Show THURSDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1968 PLEASANT GROVE REViEW, PLEASANT GROVE, UTAH ' THURSDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1968 Committee Launches Campaign For Utah Inventory Tax Repeal are also supporting the move. In explaining the inventory tax, Mr. Brazell called it "a punitive tax on the goods held for resale within Utah." He said it is charged at 26 per cent of the market value of merchandise (inventory) in stock multiplied by the local mill levy on Jan. 1 of each year. It means a penalty tax (on the average) of $26 for each $1,000 worth of inventory. This tax represented only 2 to 3V2 per cent of the state's tax income, or about $3V2 mill-ion. This tax money will be re-placed in three ways, Mr. Brazell noted. 1. The last State Legilature directed the State Tax Com-mission to vigorously enforce the existing taxes on all busi-ness property. This is already underway and is providing in-creased revenue to offset in-come lost from hte Inventory Tax repeal. 2. Additional tax income from natural growth in busi-ness. 3. Additional tax income from increased business en-couraged to locate in Utah by repeal of the inventory tax. This is a vital extension of Freeport. A state-wid- e campaign to re-peal Utah's inventory tax was announced this week by S. C. (Chris) Johnson , chairman of the Help Utah Grow Commit-tee which is boosting the effort "To meet the programs of other competitive states we must phase out our inventory tax" Mr. Johnson said in an-nouncing the campaign plans. "Surrounding states have no enforced inventory tax and this makes them more attract-ive to new business. That is the reason a 'yes' vote on Consti-tutional Amendment No. 3 will be vital this November," the Salt Lake City businessmen said. Mr. Johnson said "a 'yes' vote will be a matter of sur-vival and growth for the state. "Utah began moving ahead when Freeport was approved by the voters a few years .go. Now Freeport must be extend-ed if we are to remn com-petitive with our neighboring slates." Vera Braze)',, executive vice chairman or Help Utah Grow, noted replacement revenue is available if the inventiory tax is phased out. "The State Tax Commission audits have clearly established that replacement revenue is available. This means a 'yes' vote on Amendment 3 will be a boost to the entire state. The replacement funds will come from other business taxes." Mr. Brazell continued: "We have gained great acceptance on the amendment change be-cause of two major items: 1) the replacement revenue is available, and 2) there is no cost to the indidividual tax-payer. It is a business tax now and it will continue to be. The phase out of the inventory tax and the shouldering of the tax load by equipment and fixtures tax will take place in an order-ly fashion as ordered by the State Legislature." Mr. Brazell noted the 1968 state party platforms for Re-publicans and Democrats in' elude endorsements in favor of the amendment. Gov. Calvin L. Rampton and Carl W.

All of these aras are closed to hunting after the Wednes-ay,d- , October 23 date. Officers of the Division of Fish and Game will be making frequent checks of the area after the early closing.

The Oak City Unit is that area in Millard and Juab Counties west of Highway 91; south of the Sevier River; east of Highway 6 and north of the Delta-Holde- n Road.

Orem (Pd. pol. adv. by Harley Gillman) Football: As viewed by the suppliers - ' '''v" Canning the ball for KCC It's a great team - they've got everything. Talent, and numerous specialists. And they can deliver the goods whenever the occasion calls for it. As in past years, they make KCC a heavy favorite in the Copper Bowl competition. Take Proler, Boyles or May. They're real pros, and they know the value of teamwork. Prospects for next season look good, too, with Linde, the rookie, developing fast. Here's the rundown on just four of the many great players on this team: "Digger" Boyles, from Boyles Bros. Drilling Company, consistently has developed more holes in that open pit stadium than you can imagine. "Scrappy" Proler, from Proler Steel Corporation, has been carrying the heavy load. He supplies the muscle to break through the hard rock precipitate defense. "Castiron" May, from May Foundry & Machinery Company, is great when the patterns call for crushing, grinding and reducing the opposition to pulp. '0xy" Linde, from the Linde farm club of Union Carbide Corporation, is being groomed to supply the smelter gas house gang with more and faster conversions. With such talent, KCC should go far, particularly when you figure the reserves who can supply most anything at any time.

In fact, there are more than 1500 vendors who sell supplies and services to the Utah Copper Division for many millions of dollars annually, an important factor in the over-al- l economy of the state.
