(Utah judges may forfeit their office by absenting themselves from their jurisdictions for more than ninety consecutive days, unless granted a special time extension by the Governor.

If a student works during the summer months or part time during the school year, and earns $1,680 or less for the year, he can still collect all of his social security benefits. If his earnings go above $1680, he gives up some of or all of his benefits, depending upon the amount of his total earnings.

In the 1968-6- 9 school year, the program will pay about $479 million to approximately 466,000 students entitled to payments on the earnings record of a disabled, retired or deceased parent. This will be an average of more than $1000 io each eligible stu- 18 Against Propositioq No. 5 Opposition to Proposition No. 5 Arguments appears to be meager, and principally based on uncertainty as to how the Legislature might implement the proposed amendment. Some jurists have expressed fear that a mandatory retirement age might be imposed without proper regard for the value of judicial experience. Other jurists and members of the bar, however, express the belief that the proposed constitutional guarantee of Supreme Court review of any action brought under the proposed law would provide sufficient protection to judges. ds amendment. ) BIG DISCOUNTS ON GUNS & AMMUNITION Liquor Initiative Petition A In addition to the five proposed constitutional amendments, Utah voters will find onthis year's ballot an initiative proposal to change the state's liquor control law. This vote will not be "permissive". If the proposal is approved by a majority of voters, a specific law will have been enacted, which cannot be vetoed by the Governor, and which will take effect five days after the election. General effect of the proposed law would be to legalize, under certain conditions, sale of liquor by the drink in Utah. Proponents and opponents of the proposal differ in their interpretations of the precise effects the law would have. Details of the interpretations of both sides have been widely circulated in the press and over the air and are available to interested citizens from a number of sources, and are therefore not repeated here. number of states, beginning with Calin 1960,2 have adopted procedures for ifornia mandatory removal of judges for "willful mis- conduct in office or willful and persistent failure to perform (their) duties or for habitual intemperance" or to impose mandatory retirement in case of physical or mental "disability seriously interfering with the performance of duties, which is or is likely to become permanent in nature. " proposed amendment would be per-- , missive, requiring legislative action to give it practical effect. Such legislation could not be made applicable to actions committed prior to its enactment. The proposed amendment would provide that "any determination requiring retirement or removal shall be subject to review, as to both law and facts, by the Supreme Court." $75.00 OFF REGULAR PRICE Manti Home Supply V, Block West of Bank, Manti Phone 835-236- 1 The Stnokey Says Arguments dents or prospective students in 2 the group whose mothers died after working under social security, or whose mothers are retired or disabled, should get in touch with their representative who will be at Manti in the basement of the Sanpete County Courthouse, north entrance, on October 15, 1968, from 1:30 p.m. until 3:00 p.m. Supporters of Proposition No. 5 assert that Utah law now offers no practical method1 for removing judges from office for mental or physical disability or for misconduct. It i s further argued that Utah's practice of having judges runfor reelection "against their record" instead of in open elections virtually assures their reelection and that the public is not adequately protected against judicial incompetency or misconduct.
