Show OREM-GENEVA TIMES Orem-Geneva Times Published every Thursday at Orem, Uiah M. NEFF SMART, Editor and Publisher CLYDE E. WEEKS JR.. Associate Editor Entered as second class matter November 19, 1944 at the postoffice at Orem, Utah, under the act of March 3, 1897. MEMBER: Utah State Press Association National Editorial Association Subscription Rates: One year, in advance $3.00 'DOG-GONED' GOOD LAW The new city ordinance concerning the requirements of do owners as to licensing and confinement was hailed here this week by many as a long needed law. Of course the licensing provisions are not substantially different than those of the former dog ordinance, but the other sections of the law are more comprehensive as far as restricting the freedom of man's best friend in Orem. Many dog owners feel that the terms of the ordinance ordin-ance are too harsh inasmuch as they require dogs to be kept on the owner's property at night. No doubt this requirement will entail considerable vigilance on the part of dog owners and possibly expenditures of money to provide appropriately restrictive quarters. The general welfare of the community is served better bet-ter by the new law. Vicious dogs are confined at all times under the law, and 'playful' dogs are kept from 'claying' in the neighbor's garbage can or garden at least during the night time. All dogs are licensed by the. city and the strays are rounded up and humanely disposed dis-posed of. Strict enforcement of the law will mean better relations relat-ions between neighbors and a safer community. WHAT PRICE PEACE? "Dear Congressman: "Every day more of our boys are being needlessly needless-ly killed and wounded in Korea to save face for generals gen-erals and politicians. "Ask President Truman to end the fighting in Korea and make peace with China. "BRING OUR BOYS HOME AND KEEP THEM HOME! Sincerely yours, (Srpn your name here and send to your Congressman.) The above text is quoted verbatum from a dramatically dramatical-ly imprinted post card being circulated now throughout through-out the United States by an organization known as the Emergency Conference on China and World Peace, 1186 Broadway, New York City. Heading the text of the post card, which is supposed to be signed by the recipient and sent to his Congressman, is a reproduction of a streamer headline from the Chicago Daily News: "MORE G.I.S ASK: WHY HAG ON IN KOREA?" Accompanying the post card is a letter urging the recipient re-cipient to assist in the program by reproducing the post card themselves and distributing them at every opportunity: oppor-tunity: in stores, churches, factories, etc. The letter urges: "The coming weeks will see vital decisions made on the issue of Korea. Despite tremendous sentiment expressed ex-pressed by the American people, of all political shades, from every part of the country, from every section of the people the Administration seems determined to save face for Gen. MacArthur. Congressmen can compel the reversal of the Administration policy and save the lives of hundreds, perhaps thousands, of American soldiers, and can avert the untold misery and destruction destruct-ion being wreaked upon the Korean people by the horrors of this war. Some expression of popular sentiment can convince these congressmen to take such action." We hope people will not be fooled by this "peace effort". eff-ort". However innocent it may apear, the fact is this: The Emergency Conference on China and World Peace is in reality a splinter of the notorious Peace Information Informat-ion Center which promoted the Stockholm "Peace" Petition Pet-ition inspired and circulated by the Communists.' The "Peace" Petition called for "the outlawing of atomic at-omic weapons as instruments of intimidation and mass murder of peoples and the branding of the first nation to use atomic weapons as a war criminal." Of course Russia wants President Truman to "Bring our boys home and keep them home." For only by that action can the Communists be assured of free rein in Korea and the rest of the world. Congressmen are not going to be taken in by this new false peace effort. Informed citizens will not knowingly know-ingly aid and abet the Communists, either. WHITHER BOUND?

