As a treshman legislator, he was named to the House Rules Committee which handles all bills submitted to the legislature. He also served on the Revenue and Taxation Committee. Peterson supports, the constitutional amendments on the ballot, but says he is neutral on the proposal to increase pay for legislators. Im not a candidate for what it pays, but I feel a legislator ought to be able to serve without great sacrifice or only the wealthy will be able to serve, he said. Legislators are currently paid $25 per day, only while the legislature is in session, and that was set in 1968, he said. He said the tax article revision is needed and would give the state more flexibility on taxing, the power to support public education 100 percent and removes the property tax on livestock, which should be done.

Mrs. Reading said she is running for because she feels someone with past experience is needed on the school board. I think were facing some very serious problems that need a continuity of board members who have experience so we can approach the problems with a continuity and solve them. Mrs. Reading is facing Frank G. Brian of Kaysville for the district 3 position on the school board. She is seeking her second term on the board. She has been editor of the Friend Magazine an LDS church publication, for over 18 years and prior to that was a school teacher. As a member of the current board of education, Mrs. Reading worked for the passage of the voted leeway. She said the leeway could be negatively affected if both of the tax initiatives A and B are passed. A lot will depend on whether initiatives A and B pass, if they do the voted leeway will be helpful but it wont meet the needs. She also said Davis County could be hit very hard if these measures pass. Financially, the district is more dependant upon the state than any other district and these initiatives are aimed at reducing state revenue. She said if both of the measures are defeated the board as it has planned will levy some position of the leeway. We would use the money to maintain programs we have, she said. She said that without it the board would have to cut. more programs and personnel. Clearfield.

She said she would consider several alternatives to new construction of faciliaties. Those mentioned included year-roun- d schools, double sessions, and possibly increasing class loads. Of these Mrs. Reading said she would prefer the year round school concept. Mrs. Reading said the school board, both collectively and personally, has received so much critism because of the voted leeway that she feels the people have lost track of what a marvelous district they have.
