" 4- - According to Webster, it's a matter of word selection when your position in a discussion is being described. Some are, we grant, and per haps have a right to be. But any proposed governmental change should afford the incorporated areas the right to determine their own destiny. Thus far, nothing has offered this even though it's common knowledge one area can't annex another without the express consent of a majority of those . living You might be an opponent since that implies little more than position on the other side of a debate or disagreement. You could be an antagonist, there. since that imWhy, then, should a new government have a right to plies sharper opposition. supercede an existing one still Or you could favored by a majority of those even be an ad- it governs? versary, which carries an adIt's as absurd as the man who leaped into a ditional implication of active taxi cab and shouted, Drive over the cliff hostility. It all depends I want to commit suicide!" upon how ser iously the thing is pursued. We are preparing to discuss the West Valley group which is delving into possible governmental changes and, has conducted a series of meetings on the subject. Thus far their deliberations have been purely exploratory. To our knowledge, they've not suggested any change in the present system, although it's obvious that dissatisfaction with what we have has prompted their organization. Maybe this group will come up with an intelligent approach to the Salt Lake county governmental situation. We hope it doesn't parallel the fuzzy thinking of some who've come forth with such ideas as a single government throughout the valley. And they have heard some speakers who've been in the front ranks of those "schemes. Hopefully, they've already discovered some of the flaws in these ideas. It's no secret we've been a battler against a consolidation of county government for years. The very mention of the subject raises the hackles on our neck and brings out the fighter's instincts. has Such resulted ln many things being said about our thinking, our our unpro-gressibackwardness, attitude and even questionable ancestry. Why are you so vehement form against a county-wid- e of government?" we've been asked many times. Which leads to a fresh new tirade on our part, most of which our long-tireaders have heard as frequently as a broken ve . Bellyache No. 3: When a new government, is created, Heaven, forbid, how will its representation be determined? Why simply by the most pop- ulated area having the most representatives. Question; Where is the population preponderance of our county? Answer; It's obvious. Question; Who, then, dictates governmental policy and gets the lion's share of the benefits? Answer: That's obvious too. If you doubt the logic of that sequence, consider the Salt Palace. Who fought against its passage? The county. Who carried the vote? The city. Where is it being built? The city. Who's helping to pay for it? Move over, friend we're all in the same boat. Gripe No. 4; The fallacy that people are better off with big government than small. People whose government is small enough that they can approach their elected officials in person have far more voice than those whose officials are known to them only by name. An unhappy citizen of Mid-va- le can find Mayor Henry Beckstead most anytime he wants to. Any Salt Lake City citizen who says he has equal access to Brack Lee is either his close friend or a person who doesn't habitually tell the truth. And the fact tries to stay Is, Brack closer to than do the most heads of government. rank-and-f- In ; i at right " ; C yvil rr- V.. v , ., n served during the past term as vice president and was previously secretary-treasure- r, is owner-operatof Bonneville Medical Laboratories, 4901 So.
