Show A Good Study - Poor Public Relations! We learned last weekend the Utah Local Government Survey Commission isn't the ogre we had pictured. Had not an interested bystander volunteered information on the group, we'd probably have remained in the dark, though, just as most citizens must be. Allan Witt, analyst in charge of research for the Utah Foundation, and a Murray resident, came forth with the story of the Commission, since the Commission itself hadn't. He arrived at our office with printed matter relative to the group in question and spent an hour or so telling us about their activities. We're grateful. Since the Commission didn't have sufficient diplomacy or foresight to exercise a bit of public relations, they should be happy someone who knew something about them "went to bat" in their behalf. Apparently commission members, in manner not unlike many other public boards, thought the only newspapers in the stare of Utah were dailies in Salt Lake City. If thev had searched around a bit, they'd have found there were almost sixty others scattered across the state, each with a segment of readership equal to or exceeding, in their own community, that of the dailies in the capitol city. At any rate, a swift summary of the situation reveals this: The Commission studied many problems other than the proposed Salt Lake Metropolitan Area government scheme. Most were a great deal more practical, in our book, than switching the valley's governmental arrangement. There's no evidence that Salt Lake City is even in favor of that idea. Certainly the whole scheme is such a hot potato that you can look for it to be approached jather tenderly in the future. "Demican" or "cradlc-to-grav- c" at 3:15 Wednesday morning.

Oldsters shudder when young men of today, their parcelled out to various indebtedness before they've even been turned over for a signature, look optimistically to the future. They not only lack fear of a possible recession, but think things are going to get better year by year; less working hours and fatter more conveniences. It's a wonderful outlook on life and one the government has fostered among citizens of our nation. But it's not realistic. And it puts cither political party "on the spot" once the White I louse is gained. The American people, so the saying goes, just aren't going to tolerate a recession. Both Republican and Democratic leaders are convinced of that fact. So regardless of who wins in November, the people arc going to feel no difference economically. It boils down, in reality, to a matter of which administration would make the strongest attempt to keep Government subsidy and ownership at a minimum. Neither is going to do anything to impair our economic status. of TAYLORSVILLE of Murray, passed away Sunday evening at his home, the victim of a heart ailment.

Legislative action, votes of the people and more legislative action stand between the proposal and the realization. The biggest problem contributing to the survey of government was the fact that Salt Lake county embraces 28 separate districts. It creates no little confusion for county officials. Added to that is the fact that there are many inequalities in the county's tax system. Murray people, for instance, pay taxes to support roads, garbage collection, sewers and police protection for people in Salt Lake county, yet realize no benefit whatever from tax money they expend. So there are real reasons behind the commission's survey. But the proposal still is no "cure-allThere is no reduction of in taxes promise only in theory. And it's w board anybody's guess hether the with a single representative from Murray would be successful. Our personal theory is that we'd be vastly locally and would certainly lose much of the voice we have in our own decisions. That doesn't mean the Commission has erred on everything it's done. Their research in other fields has been and without remuneration. We believe it is a valuable study. Their big mistake was poor public relations. People instinctively fight something they don't understand. The Utah Local Government Survey Commission is the most misunderstood group we've ever encountered. As their recommendations are advanced in the future, we'd suggest a program of letting all the people know w hat's going on. An informed public will do the right thing! under-represent- Page 2 Entered os second clasi matter at the postoffice of Salt Lake City, Utah, under the Act of Congress of March 3, 1879 and published every Thursday at 155 Court Avenue by the Murray Printing Company. "Republic"? The odd thing about the coming General Election is that it's pretty much narrowing into a conflict of personalities rather than a battle of political parties. Of course the party angle hasn't been erased by any means. liut the "man on the street" in political conversations seems to be pretty much in favor of Eisenhower or in favor of Stevenson and not steadfastly behind a platform. Not that this is entirely new, but in 1956 it seems to be true to a greater degree. We think it's an indication that Democratic and Republican ideologies arc becoming more and more parallel. Neither part)' is going to tamper very much with the nation's economic situation. In spite of promises during campaigning, neither is tax strucgoing to alter our ture. The reason is obvious. The American people as a whole have been weaned over to a new way of thinking. During the time this has fiecn fostered, a new generation has grown up. Time flics so rapidly vc can easily lose sight of the fact that people now 24 years of age have lived their entire life under a government which is beamed toward security. A young man born in the first term of Roosevelt's presidency became of age and began to work for a living in an era of easy money.
