Aesocialo Editor Entered as lecond data matter November 19. 1944 at the posi office at Oram, Utah, under the act of March 3. 1897. MEMBER: Utah State Press Association National Editorial Association Subscription Rates: One year, in advance 13.00 THE REASONS WHY A number of Senators and Congressmen, including our own Senator Watkins, are spending a good deal of time lately second-guessing on the Korean war. Recently Recent-ly Senator Watkins described the war in Korea as "the most tragic chapter in American history" and called it "a chapter which is being written by executive action of the president without consultation with the congress." He said that "it is my belief that the Korean disaster would not have fallen upon the world if the congress had been consulted . . . . " It might be of service to review, for Senator Watkins and for others, "why we fifeht in Korea." The reasons we fight were once apparent to virtually all those who now criticize the president for bad judgment judg-ment and the usurpation of power. In our opinion they were valid reasons last June, and they remain valid, in spite of set-backs and disappointments, today. The attack on the Republic of Korea by Communist forces was one of those acts of naked agression which test the structure of collective security as well as the faith and purpose of the free world. South Korea was a child of the United Nations, and not to have defended it would have been the nd an unhappy end of one more chapter in the building of a world organization. The president, we submit, acted in the only way possible under the circumstances, and the universal backing of the country attested the Tightness Tight-ness of his move. Today, after a long series of evacuations, regroupings, regroup-ings, withdrawals and casualties, we fight in Korea against heavy odds and without immediate prospects of success. The position i3 disagreeable and disappointing, yet the series of defeats must not be allowed to challenge chall-enge the motives which inspired our intervention in Korea. We fight in Korea, because we believe that our presence pres-ence there, whether we advance or withdraw, can play a part in the overall strategy of the free world. We fiht as evidence that Americans mean to protect, with arms if necessary, the rights of free people to maintain main-tain their self-determination. Rather than being "the most tragic chapter in American Amer-ican history" we suspect that American sacrifices in Korea may well go down in history as a glorious prelude pre-lude to an era when free people everywhere feel the obligation to fight for the rights of each other.

Lee were Salt Lake City visitors on Monday. A group of friends honored Gladys Lee at a missionary shower at the home of Jackie F. Bryant. Gifts to be used in the mission field were presented to Gladys. Mr. and Mrs. Harold Col-vin, Col-vin, Tracy Colvin, Nyra Colvin and Nreene Allred attended the BYU-Utah game in Salt Lake City Saturday night. The Utah Legislature passed the quarter mark in its 60-day 1951 session this week without the slightest indication of what direction it intends to take in the all important matter of state spending. This might be due largely to the "economy" attitude of Gov. J. Bracken Lee, who definrtely will have the final say on legis lative activities with a "veto" power that is in no apparent danger of overrides. He has 30 Republicans in the House of Representatives to match the 30 Democrats and fair support a-mong a-mong the Democrats who hold a 15-8 majority in the Senate. Already two Democrats, Sen. Marl D. Gibson (D-Price) and Clarence L. Ashton. (D-Roose-velt) have joined three Republi cans to sponsor two bills sent up by the governor to exempt most food and prescription drugs from salea tax and to provide income tax relief by raising personal per-sonal income tax exemptions. The governor proposes exemptions exempt-ions be raised from $600 to $750 on single persons and from $1200 to $1500 on married couples, coup-les, and from $300 to $500 on dependents. In his opening message to the a hike in the property tax over the state. The latter measure, introduced introduc-ed in the Senate by ten members mem-bers of the body, would raise the operation and maintenance cost of a classroom unit per year from $3300 to $3800. With a total tot-al of 5754 classroom units in the state, this would mean that another an-other $2,877,000 would have to be raised to cover the uniform school fund cost. An additional increase from $675 000 to $1,-000,000 $1,-000,000 for transportation of school children is sought, and that would extend the income and corporation and franchise tax collections, the land board collections on school property and surpluses are counted up each year and that after that, the remaining amount necessary to finance the basic school program pro-gram comes from a combined state-district property tax levy, uniform over the state. It should be noted hat Governor Govern-or Lee, in his plea for income tax reduction, said a general fund surplus could be tossed into in-to the school fund to eliminate necessity of a property tax increase in-crease at the present rate of $3300 per classroom unit. Meanwhile, in action so far, This 'N That Ethyl Nielses Hall EXPOSING THE FAIR SEX Hi Folks, There are certain facts statistics statis-tics point out that are shocking I'm sure most people don't take time out to think about 6uch rivial things as to why the fair sex lives longer than the sturdy male- But look around you at the widows whose big strong he men have passed away and left them well off. In an article I was reading in "The Woman" it stated that their are 7,000.000 widows. The article deals with the emotional problems prob-lems of the bereaved weaker sex. i Thes I got to wondering why people under estimate a woman's wom-an's strength. I've seen women with more than one husband out live, out-do the men she married. marri-ed. Very often there is a big insurance in-surance at stake, Of course on the other hand thele are certain women who go to their graves because they, too, have too much money. But not as often as men. You have probably read that heart trouble is one of the chief ailments that big he men die with. It is a horrible thought but, while I was at the Writers' Annual Round Up in Ogden some years ago a very successful success-ful mystery writer who deals in facts and is rich and famous from this profession, told us that 50,000 men every year are sent to their graves because ol too much insurance. Not more than five of the widows are ever exposed ex-posed for poisoning them. vrue-some, vrue-some, but facts nevertheless Now I am sot trying to talk anyone out of buying insurance, but when a man is worth more dead than alive and his wife doesn't love him but loves some- j one else all I can say is broth er, better drop some of that insurance. in-surance. Why friend hubby thinks the little lady is so help less that she couldn't knit af- gans and make a good living is more than I can see. So my advice: ad-vice: Never under estimate a woman. .... That is betraying my sex . . . and some of them should have been exposed long ago. Of course you'll sav that couldn't happen in our little town but it has, it does, and is. There is so much of the black widow spider in every female. . Strange that when most people peo-ple read of Mr. So and So passing pass-ing away with a heart attack, etc., they fell so sorry for the bereaved be-reaved widow. When a man is perfectly well and just kicks off sudden like there is a question quest-ion in my mind. The detective mystery writer who makes it his life long profession to expose murders in disguise, also says there's always a question in his mind, too. And if there's a big insurance and much money involved, in-volved, he does something about it. Legislature the chief executive j the legislature has looked to the recommended the tax reductions j rural areas by passing a measure and that further reductions be to permit creation of fire pro- tecton districts within and be tween counties- .

