The national debt is approaching $3 trillion, Nielson said. That means this year we will spend about $1,000 per person more than we take in. That level of deficit spending cannot continue. Nielson said that while there are already three laws on the books that require a balanced the budget, they are not with land of law the supreme sufficient stature to curb a spendthrift Congress or evoke the close scrutiny of the third (judicial) branch of government. A constitutional amendment would lend great moral filtered per- toward putting our monetary house in order, Nielson said. The federal government is expected to take in about $80 billion more in taxes this year due to an improved economy, suasion Nielson said. Yet the Democratic leadership of the House insisted on raising taxes another $10 - $12 billion for the fiscal year 1988. The urge to spend is so irresistible that only about $23 billion will be reduced from the deficit. The solution is obviously not more taxes, but less spending. The House bill to amend the Constitution must pass both the House and Senate by a s two-third- majority vote, then would require ratification by of the states. three-fourt- While there were 10 newspapers in Philadelphia in 1787, the press was not permitted to sit in on the brainstorming going on for five months in forming the United States Constitution, when they could have been a Electric Balance the budget Rep. Howard Nielson testified before a House subcommittee Nov. 19 about the need for a constitutional amendment to balance the budget. By ELIZABETH HANSON Staff writer five-mon- th Electric Celebration hs Recently, as the Utah State Tax Commission announced the closing of its Castle Dale office, requiring vehicle owners to license their cars in Price, a wave of quiet complaint has swept the county. No one has gone on record, writing a letter to the editor, but weve heard concerns about having to drive to Price only to find the office closed after work, weve heard about the inconvenience to the assessors office and weve heard predictions that more local dollars will be spent in Price, while people are there buying licenses. One complainant was most honest about his fears, How many things are they going to take away from here? Theyll keep at it til were a ghost town! Businessmen in the two counties have always competed fiercely for Emery County Thats dollars. what regionalism stems from, isnt it? Competition. We thrive on our differences and make a big deal out of our unique cultural heritages, on both sides of the county line. I remember the old joke, When you go to Utah, you have to go to Carbon County to get back in the If Emery United States. County was mostly Danes and Carbon County Englishmen, was proud to be Utahs melting pot. The energy boom diluted the orginal culture of both counties and it seemed the old feelings of rivalry had died, but they survive and surface once in a while despite ourselves simply because the good and decent people of both counties are proud, loyal supporters of their communities and their way of life. Rivalry is so inherent in pride and loyalty, I doubt any amount of cooperation will dissolve it. Take away the tax office and there will be complaints, take away our local courts and there will be complaints, take away a feeling of community pride and there will be outrage. And so in our sameness (were all good and decent people) we struggle to maintain our differences, our uniqueness, our place in die world. Coverage of Constitution was limited make a statement he had to eat later. Too bad, for the history of the struggle to hammer out the provisions of the document which governs our lives is sketchy at best, holiday County businesses, that eventually, it would be combined with the and they would lose their county paper. Fortunately, that prediction has not come to pass. Sun-Advoc- Regionalism is not dead. Proving the point more ably than Scott Johansens comment quoted in the Tribune, was all the furor that followed. The whole affair has elicited more laughter, shock and outrage than Ive heard between the two counties in several lest someone influential residential garbage service in Emery, Orangeville or Ferron UP&Ls Staff writer But I sense it has been lying beneath a deceptively still surface, just waiting for an opportunity to emerge. Remember when Bob Finney bought the Emery County Progress? I do. I remember the phones ringing as readers called to complain that their paper was being taken over by Carbon County, that all it had in it was advertisements from Carbon 84513.

Huntington. Operation Santa No doubt into history. Governor Moore, a wealthy six footer with a peg leg had the journalistic gift to hone the rough edges into more effective expression. He wrote the We the people preamble, as stirring a piece of literature as ever penned and profoundly effective today. The men were worn out by the time they had agreed on seven articles. Provision was made in them for amendments that came fairly soon after and continued to 1961. But the crux of it all lies in the articles themselves. For example, Article 6 assures that our rights will be protected by due process of law without actually using the term. It says that the Constitution shall be the supreme law of the land; the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any state to the contrary notwithstanding. It implies that when state laws conflict with laws enacted within the powers granted to the Congress, the national laws prevail. Article 1, Section 9, Part 2 alludes to due process of law with the provision that the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended unless, when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it. Habeas corpus is a latin phrase meaning you have the body. By law it is a writ commanding a person who detains another to produce the detained person before a court, especially in order to determine the lawfulness of the detention. Article 3, Section 2 states, The trial of all crimes except in cases of impeachment, shall be by jury, and such trial shall be held in the state where the said crimes shall have been committed, but when not committed within the state, the trial shall be at such place or places as Congress may by law have directed. Amendment Five states that no person shall be compelled in any criminal case to be witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law, nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation. The same words are found in Amendment 14 as restrictions on the power of the states. The Supreme Court is still prepared to protect people against arbitrary and capricious acts of government. Blake Webster chose the Fifth Amendment, adding a Our rights to life, liberty and property may not be restricted or altered quote, without a formal process or action organized and allowed by law. Argene Olsen picked the Fifth Amendment, adding that it assured the right to trial by jury and an attorney for defense. Lee Brown picked the first section of the 14th Amendment which states Nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law; nor deny any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the law. Among the rights or liberties protected are the right of religous freedom, of free speech and freedom of the press. Some members of the Supreme Court have argued that due process includes all the rights protected against the federal government by the Bill of Rights. Lee said he is studying history while attending CEU to be a respiratory therapist. He has learned to better appreciate the Constitution. He is grateful for the right to keep and bear arms because he likes to hunt. Ira Hatch picked the Fifth Amendment. Certainly a study of the document fosters appreciation of the effort the Founding Fathers exerted in writing it. Price group holds seminar The Chamber of Commerce and the Price police department will sponsor a seminar to let area merchants know the laws, liabilities, procedures for arrest and how to curtail shoplifting during the Christmas season.
