BRIDGELAND D.U.P. To Meet October 14th CLIFF MEMMOTT, Editor w .... GENERAL ELECTION IS ONLY A MONTH AWAY YOU HAVE A PATRIOTIC RESPONSIBILITY '. f In exactly thirty-thre- e days Mr. and Mrs. American Citizens, the voters of this county, state and nation, will go to the polls to choose county, legislative and congresto guide our political destinies sional representatives through the years ahead. It definitely is not too early to begin reminding ourselves that we can help decide just who will be in those offices. Lets start next Tuesday, OCTOBER FIFTH with checkthe ing registration rolls to make sure we are ready to vote thats the first of three remaining registration days before the general election on Nov. 2. You can be a good neighbor and remind those who live near you to also check upon themselves. The opposing political parties are squaring off for the big campaign that will be waged the next four weeks. We should hear what they have to say, then make up our minds which man, regardless of party, is best fitted for the job, then get out and support him on election day. Two other tremendously important issues are on the ballots this fall The Reapportionment of our state legislators, and the Junior College question. We should study the issues, then stop and ponder just which turn of the events will affect me, a small town resident. Im sure when this is done, we will be pretty much united on one of the two questions and will vote in favor of the Reapportionment amendment. I have made up my mind on the other issue, but will wait awhile to express myself in this column. The column running weekly in our paper, Under The Capitol Dome, is being published to' give an impartial analysis of political problems for our readers information and pleasure. This weeks discussion is on reapportionment, and could be valuable In answering some of the questions you have on your mind. I would welcome any opinions and ideas any of our readers might care to submit on these issues, and assure you if they conform to our editorial policies, they will be published.

But there is a bright side less of size, the main stress would be on population, with even in this preponderance of Salt Lake, Weber, Utah and voters who' might ordinarily be suspected as being pretty much, by and large, opposed to any such proposal as the suggested amendment. To get this amendment on the ballot, for the vote of tire people, it took the votes of 40 representatives and 16 senators, s a majority of each house. The proposition got 45 votes, to 11 opposing, in the House. It got 16 with 7 opposing in the Senate. Out of those 45 House votes, 15 were from Weber, Salt Lake, Davis and Utah counties. Ip the Senate, (8) of the sixteen votes came from senators from the four largest counties, populatiomwise. And, another thing, every voter should remember that this proposal this fall marks the first time since 1931 that any positive action has ever been taken on this issue by a state legislature. This is an issue which obviously must be studied carefully by every Utahn. It has its bad points and its good ones. There will be plenty said and written on the subject between now and Nov. 2.

They may also purchase an extra doe tag at one of the two established checking stations for the hunt if they wish to take a second animal. The extra tag does not count as a special license, according to board ruling. Generally rough country, this unit is a critical problem area. Field reports show the herd to be in numbers far beyond the carrying capacity of the available range. Board action in setting this early shoot was based upon the need to' take a more equitable harvest; of deer from the area.
