Because of the renewed emphasis upon the State Auditor in disbursement and pre-aud- it caused by the recent Supreme Court ruling ( Preece v.

Propaganda The renewed emphasis upon the State Auditor in and claims the State disbursing against is propaganda that has been conjured up to deceived and brainwash legislators and the voters. It is not founded on fact; it is not in the law, nor is it the voice of the Supreme COURT IN THE Preece v. Rampton decision. The facts are perfectly clear, but the CRC 1, chooses to ignore Section Utah Code Annotated, which pre-auditi- ng 62-2-2- it of claims assigns the against the State to the Department of Finance, also, the language of the Supreme Court's opinion of March 1, 1972 which upheld the pre-aud- duties of the Department of Finance to be constitutional. The court said: Duplication By our decision we did not intend to affect the work of the Department of Finance in any manner other than to require it to present the approved claims and vouchers to the State Auditor for his approval and present-meto nt the State Treasurer . The Supreme Court further stated that as far as claims against the State are concerned, they are the duty of the bookkeeper. The Department of Finance. The Court also said that it could not conceive of an auditor who would ignore the calculations of his bookkeeper and undertake to duplicate all work theretofore done for his benefit. The former State Auditor did, however, ignore the calculations of his bookkeeper by duplicating the work w hich was being done for his benefit b the Department of Finance. Evidence of this is indicated in the following schedule of the Auditor's costs, which includes S 2,500 for the printing of envelopes and warrants which the 1 Department of Finance was obligated to provide: 1,867.00 i Duty Since the legal duty of the Department of Finance is to preaudit claims against the State, and, it since the function is now the constitutional duties of the auditor, Legislative appointed w hat are the duties of the expanded State Auditor? it post-aud- The Whole chicanerous scheme was to nullify the effectiveness and independency of the State Auditor, w hich was partly accomplished by the passing of Constitutional Amendment No. I in the November 1972 General Election. Had the Consolidation of Funds Act of 1965 been implemented in full, the State's accounting and auditing functions would have been within the guidelines of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, Auditing Standards and Internal Control adopted by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. What have we got now? Loss of Independence A system of accounting and reporting which docs not reflect the true financial position and results of operations, the State Auditor duplicating the work of his bookkeeper, signing State warrants, State agencies and now to add another insult, the CRC is recommending that .the State Auditor sit on the Board of post-auditi- ng Examiners to authorize and approve routine claims against the State. Under these circumstances conflicts of interests' are inev- itable. internal control JENKINS is sacrificed, and the professional independent State Auditor is forced to violate the ethics of his accounting profession. There is no way that he can retain his independency by sitting on a board with members who head departments he must audit, and under the control of a majority who decides policy and approves major contracts and expenditures.

Let me now briefly discuss what is contained in Beyond Freedom and Dignity , Skinners book. I am not, of course, a literary scholar nor am 1 a trained psychologist, but for seven years I headed, the Special Subcommittee on Invasion of Privacy within the Committee on Government Operations and we studied and explored many similar academic proposals and attitudes. Indeed, our very first set of hearings in 1965 was on psychological tests, and we learned a very important fact: to prove you were adjusted, you had to prove it on the terms of psychologists who created the tests.

He proposes, quite simply, to choose what is decent behavior and then to reinforce it by rewards and, should that not be totally successful, he would then punish negative behavior. A question, of course, Who is to leaps to mind: decide what is decent behavior? Obviously, this choice is not to be left to the democratic political system, because it is based on such outmoded concepts as freedom and dignity. No, it will be an elite, composed s of of Dr. Skinner, who will make this choice so absolutely essential to our future. And yet we permit 283,000 of Americans tax dollars to be used to advance ideas which seem to me to contain the seeds of our own destruction. -- The Fact Finder mirror-image- re you TooKing to Buy or sell Investment Property We might have what you want.!

Did the CRC express your view? Did it express the opinion of the Utah Supreme Court when it recommended the significant change in the makeup of the Board of Examn: iners? It did not. Here is its 487-- ! Stand Christianity Today carried an editorial recently about the homosexuals gaining acceptance. In the next issue was a letter from a homosexual. He said, As a Christian and a homosexual I am greatly disturbed by your preparing for the ministry, editorial . . . Then he said, I am a Christian, a homosexual, and a Baptist, and I do not find anything grotesque, unnatural and sinful about loving a man and having sexual relations with him. If this pervert would read the Bible, he would see what was Mosaic law said, If a wrong with it. In Leviticus 20:13, the man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. That command that the death penalty be enforced upon homosexuals goes with the command in verse 10, And the man that committeth adultery with another mans wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbors wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death. There are also other commands forbidding sex perversions. Verse 15 says, And if. a man lie with a beast, he shall surely be put to death; and ye shall slay the beast. In I Kings 25:11,12, God commends good King Asa as follows: And Asa did that which was right in the eyes of the Lord, as did David his father. And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his father had made. It is not simply a ceremonial law that is violated by these sodomites; it was sin along with idolatry; it was a wicked sin against God. Homosexuals are called sodomites because the wicked perverts of Sodom so wicked that God had ordained the utter destruction of the city tried to break into Lot's house to rape the two angels who had been sent to warn him and get him out of the city. Genesis 19:4,5 says: But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter: and called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? Bring them out unto us, that we may know them. Then the wicked perverts sought to attack Lot; however, they were blinded by the angels, and the next morning were totally destroyed. So now everywhere in the English language called sodomites. these sex In the first chapter of Romans we learn that after the flood the race turned away from God and from divine revelation to heathendom; and so the world came into being. And why? Romans 1:24-2- 8 says. Vherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves: who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections; for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature; and likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with njen working that which is unseemly and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient. Note that the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another, and all this was because they did not like to retain God in their knowledge. Verse 29 explains: Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of And envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers... verse 32 says of these sex perverts, Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in perverts-homosexuals- -are them that do them. Are the homosexuals sick? No more than others who give themselves to lewdness and lust; no more than adulterers; no more than those who give themselves to dope, to gambling, to drunkenness. All of it is the fruit of a wicked rejection of God. It is folly for anybody to claim to serve God and yet be a sex pervert. A Christian may fall into such sin, but it is still a deadly, wicked sin with the curse of God upon it. God can help anybody to have self control; to not become involved in adultery or rape, or homosexual sins. To be enslaved by passion and habit is terrible, but God can give relief when people desire to act in the right manner. And decent people everywhere ought to scorn and hate sex perversion, even as we try to save those who are guilty. -- The Sword of the Lord Courage is the best gift of all; courage stands before everything. It is what preserves our liberty, safety, life, and our homes and parents, our country and children. Courage comprises all things; a man with courage has every blessing. - Titus Maccius Plautus |
