Brown, Publisher and Editor Subscriptions: $5.00 per year; $3.00 half year; $9.00 2 years Entered as second-clas- s matter October 6, 1944 at the post office in Kanab, Utah, under the Act of March 3, 879. 1 BAD RELATIONS NOT GOOD Two weeks ago the local Bureau of Land Management office conducted a public meeting concerning management of public lands within the jurisdiction of the Kanab District, BLM. The meeting was reported in last week's Southern Utah News. Since that time we have given considerable thought to the proceedings of the meeting and have heard several comments. It boils down to the fact that there are not good relations between the BLM and a good many local residents, and bad relations are not good. When a federal agency has in its jurisdiction as much of a county as the BLM has in Kane County, and ytl relations between the agency and the people deteriorate, it is not good for either party. The presentation by the BLM at the mentioned meeta very polished, was and well prepared presing entation. One which would ordinarily bring forth compliments, if not applause. It seemed odd, however, that until comments were invited after the presentation, and one was made against BLM, there was no applause, and then it was quite profuse. There seemed to be a feeling present, particularly among livestock men, that the whole thing would not benefit them at all. We don't profes to be experts on what the problem may be, or to its solution, but we feel something needs to be done to correct the situation. It is our understanding that the BLM, which replaced Taylor Grazing, was originally established as a temporary bureau. Governor Ronald Reagan hit the nail on the head when he said there is nothing more eternal than a temporary government tax or bureau. Many criticisms are made of government agencies and more to the point about the local BLM operation. Citizens certainly have the right to be critical, inasmuch as the agency is financed from their pockets. Some of the criticism leveled at BLM include: They are trying to run livestock men out of business. Some stock growers are beginning to believe this is actually true. They are getting beyond the bounds of land management into operations: recreational, wildlife, forage on the lands, etc. Overstaffed and under worked on taxpayer dollars. It does seem significant that in the past 20 years the local staff has grown from two people to over 20. Add to that that the two used to keep the yard clean and the building. Now these two duties are put out. on bid. When it all comes from the taxpayer's pocket, there is cause for concern. And a taxpayers revolt may not be too far distant under present pressures. We do not wish to make enemies with the BLM, for on the other hand the personnel that make up the local BLM are good people. We appreciate their contributions to the local scene. They are spiritual people they take part in minded of church. civic are their the activities they They work hard in our civic clubs, and in community betterment projects. In these aspects they add tremendously to our communities. They are good friends. However, the number of good friends, eating off the taxpayer's table, so to speak, needs to be limited. And this is not to say that in their work they do not work hard. The problem is, there is a problem. And despite public relations work from the BLM, the problem gets worse rather than better. We're not sure what the solution is, but we are sure that Uncle Sam (the government agencies) better find some before the taxpayers do so themselves. well-don- more-or-le- e, ss NOTICE OF GRAVEL SALE U.
