What they fail to discuss is the overall effect of the tax reduction on the common mans pocketbook. They fail to predict the inflation that will result from the addition of $3 billion cost of this tax reduction to the nations debt. NO TREADMILL Basically, the effect of the tax reduction would be to hand our people 37c per week in tax reduction and then take it away from them in the increased cost of everything they buy.

This is why I voted against the tax revision measure last session and this is why I will vote against any additional tax reductions this year. FRUGAL PEOPLE I share the desire to cut taxes with all of our people. But I am convinced that the average American citizen will be willing to give LOOK up the 37c per week reduction in return for the assurance that his cost of living will not again skyrocket and that his pension benefits will be paid back to him in dollars having the same purchasing power that they did when he placed them in his retirement fund.

Supreme Court has ruled that no state constitution can bar a man from becoming a Senator if he is qualified under the federal constitution. With Lees term as governor ending just a few months past election there would be even more reason for the court to hold with the precedents already set in Wyoming and other states. The one man who knows,. if anyone does, what Gov. Lee plans to do is simply not talking. That is Gov. Lee himself. But there is one thing sure. 6,000 Utahns ought not count the governor among the political d too soon. No matter what he decides to do himself, he will be a big issue in some facet of the the politicos back in Washington are playing guessing games about what President Eisenhower is going to do, come 1030, the same procedure, with just as much intensity,, is going on,' in Utah. There are a great number of people who will lay bets that Gov. J. Bracken Lee is through politically after his recent, widely publicized statements back East. Butthis firm conviction isnt stopping those people from worrying overtime about what Gov. Lee plans to do with his time after he winds up his second term as governor. Not many people feel the governor will shoot for a third term. The big argument here is that he could not do so and be consistent with past remarks about dishonesty of being too long in one office. And inconsistency is not a thing the governor can usually be accused of. Naturally, the hottest rumor is that Gov. Lee will forsake the green pastures of Utah for the greener ones in Washington. There are still those who will tell you the governor is trying to build up interest in a third party movement which would head the Utah chief executive toward the White House. A far more logical explanation is that the governor has his eye on a 1030 election. seat in the U. S. Senate chambers. If the sentiments expressed by IT HAPPENED IN 1300: Gov.
