Editorial Time to Consider Non-Partisan Approach to Local Election The first Christmas card was sent in 1844 by an Englishman, W. E. Dobson.' Maybe Grandpa was right.

Picture is taken in front of the tellers windows. As you read this editorial the American Fork municipal election is over. The voters have spoken, the campaign has been waged and our community now settles down to live with the decisions made. We feel it is time for American Fork to consider a new approach to local elections. We have reached the time when it is to our best interests to take the non-partisan method of electing our local officials. The could be accomplished in at least two ways. 1) We could establish two or more nonaffiliated non-affiliated parties as opposed to the traditional Republican or Democratic parties or 2) We could ask permission to be declared a Second-Class Second-Class city under Utah s'atutes for the purpose of election. There are several advantages in both proposals. propo-sals. The business community, especially, feels threatened by taking sides in the traditional party lines. They feel it leaves them "marked" by national tenets and party lines which may or may not be applicable to our local situation. Some feel that they are required to take sides on issues they might basically disagree with, but national party line places them in a position where they are labeled as conformists to the national policies or platform, when in fact, they may have personal beliefs on the other side of the line. A non-partisan election would allow candidates candi-dates to work on local election lines under a "Citizens" or "Peoples" banner, with no regard for Democratic or Republican party lines. Perhaps the most profitable method of local election would be the Second Class City route. Under this method, each condaidate would file for the available election posts as independent candidates. Political affiliation is not at issue, but the abilities, the background and the image of the individual. This proposal has already been given serious consideration by incumbent Mayor Malcolm H. Beck. Our pre-election activity this year was disquieting. dis-quieting. A capable candidate was disqualified because of state merit regulations concerning political activity. A third party organization effort failed. Both incidents opened political wounds which will be long in healing. Local elections should be freed of the party line ties. It is our opinion that the voters should be given the opportunity to vote on local issues, on the individual and given the freedom to act for the good of the community, rather than for the good of the party. American Fork voters demonstrated their readiness for this approach by giving Mayor Malcolm Beck an imposing majority not seen in recent municipal elections. Other mayors have been elected by a small vote margin, some less than 10 votes separating the winner and the loser. Beck's more I.ian 600 vote lead indicated that American Fork voters are ieady to vote for the person, not the party. We urge that the city council give this matter objective thought before we go to the polls again in a muncipal election in 1975. |
