Thus, when we view the current water crisis, we wonder if a gross miscarriage of foresight isnt the direct cause of the present alarming condition. There is a concensus of opinion among certain council members and citizens alike that because the present growth has been created from a government controlled industry, we should demand that the government absorb the absolute cost of water development. To a point we agree that certain concessions are in order to compensate for this sudden and tremendous expansion program. But, were curious at the logic that dictates we should refuse any aid other than a government hand-ou- t. One thing is certain; if the present economic balance were stalled even a fraction during this critical period of expansion, it could create a local recession that would bankrupt a good many local businesses, as statistics of other cities caught in the same processes bear mute testimony to. Nor is there ever a chance of resuming progress that has been momentarily stalled by retrogression. There is a remote possibility that certain concessions could be obtained by a trip to Washington, but beyond a shadow of a doubt arm-chalogistics at this 11th hour is blind stupidity, as is the reasonthe theory of Federal Grant or nothing. that accompanies ing This problem affects everyone in the area and were I permitted a candid observation, I believe I would worry the members of the City Council, the Chamber of Commerce and all service organizations for absolute action immediately. Without a solution to the water problem soon, this city will become a fond memory in a few short months, and no amount of procrastination will undue the economic havoc created partly out of indecision and partly out of misinformation. ir Cancer Threat Ever Present We read much today about the fear of disease. On the one hand we are assailed by admonitions to heed minor symptoms, transient pains, fleeting aches, feelings of uneasiness, and the like, and to take proper steps to avoid serious consequences. On the other hand, psychologists tell us that many of our ills are, in a way, figments of our imagination. Sometimes ,it is true, a constant preoccupation with ones physical condition results in what we unwarranted fear of disease. know as hypochondria No doubt the public occasionally is confused by these apparently opposite viewpoints of medical authorities. A reader of a medical columnist one day may find himself persuaded to have a physical examination. Next day another writer tells him that 95 per cent of all ills cure themselves and that most sickness is not of the flesh but of the fancy. What then should a thoughtful person conclude? Take, for instance the program of the American Cancer Society, which is aimed at early diagnosis of a disease that usually can be cured only in the early stages. The Societys doctors are aware of the possiconcern about cancers early danger signs might bility that an over-avi- d result in the exaggerated fear of that disease which psychologists call "cancerphobia. They know, however, that persons who develop an unnatural fear of cancer have other fears as well. If the source of their anxiety had not been this disease, it most likely would have been some other ailment, or condition, or object. It might even be dogs or cats, or . high places, or the dark. The American Cancer Societys early warning program is a calculated risk. Balanced on one side is the chance that some deeply sensitive and introspective persons w'ill be worried unduly. On the other side of the scales in 1955 are the lives of some 75,000 Americans. This number represents persons whom medical authorities believe die of cancer needlessly each year. They are the ones whose lives could have been spared had they heeded the early warning message of the ACS and sought proper treatment in time. With this great weight of human lives in the balance can anyone wonder why the scales have been tipped in the direction of a dynamic nation-wid- e program to alert people about cancer? We cant all be calm and dispassionate, but most of us have enough to give thoughtful regard to this question. When the occasion arises and you are worried about your physical condition, isn t the sensible solution simply to see your doctor? And see him once a year anyhow, no matter how good you feel. Worry .a bit about yourself once in a while. In small dosest its good for you. The Kansas State Bill: The Secretary of Labor, Mr. Mitchell who last December told the CIO convention laws that state do more harm than good, has now congratulated Governor Fred Hall of Kansas for vetoing a recently enacted bill which would have banned compulsory union membership agreements between employers and unions. Mr. Mitchell said that the Governor had demonstrated commendable courage and devotion to the best principles upon which our country was founded. Mr. Michells attitude with respect to the State Act is at varance with the position taken by industry in general. Taxes and Politics: Present indications are that the main Democratic attack against the Eisenhower Adminisration in the 1956 Presidential Campaign will be centered around tax policy. For example, the Democrats are presently planning to establish a special subcommittee of the House Ways and Means Committee, probably headed by Rep. Mills to investigate the entire Internal Revenue Code of 1954. This investigation is expected to get underway shortly after the Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Humphrey sends to the Capitol recommendations proposing the correction of form 70 to 80 items in the 1954 code.

Senate approval was given by a vote of 56 d be governed,, but mankind, who should be the wisest and most obedient of all, are the most flagrant in all creation. As the old prophet puts it: The ox knows his stall, and the ass knows his masters crib, but man e does not know his Creator and the laws given for his well being. To the animal creation, as well as to man was given the law that they should multiply, and preserve future generations of the race. In men and in animals is the unmistakable urge to obey this law, and men are the only creatures who become so vitiated and depraved that they prostitute their powers to consume on their lusts that which was entrusted to them for to 31. the perpetuity of the race.

Every legislature a little liberal legislation gets through as well as reactionary legislation. But the big bulk of it, particulary the best legislation of recent years, has come as the result of some healthy, middle of the road compromises. A good many of these compromises come through the work of the Utah Legislative Council. It poli-tican- tion papers also should be safely and conveniently stored.

This is not to say that the Council cannt act quickly. Its members can and have done so. Its just that these men know which way they are headed when they act. The council for the next two years should follow along those same lines. liIf anything, the beral element may claim to have been shortchanged, because even the liberals on the council tend somewhat conservation. These 13 men carry a lot of prestige. They will study some tough problems.

Probably the hottest issue to handle will be the whole field of business and trade regulations and how far such regulations should go. In all, the council has 23 assignments, including such things as feasibility of diking the east edge of Great Salt Lake, need of a State Office Building studies of hospital and medical needs for the future, etc. problem lies not in the lack of effective insecticides but in prop-rapplication of available insect killers.
