Carter promises to ease taxes
By FRANK CORMIER
WASHINGTON—President Jimmy Carter held out the promise of income tax cuts for 98 percent of the nation's taxpayers last night in a State of the Union message that chided Congress for an energy deadlock he said was becoming intolerable.
His first address on the State of the Union produced no major surprises, nor did the separate 50-page written catalog of addresses presented to the recovered 91st Congress.
Carter
Although saying the United States faced no overwhelming crisis, Carter told the curtain-raising session of the 1978 Congress that, nevertheless, "profound national interests are at stake," notably in the realm of the economy.
After first again appealing for enactment of his stalled energy program, Carter sketched in broad outline a forthcoming proposal to revise and simplify the tax laws and at the same time reduce the tax burden by $25 billion.
"ALMOST $17 BILLION in income tax cuts will go to individuals," he said. "Ninety-six percent of American taxpayers will see their taxes go down. For a typical family of four this will mean an annual saving of more than $260—a tax reduction about 20 percent." The president did not explain what he meant by a typical family of four.
Carter also said he would submit tomorrow a plan to cut federal excise taxes by $2 billion, which he said would reduce the rate of inflation. In addition, he asked for "strong additional incentives for business investment through substantial cuts in
corporate tax rates and improvements in the investment tax credit."
CARTER ALSO MADE a strong pitch for civil service reform and said he would call for the creation of a separate Department of Education.
Tax relief, tuition breaks among new bill proposals

TOPEKA-Bills to regulate massage parliers and bathhouses, to give low income farmers tax relief, and to provide tuition breaks at Pittsburgh State University were among those filed yesterday in the Kansas House of Representatives and Senate.
Rep. Deny Burgess, R-Warmgo, the principal sponsor of a bill to provide relief of up $400 from the personal property tax for low-income farmers or ranchers. Burgess said the measure would soften the impact of lower farm prices were disastrously low farm productprices.
Another bill aimed at helping farmers was introduced in the Senate by Sens. Fred Kerr, R-Coats, and Charlie Angell, R-Plains. The machinery from the state 3 percent sales tax.
A bill sponsored by Rep. Niles Niles, D-Deleo, would require a $500年ley license for bathhouses and massage parlors. Under the bill, owners, operators and attendants would have to meet rigorous qualifications. Attendants, for example, would have to complete at least 150 hours of training in human anatomy, physiology and massage
ANOTHER NEW BILL introduced in use house would allow up to 100 residents of other states living within 100 miles of Pittsburgh to enter the University. University will provide residence fees.

Sens. John Simpson, R-Salina, and John Vermillion, R-Independence, introduced legislation to expand homeestead property tax relief by raising the income limit and allowing those with dependent children to be eligible for benefits more than 60 years old, or 50 years old in the case of women, and have an income less of $8,100.
In other House action yesterday, a bill was passed to reimpose the death penalty. It now will be forwarded to the Senate, where it faces an uncertain future.
THE SENATE yesterday tentatively approved extending a tax credit bill that gives tax breaks to employers who build or expand their firms in the state. The Job Expansion and Investment Credit Act of 1976 was due to expire Jan. 1, 1978, but under the Senate bill it would be extended until Jan. 1, 1983.
The measure is designed to encourage industrial growth in the state and gives employers a $5 tax credit for every $100,000 they spend in building or expanding their
Also in Topeka, State Fire Marshal Floyd Dibber insured lawmakers to outlaw bottle rockets. He said they caused thousands of injuries in damage and scores of injuries last year.
In addition, he said, he was asking for a substantial increase in funds in public jobs for youth and a doubling of public service employment programs.
Carter said he was proposing a new program to encourage businesses to hire young and disadvantaged Americans who need skills and opportunity.
Carter gave no figures for these activities, nor did he say much about his forthcoming federal budget except to describe it as "lean and tight."

Taking a generally sanguine view of the economy, Carter cited a decline in inflation and unemployment last year. He said, "We reached our major economic goals for
"It sounds simple. I just recognize the difficulties involved. I know it is not easy for me."
BUT HE SAID more must be done because the trade deficit was too large, inflation was too high and many Americans still did not have a job."
NOTING THAT the country's foreign oil bill is more than $120 million a day, he said,
"This slows our economic growth, lowers the value of the dollar overseas and aggravates unemployment and inflation at home."
what we must do: Increase energy production, cut down on waste and use more of these fuels that are plentiful and more permanent. . .
After adjusting for inflation, he said, the new budget will show an increase of less than 2 percent from current levels—"the federal increase in the federal budget in four years."

CARTER EXPRESSED hope that 1978 would see the successful completion of difficult and prolonged negotiations with the Soviet Union on a new strategic arms limitation treaty. He asked again for Senate ratification of the Panama Canal treaty and promised to press ahead with efforts to promote a Middle East peace.

Panama Canal treaties unrealistic, Reagan says
DENVER (UIP1)—Former California Gov. Ronald Reagan yesterday called the Panama Canal the eighth wonder of the world and said the administration was conducting a campaign of distortion to win congressional approval for a new treaty.
"No one else could have done it," Reagan said. "There has been a distortion of reality and confusion about the treaties which are fatally flawed and ambiguous."
Reagan, heading a bipartisan congressional group known as the "truth squad," said the delegation would travel around the country correcting misconceptions about the terms and effects of the proposed Panama Canal treaties.
UNDER THE PROPOSALS, Panama would have sovereignty over the waterway after the year 2,000, although the U.S. could act militarily to protect the canal's
Calling Carter's effort to win passage of the treaties a "typical Madison Avenue campaign complete with one-night stands and the challenge of a Gann sweep cheers from the audience of 500.
"We bought all of the land to run the canal," he said. "We paid out $163 million. We even purchased land from squatters. We eliminated yellow fever and malaria in our area. We Panama a lower mortality rate than we had in the United States at that time."
"We are giving away a $10 billion investment and we are also paying them to take it off our hands and we are promising not to build another," he said. "If the canal is so useless, then pay them a billion and a half to take it."
