They A DEMOCRACY perpetuate themselves in their jobs, favor free federal enterprise over enterprise, and think the government has the answer to everyone's problems. Mr. McKell said a high percentage of the voters who rejected the state land use bill were confused and didnt understand, and inferred that the bill would not have restrained the private rights of individuals. The truth is that the citizens of this state did and do understand and are sick of more government regulations. They know the government is the cause of more and more problems rather than having answers to problems. Now about regional and Mr. McKells national wants. Institute for Land Rehabilitation at Utah State University was funded with a $192,000.00 federal grant from HUD, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, to make the citizens of the State of Utah accept their land use planning. If it was really state planning, why do you supj - .f ;$ . pose thefederalgovernmentwas so concerned as to give that much money to. make you do it? Remember that on June 1 1th this the United Nations year Conference on Human Settlement in Vancouver, B.C. the United States delegation, headed by Secretaiy of the same HUD Carla Hills, favored sharp restrictions on the private ownership of property by taking the position that private land ownership causes social injustice and if unchecked may become a major obstacle in planning. When we also consider the objective of the at self-declar- ed regionalism concept of enterprise or of the independent business man? Even more important, is it in compliance with the Constitution of the United States of America? We need a few honest elected men in government to pull us out of the regional monster government we have all been sucked into. No resolution was ever passed by a County Board of Commissioners that could not be rescinded in the same way. Lets get out from under the thumb of regulatory agencies that are not even elected by us, yet have executive, legislative and judicial power over us. While we keep our heads in the sand saying it isnt so, we arc most dangerously exposed. Bcwarc land use planners who say their regulations will not restrain private rights of individuals!

The most grievous example of such alteration involves the most basic human right. ..the Right to Life. The 13,000 women who attended the state meeting resoundingly rejected any attempts to make the Right to Life conditional, different for different classes of people. We overwhelmingly supported Senator Jake Gams Right which to Life Amendment, abolishes abortion while permitting procedures necessary to prevent maternal death. But 12 of our 14 delegates compromised that right. That same 12 completely omitted mention of the Right to Life Amendment.
