Tourists. ..please, dont pass the Salt Palace!!!! hes wrong in spectacular Mayor J. Bracken Lee is wrong fashion. Everybody 'knows about it because he doesn't hedge much in the first place. The disadvantage of being outspoken is theres hardly anyplace to hide from those who may disagree. . ' Since- his bloopers make such a splash ... we may occasionally forget that Salt Lake Citys mayor is right more often than hes wrong. He is a veteran in government. When taxpayers dont get the benefit of his experience, they are the losers. For example, Mayor Lee has talked long and 'hard for consolidation of city -- county functions. He hardly ever misses an opportunity to promote such cooperation. Some of his detractors say hes simply using the ussue to heckle county Democrats. If this is true, perhaps its because he knows it's an area where they are vulnerable. An immense bundle of tax money is squandered every year in duplication of services . : If thats not enough, theres the' simple inconvenience of the present system.

Governor Rampton will need it when he uu ets up with the school leathers. Benefits To Study A fellow came into the office the other day to talk about the staggered --quarter school plan. He agrees that its an idea worthy of consideration ... and he mentioned some side benefits we had overlooked. One of these is a minor stabilizing influence on the retail economy. Now, theres a rush to the shops every fall to outfit youngsters for the coming school year. Its difficult to anticipate seasonal buying so sometimes sales are lost as stocks become depleted. If every quarter a portion of the school enrollment was getting ready to go back to school, this shopping would be spread over the year, enabling retailers to move inventory on a more regular basis. Advantageous purchases from manufacturers would be feasible if the merchant knew he wouldnt have to hold stock for a whole year ... and customers could shop ip a more comfortable atmosphere. There would still be minor spurts but the mad scramble would be elimin- ated. Another side benefit he mentioned is that vandalism of schools would be reduced. A large slice of school funds is spent each fall replacing broken windows and otherwise repairing damage which occurs every summer while buildings are vacant. Our new friend is representative of a gi owing number of individuals who are becoming interested in some alternative to higher taxes as a cure to Utahs education problems. If phone calls are any indication, this office receives more and more requests for further information on the staggered quarter system. Once basic misconceptions are cleared, callers usually express enthusiasm for the idea. Governor Calvin L. Rampton and the state superintendent of schools have said the plan merits consideration. Were sure its time for educators on the local level to sit down and educate themselves on the advantages of a school staggered-quartschedule.
