favor of the Reagan plan for a cross-theone board cuts in tax rates-a- nd that is totally ignored." He adds: The. overwhelming majorify of' 14 million firms in America arc ' unincorporated small businesses . . interviewed in a scientific nationwide survey, when asked whether they would save or spend most of any tax savings, replied they paid no taxes at all. Those who claim they would like to tilt tax savings toward the poor also are not interested in the fact that e groups comprising the bottom 46 percent of U.S. taxpayers pay less than four percent of all income taxes. 30 perThe reductions-totali- ng cent in individual income tax rates over three years--ar- e designed to distribute the savings in approxlower-incom- imately the same pattern, or proportion, as people pay their personal income taxes. Thus income groups paying the bulk of the tax will receive the largest share of the tax reductions. In turn, their savings will enable them along with business, to save and invest in the creation of new jobs and improving productivity. But perhaps more importantly, h diversion ignores the the fact that millions of U.S. small businesses, the greatest source of new jobs in our economy, do not pay income taxes as corporations but pay their income taxes as individual taxpayers, and thus will be directly benefited by the Reagan plan. poor-vs-ric- 4-- H - By applying wise technology, some sheep producers in this country are getting $1.50 a pound in the grease for their wool. Lyle G. McNeal, associate professor of animal science for USU, says thats a fantastic price made possible by employing some of the wool handling and merchandising techniques that are common in New Zealand and Australia. McNeal explained that this is high quality skirted wool, segregated according to its quality as it comes off the sheep. The less desirable parts such as the breast, belly, crutchings, tags and face wool are put into separate bags so they dont detract from the desirability of the main part of the fleece. All wool is baled or bagged and labeled according to what part of the sheep it comes from. This represents quite a change from the way wool is marketed ini Utah," McNeal said. post-harve- st 1.

We must allow entrepreneurs to retain a greater share of their earnings to recycle back into their enterprises," he says. In testimony. before-hHouse Ways and Means (Committee Edwin S. Cohen, chairman of the Chambers taxation committee, explained that almost 90 percent of U.S. businesses taxable in 1977 paid taxes at individual rates, and thus should benefit directly from the proposed reduction in rates."

Its part of an attitude that wool is of Iamb just a production. It fosters the idea that getting wool off the sheep and getting rid of it is just an extra ct nuisance." The poor price growers in the state have received for their wool somewhat justifies that attitude, McNeal admits. He says its a standoff at present Wool prices would be up if we had our wool segregated according to its quality as it comes off the sheep before it goes into the bag.

As the wool is bought, it comes into the wool warehouses of the buyers where it is segregated and graded ' and is tested for shrinkage and yield. This situation contributes to income other than that redeved by the growers. Until the market conditions change or we change our' way of marketing the wool, I dont think we are' going to see a mass movement to improve the wool," McNeal commented. "Look to the blending of synthetics and. wool fibers as the market' savior of the wool Industry," McNeal advised. Realize that it requires uniform finer quality .wool to make the blends demanded most by the textile industry today." The breeding, grading, care and merchandising of wool are being taught in the sheep management, wool technology and sheep shearing courses taught at USU. McNeal points out that wool traits are highly heritable so improvement in the. wool clip can be made genetically much faster than improvements' in growth and reproduction. Utah can benefit by being more wool wise. . . thirtieth anniversary this year. The host family is the cornerstone of our efforts to share American life with the rest of the world," said Susan Greene, who heads YFUs domestic program. Several thousand American families volunteer each year to host overseas students who live with them as part of the family and attend local high schools. More than 80,000 students have experienced life in another land, since YFU was founded in 1951. Students come to the U.S. from Asia, Europe, Latin America, and Australia, arriving in July or August and remaining about one year. Some Latin American youngsters come in January and go home in July in order to conform with their own school year. . Woolsten-hulm- e, 336-207- 5. Peoa: Celia Merchant, 5205. Oakley: Bonnie Wilde.

Tax Freedom Day Sunday, May 10, is Mother's Day. But it is also Tax Freedom Day." That is the day on which the typical family could stop paying tax es and start spending its earnings for such mundane things as food, clothing, shelter, transportation, entertainment and savings, if all earnings to date had been used to pay. 1981 taxes, reports the Utah Taxpayers Association. UTA says that Tax Freedom Day is computed annually by the Tax Foundation of Washington, D.C. The date represents how long the average workers would have to labor to finish paying all taxes if every dollar earned from January 1 went directly to satisfy tax obligations "to Federal, state, and local governments.

Yet, until the producers have some advance assurance from the wool buyers that more. money vyill be coming, for wool handled in that way, they see no justification for going to the extra bother.
