HATCH Sertoma Clubs Hear Hatch Orem Sertoma Club participated partici-pated in a combined three-chapter three-chapter luncheon last week at the Elks Lodge. Orrin Hatch, U.S. Senatorial candidate was the guest speaker at the luncheon, where a new UtahValleySertoma Club was created. More than 100 members and guests were in attendance. at-tendance. Mr. Hatch told the group that he was against the Humphrey-Hawkins Humphrey-Hawkins bill. He said that the bill will lead the nation into a difficult time and add to the deficit, def-icit, which is 700 billion dollars at the present time. He went on to say that there is a need for more conservative senators like Jake Gam. Mr. Hatch stated that he is for the Right to Work law and he spoke for freedom to work where and how one feels. He noted how one man can make a difference and gave for an example the Common Situs Picketing bill. Frank Moss cast the deciding vote on the over-ride. Moss, he said, was named the 11th most liberal senator by the UJS. Chamber of Commerce. Hatch said he was against the National Health Care Insurance Act. Complete health care for each citizen would cost 80 billion dollars per year and the citizens would have to pay for it. He emphasized the need for fiscal restraint in congress. Less government interference with free enterprise is needed also, and more governing from the state level and less from Washington. Hatch stated that the country needs a strong defense, de-fense, not for aggression, but for defense. Mr. Hatch said that he was against federally funded abortion. abor-tion.

This was the finding of Utah Foundation, the private, non profit public service agency, concerning an initiative proposal that will appear on the ballot at Utah's November general election. The proposal would limit the Utah budget to the 1970-77 total for the ensuing five years, and would phase out Federal Fed-eral aid to the state over the same period of time. Federal aid to local government units, if it passes through the state clearinghouse clear-inghouse would be eliminated immediately. The proposal is one of three placed on the 197G ballot by means of initiative petitions. A proposed amendment to the Utah Constitution Consti-tution will also appear on the ballot. Opponents of the budget limitation proposal propo-sal believe it would have sever adverse affects that would outweigh possible benefits, the Foundation notes in a research brief released recently. In the five-year period 1970-75, Utah's population increased more than 13 and the cost of living rose nearly 37, the Foundation Founda-tion states. Opponenets of the proposed budget limitation assert that a rigid budget ceiling in the face of growing needs and shrinking dollars could wreck state operations, opera-tions, including the school program. In the matter of Federal aid, the Foundation Founda-tion points out that many state programs, especially in the areas of highways and public welfare, are joint state-Federal efforts that could not be carried on by the state alone. In fiscal 1976-77, $75.5 million in highway funds (47 of the Utah highway budget) will come from Federal sources. In fiscal 1975, $53 million in public assistance and medical assistance funds, more than two-thirds of the total spent in Utah for these purposes (excluding administrative costs) was Federal money. It is also pointed out that 70 of Utah's land area is in Federal ownership and that many Utahns feel the state is entitled to some Federal reimbursement in lieu of taxes on this land. While more than $250 million in the current state budget is Federal Fed-eral money, with additional funds, going to local government units, Utahns pay an ex-timated ex-timated total of more than $1 billion in Federal Fed-eral taxes. Proponents of the proposal charge that state expenditures have risen unreasonably, expecially in the last two years, and that Utah taxpayers' cannot afford to continue the trend. They also' assert that the Federal Government, through grants-in-aid and revenue rev-enue sharing, is exercising undue influence on state and local government policies, and ' that eliminating Federal aid would reduce and eventually end this. Opponents of another porposal on the ballot, to permit recaU of elected and appointed officials, of-ficials, are divided into two groups, the Foun-' dation notes. Some critics feel that election elec-tion procedures in a democracy provide sufficient suf-ficient control over public officials. Others think that some provision for recall might be desirable to meet emergencies, but the numbers of signatures required in the proposed law are so low that the law, if enacted, would become a means of harassment harass-ment of dedicated public servants. A survey sur-vey conducted by the Utah Office of Legislative Legis-lative Research indicates that no state now providing for recall of state officials has as low a percentage requirement for voter signatures sig-natures as is contained in the Utah recall proposal. Another ballot proposal would ban public health officials from adding flourine"or any of its derivatives or compounds or any other medication" to public water supplies without approval of a majority of voters at a duly constituted election. Utah Foundation notes that "arguments for and against fluoridation have been repeatedly aired in Utah in recent times and will not be repeated here. It is, however, pointed out that critics of the ballot proposal are fearful that the language of the proposed law could extend the ban to include chlorination, an established and accepted purification measure whose elimination would be a major public health hazard. The fourth issue which will appear on the 1976 ballot is a proposal to amend the Utah Consitution to lower the legal voting age from 21 to 18 years and liberalize voter residency requirements. "The requirements in the proposed amendment amend-ment are those now being followed in Utah ... and would bring the language of the Utah Constitution in accordance with Federal law and actual practice inUtah the Foundation Founda-tion states.
