Bracken Lee TV Speech (EDITOB'S NOTE: We were fortunate enough to hear Mayor J. Bracken Lee of Salt Lake City talk on KSL Television Saturday, March 2. His talk impressed us so much that we made a telephone call to his home Sunday alternoon and asked for a copy of his talk and permission to publish it. Knowing that Mayor Lee has quite a following follow-ing in Millard County we herewith present his talk as a public service. We reiterate our stand. THE PUBLIC OWES SOMETHING TO EDUCATION YES. EDUC A T I O N OWES SOMETHING TO THE PUBLIC, PUB-LIC, ALSO. We feel that Mayor Lee uses an example of expenditure within the framework of education that warrants looking into.) One of the worst lobbies we have in this state and every other state as well as nationally has been the so-called school lobby. These people peo-ple are dealing in a precious product pro-duct they are dealing in our children child-ren and it makes it very easy for them to donate money to an advertising adver-tising firm and then point out the great love they have for our children child-ren and that if we don't love them as much as they do then this school system is going to die and the children will get no education. Now this isn't true at all. If we gave the school system no more money at this time, I can assure you the schools would not be a-bolished; a-bolished; I can also assure you that they would do just as good a job as they have been doing because if the love of our children is based upon increased pay for those who govern and those who run our schools, then it isn't a very good love. And, I don't believe in this theory of scaring the people into continually reaching out and getting get-ting more money out of their pockets. poc-kets. We have an organization known as CAPS. It is an affiliated group of all of the people who are working work-ing in the school system. They have raised a lot of money to run advertisements and bring pressure cn our legislatures to get through a program that they have decided is right. This is an example of those whom we hire and those whom we pay deciding that they are the experts and we must follow fol-low their advice and we must continually con-tinually give them more and more money. Sometimes I think we are harming the very thing we are trying try-ing to do when we let these people peo-ple run our school systems and when we let them tell us what we have to have. I have about come to the conclusion that this organization, organi-zation, which is pretty well controlled con-trolled by the superintendents and the people at the top brackets, dominates the school teachers leading them to believe they are underpaid, and yet when the organization or-ganization does get money, not paying the teachers the amount of increase in pay they should get because be-cause they don't want to lose control con-trol over the teachers.

OWNER-PUBLISHER ASSOCIATE EDITOB LINO PBESSMAW ways we would be better off if we failed to give these schools the a-mount a-mount of money they now ask for, because what are we doing with this increase in money? In the first place, we are building the supervision super-vision of our schools. We have more people in higher brackets, who are bosses, than are needed and we are getting more and more all the time. We have one supervisor, as an illustration today, for every nine teachers. The law permits them to have one for every seven teachers, but the program which this organization has is that they want one supervisor for every three teachers. I think this supervision is bad for the teachers because I have found when you employ anyone any-one to do a job and then you inter-fer inter-fer in the manner in which that person does the job then you destroy des-troy many of these people. I think it would be far better if we left these teachers alone after all they have graduated. They have been taught to teach and if we permitted them to teach in the best manner they know how and not be interfered with by someone from the top who has decided they know a better way of doing it, then it wouldn't be long until we could tell which of these teachers were good teachers and which were poor teachers. As it is now, it is physically impossible for anyone to tell a good teacher from a bad teacher. This is true in life in every walk of life. It would be my suggestion that we get rid of these supervisors most of them are not doing any thing any way, and if you just simply sim-ply got rid of the supervisors in your school system, you would have enough money to raise the pay of every single school teacher in the State of Utah by at least 10 per cent of their present salary. In other words, if they are getting $4,000 a year, you could increase them by $400 a year. This is just the supervisors. Now let us take the administration in our Salt Lake City schools and I think this ratio would hold true in every school system in the state. Here is an office one office the superintendent gets $17,000 a year. He has an assistant that gets $13,000 a year. He has another assistant as-sistant who gets $12,840 a year, another an-other assistant who gets $12,000 a year, another assistant who gets $10,000 a year, another one who gets $10,000 a year, another one who gets $9,000 a year, and undoubtedly un-doubtedly every one of these supervisors su-pervisors has a stenographer or some assistants of their own which just increases the overhead. Now this office has more overhead in it than the Governor's office. In fact, it has more than the Governor's Gover-nor's office and Mayor's office wno both spend and control a lot of the people's money. Why do you need all of these people? I'll tell yoj why you need them. It is because these are the people who head and dominate the organization that Market HEADQUARTERS A 'va --' ( rj&hz$m ft OUTDOORSMAN Gary Cooper, pictured here at Sun Valley, Idaho, was an expert skier, a good skin-diver and a lifelong hunting enthusiast enthusi-ast prior to his untimely death in 1961.

