Show Oct. 22, 1976 Signpost Page 7 Candidates for governor speak on issues Gubernatorial candidates spoke here Wed., Oct. 20, and outlined their platforms for election in November. Vernon Romney, representing the Republican ticket, outlined what the governor should do during the next four years ahead. Outlining a procedure for meaningful and worthwhile jobs in Utah, Romney said there shouldn't be a job market concentration only in the urbanized areas of Utah. "The job market should be situated throughout the state," he said. Romney says the next governor is going to have to stand up to the federal government in Washington, D.C. Romney emotionally charged the federal government with "making federal colonies out of the sovereign states." Great Salt Lake Emphasizing the Great Salt Lake case he has worked upon, Romney stresses the inland body of salt water has the potential to be fully exploited. He says the lake can be fully exploited in "our lifetime" and could possibly yield $50 to $100 billion in royalties for Utah. Romney wants to improve the operation of state government. He expresses that this can be accomplished by a commission formed of professionals to make an in-depth study of state government. He also advocated enactment of the Sunset Law for Utah. . Continue Attack Romney says he will continue to attack the bulk of paperwork presently being done in Utah. He claims Utah is spending $3 million a day at the present time in paperwork alone. Scott Matheson, Democrat, was represented by his son, Scott Matheson, Jr. The younger Matheson outlined the campaign procedures his father has used during the past. He said there was the original question as to how they would make Scott Matheson known to the residents of The Beehive State. Focusing Matheson Outlining what he claims was a conscious and conservative attempt to bring Matheson into focus for the upcoming elections, Matheson, Jr., said his father took a traditional approach issuing statements and releases different from the standard ones used by other candidates. Matheson said the Democratic camps had accomplished more research, initiated more policies and procedures, and they are involved in an "era of fiscal . responsibility.' "The governor should take full responsibility and carry through with that responsibility," said Matheson when he outlined the duties of chief of state. Youngest Bar President Matheson was accredited with having a solid Utah background. He was the youngest president to be elected by the Utah State Bar Association, pointed out his son. Matheson spotlighted subjects about the Union Station in Ogden and the educational system of Utah. He said his father supported and did lobbying efforts to get the station rennovated in Ogden. Stressing that one-half of the state's budget is spent on education, Matheson said that he feels more support should be given to institutions of higher learning outside the Salt Lake City area. Vocational Emphasis An emphasis on vocational education was placed before the audience. "A strong commitment to education will be kept by Matheson," said Matheson, Jr. Scott Matheson will be at Weber State this Saturday. Dr. L.S. Brown represented the American Party candidate. According to him, the first issue was to determine the constitutional duties and limitations. He also claimed this should be contrasted with what is necessary and unnecessary. Brown claims that the state is a "satellite of the Federal Government." He wants to identify the "pseudo-expenditures."According to Brown, the Federal Government spent $30 million in Seveir County in 1974. The assessed valuation of Seveir County is $19 million. He claimed the government is out of hand and . that the nation is facing bankruptcy. "We are selling out to the socialistic system," he declared. The federal government owns 70 per cent to 80 per cent of Utah's land and energy. "How can you run a program for it if the decisions aren't made in Utah?" he asked. Taxes illegal "Taxes are illegal," stated Brown. He said that the national income taxes constitute 42 per cent of the federal treasury. He i Photo.

"The state budget could be well-operated without income taxes" said Brown. "However, to be effective, the play to eliminate income taxes "needs to take place simultaneously" across the nation. A proposed Liberty amendment would make the necessary provisions. It would repeal the federal income tax laws and prohibit the federal government from entering into business competition against private businesses. This would, according to Brown, defend the rights of the DeoDle.
