Get it out of politics. That cry implies that if one merely takes a certain bit of government and removes it from the publics ability to vote for or against it, and puts that element under civil service, everything will then become sweetness and light." There will be no special privileges, no crookedness. Government begats government. Government is force backed with a sheriffs gun.

Our local going branch is the Municipal League King of the which as its Chicago run nabob promotes, promotes such things as City Managers. A City Manager is not responsible to the people. He is not elected. Dade County, Florida (Miami) tried to unseat a city manager and failed. But, to return to our point. Mr. Tom McCoy, Executive Director of the Utah Municipal League has written the lead article in the May 1961 issue of WESTERN CITY MAGAZINE; a monthly magazine promoting the ideas gestat-e- d at the headquarters of the Municipal League at 1313 East 60th Street, Chicago, Illinois. Mr. McCoy is worried about what nearly happened at the last legislature when S.B. 18, the Tort Clairs Act was introduced. It passed but was vetoed by Governor G. D. Clyde. Mr. McCoy claims that this single, onesided pieee of legislation, in completely depriving municipal corporations of government im- munity for any function, would have been un history of Utah. precedented in the law-maki- ng It delighted this writer that the citizens of the State of Utah were seeking a bit of self- responsibility of their acts by government officials. Mr. McCoy was most upset by the fact that a citizen could fall down or be injured in a privately owned company and could sue the city because the city is responsible for inspecting the safety problems of that company, (this point of view only supports what has been well known for some time that such departments of government are little interested in and the quality or adherance thereto, as they are in the funds obtained by the liscensing-and-inspecti- on liscense or inspection.) Private industry is responsible for the negligence of its employees and for their willful misconduct or their innocent trespass. Again we point to a point of view that in its own expression proves that government begats government which in turn is interested only in the money it can take (by force) from its citizens in its own perpetuation and growth. To listen to any charlitan who urges you to take it out of politics is to place your neck in the noose and to pull the trap. Our position on all government officials is that it is their duty to work toward the elimination of their office with the greatest speed He closed by saying that If the Legislature were to enact legislation which permits municipal corporations to follow Workmans Compensation and procedures for claims payments, efforts to take away governmental immunity CHILDREN Little Bears Friend, by Elise H.

The most important goal today, the General stated, is fredom for all generations to come. We need the highest priority on a program to combat at home and Communism abroad. If we must continue our voluminous foreign aid program, then we should help only those countries that are friendly to us, and that are willing to help themselves. America, he pointed out, apparently is not contemplating the direct use of force to prevent establishment of a Communist base 90 miles from our shores, but is willing to send U. S. troops to the Far East. I am opposed to sending. American boys there unless the peoples of those countries show a sincere inclination to defend their own freedom. We cannot and should not attempt to carry the entire burden money and bodiesboth for the entire world, the General stated during an impromptu period that followed his speech.
