On more than one occasion this past week we have been admonished for our stand on Reapportionment on the basis that as a newspaper we are stepping beyond our policy by taking sides. All of which proves that to defeat fair legislative representation, the exponents of popular representation would stop at nothing to gain a purpose. The Reapportionment Amendment is not political in the sense that neither the Democratic party or the Republican party have completely endorsed or rejected ,the issue. Consequently, irrespective, of party affiliation, the Reapportionment Amendment will remain independent and should be evaluated on no other standard than its indi- . vidual merit. Actually the Reapportionment Amendment is not new. It dates back to the Utah Constitutional Convention of 1895, and much of the argument pro and con is simply an echo of past debate. This much is new, however. Since the end of World War II the industrial economy of Utah has changed considerably. In fact, the present momentum of economic change is so great that it would be a physical and moral impossibility for one senator to represent more than one county, and do so to the best interest of the entire state. The State, after all, is a business institution dependent on a sound economy for its survival. Therefore, it must by necessity, create additional offices to protect its own economy. ty To a point, the present monopoly had its use, signified by the tremendous economy created. But as in all things, there is a saturation point, and further exist-anc- e of the monopoly may tend to retrograde the present industrial growth if the monopoly is allowed to exist for long. The fact remains that the industrial growth now being realized by the State is predominantly in counties with partial Senatorial Representation. Aside from the obvious conclusion that the state cannot hope to achieve the maximum benefits from this growth unless it has the necessary representation to protect its own interest, the industrial growth cannot be nurtured to its peak on the basis of alien non-partis- an tri-coun- representation. One point in this reasoning that makes sense to us is that' when the saturation point of an economy has been reached, the only thing that will prevent a retrogression is a program of expanded economy. And in no instance is an expanded economy successful without an expanded program of representation. The two are synonimous. Consequently, our stand is neither Democratic or Republican, but stems from the belief that Utah is deserving of an expanded economy, and to protect her interests, is deserving of equal voice from each of her subordinate units. Therefore, we believe a vote FOR" the Reapportionment Amendment, is a vote for an economically sounc Utah. by Walter Ckamblin. Jr. In the closing days of Con- gress, the Democrats outlined their campaign platform for bcth the November elections and the 1956 Presidential campaign. It was developed after they hud failed in an effort to make unemployment an issue and also after failuie of trying to accuse the present Administration of seeking an Asiatic war. It can best be described as a diplomatinc approach to the unemployment question, as the platfrrm is nothing more than the philosophy that the government, to prevent unemployment, must construct and operate failities to supplement the output of private industry. The new program as Republicans view it should give all Republican dissenters reason to pause and take a second brcuth. It has been drafted by a sup-- , group of Roosevelt-Truma- n porters. Leon H. Keyserlmg, a former chairman of the Presidents Council of Economic Advisors, is staff director. The program is entitled Toward Full Employment and Full Production. It holds that a recession started in 1953- - and, as a result, the nations total output is now about $27 billion below wldit it should be to provide full employment. The program then says: We must register year by year a minimum annual growth Dear Mr. Roe: in total output to rate of 4.2 I should like the following directed to Josephine Bayles and maintain a full economy except insofar as we increase leisure.

The present program is based upon the old Full Employment program of 1945-4- 6 which, a Congressional committee discovered, contained language lifted bodily from the Soviet Constitution- and Congressional investigating Communistic activities have since cited a number of those supporting the 1945-4- 6 Full Employment Program as being affiliated directly with the Communistic move. s Com-mitt- ment I I Play Oampaiyn On . . All scoffers and cynics may be considered to have been properly admonished by an event wiiich took place in Washington, D. C. the other day. We refer to the heretofore unimaginable election year spectacle of the Chairman of the National Committees of the Republican and Democratic parties figuratively breaking bread together in public. Such election year fellowship would be unsual enough if it took place at the wedding of a daughter of a mutual dear friend. When it is considered that the subject of their agreement had to do with politics, the effect on weaker souls is likely to be downright cataclysmic. We refer, of course, to the unqualified stamp of approval by kingpin Republican Leonard W. Hall and his Democratic counterpart, Stephen A. Mitchell, to the efforts of a group called the Fair Campaign Practices Committee. Briefly, the Committee, including distinguished sponsors from both parties, thinks it would be a good idea if some of the distortion, untruth, suppression of facts and playing on the fears and prejudices of voters were taken out of campaigning. A bit but not a bad idea, we would say. To accomplish this, the group is going pretty much to the heart of the matter by giving every candidate for election to Congress this year an opportunity to stand up and be counted on the subject of fair play. It is asking that each candidate sign a pledge that he is willing to abide by cerdyed-in-the-wo- ol mud-slingin- g, Now! is selk-seeki- r - U TilfiJ I clA theres than that deep-dow- just-boug- ht City Mercantile Agent For Havran Cleaners Cortez Laundry car.

The set of standards being used was developed from recommendations of the Senate Subcommittee on Privileges and Elections in 1951, called a Code of Fair Campaign Practices. We believe most candidates will welcome the chance to make this pledge. To our knowledge, this is the first time all those running for Congress will get a chance together. For those who cant help casting a jaundiced eye on. every public effort, looking for a gimmick, it should be noted that this Committee refuses to become involved in anything more than asking for pledges. It is strictly except when it comes to fair play, and will not referee political squabble. Neither will it damn nor commend any candidate, whether he signs the pedge or not. The entire concept is pretty much of an experiment, but one which should be rather interesting, to historians, at least. Mr. Hall and Mr. Mitchell set the pace by endorsing the fair play Code in the name of their parties. Nobody wants to take the spirit and kick out of political campaigning.
