Show Page Two June SOUTHERN UTAH NEWS, Kanab, Utah 20, 1068 NOTICE TO DELINQUENT COOWNEKS SOUTHERN UTAH NEWS OFFICIAL NEWSPAPFR OF KANE COUNTY, UTAH LETTERS TO THE Published every Thursday at Kanab, Utah Marlin B. We, EDITOR six months Dear Editor, matter October 6, 1944 at the post Entered as second-clas- s office in Kanab, Utah, under the Act of March 3, 1879. WHOSE RESPONSIBILITY? Appearing on this page is a letter to the editor concerning our youngsters. The letter suggests that people here care more about the tourist dollar than about our own children. This may be right! When asked point blank which is more important, every the dollar or children and most valuable sometimes, children. his will However, answer, parent our actions do not bear out our spoken words. Admittedly we must do all we can to see that our children grow up in a wholesome atmosphere, learning the values of life in contrast to the things of a degrading nature. On the other hand, youth should not expect a handout from the old man, the community, or the nation. Two weeks ago we ran an open letter to teenagers which suggested that parents do not owe their children entertainment, the world does not owe them a living, their city does not owe them amusements. But rather the young folks own the world something. How nice it would be if someone were to donate a teenage club to Kanab, with a couple of bowling alleys, some pool tables, tennis tables, snack bar, juke box, and all else that each of us dreamed of in our younger days. But to have it given free gratis, would not lend to a full appreciation for the facility. Granted, our youngsters need things to do, places to go. The open letter suggested lots of things to do, from painting, to cooking, to studying, and ending with a real good suggestion that when you get through read a good book. Aside from the reading a book bit the suggestions would not be considered recreational or amusing to todays youth. Recreational areas are needed. Places the kids can go instead of necking down lovers lane, or conniving with someone to get a case of beer. But how much more would a recreational center be appreciated if it were conceived, and pushed through by the youngsters themselves. Well wager that if the youth around here would organize a committee, seek adult assistance and then put pressure on businesses, city officials, county officials, educational leaders, and church leaders, they would come up with a much better and more apprecian than they might get otherwise. ted our youth need We agree with the letter-write-r: attention. We hope they will be the backbone of the crusade to get what they really need. teen-cantee- TVA OUT OF BOUNDS Ordinarily, when a billion dollar investment in a commeicial development is announced every tax unit of government perks up its ears. The assessors and the revenue agents sharpen their pencil. The public treasury is a principal benefactor when a company or an industry undertakes an expansion program. A billion dollar investment in new plant and equipment would usually mean a source of millions of dollars of new taxes to the federal government, as well as to local governments. But such will not be the case with a recent announcement of a billion dollar expansion program. In this case, the commercial enterprise doing the expanding is the governments Tennessee Valley Authority. The federal taxpayer can look to no help from TVAs billion dollar investment in new generating facilities the world's largest. According to The New York Times, the construction progi am involves projects for more new generating capacity than at any time in the history of the TVA. The new capacity will come from eight nuclear and coal-fire- d generating units of more than a million kilowatts each. All have larger generating capacity than d any unit now in operation in the world. Their capacity equals the total for the whole TVA system only 12 years ago. TVA has come a long way from the day when it was promoted as a flood control and irrigation project with electric power an incidental It is now a vast complex of electric generating, transmission and distribution systems. It is one of the largest commercial enterprises in the country and it is out of bounds for the tax collector. Experience speaks. People have said that if someone starts a business for teenager, in Kane County it will corrupt the youngsters. I believe, that if someone doesnt get some kind of activity a;ound Kanab for the kids cf today, ther e will be more unexpected marriages, and more alcoholics among the younger set. Are the tour ists and the money they will bring in Kanab all anyone Ls concerned about? We havent stopped to realize that more than half of the tourist j are youngsters. I think a town should first think about the people that live in that town and second about the people ficm out of town.

While planners and politicians talk of the government rebuilding cities, guaranteeing jobs, underwriting medcial care, education, social security, housing, cheap electricity, and Heaven knows what else, a few facts about taxes are pertinent. Total taxes estimated to be collected in fiscal 1968 all levels of government in the United States will by about $3,550 per American family, up $134 from equal last year. Twelve years ago, taxes collected by federal, state and local governments combined were equivalent to $1,897 per family. Total tax receipts in fiscal 1968 will exceed 1967 receipts by about $10 billion. They will be over $100 billion higher than a dozen years ago. The collections in 1968 will provide $148 billion for the federal government and $69 billion for state and local governments. There are still those who say that taxpayers are not doing enough ! There are millions more of us rear ing families and running businesses under the mount ing pressure of taxes and inflation who say that gov ernment is doing too much much more than even the wealthiest nation on earth can afford!
