Mrs. Emma Davis, Stake Young women's leader, was in charge of the entire camp and did an excellent job. It was a most memorable camping experience.

For years the members of the National Federation of Independent Inde-pendent Business has advocated advo-cated participation in the elec tion process as a main corner- , stone of liberty and freedom. But now there is a proposal before the Congress to make it possible for people to register as voters by postcard. The NFIB has not polled its members mem-bers on this subject. However, this would seem to raise some questions. To become be-come registered as a voter Is not the most consuming, or arduous ar-duous task that an Individual must face in this life. As a matter of fact, It is usually fairly simple. If people are permitted to register by postcard, would this not further erode the importance im-portance that people place on the election tranchise? After all, the backbone of a free election system Is an Informed In-formed electorate. If people wiil (National Federation of Indeper not take the trouble to register, it can also be asked if they will take the trouble to inform themselves on the Issues and the candidates. Perhaps a better answer to voter apathy would be for legislative leg-islative bodies to be a little more constructive, and a little more active in supplying the people with efficient, and economical econ-omical government. Throughout a long span of history people have fought and died for the right to vote. In parts of the world this struggle continues even today, and will probably continue as long as mankind exists. Thus it would seem to be a backward step to permit people peo-ple to register to vote via the postcard route. Self-government by the people peo-ple should require some effort on the part of the people. And perhaps the reason there Is voter apathy is that many people peo-ple do not feel that they are being be-ing represented by their elected representatives. Thus, while encouraging people to vote Is laudatory, perhaps politicians should look Inward, and not outward, for the reasons for the current voter apathy. ident Business |
