Len Jordan told the annual Lincoln Day banquet goers in Preston Thursday night. He said that the president Is building the kind of unity that will lead us back to sound government Sen. Jordan said that after years, billions of dollars have been poured into social welfare, but the poorer got poorer and the richer got richer. Last year, he said there were 155 taxpayers who earned over $200,000 a year who paid no income tax. The Nixon administration will get rid of some of the inequities and will not let the poor be taxed on substance while the rich go untaxed. He also said that respect for law and order flows from a just society, and under the man administration Nixon will be punished for his crimes. Sen. Jordan said he was wondering in the 100 years since Lincoln lived and paid with his life how much progress "we've made." He said we have learned to put men on the moon, walk in space free from gravity, yet "we have not learned now one nation can get along with another. We have not learned how to make our streets safe at night. "We have not learned the principals of Lincoln. "I think that the new administration is the answer," he added. Sen. Jordan was introduced by Rep. Orval Hansen who told the local group that there was no GUP oigandzation any where in Idaho like the one in Franklin county. He said he saluted the workers in the county. Rep. Hansen also noted that George Hansen, who was defeated by Sen. Frank Church, had been named the deputy of AgriculUndersecretary ture, and "I am proud to have him there." ihe men spoke to a capacity crowd, many of whom aad to stand during the program.
