All of the conventional wisdom centers around either putting down as much as you can or as little as the lender allows. If you put down a large payment, you get some leverage with the U nder: little or no mortgage insurance, a good equity position, and perhaps a preferred mortgage deal. You will also have lower mortgage payments. A disadvantage of a large down payment is that you will be using after tax dollars on which you could be earning interest. You will also have less tax-deductible interest. The advantages of a low down payment are not insignificant. You will have more tax deductible interest, and your investment value percentage will increase faster. Contrary to the effects of a large down payment, you will have little equity at the outset, and your payments (and perhaps your intea-st) will be higher. You will also keep more of your own money in hand to potentially earn more interest in other investments. 1 or ruck solid advice on buying or selling real estate, call Craig Reece at 435-647-K017 or toll fa at 1-800-553-4666.

Chris Cannon co-sponsors forced-dues repeal In a new sign of the growing support sup-port for Right to Work in the U.S. Congress, another Utah congressman, congress-man, Chris Cannon, has joined fellow fel-low Utah Republican James Hansen in backing a bill that would repeal the federal labor-law provisions provi-sions that authorize the firing of employees for refusal to pay dues to a union. Paying heed to the many Right to work supporters among their constituents, on Feb. 12, Cannon and three other legislators signed on to H.R. 1109, the National Right to Work Act, bringing the total sponsorship spon-sorship to 87. Under current federal labor law, millions of employees can be fired unless they continue paying dues or "fees" to union officials. H.R. 1109 would bar such firings. "We are hoping for congressional congression-al floor votes on this much needed reform," said Reed Larson, president presi-dent of the Springfield, Va.-based National Right to Work Committee. "President Bush and the leaders of both chambers of Congress are all on record in favor of forced-dues repeal," he explained. Larson urged congressional leaders to schedule roll-call votes on H.R. 1109 as soon as possible. "Nearly eight out of 10 Americans support ending the fed erally imposed forced-dues system, and returning to workers a right that never should have been taken away in the first place," he noted. A recent opinion survey by PoliticalMedia Research Inc. (Mason-Dixon), for example, showed that 77 percent of Americans support employees' Right to Work whether or not they choose to affiliate with a union. "Compulsory unionism robs-American robs-American workers of their freedom, corrupts our political system, and saps our economy of productivity and jobs," added Larson. According to the U.S. Labor Department, between 1969 and 1999, non-farm employment in the 21 states that now have Right to Work laws grew by 54 percent, compared com-pared to just 37 percent in the 29 states that don't protect employees from federally-imposed forcedi union dues. . N "Now that they have a pro-Right to Work President in the White House, congressional leaders should- '' seize this opportunity to hold roll-'t call votes on legislation that would'" restore a basic freedom to American " workers, " Larson concluded. -' 1 For more information about the' National Right to Work Act, cbn- tact John Tate at (703) 321-9820,-" ext. 2203.