Move Blossoms to Limit Federal Goy. Intervention HARRISBURG. Pa. The move to limit federal government intervention interven-tion in state affairs has blossomed into a full-blown national campaign. cam-paign. At least 20 states now are considering con-sidering one or more of the dual sovereignty resolutions recommend- tells the legislature how much money they need. These are the people who spend a lot of their time preparing legislation and propaganda pro-paganda to tell the people how much more money they have to have. The funny thing about all this is that the superintendent gets another an-other thousand dollars to spend for entertainment and so forth, and some of the others are entitled to some of this extra money.

This is the history of gov-! ernment and until the people a waken and demand a say in the operation of the school system you are going to have more and more of this kind of wasting of your money because the very nature of people is the more you give them the more they want and the more they have of the tax-paying dollar the bigger they want to make their empire and the more they want to take for themselves. Men, it seems, are greedy and the more you give them an opportunity to raise their own salaries, the more they are going to do it. I don't know what to do about this. I know that you have examples exam-ples of every session of your legislature legis-lature forgetting the people, increasing in-creasing the taxes, putting more restrictions upon the people as a whole and less restrictions on those who govern. The school board we elect is an example. They don't run your school system; they have hired a man here at $17,000 a year who is the boss of the school board because you, the people, will not go out and elect somebody who will represent you and who will tell the superintendent what kind of a school system you want. I am for paying these teachers more money. I am opposed to paying pay-ing these supervisors more money. I am for getting the supervisors off the payroll and letting the teacher tea-cher do a job for the people and I think you will have a better school system with less money. Mayor J.

Garfield To Again Head Easter Seal Drive Ogden educator Rulon R. Garfield has been named to head Utah's annual Easter Seal Campaign for the second consecutive year. Abe Guss, president of the Utah Society for Crippled Children and Adults, said the organization was pleased and honored to have Mr. Garfield, who conducted an outstanding out-standing campaign in 1962, return for the 1963 drive. Mr. Garfield, principal of Bonneville Bonne-ville Elementary School in Ogden, will direct nearly 5,000 volunteer workers in the drive, which begins March 7 and continues through April 14. Funds from the drive go toward rehabilitating and providing special care for crippled youngsters and adults. Handicapped persons from throughout Utah are treated at the Easter Seal Vocational Rehabilitation Rehabilita-tion Workshop in Salt Lake City. 'In again accepting the chairmanship chairman-ship of the campaign, Mr. Garfield said: "If all those who might contribute con-tribute to the 1963 Easter Seal Campaign could see their pennies and dollars helping a lame child to walk straighter or a handicapped handicapp-ed person find a meaningful place in the world, our task would be simple. - YOU SEE A MOUTH FULL OF up a huge mounta'n lion ALIVE.

Mayor Supports Early Tax Cut Mayor Ned M. Church today joined with chief executives of cities of America to support President Presi-dent Kennedy's proposal for an "early Federal tax cut in the lower brackets of individuals, to promote consumer demand; in the middle and upper brackets, to heighten incentives in-centives and encourage investment; invest-ment; and for corporations, to promote pro-mote business investment." The Mayor said: "Statistics prove . that the current heavy personal and corporate income tax burden is. stultifying economic growth." The Mayor noted that "our average aver-age annual growth rate of economy econo-my of only 2.7 per cent over the past decade falls far short of the estimated 4.1 per cent required during this' decade to boost our economy to its capability of producing, pro-ducing, and without strain, $30 $40 billion more than we are producing pro-ducing today. A federal tax reduction can be likened to an increase in income for the individual. As this additional addi-tional money is spent for consumer needs, these additional dollars are re-spent and re-invested. "Every dollar of tax saving is spent or invested will eventually multiply 2 to 3 times. In other words, a tax cut of $8 $10 billion has the potential of increasing our gross national product by $24 $30 billion as this money finds its way into active circulation. "Citizens of this city will benefit by this proposed Federal tax cut. "At the present time, our city is in need of stimulating its economic growth. Under a logical diagnosis of facts, as economists view the value of this proposed Federal tax cut, the stimulas of the tax cut would release investment capital, create jobs, increase consumer spending and raise profits."
