Show Page Three October 15, SOUTHERN UTAH NEWS, Kanab, Utav 1970 Federal fish planting at Lake Powell will increase in 1971 WASHINGTON Federal fish planting in Utah will increase dramatically in 1971, in part due to the greatly expanded capacity of Federal hatcheries following the inaugural operation this year of the Jones Hole Fish Hatchery near Vernal, Sen. Wallace F. Bennett, reported this week. The Utahn was a chief sponsor of legislation more than a decade ago that authorized construction of the Jones Hole facility. It has a capacity of 300,000 pounds of fish three times that of the one other Federal hatchery in Utah, located at Springville. Because of an acute shortage the West due to a virus diseae that destroyed the eggs produced by the major Federal supplier, the Federal government did not plant trout in its principal Utah recipient Lake Powell during 1970, Sen. Bennett said. of rainbow trout eggs in However, the chief of the Division of Fish Hatcheries of the Fish and Wildlife Service assures me that the planting scheduled for next year will more than make up for the loss in 1970, he added. In 1969, 270,000 trout were and DAVIS GIFT West Center - planted by the Division of Fish Hatcheries in Lake Powell. The Federal government plans to stock about 750,000 in Lake Powell in 1971, most of which will be planted in April and May. The Senator noted that most of the trout stocked in Utah lakes, rivers and streams is done by the State government. According to the latest report available, the State of Utah stocked 7,246,000 trout in 1967 and he explained. 7,698,000 in 1968, In contrast, the Federal government stocked 1,500,000 trout in Utah waters in 1969. Sen. Bennett said most fish planted in Utah are fingerlings about four inches long, with catchables of about eight inches comprising the balance. On reservoirs, such as Lake Powell and Flaming Gorge, fingerlings are planted because there they will have plenty of food necessary for growth, the Senator said. Other Federal planting in Utah is concentrated on the States Indian reservations especially the Uintah and Ouray Reservation and other waters traversing Federal property.

The Box Elder resource committee told the group RC&D programs are designed for multicounty areas to develop their natural resources. Low interest loans and grants are made available to assist sponsor finance projects. Cities, counties, agencies, and other groups submitted 210 project applications at the inception of their project in 1967, it was reported. Forty-fiv- e projects have been completed and are in operation, 15 are being installed, and 49 have planning underway. Each RC&D committee member testified enthusiastically their project was successful, and they estimated the completed projects will increase the gross annual income of the area by $2,354,000. The most active projects are for irrigation water development, but many public facility projects such as for sewerage and culinary installations are underway. Interest has been shown for recreational facilities and range improvements. Mr. Pearson stated the possibility of establishing an RC&D Proy area ject in the which includes Kane, Garfield, Iron, Washington and Beaver counties, has been considered for some time and the purpose of this meeting was to get a firsthand understanding of the organization and operation of an RC&D project. Five-Count- co Page Three Foundation explains three proposed Amendments (In an effort to help local citizens become more informed about the proposed amendments to Utahs the Constitution Southern Utah News includes this brief about them for your consideration.) La-N- meet at Brigham City 15, 1970 Proposed amendments to the Constitution of the State of Utah which will appear on a special ballot in the November general election, are outlined in a research brief released this week by Utah Foundation. In accordance with established custom, the Foundation, a private public service agency, dose not take a stand for or against any of the proposals, but offers factual material for the information of voters. The research brief presents the language in which each proposition will appear the ballot, explains what the result of its adoption would be, and outlines some of the principal arguments for and against each of the proposals. Three proposals for constitutional amendment will appear on the 1970 special ballot. In the 1968 general election there were five proposals and all were adopted. In 1966 seven proposals for specific amendment, and one proposal for the calling of a Constitutional Convention, were all rejected. non-prof- it Proposition No. 1 is the Gateway Amendment, which would permit the revision of an entire section of the Constitution by a single amendment. At present a separate amendment is required for each subject treated, whether or not two or more are embodied in the same section of the Constitution. Under the proposed amendment, changes in other sections of the Constitution and the statutes which would be directly affected by the revision of a Section could be effected in the single amendment. Proposition No. 2 would reduce from one year to six months the requirement for residence in the state of Utah as a prerequisite to voting. Residence requirement in the county where the vote would be reduced to sixty days (from ninety days), and the existing requirements for having been a citizen for ninety days and a resident of the voting precinct for sixty days would be abolished. In presidential elections, a citizen could vote for a President and Vice President, but not for other candidates, on proof of thirty days residence in the state. It is expected that the United States Supreme Court will rule on a recently-passelaw lowering the voting age to eighteen years and making other changes in voter qualification in all states, d before the November election. The Federal law, if upheld, wouM directly affect the Section of the Utah Constitution which Proposition No. 2 would amend, so the status of this proposal is somewhat in doubt, the Foundation points out. Proposition No. 3 would permit Utah income tax laws to define rates, amounts, or procedures by reference to Federal tax laws. Exceptions to Federal provisions could also spcifically be made by reference, and there would be no copying of Federal laws unless the Utah Legislature specifically so directed. The Utah Foundation Brief also outlines a procedure which will be used for the first time this year on the judicial ballot. When an incumbent Supreme Court Justice or a District Judge who is up for reelection has an opponent, the procedure will be the same as in the past. However, when an incumbent has no opponent, his name will appear on the ballot and voters will have an opportunity to vote to retain him in office or to reject him, on the basis of his record. Judges who have performed satisfactorily are expected to be retained, but voters would have an opportunity to reject any whose record or conduct in office was deemed to be unsatisfactory.