It could be that the entire session, will run at the same pace as the first one-third of the 60-day grind- But with issues piling up on the calendars the way they are, considerable well-heated well-heated debate might well develop. devel-op. For instance, four different reopportionment bills have been introduced, two in each house, and a complete highway program pro-gram of the Utah Legislative Council including a raise of two cents in gas tax, is iu the Senate. Also, the schools have asked for an increase of $500, from $3300 to $3800, in the minimum min-imum classroom unit and for a ten-percent increase in the ceiling ceil-ing on taxes they may levy over ov-er and abope the minimum program. pro-gram. Also at issue is certain to be the biennially presented proposal pro-posal to refund taxes on motor fuel put to non-highway use, a measure that effects gas used in farm machinery. A good deal of the controversial controver-sial matter will be thrashed out by the appropriations commit-tte. commit-tte. Headed by Sen. Alonzo F. Hopkin (D-Woodruff) and Rep. W. G. (Bill) Larson (D-Magna). this committee faces a task of fitting department requests to estimated revenues-Certain revenues-Certain to influence the thinking think-ing are the figures presented by Gov. J, Bracken Lee in his budget message. He said general fund requests totaled more than $21,000,000, and that estimated revenues amount to $15. 095, 000, including the surplus of more than $3,000,000 carried over from the current biennium. Out of this he hewed a budget of a bit over $14,800,000. What the appropriations committee com-mittee may determine as estimated estim-ated revenues may be a quite different figure somewhat higher than the governor's and the appropriations, consequently consequent-ly higher than those recommended recommend-ed by the chief executive. But knowing of the governor's govern-or's veto power and his strong stand for a balanced budget, however, the committee undoubtedly un-doubtedly will attempt to keep the expenditures very close to estimated revenues. Action on reapportionment if it should come has the makings mak-ings of a red-hot rural-urban scrap in both houses. On the other hand, so wide a range is covered by the bills introduced-that introduced-that nothing may come of the question again this year. The constitution requires reapportionment reappor-tionment on the federal census each ten years, but the matter has been left alone since 1930. There are those who think the present apportionment could hardly be bettered and that the law might best be changed to meet the present numbers. That would mean that the four meas ures on the line would die a natural death. First to appear was a bill to reapportion on a basis of two senators for each senatorial dis trict (cutting five senators out of Salt Lake County), and representatives rep-resentatives on a basis of one for each 10,000 population, as of now. This measure was sponsored spon-sored by 11 rural senators all but one. Sen. Marl D. Gibson (D-Price). Five yrban senators were on a bill to reapportion the Senate on a basis of one for each 29,000 population, instead of the present pres-ent 27,000, and the House on a basis of one for each 12 000, instead in-stead of 10,000 as now. That would give Salt Lake County two more senators, Utah County Coun-ty and Weber County one more each. Salt Lake County would get four more representatives-Weber, representatives-Weber, Davis and Utah would get two more each, and Sanpete 'would lose one. Latest to appear were two bills in the House, one sponsor ed by 25 rural representatives and one by 26 Weber. Tooele. Salt Lake and Carbon representatives. represent-atives. The first would set up the Legislature with one senator senat-or from each county and representatives rep-resentatives on the present basis, bas-is, giving Sail Lake County eight new members, Oavis two, Carbon one, Weber and Utah three each, and removing one from Sanpete. The other bill calls for strict reapportionment on the present basis, providing three more senators for Salt Lake County, Weber and Utah counties one more senator each and would increase the representatives as in the aforementioned bill. At present outlook, it appears some sort of a compromise may be worked out on both the school fund hike request and the legislative council recommendation recommenda-tion to jump gas taxes and truck license fees. Given less chance of getting attention, however, are proposals of the governor picked in similar bills introduced introduc-ed by some House Democrats to lower income taxes by raising rais-ing exemptions, and to take the sales tax off food- Many legislators legisla-tors have expressed the opinion off the record tax decreases in these times are most difficult to secure and that it would be quite satisfactory if they just hold the line with no increases. About the only Senate action to show signs of bringing on some controversial debate was a brief flurry over a resolution of Sen. Mark Paxton (R-Fill- more) and Senator Hopkin to memorialize leaders of both , political parties in congress to forget their political differences and formuate a unified, clear-cut clear-cut foreign policy.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1951 To Shed Light on the World This Week THESE MEN HAD THIS TO SAY: I I "Fear of controls has caused most of . the inflation since last June. The vast majority of Americans do not need controls, and our experience with their stran! effect in the next few months will probably reveal their inadequacies as a solution for inflation.
