Show The Utah congressman reported re-ported there was increased interest in-terest in lowering the voting age to 18, with 35.5 per cent in favor of this proposition. "The distressing fact that drug abuse is on the increase in Utah as elsewhere brought an overwhelming number (91.4 ) in favor of an all-out war on this problem," Burton said. "And 67.8 per cent favor a portion of federal income tax money being returned to the states for local use." Concerning a proposed Increase In-crease in grazing fees .almost 50 per cent said they were not in favor. "But what surpirsed me is that almost 20 per cent had not made up their minds on this issue, which is so vital to our Utah livestockmen. "Other responses were similar simi-lar to views that have been expressed ex-pressed to me personally by many Utahns opposition to Red China's admission to the United Nations, the need for a federal law to help prevent strikes by public employees, etc.", Burton said. "What pleases me the most about this whole project is that so many of my constituents constitu-ents responded. In this day of general apathy across the nation, na-tion, it's good to know that so many Utahns are taking the time to think out today's problems prob-lems and take a position on them. And, naturally, it helps me make up my mind on key issues, knowing what the people of Utah want." REP. LAURENCE J. BURTON Over 11,600 Utahns responded to a questionnaire submitted to them by Rep. Laurence J. Burton Bur-ton (R-Utah), and indicated overwhelming ov-erwhelming opposition to a guaranteed annual income. "The people of Utah once again said, in effect, that they want to work for their pay, as 90.6 per cent responded 'no' to the question of a guaranteed guaran-teed income," Rep. Burton said. "And over three-fourths (76.6 , ) of those who responded are also against the rising tide of pornography which is infiltrating infiltra-ting our mails." On the subject of the Post Office itself, 63.6 per cent said they favored the transition of the Post Office Department into in-to a government-owned corporation corpor-ation to operate on a self-supporting basis. "Concerning the last-minute Johnson land-grab that expanded expand-ed the size of two of our south- ern Utah national monuments, nearly 74 per cent thought a President should not have this power." |
