Association will of the g sponsor an extremely and timely program. Dr. Ellsworth E. Weaver of the University of Utah's political science department will be here to outline the proposed Metropolitan Area Government and to explain the Constitutional Amendment it would necessitate. We believe it is the duty of every adult and outside it, for in the community to attend this meeting. This that matter is a matter which is moving rapidly along and will, before we know it, be confronting us in the form of a proposal in answer to which we will be asked to say "yes" or "no." This newspaper has battled strenuously against the consolidation plan. We believe it is not in the best interests of any incorporated city in the Salt Lake valley. We doubt that everything which this plan will entail has yet come to light. We arc convinced adoption of the Metro plan is virtual relinquishment of our control in matters of government. But there is no editor whose thoughts are not, for one reason or another, biased. He who says his are not is telling only part of the story, for a multitude of things en J. along. er best-inform- M. Cornwell, Editor It is our thinking that Murray, Sandy, South Salt Lake and Midvale, in particular, have everything to lose and nothingto gain by such a move. Yet we think we owe it to ourselves in making a decision to attend this meeting and to hear Dr. Weaver's proposal. He is, without question, the "father" of this scheme, its chief proponent and its thought-provokin- Thursday, January 24, 1957 Page 2 (UTAH) EAGLE R. R.

We should put that date down as a "must," too. Just as the Metro- Government advocates folitan points in their favor, those in opposition have too. To hear one voice and not the other is to have a biased opinion. We cannot urge too strongly that people in Murray and other areas which are included in the proposal make a special effort to attend. This scheme will involve your property, your home, your school system, your town. If you have any interest whatever in the manner by which you are governed and only a thoughtless citizen has no such interestyou should by all means be dustries. Each labor union, asks for, and receives more pay andor less hours. With prices taking a round of increases, it's not long before every business is affected. Soon the steel worker's wage increase means nothing because the cost of living has jumped. All this is elementary economics. Everyone realizes it. But no one can do anything about it, apparently. Is it because no one knows what constitutes a basic living anymore? It is because manufacturers are making their products so alluring on the market that the sales resistance of the American public is at low ebb and their "eyes are bigger than their stomachs", so to speak? Perhaps it's a combination of these things. At any rate, whatever the solution, there is cause for alarm everywhere. Cost of living, salaries and prices have climbed since 1946 to a point far beyond the wildest imagination of economists of ten years ago. There is no sign of levelling off. Yet one doesn't have to have a crystal ball to realize there must be a levelling-of- f point. pay-envelo- pe e;o-I- With every phase of the thing stretched out of shape, something is going to give somewhere. One Washington observer said it this way the other day: "Real budget trouble is ahead. Debt will' be up. Public works will increase. Tight money and higher interest rates will prevail in order to stop inflation. But nonetheless, will continue." Which is a nice way of saying we'd best all watch our step's during the year to come, hoping labor and management can arrive at a sensible solution to" problems which affect everyone. ng Sustained to serve as the Priesthood chorister and organist of the 13th ward, are Glen Todd and David Todd, respectively.

NEXT Thoughts About The National Economy Despite the bright picture being painted by economists on the national scene, there is much apprehension in Washington about the continuing inflationary trend throughout this country. Tight money is the result of an effort to control inflation. But while it may prove effective, it would be not nearly so intelligent in the long run as a freeze of wages and prices. That sort of talk, of course, antagonizes labor leaders and their organization members. But when one thinks through the trend, it's as much for the good of the working man as for anyone else. Consider the effect of a wholesale increase in wages of the steel industry, for example. The working man is thrilled to death. His will be fatter and he'll be able to enjoy a few more luxuries. Perhaps pay off some pressing debts. Maybe buy a new car. The steel industry is a big one. Its corporations arc controlled by stockholders. They've invested their money because they want it to make more money for them. They'll not tolerate reduced profits, which are the result of wage increases. So the price of steel climbs. What industry docs the steel increase affect? Automobiles, for one. All types Construction. of appliances. Heavy Take from there. Everything it equipment. made of steel is going to cost more to produce. Is the manufacturer of these items to cut his profits? Of course not. tie, too, is controlled by stockholders. Up goes the price of these products.