One bill already has appeared in tne sesate. That primary obligation is not to cer tain individuals or pressure groups, but rather to the people as a whole, including the heavily burdened taxpayer." He recommended that "we provide some measure of tax relief re-lief to the people and then fit oppropriations to expected revenues." rev-enues." In this regard, he presented pres-ented a proposed budget in which he fitted department and institutional appropriations to an estimated general fund, including in-cluding surplus from 1949 51 of 615,058 000. This meant slashing down requests of $25,248,000, including some $14,880,000 asked ask-ed by vocational schools and institutions in-stitutions of higher learnin. While the governor was seeking seek-ing a cut in general fund spending, spend-ing, including a cut of $100,000 in appropriation to the State Department De-partment of Public Instruction, to effect the proposed tax redue tion, however, lawmakers proposed pro-posed in another measure introduced intro-duced at the close of the second week an increase in basic public school revenues that may mean would provide for two senators from each of the presently constituted con-stituted 15 Senatorial districts and a realignment of representatives represent-atives on the basis of one for each 10,000 inhabitants as in the presest law. This would decrease Salt Lake County representatives in- the Senate from seven to two, and would leave Utah and Weber at two each and increase all other districts from one to two, with : the membership increasing from 23 to 30. House membership would jump from 60 to 76, with Salt Lake County the big gainer, gain-er, going from 1& to 28 members. Eleven senators sponsored the! bill, which U one less than a majority. Senator Gibson was the only senator outside of Salt Lake, Utah and Weber Counties not on the measure. It is gener ally conceded that Carbon Coiui ty representation will hold the key to the entire reapportion ment problem. To Shed Ught on the World This Week THESE MEN HAD THIS TO SAY: "... the only prudent course open to the United States and ourselves is to stabilize the local military position and, if the opportunity then occurs, to negotiate with the aggressors and at least make sure that we negotiate from strength and not from weakness . . . Appeasement in itself may be good or bad according to the circum. stances. Appeasement from weakness and fear is alike futile and fatal. Appeasement from strength i3 magnanimous mag-nanimous and noble and might be the surest and perhaps per-haps the only path to peace." WINSTON CHURCHILL in House of Commons. 'I have no fear of what Congress will do. The people of America do not want to sit on the side lines and permit per-mit Stalin to take control of Europe." JAMES F. BRYNES, former secretary of State and now Governor of South Carolina, in inaugural address. "The Russians would like to bleed us while by a series of such moves by satellites, for which they will deny responsibility. If we and the rest of the world allow our-selves our-selves to be sucked in by this, it will be fatal. Instead of fighting off only the tentacles of the octopus, let us recognize these tentacles are directed by a central intelligence. Let us serve notice, therefore, that at the next act of aggression by a satellite, we will receive the right to strike at the eye of the octopus itself." Sen. PAUL DOUGLAS in Senate Speech. "We have learned in Korea that with our limited man power we can never defeat our enemies on their own continent in a ground war. . . the nation is dominated 'by military authorites who favor a balanced land, sea and air rearmament program which we cannot afford and which will brirte about our defeat through bankruptcy." bank-ruptcy." Maj. ALEXANDER P. deSEVERSKY before Utah Legislature on Friday. "I say to you in all seriousness that if the president is now permitted to order American armies into Europe without consulting congress, we will wake up one of these days and find we have again been taken into all-out all-out large scale war on the order of the president in violation viol-ation of the spirit as well as the letter of the constitution." constitu-tion." Sen. ARTHUR WATKINS before Senate. "You can be sure of this I thoroughly believe that the only way the free world can defend itself is by sticking stick-ing together. I simply do not see how one part of the free world can believe it can pull away and defend itself it-self by itself." Gen. E1S0NHOWER, in London press conference. "There is trouble inside the red army and inside the iron curtain. In my judgment this trouble would burst forth in genuine counter-revolution if an aggressive aggress-ive war were initiated by the Communist rulers." HAROLD HAR-OLD E. STASSEN, at dinner meeting of university trustees of Univ. of Penna. t VI would spell out a really big PWA project for the whole world in terms of specific dams, roads, bridges, electrification for towns and farms, irrigation ditches Communists are materialists. They are for sale if the and fertilizer factories in definite spots ... all the high Communists are materialists. They are for sale if the offer is high enough." HENRY A. WALLACE in Jan. 21 speech at Boston. "I do not believe any of us, no matter .how strong or how weak, can afford to pull out by himself and allow the others to go on alone." Gen. IKE EISENHOWER, in London. R.D.S.A. Glenn Gray has been home for the past week visiting vis-iting his family and friends. He will leave Sunday for San Diego where he will resume duties in the navy.
