A MARK OF CITIZENSHIP Bur-nace- A brief news item tells of a U. S. Senator receiving a letter from one of his constituents on the matter of gun control legislation. The constituent noted that he had to pay for a license and provide certain personal statistical information before he could go fishing in Ohio. On the other hand, he wrote his Senator, he bought a gun with no red tape at all. It is difficult to see any parallel in the two Mr. and Mrs. Cliff Swapp made a business and pleasure trip to Salt Lake City last Friday morning. They returned home Sunday evening. Gary Tom returned to his studies at Northern Arizona University Summer School at Flagstaff last Sunday afternoon. Garys wife (Bumace) s and baby are visiting with Mrs. Mr. and parents, Merrill Button, and will go over to Flagstaff this weekend. in- stances. The Senators constituent bought a license and paid a fee to fish in the state waters of Ohio water that the taxpayers had stocked with fish. The only purpose of a fishing license in Ohio, or anywhere else, is to help protect and conserve fishing as a sport. If the gentleman in question who bought the gun desires to go hunting, he will undoubtedly have to buy a hunting license in Ohio as he would anywhere else again to preserve the sport of hunting. He probably encountered no red tape when he bought his fishing equip- ment, too. Sherrill (Ella) Swapp went over to Elko, Nev., last y Little week to see the League team play ball. Russell Swapp was on the team. Others from this area attending the game were Mrs. Bill (Arlene) Tom, Greg Swapp, and Dwight Stephenson.

Our yardstick is the American constitutional principle that the federal government cannot legally do anything not clearly authorized by the Constitution. A few c f the votes tabulated do not involve this constitutional principle. The Senate, for example, acted constitutionally in voting to ratify the Consular Treaty and the Outer Space Treaty. But the record proves that any treaty affecting the security and defense of the United States will inevitably be harmful to our country. Hence, we recorded every vote for these two treaties as liberaL (And, wouldnt you know that Bennett voted for both of them!) Our tabulations give a dismal picture of Congress . . . Here is Tom Andersons evaluation of the present Congress: The last Congress, before the son Whiz Kids Kennedy-Johtook over, passed bills to spend $83.8 billion of our money . . . The statesmen comprising the 90th Congress, first session, whdh adjourned December 15, 1967, passed bills to spend $141.8 billion a $58 billion increase r in one year! A increase that was three times the total federal bonded debt when Herbert Hoover left office! No other American Congress if this one could be called an American Congress has ever had such a gift for grab. Its interesting, I think, that Mr. Carrico (July 25th) neglected to refer to Dan Smoots Record of the 90th Congress and Senator Wallace F. Bennetts liberal voting record. Apparently, the Dan Smoot report would do little to bolster the myth of Bennett being very much of a moderate Republican. What criteria does Dan Smoot use in assessing the stand of a senator? Just this: Federal power is limited to what is clearly specified in the Constitution. Any federal action is illegal if not clearly authorized by some grant of power in the Constitution no matter what the Supreme Court says; no matter how many people want the federal action or how beneficial it may seem. When the federal government does something not authorized by the Constitution, constitutional government is abandoned. There remains no brake on federal pow- n If the people want the federal government to do something for which there is no constitutional grant of authority, the people, by due process, should amend the Constitution to give the federal government the additional power they want it to have. If they permit elected and appointed officials to reinterpret or change the Constitution, they open the floodgates of tyranny. Federal power that can be stretched to perform one beneficial act, can be stretched to do a million evil deeds . . . here is little qualitative differ-ence between a legislator who supports moderate spending on unconstitutional programs and one who supports extravagant spending. They both violate the Constitution. Hence, in deciding whether a congressional vote is conservative or lib- We have tabulated the 76 votes most significant roll-ca- ll taken in the 90th Conress (48 in the House, 28 in the Senate) Of the 28 "significant bills considered, Senator Bennett is found voting with the bloc twenty (20) Liberal times. His rating as a Con- ... servative therefore, in Dan Smoots estimation, is 29. We need statesmen in Congress, not panhandlers. We need men who will devote their energies to restoring and defending U.S.-U.S.S.- er. one-yea- Page Two mF PDGfeD Dear Editor: 8, 19668 th? American constitutional system so that the people (by private effort or through their state and local government) can solve their own problems, free of plunder and harassment by the federal government. Even our best men in Congress seldom stop to think whether the Constitution authorized a piece of legislation: they seem to evaluate legislation only on the basis of whether it looks good or feasible, or whether a majority of voters appear to want it. It Is up to us, the voters, to let these men know we expect them to adhere to the Constitution regardless. It is up to us to replace all of those whose ratings clearly reveal that they are either totally ignorant of, or have utter contempt for, the Constitution which they are sworn to uphold.

ChamMr. Mrs. n Taxpaying, private electric companies rely heavily on the voluntary investment of savings by countless thousands of individuals and institutions who put their money to work in electric company properties, where it is converted into new generating plants and additional energy output. The electric companies that is the electric companies are taxpaying, investor-owne- d now paying record high interest rates along with everyone else. One company recently borrowed $20 million through a bond issue on which it is paying nearly 7.5 per cent interest. This borrowing by one company is but a drop in the national bucket so far as spending by the utility industry on new plant and equipment in the course of a year is concerned. Total industry spending for these purposes runs into billions of dollars annually, and it is not hard to see why high interest rates, to say nothing of rising taxes, must eventually result in a reversal of the long-terdownward trend in electric rates. It also should make it easier for us to see why commercial government ventures into the electric power business at taxpayers expense should be forced to pay their own way by being subjected to the same tax and interest charges borne by the investor-owne- d segment of the electric industry. m Always available to help with your regular or specialized auto and truck sales needs BOB LINFORD Salesman BRADSHAW CHEVROLET CO.
