MEMBER: Utah Slate Preu Auociaiion Subscription Ratesi One year, in advance 300 BARGAIN OF THE YEAR The tax dollar chart which is exhibited at the office of the county treasurer this week induced a little research regarding the destiny of the $U0 which we have been invited to contribute to the coffers this year. The study has nearly convinced us that itH be about the best-invested money we'll spend. The county treasurer tells us that in Orem 49 percent of the dollar, or about $50 of my total, goes to the support sup-port of schools. That's something like 14 cents per day. (Anyone who has children in school is getting the bargain bar-gain of his life.) We wish we could employ baby sitters at the same rate. The city spends 36 percent, or about $40 of the money. Orem spends it something like this: 16 percent of it is needed to pay off the mayor, city councilmen, treasurer, recorder and other administrative officers, along with election expenses, sanitation, street lights and recreational recreat-ional expenses. Ten percent of the city's share goes to employ em-ploy the police officers, patrolmen, poundkeeper and Justice of the peace. The upkeep and building of city roads costs me 25 percent of the portion the city gets, the fire department costs 14 percent, the cemetery and parks get eight percent, and debt service (that's interest we're paying on public improvements that we don't own yet) costs 15 percent of the city's share. All the city services I'm getting for nine cents per day. County officials get to spend about $13 of the $110 that I contribute. That goes on county roads, sheriff's department, to pay the commissioners and courts, county welfare, etc. In what city or county can you get more for $110 per year? 100,000 RUSSIANS WHO UNDERSTAND US "The collossal expenditure of energy and resources re-sources on armaments that is an outstanding feature of many national budgets today does not solve the problem of world peace. Perhaps even a fraction of that outlay in other ways and for other purposes will provide a more enduring basis for peace and happiness." The words are those of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, India's premier, in a speech at Columbia University last week. During his talk he also called for "imaginative "imaginat-ive statesmanship" and an acceptance of the fact here that power is more than military and economic. In a world struggle, power i3 also ideological and moral. It seems to us that very little by way of "imaginative "imaginat-ive statemanship" has been offered by western leaders during the past 50 years. We seem to go, continually, down the well-worn roads of militarism and national defense which lead to trouble. Perhaps the imagination must come from the grass roots. From those who aren't preoccupied each day with the expediency of this move or that countermove in order to keep the world situation carefully balanced. Anyway, here's our "think piece" for today. It's the way we'd spend some of the $5 billion which we now send abroad to "keep the peace :" Free scholarships plus living expenses in the American Amer-ican university of his choice, for any healthy Russian, man or woman under 25, who has learned to read and write English. Expensive? Not very, in terms of the $5 billion. Fantastic? Certainly, but so is the atomic bomb and radar and the iguided missle. and our other efforts to prepare ourselves militarily to keep the peace. Dangerous? Not very, we think. If a four-year course in an American university doesn't have converting power for our system, then perhaps we should do a little soul-searching ourselves. And, in any case, the program we are now embarked on is something less than safe. Effective? It might well be. Whether or not Stalin forbids them to come, thousands will begin to learn English, just in hopes. That alone would be a long step in the right direction. Thousands, we feel, might defy Stalin should he forbid, in order to avail themselves of the opportunity to assess western civilization against Russian. The move could hardly be considered an act of war, It might even start a precedent. What would you give, friends in Russia? today, for 100 thousand Scera Acknowledges Gifts of Flowers The Scera management and staff wish to acknowledge through the OrenvGeneva Times the many gifts of beautiful flowers flow-ers which have been brought to the theatre during the past season. sea-son.

Sen. ROBERT A. TAFT before be-fore the United Nations association Monday. ' "Americans must learn that information is today an important arm of national policy, comparable only with military and economic policy.

To the Editor: Dear Sir: A petition was circulated and the required signatures obtained to have my name placed on the ballot, for mayor of the city of Orem, in the forthcoming election. elect-ion. I deeply appreciate the evident evid-ent intent of those good folks who signed this petition, but I have requested that it not be filed fil-ed with the City Recorder. It is unfortunate that my supporters, in their impetuous enthusiasm, did not consult me prior to the obtaining of the signatures. sig-natures. I am perfectly satisfied with the choice of the Citizens Party for mayor of this city, Mr. A. A. Richards, and I am taking this opportunity to ask all my friends to vote for him. Sincerely, Bill Baker 95 of all hauling jobs can be done with Chevrolet Advance -Design trucks lift viTi Squint Miller, who's working as a telephone lineman, was telling me about some birds that got into a fight with his company. Seems a couple of woodpeckers set up housekeeping in a telephone pole. Nobody minded them living there, but they kept pecking at the wires causing one short circuit after another. Finally, the telephone people who had nothing personal against the birds just stopped np the hole where they lived. But they kept coining back. At last, the company donated that pole to the woodpeckers woodpeck-ers and set up a brand-new one for their own use ! From where I sit, we'd all be better bet-ter off if we were as tolerant with our own kind as 'that telephone outfit was with the woodpeckers.
