D 1977 'Energy Sleuth Aren't Answer It's Council's Department of Energy, the youths would check everything from the inflation of the homeowner's car tires to the water level in the toilet tanks. All this should take about 45 minutes to an hour to complete. A White House spokesman The Carter administration is considering a plan to use the nation's youth as energy detectives, going from house to house in their communities to check how effectively their neighbors are conserving energy. The purpose of the program is to "raise awareness and educate the said that .the. information general public on ways that manual, .is iiot going to-- be energy can be saved," White ' . sent just anywhere. lt will be circulated among educators House sources say. and volunteer organization Under the voluntary program, high school students executives for dispersal.

The volunteer would out and check on people. He then knock on the door to tell added that all recruiting the occupant what his or her would be strictly voluntary. The booklet suggests that outside energy conservation "score" is, and offer to go students can be recruited through the inside of the through voluntary organizahouse to complete the surtions, such as the Boy and vey. According to the "team Turn To Act NO MATTER WHAT the outcome of the mess in which the Box Elder County Sheriff's Department and the Tremonton Fire Department are locked, one thing is for certain. Neither side will win any victory. BITTERNESS NOW characterizes the relationship their between the two organizations which must-th- ru work-co- me in contact with each other frequently. This can only make a good working relationship next to impossible and strained at best. THRU IT ALL one group's name hasn't come up yet. And, to us. this group has the potential for solving the dispute in the future although they may not be able to do much about what has already happened. THE GROUP IS the Tremonton City Council. What is their responsibility in all this? The carnival is held annually for the primary purpose of raising money for the fire department. The results of that money can be seen everytime the firemen go out on a call. They wear it on their backs in the form of protective clothing. Or, they ride in it to the scene of an accident. Firemen paid for half of one of the two ambulances they currently man. They paid for numerous other items of equipment' in the past. NO ONE CAN dispute the fact that money raised at the carnival is used in unselfish, worthwhile ways. That money, incidentally, is money which Tremonton City taxpayers ilon't have to dig up out of their pockets to finance the operation of a fire department. OPERATION OF A fire department is, however, a Tremonton City function. It is one of the services citizens organize a city government to provide. And perhaps the time has come when city councilmen must take on the full responsibility of providing all the funds necessary so that the firemen can operate the department properly. One thing the council can't do is lean back and look the other way while firemen raise the additional money they need to operate the department thru a means which the county sheriff apparently feels is questionable. THIS MAY MEAN the city will have to levy additional taxes or increase fees to do the job. We personally think there are other voluntary ways thru which the money can be raised each year. It's true that these other ways ' may be less effective and less productive than the pheasant carnival, but they should also be less controversial. TO SUCCEED, the fire department needs the active support of the city council and the those members of the pubic who may feel that the pheasant carnival isn't the best way available to raise public-particul- arly money. rZZ Your Man iio In Washington l) By U.S. Senator Orrin G. Hatch Time For A Tax Cut "The chief problem confronting our economy is its unrealized potential, slow growth, underinvest- ment, unused capacity and persistent unemployment. The result is lagging wage, salary and profit income, e small pay, intake-hom- sufficient productivity gains, inadequate federal revenues, and persistent budget deficits. One recession has followed another, with each period of recovery and expansion fading out earlier than the last." This is a perfect description in nearly every detail of today's economic problems, yet these are the words of the late President John F. Kennedy more than 14 years ago. And just what did the President do to change the economic picture? He addressed the Congress in this language, "Our tax system siphons out of the private economy too large a share of personal and business purchasing power and reduces the incentive for risk, in- vestment, and effort thereby aborting our recoveries (from reces- sions) and stifling our national growth. " Kennedy then asked for a perma- nent, across-the-boar- ten percent tax cut which Congress agreed to. The disincentives referred to by President Kennedy are still with us, and there is reason to believe that a similar type of permanent tax cut is the answer to our current problems.

The FBI has been advised by the Box Elder County Commissioners, who had recommended Sheriff Redding to attend the FBI National Academy, Quantico, Virginia, that they will not authorize payment of his salary for the three months he is in the Academy. "This will be the first time in the history of the country that an officer's salary has been withheld while he is in attendance at the FBI National Academy. For many years when the FBI National Academy was first established, local governments desiring" benefits of this training for their law enforcement personnel paid their transportation and all of their subsistence while they were attending the Academy in Washington, D.C. It has not been until the last few years and establishment of the new FBI Academy at Quantico, Virginia, that the FBI has not only paid for the academic training, but all related expenses such as travel and subsistence," an FBI spokesman said. , , i h V ." "The FBI experience is that communities' are anxious and consider it a privilege to send their personnel to this training facility. It is difficult to understand a community that cannot see the advantage of this training and refuses to take advantage of this opportunity," the spokesman said.

A permanent tax cut stimulates economic growth and production by providing capital for investment, either directly or through savings institutions. Within the last few weeks President Carter has begun to signal that he might ask Congress for a tax cut of around $22 billion in early 1978. Noticeably absent from the President's "trial balloons" is any mention of a tax cut for the middle -- 4- income family which sup- ports the government. The President suggests of the $22 billion should go to business - v.y.' 'pyvx two-thir- which is in critical need of the other tax reform third to low income families. President Carter may be getting the picture. A tax cut is needed but not a preferential tax to aid some while discriminating against and penalyzing An others. tax cut is needed for every American, whether businessman, laborer or farmer. Increased taxation, without relief, can only lead to a time when there will be nothing left to take. Taxes and inflation will have taken nil there is. Now is the time for a universal and permanent tax cut. across-the-lxar- pi'-- W ftiPilii Jiili d ' 4 Snowmobile efe's Center f" U t 140 I West Main 5f.
