Taylor reviewed the teacher teach-er and listing of openings in the district and suggested that the lett ers of intent for the fiscal year 1967 There will be bills to reduce taxes tax-es in certain areas; which will decrease de-crease the tax base. Any money lost by these bills would have to be obtained by new taxes, for the state is just in no position to cut down its revenue. The committments the state now has for bond retirement, education, welfare, etc. have made tax reductions reduc-tions impossible if we are to remain re-main financially sound. The legislature is making a great effort to cut down waste of tax money and to operate in the most efficient manner. Perhaps if we are partially successful we may be able to cut back taxes next session. If and when taxes are reduced they may be reduced so the citizens of this great state, as a whole, ben efit and not any special group. This in my mind, is of paramount impor tance. There is no agreeable fair tax, that is for certain, but taxes should be levied uniformly as far as poss ible. Property assessment should be uniform throug the state. Until next week Sen. G. S. Rees By Richard M.

The first week the Utah Legis-' lature was filled with study reports committee assignments, Governor Rampton's State of the State message mes-sage and program proposals from the leadership of the Republican Party in the House and Senate. The most far-reaching and drastic suggestions, sug-gestions, in my opinion, were presented pre-sented to the Legislature by the Legislative Council. A lawmaker cannot truly represent repre-sent the people in his district to the fullest extent unless he is given a post on one or more of the important impor-tant standing committees.

These four committee assignments will enable me to have more influence upon the agricultural, economic and geographic interests of rural Utah. This week I helped to sponsor and introduce the following bills: (HJR 1) A resolution to request the United States Congress to propose pro-pose an amendment to our Federal Constitution providing that the gov ernment cannot engage in any business bus-iness or financial enterprise unless constitutionally specified. This resolution re-solution is referred to as the Liberty Liber-ty Amendment; (HB 30) An act to confirm the authority of local school boards of education to determine the advisability advis-ability of ' school consolidation as affected by allocation of additional school fund distribution units. HB 33) An act to provide a mandatory man-datory death sentence for first degree de-gree murder and a life sentence for second degree murder. I sponsored House Bill 33 because I believe there has been a general degeneration in respect for law and order in our state. If an individual is convicted for first degree murder, under present law, leniency is usually usu-ally the order of the day. In our democracy local boards of education have been given, and should retain, real power to regulate regu-late their own schools. House Bill 30, if passed, will deny the State Board of Education the right to invoke in-voke crippling economic santions against any demands in the area of school consolidation. It is my opinion that we have some real support for this bilL Board |
