Thousands of people peo-ple ride, the, air at any giyen nyjmept,, lif ted over, continent and ocean by airplane, but some hardly feel more exhilaration than from taking a bus ride. Perhaps one must pilot a plane to enjoy the sense of flying as birds fly. Point! vol v four pan An that Rut talra n nrallr in tKa urSntai. countryside r besTde city lakes and ponds.

' '"" Some" 2(M yeari before Leonardo da Vinci drew those batlike designs for an airplane people were already a-wing over the ice, as 12th-century literature records. The Dutch, the Scandinavians, the Finns appear In the vanguard of the aviation of those days. Today skating, plain and fancv. is a verv international affair, with august bodies enforcing rules and esthetic authorities authori-ties setting examples for style. Collier's Encyclopedia declares that speed skating is the "fastest sport In which "man moves under his own power."

The oth er day in a committee hearing, a. statesman was defined, as "politician; held, firm . and up right by equal pressure from both sides." 'The ' only trouble with this definition Is that often the pressure from those with special axes to grind, is not matched by that from the; ordinary. .dtiaen and taxpayer.. But it is there and public officials who fall to realize real-ize it, or underestimate ' it strength are eventually knocked over by it U;be polls. , , t ' TAX CUTS?. . This leads me to the subject of tax cuts. Judging from the newspapers it appears that a majority of the members of Congress think that a tax cut, balanced budget or not, is essential essen-tial because this is an election year- JflrmlyJ)ellevethatthls is an instance where., they are completely underestimating the Intelligence and common sense of the people who elected them to office. BUDGET EXPERTS. . . The tax cut at any price" group ov erlooks the fact that we are a nation of budget experts. Every good homemaker in America knows, that her family cannot continually spend more than it earns without running Into ser ious trouble. She has also learn ed that a tax cut that causes another rise in the cost-of-living Is worse than no tax cut at all. Inflation not only steals from the value of next week's wages, it takes away the value of the portion of last week's wages set aside for a special purchase or a rainy day. , BALANCE FIRST, i . This does not mean that taxes should not be cut. But I firmly believe that expenditures must be cut first; the government must operate In the black before an honest tax cut can be voted. We are making progress in that dlrec tlon. ' As President Elsenhower pointed out . in his State of the Union .message:-: Government spending has been cut by more than ten billion dollars. Nearly 300.000 positions have been ell mlnated from the Federal pay roll. . . ; H . . .:.. . HEARTENING NEWS. . The President also stated: 1 expect the budget to be in balance during dur-ing the fiscal, year ending June 8O.1; I shall propose. a. balaned budget for the next fiscal year." I am' firmly convinced that the President is right In proposing a balanced budget in place of an election year, tax cut A tax cut which adds real income to our people can only be made when the government operates In the black. ALASKA VOTERS. . . Since it is apparent that Congress will not grant. Alaska.,full. statehood, 1 have Introduced legislation to give . it the next jbest. .thing the right to elect its own. governor. It is only fair,! believe to grant to the Alaskan people the right to elect and .defeatthe chief law enforcement executive In the Territory Telephone Co. i - . . . . . Files for Rate Increase Continued Increases in the cost of doing business emphasised emphasis-ed substantially as a result of wage adjustments during the past two years has resulted In the filing of a petition on January Jan-uary 5 by. The Mountain States Telephone Company with the PubuC'Serviw-Commission of Utah, requesting that body to re view the Company's earnings situation in Utah, Erie C. Aaberg, Vice President and General Manager, stated today. Aaberg said some increase In rates was necessary In order that earnings would be sufficient to keep ' the business ' financially sound.' Utah's telephone requirements, require-ments, continue to grow. and It is Important to the state that service, be expanded to meet demands. de-mands. To finance the Increasingly. Increas-ingly. - large construction pro grams earnings must be at a level, that, will encourage., Investors In-vestors to place their savings in the business, he added.' , Current expenditures for addi tions to the Company's plant throughout the state are at the rate of about eleven million dollars dol-lars per. year. with the 1954 re quirements expected to exceed that of 195V Aaberg pointed out that the wage Increases will conT tlnue to keep telephone wages in line with those of, other in dustries in communities where this Company operates., Yearly wage contract : negotiations m 1954 and .1955, both since the last rate adjustment was made in Utah, have added about $900,- 000 to. the wage bill in the state. There are - 3300 telephone employees em-ployees inrth-statenf Utah. About half of each dollar of telephone tele-phone revenue is needed to meet payroll requirements.. t Costs of doing business have been pushed upward by increased increas-ed prices for copper, steel, automobiles, auto-mobiles, building construction and materials used In dally operation, op-eration, for new facilities - and replacing worn out plant.' "We have a big job ahead of us to meet the requirements for. more telephone service In the state of Utah and we are going ahead full speed toward that objective. It is essential that In doing so we keep the business financially sound in order to meet our obligations ob-ligations to the people of Utah."
