Show All one party Dear Jack: I grew up in the Ashley Valley always being taught in school and in church that this great country of ours has become the greatest nation to have ever existed on the earth. This being due in part to the checks and balances of our Democratic form of government, whether it is the relationship between the president, congress and the judicial branch or the two party system, don't we? We would only find one party rule in communist, fascist, and dictatorially ruled countries, wouldn't we? Then why is it the residents of Uintah County practice and continually support sup-port one party rule? All of the county's elected officials are members of the Republican party. These being the three county commissioners, sheriff, clerk-auditor, assessor, recorder, treasurer, attorney and surveyor. Throughout history one party rule has invited corruption and exploitation of the masses. I'm confused! Why don't we practice what we preach? PERRY MACE |
