Associale EdUor Entered as second class matter November 19. 1944 al 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 ON PAYING OUR OWN WAY For 103 years the people of Utah Valley have lived in an environment which has not required that they concern con-cern themselves with the disposal of sewage. During all those years in nearly every community here the process of sewage disposal has been the simple process of pouring pour-ing the raw sewage into convenient streams or letting it seep into the ground no expense! And for these 103 years we have been (getting away with it. Now comes the cold fact of the matter, and a realization realiz-ation that such practices are destroying our heritage. Our system, though inexpensive, is a threat to our health and to our economy. It spoils the streams and our lake. It destroys fishing and bathing and boating and hunting. It is destroying our valley as a place to live. If we are to continue to live here in health and comfort, com-fort, we must take care of our wastes. Sewage disposal has become one of the prices we must pay for living in this choice valley. Like water to drink, or electric-ty, electric-ty, or gas, it must now be considered as an operating cost. It is gratifying that Orem is taking the lead in an acceptance of this concept. At Tuesday's public hearing on proposals for a county-wide program for sewage disposal, dis-posal, there was a unamimous feeling that Orem and the entire county must accept willingly the taxation which will be required to finance the construction of sewage treatment and disposal plants. We pay for our roads, our police protection, our water and our electricity as operating costs. So must we pay for the disposal of our wastes. It is grossly unfair to permit our wastes to pollute this valley, and expect some future generation to rehabilitate it at tremendous cost. We'll pay our own way. WHERE IS LIBERTY? No one needs a rebirth of freedom more than Americans Amer-icans today. We are being educated for world citizenship. citizen-ship. Yet we are mortally afraid of sharing democracy, our prized possession. The greatest of prophets said, "Go into all the world and make disciples of all nations." Perhaps we have a parallel here in Jonah's fear. His refusal to go to Nineveh was not through fear that his mission would not succeed, but rather through fear that it might. It would be just like God to save this heathen riffraff, and it would be just like them to repent, re-pent, if he asked them, to take advantage of the light of God, and climb up to a higher level of life. Jonah didn't want that. Knowledge of God belonged to Israel. .... The tribal fear is one of our most primitive social feelings. Expressed in many forms, it is an endless source of fallacious thinking and twisted human behavior. be-havior. It is that fear in economic life that builds high tariffs, monopolies, and trade barriers, to protect our tribe. It is that fact that makes Jim Crow laws to keep the Negro down, lest in rising he encroach on our tribe. It is that fear that fosters imperialism in the world holding "natives" in contempt to maintain white prest-lge prest-lge . But Jonah struck troubled waters with that philosophyand philos-ophyand so have we. For life is not built on any such half-truths as those by which we have been attempting to live. Nowhere in the Book of God or the Declaration of Independence is there any encouragement to the notion not-ion that life is built on self-interest and that God is concerned only about our tribe (No man works harder against his own tribe than he who works exclusively for his own tribe. That is the law. This, then, is what the Declaration of Independence and the Gospels are making clear to us: we can save our own tribe only as we save other tribes ; we can keep the light of liberty at home only as we carry it to Nineveh.

This is a penalty that very well may ruin them for life. I do not condone what these boys did. But look at the severity of their punishmest and compare their fate with that of political insiders insid-ers whose morality has sunk so low they constantly use their political positions for financial and personal gain. What happened to Major Gen eral Harry Vaughn of Deep Freeze fame? Nothing has happened hap-pened to General Vaughn except a continuous flow of medals be-stowd be-stowd upon his chest by favor- seeking foreign governments. What happened to Brigadier David Crawford, recently commander com-mander of the Army's Detroit tank-automotive center, who diverted di-verted governmest property to his own use and accepted gifts from defense contractors? He had his wrist slapped by a transfer to a new post in Germany. Ger-many. His activities were much worse than those of the West Point 90, but he suffered only a ransfer to a comfortable post in Germany. No loss of rank; no dismissal nothing. The Crimnal Code The lack of morality in government gov-ernment has made itself con- spicious in repeated instances-It instances-It has grown to such lengths that even the crimnal laws have been waived in behalf of certain individuals. in-dividuals. The trend to waive these crim nal laws was reversed recently when the Senate and the House of Representatives refused to approve waiver "legislation in behalf of members of the Presidentially-appointed Commission on Internal Security and Individual Indiv-idual Human Rights. The Senate acted similarly in at least two ether instances when the Judic iary Committee of which I am a member declined to approve waiver legislation for specific individuals. These crimnal laws are commonly com-monly referred to as the conflict con-flict of interest statutes. The fundamenial principle involved is that it is not in the best interest in-terest of the government and the people for the government to employ persons who are pressing press-ing claims against the government. govern-ment. It is based on the principle that no one can serve two masters mast-ers at the same time. I believe the laws are sound. And I, thtrefore, could do nothing else but oppose those who sought special immunity from our crimnal crim-nal laws. My feelings on this question of morality and the responsibilities responsibil-ities t)f public office can best be expressed by quoting our states- Henry Clay, in March, 1829, in a speech at Ashland. Ken-lucky, Ken-lucky, said: "Government is" a trust, and the officers of the government are trustees; and both the trust and the trustees are created for 'he benefit of the people.' John C. Calhoun in February, 1835, said: "The very essence of a free government consists in considering consider-ing offices as public trusts, be-j stowed for the good of the, country, and not for the benefit j of an individual or party." In my view, if we are to raise morality in public office above, the level of the market place, ana oi me poniicai ward, we must return to the basic prin ciples of morality and ethics. Only good conscience respect for law and renewed faith in our Christian heritage can dean up the mess m which we now find ourselves.

FANS, Hi, Folks I want to take this moment to thank my fans for calls and the wonderful comment on last week's column. I liked that column, col-umn, too. When a person finds a philosophy that fits their personality per-sonality they have achieved a certain amount of happiness and happiness is the most important impor-tant thing in the world. The Real School Life is the real school, the most worthwhile school and the best education is the one that fits us to meet life on its own erms and bend it to our purpose. pur-pose. That is the only kind of an education that is worthwhile in our day. ,.If one day goes by and you have failed to learn a thing or , wo -you have failed to learn one of life's lessons, the day is a total loss. I remember what Luther Burbank said of life: "If a person lived a million years there would yet be lessons to be learned. The various fields and avenues of life afford great learning for those who wish to become truly learned even a little child can teach many ihings that have escaped an oldster old-ster And so life is the real school. I have often thought of life here as one does the different grades in school. There is the possibil ity that when we have finished this mortal life we may go on to the higher grade, one of greater learning. Therefore, it is most important to pursue the avenues of learning. My precious Tamarah knows more about ants and ducks than I ever will Leuana can out cook me when it comes to stews and stews- Jimmy swims like a fish and Eddy has the patience of Jobe .... so even the youngsters young-sters have learned many things that I haven't found time to learn. Each person masters a certain phase of life and I wonder why we haven't more time while here to learn the things we most desperately want to learn. I try to teach my grandchildren grandchild-ren to laugh to love all humanity hum-anity to have great tolerance and to have fun. ... I try to leach them to be honest with themselves and God, to find happiness. These are some of the lessons it is important to learn. And so life becomes the real school. P.
