The Name Should Be "Sugar House Park" People axe apprehensive about the future when lhey hare had an unpleasant experience in the That is past why Sugar House folks wonder what is going io happen about the naming of the new park at the old prison site loca-tion it is still fresh in our memory how we were treated when the new high school was named. The majority, by far. wanted the high school named the Sugar House High. After much discussion dur-ing which important Sugar House organizations went on record favoring that name, the Board of Education completely disregarded the wishes of the people and in an arbitrary manner selected the name of Highland High School. Now the park is to be named. The Sugar House Chamber of Commerce, this newspaper, and other important groups have gone on record as favoring the name Sugar House Park. In addition a contest to select a name produced a couple of bushels of letters con-taining suggestions all of them turned over to the Commissioners. Of these the majority favor the name Sugar House Park. Now the commissioners are go-ing to turn over these suggestions to a committee composed of the same members as those who did the planning for the park in the first place. They will be dele-gate- d the responsibility of select-ing the name. This puts Sugar House resi-dents, organizations and business-es once again behind the proverb-ial eight ball, because this ap-pointed committee owes no allegi-ance to anybody. It is true the committee is made up of fine men, but that does not insure a name for the park that will meet the approval or the majority of the area residents. They could come up with a name as foreign to the demands of the people as was the name Highland when ap-plied to the new school.

There is sentiment in Congress to enact a tax cut bill before adjournment of the present session effective next Jan. 1. This een-time- nt is found chiefly in the House. Senators talk more of a tax cut bill next year. CONGRESSIONAL SENTIMENT Members of the House especially sensitive to public sentiment say that their mail demand-ing tax reduction now equals that urging the slashing of President Eisenhower's $71.8 billion budget Speaker Rayburn, after a meeting with Democratic members of the tax-originati- ng House Ways and Means Committee, said that while chances for tax cuts appeared good, Demorats will not make a decision until "around June" on whether they will try to push through a bill this year to take effect next January 1. Rep. Reed (R-N.Y- .), ranking Republican on the Ways and Means Committee called promises of tax reduction "vague and premature." While convinced that "lower taxes are essential," Mr. Reed added that such reduction "can be realized only to the extent that such ax re-duction compels a concomitant spending reduction." A cautious attitude towards tax cuts is also evident in the Senate. Sen. Byrd (D-Va- .), chairman of he Senate Finance Committee, wants first to see the end result of budget cutting efforts, which now total about $1 billion. He indicated that $3 to $4 billion would have to be cut if tax reduction talk is to be translated into action. Sen. Bridges (R-N.H- .), ranking Republican on the Senate Appropriations Com-mittee, takes much the same view. Should the Democrats try to push through tax reduction, it is almost certain that it would be either a $100 increase in the present $600 personal exemption, the old discredited $20 tax credit; or a split In the first $2,000 bracket, with a lower rate, probably 10 per cent, , Instead of the present 20 per cent, applying to the first $1,000. Republican strategy as to the exact form tax reduction to be supported, should the Democrats open such a drive later in the session, Is not quite clear. LABOR UNION RESTRICTIONS Behind the scenes Congres-sional discussion revolves around this question: Can Congress afford to go home without enacting desirable labor union legislation? Some members feel the people including union members have been so outraged by disclosures of labor union racketeering that Congress will be severely criticized if it does not enact legislation. Opposed to this view is a belief that big labor unions would be satisfied to see some "milk and water" legislation rushed through Congress in order to forestall fundamental changes in labor laws. Legislation is pending in the Senate to provide for some super-- : vision of union welfare and benefit funds. But members of the McClel--' lan racket investigating committee know that this is only one of the problems involved in union corruption. Senator McClellan (D-Ark- .), chairman of the Senate investigating committee, has indicated the possibility of legislation being offered by the committee in June. Meanwhile, the racket investigating committee swung into dis-closures of union force and violence and use of "goon squads" and "terror tactics" to force compliance with union dictation. |
