POWERS VISIT MOAB, "HOLE IN THE ROCK" A most impressive experience for Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Powers was their trip to Moab and the widely noted "Hole in the Rock." This immense man made cavern is located 15 miles from Moab, and represents the life work of the late A. L. Christensen and his wife Gladys. Beginning with one small room, excavated into the hard red sandstone, they ran a restaruant and continued enlarging their rooms, until at the present time the excavation is immense, with 14 fabulous rooms. Some 50,000 cubic feet of sandstone has been removed. Mr. Christensen painted a life size portrait of the Savior and created a sculpture of President Roosevelt. Mrs. Christensen designs jewelry and other curios from typically western materials. All contestants are asked to meet at the Sportsmen's Headquarters at 9 a.m. sharp on May 18. This event will be an outdoor shoot and the contestants will be transported to the tournament site near the mouth of American Fork Canyon, Since the shoot may last until everyone is asked to bring a box lunch. In case of bad weather the shoot will be held on the inside range of the Sportsmen's Headquarters.

Dr. Bernhard stated that the existing length of the legislature does not allow time for in depth analysis of bills, and an additional session in the off years would alleviate this problem. He also stated that citizens have a moral responsibility to help the legislators relieve some of the financial burden they must bear when away from their business attending the legislative sessions. He spoke of one legislator who reported that one session cost him $25,000 in lost business. Dr. Melville quoted wages for legislators In the western states, and said the only state in our area which was lower for legislators is Wyoming, and it is only $20 less. Colorado, for instance, pays over $6,000 per session. He commented that the present property tax assessment method is inequitable, especially in the Orem area and for those on fixed incomes or retired. Both men agreed that the removal of the inventory tax would have to be made up some wag, because demand for services requires money which must come from some source, and the legislature must determine the most equit-ibl- e means of procuring this revenue, because you don't get something for nothing, they remarked. The state of Washington has removed all property tax and raised income taxes to provide revenue. This has placed the burden on the white collar worker, particularly in the large aircraft industries. Dr. Bernhard said in his opinion, that by extending the house to terms and the senate to terms, with one-thiof them being elected every two years, it would cut down the turnover and provide more experienced personnel. The inventory tax works a burden on the honest business man, and creates a hardship on the person doing business in the rd state. . Dr. Bernhard called the man- datory retirment amendment a one because it places the decision upon the voter without placing the lawyers in jeopardy of having to try cases before judges later. Lawyers and atttorneys are generally in favor of the amendment, but fear of potential reprisal inhibits them from actively supporting it. buck-passi- a be- 1 o 11 J. Smith Tyler Thursday.
