Kanab, Utah 84741 Dear Mr. Brown: Publisher and Editor Subscriptions: $4.00 per year, $2.50 for six months matter October 6, 1944 at the post Entered as second-clas- s office in Kanab, Utah, under the Act of March 3, 1879. INDEPENDENCE DAY 1968 In the midst of turmoil throughout the world, we should reflect on the fact that that which had its beginning 192 years ago, still endures, making the United States one of the oldest continuing forms of government on the face of the earth. The Declaration of Independence statement that decent a respect to the opinions of mankind has been and is uniquely suited to the need of all. That freedom which had its start at Independence Hall in Philadelphia continues to be our responsibility as heirs to the principles of this Declaration. We must continue to support honest law enforcement without any personal privileges or exceptions. If we demand free speech we must not supress it in others. If we wish our savings and property to be free from seizure, destruction or theft, we must zealously protect and secure these rights for every citizen. As Herbert V. Prochnow, former president, First National Bank of Chicago said, If you demand that the government of the people, by the people and for the people, you must exercise your right of franchise at the ballot box. If you demand that the government give you complete economic security, you must not forget that a nations greatest strength comes when each person to the best of his ability stand on his own feet and courageouly seeks to discharge his responsibilities. Freedom is everyones responsibility. free. And it isnt HOW DARE THEY! Well, they did it again! Congress has come up with another choice piece of legislation. Its a measure sent to the President this past week that will have four holidays fall on Monday each year. Proposals for this kind of manipulation have Christmas. If they desire to make another long weekend, why not just give everybody the day off, but leave Washingtons birthday where it is. Also, while contemplating the virtues of these why not ponder also the thousands of additional deaths that will occur on the highways and in other accidents. As for us, weve long since decided that the best place to be on a long weekend is home. A PILL The new 10 percent income tax surcharge approved last week has generally been greeted with mixed emotions. It was considered necessary to tighten the reins on the countrys racehorse economy with its inflationary spiral but a bitter pill because Uncle Sam has not been totally responsible in his management. Congressman Laurence J. Burton called his vote for the measure the most distasteful vote that I have cast since coming to the House of Representatives. He likened it to the swallowing of medicine, like it or not, necessary to help cure what ails us. Either we hike taxes or face a ruinous inflation. It is like asking the condemned to choose between hanging and shooting, he said. The administration with its economic tamperings, on again, off again, first tax cuts to spur the economy and now the increase to slow it down, leaves many of us confused. One thing the average citizen does know, however, is that his dollar is smaller than ever before. Editor, Southern Utah News City.

This subject continues to occupy the attention of the Congress and appears to be uppermost in the minds of many of our citizens. Congress has already passed, and the President has signed into law, the Safe Streets and Crime Control Bill, containing a section, significant firearms which (1) prohibits the interstate mail order sales of handgun; (2) permits sales of handguns only to residents of the state where the sale is made, and only to a person who is over 21 years of age; (3) outlaws the sale of any type of firearm to persons convicted of a felony, to mental incompetents; and to veterans with less than an honorable discharge. In addition, the law prohibits private possession of military-typ- e firearm such as bazooks, machine guns, mortar?, and anti tank d h er nected with thi- - organization nor approved of the'r motives, both above and below the surface. Mr. Crosby was right when he said it takes years to develop the service and facilities that Movie Companies need. And it seems that every time we accomplish that goal and start getting one production company after another, boosting our economy, someone, usually the same few men, deo'de they can handle it better and also save the unsuspecting populace from the scheming and conniving clutches of that dirty ol man, Fay Ham- guns. Congress is now considering legislation which would extend tlie tan on interstate mail order sales to include long guns, such as rifles and shotgun?, and to ammunition. I think that it is likely to pass both Houses of Congress. As you know, the President has recommended this legislation. Also pending in Congrers is another gun control bill, now favored by the President, which would require Federal registration of all firearms and prohibit possession of any gun not so registered. It appears to me that there will be considerable debate on the bill, and the chances of it passage are not nearly so likely a? the bill to prohibit interstate shipment of long guns and ammunition. I do not believe that Federal regisration of firearms is necessary or appropriate in an attempt to keep weapons out of the hands of incompetents and criminals. I believe that the been kicking around the halls of Congress for a number of years and now finally, a product has emerged from the legislative mill.

Now, in the matter of an organization to serve and entertain the Movie makers. This, I believe, is the function of the local Chamber of Commerce. But to date it has fallen on a few of us because there was always the underlying belief that to welcome them was to play right into Whits and Fays scheming Hands. I would have been more than happy to have had representatives from the Chamber of Commerce with me that Tuesday morning when I was all ready to meet 20th Century Fox at the airport and was informed, by telephone, that they were bypassing us because they had found that we had a Committee, and they disliked dealing with Committees because there weie tco many Chiefs and not enough Indians.

Truly Fay Hamblin Kanab, Utah Dear Friend: Thank you for advising me of your views on the subject of gun control legislation. I testified againt enactment of strict gun control laws at hearings of the House Judiciary Committee earlier in the present Congress. My position on ths matter remains the same.
