Show toff pr mmikMm jfwrn National state, county offices to be filled, proposals voted on Citizens of Springville and Mapleton will go to the polls next Tuesday Nov. 8, to elect men to 16 major offices, from president of the United States to . a 2-year Utah county commissioner. Voters in this area, having no school board election this year, will have but one ballot to vote containing the names of national, state and county candidates, plus two constitutional constitu-tional amendments and one initiative in-itiative petition on which everyone ev-eryone should vote. The first amendment would amend the constitution to grant special powers to the legislature in the event of an emergency. Many citizens are against such an amendment from the fact that the legislature legisla-ture would have, in case thej amendment passed, too much power. The legislature would be in a position to decide what constituted an emergency, how long it wauld last and in effect ef-fect if it so desired, could in an extreme case decide when and if there would be another election. The second amendment would grant up to $3000 tax exemption to unmarried widows wi-dows and orphans of persons killed in action while in the military service of the U S. or of the state of Utah and exclude ex-clude from taxation tangible property exempt under laws of Utah. Again many believe the passing of such a law would give too much power to the legislature in deciding what should be excluded from taxation. Initiative petition No. 1 would establish a merit system sys-tem for qualification, employment employ-ment and tenure of office of deputy sheriffs. On the main ballot this year,- a presidential and vice-presidential vice-presidential candidate will appear ap-pear for a third party ,the Socialist So-cialist and Farmer Party. The names of only twe Springville men will appear on the ballott, those of Marvin Warren, incumbent member of the state legislature, who is running on the Democratic party ticket against LeRoy Tingey on the Republican. A former resident, Marcel-lus Marcel-lus Nielson, now of Spanish Fork and incumbent 2-year county commissioner, on the Democratic ticket, is running against Sterling Jones o f Spanish Fork for the 4-year commission job. Vice-president Richard M. Nixon and his running mate Henry Cabot Lodge will head the Republican candidate list on the ballot against John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson John-son on the Democratic side. Other candidates are as follows: fol-lows: For representative in Congress, Sherman P.
