Show Sept. Utah Farm Bureau News Page 4 Cash ForFarmCandidates Bureau July TTie issue of News reviewed the major issues which will be of importance to farmers in the approaching election and session of the legislature. Each Farm Bureau member should become acquainted with these issues and discuss them with candidates. Your decision as to voting preference will be based on the candidates support of the programs you believe in. County Farm Bureaus should hold some sort of a formal session with each candidate to review policy and get the candidates commitment of support needed. Now the real facts of life tell us that it is hardly fair to the candidate for us to expect him to do so much for us and we do nothing for him. His first big job is to get elected. This takes time and money. Farm bureau believes that all members should do three filings: 1. Pick the candidates you want to support. Do this by matching what the candidate stands for with the things you want done. 2. Help in the campaign. Talk to friends, pass out literature, call on phone and do anything you can to help. 3. Contribute some cash. Our modem means of communication are very expensive. A campaign costs a bunch of money. This is our democratic system. A governor candidate may spend as much as candidate for Congress from $40,000 to $75,000; a county $100,000; commissioner from a few hundred to several thousand dollars; a candidate for the legislature from several hundred to more than a thousand dollars. Most candidates do not have the funds to pay for this cost. They must depend on help from friends. Again let us make it plain that politics is a two-wa- y street. We cannot expect to receive all the favors without giving a little. You will note a contribution blank in this paper. Clip it out. Send a small contribution to each of your chosen candidates and we will see that it is properly distributed. We are told that horse race fans get more excitement out of a horse race if they have some money invested. The same principle applies here. If you help a friend to the finish line, your government will take on a new look. YOUR ESTATE By John S. Young, CLU Director Of Agencies Country Mutual Editors Note: Information in this column is in no way intended as legal advice or as specific recommendations. Any legal question involving your estate should be directed to an attorney of your choice. HOW ABOUT YOUR WILL? I have had several requests to repeat a former column concerning what happens if you die. without making a valid will. Therefore, to illustrate the disastrous results of doing nothing, the following is a reprint of a will as it might read based upon the laws of decent of a typical state. The law in your particular state may vary slightly. However, in general, this is the way your will will read if you fail to take the necessary steps to have one prepared by your attorney. MY LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT E. When our son becomes 21, he can do whatever he pleases with his share of my estate, and F. No one, including my widow, shall have the right to question the way our children spend their money. 3. Should my wife predecease me, or die while any of my children are minors, I do not wish to exercise my right to nominate the guardian of my children. A. Rather than nominate a guardian of my preference, I direct my relative and friends to get together, and select a guardian by mutual consent; B. In the event they fail to agree on a guardian, I direct the probate court to make the selection. If the court wished, it may appoint a stranger acceptible to it. 4. If my widow remarries, her next husband A. Shall receive one-thir-d of all widows my property; B. Need not spend any of his share on our children, even if they need support, and C. Can give his share to anyone he chooses, without giving apenny to our children. 5. Under existing tax law, there are certain legitimate avenues open to me to lower death rates; since I prefer to have my money used for governmental purposes rather than for the benefit of my widow and children, I direct that no effort be made to lower taxes.

Please allocate my contribution as follows: to State Republican Party $ to State Democratic Party to American Independent Party $ $ Total Contribution I would appreciate having my name added to the list to be presented to my respective candidate choices. It is understood that the contribution amounts will not be publicized. County Signed If you care to be anonymous you may choose not to sign above. Anyone contributing $100 or more should sign as the law requires us to report such contribution to the proper state and federal agency. Should you desire to make a contribution to a candidate for President of the United States you may sent it to this address. We must report name of donor and amount to the candidate's state office. . . As a result of the new campaign expense law, it is inadvisable for a group of persons to take up a collection to spend in behalf of any candidate for congress or the President. This would get the candidate into trouble, as he must account for every penny spent. For this reason, all contributions must be spent by and accounted for, by the central committee for the candidate. $ .
