Show 2 THE BOX ELDER NEWS, Brigham City, Utah Sunday, January 22, 1967 , , , The next issue is whether or not we should have daylight saving time. One lady put it this way: . EDITORIALLY SPEAKING t Im against daylight saving As We See It A potpourri of hectic, tedious, tiring, frustratdays lie ahead for Utahs ing and pressure-fillelawmakers who now have their feet well on the ground in this 1967 session of the state legislature. More than 100 bills have been introduced thus far with prospects for additional ones. The legislators over the next six weeks must come to terms with the governors proposed $685 million record budget and wrestle with a number of d controversial issues. We dont propose to analyze each of the bills now pending, a lack of time, space and intricate knowledge being prohibiting factors. But there are several propositions on which we would like to offer brief comment. THE GOVERNOR'S proposal to augment state fish and game finances from the general fund appears to be a side door solution to current fiscal problems within the department. g Is seems inappropriate to ask the general public to support fish and game agency activities when sportsmen themselves, at least the Utah Wildlife federation, has urged a license fee increase to raise necessary monies. The issue of capitol punishment certainly will be one of the hottest items in the legislative hopper. Already two bills on the subject have been introduced and another reportedly is on its way from the attorney general. One would fix death as a mandatory punishment for first degree murder; another would place the responsibility for setting the sentence solely with the presiding judge and the third would abolish . . . by Bruce It's necessary to hurry with this piece today. The old round man of the journalistic world has got to run right out and purchase a copy of that inspirational recording, "Keep the Faith, Baby," a collection of A. C. Powell's oratorical N-- N gems. But first it seems appropriate to analyze two of the days burning issues. The first is capitol punishment . . . thats right . . . capitol punishment. That's where a bunch of legislators get together at least every other year and subject themselves to 60 days of orator, arguments, audacious attitudes, platitudes and gratitudes with a sprinkling of name and calling, brawling, bawling galling. There's credibility to the belief that if crooks were made to sit in the galleries for the entire 60 days, they would soon repent and mend their ways. time because every evening at 7 p.m. my bunion begins to hurt and it continues to do so for exactly an hour. If daylight saving time was adopted, my bunion would hurt at 8 p.m. and thats when my favorite TV The Teenager from show, S.E.C.O.N.D. C.O.U.S.l.N' starts." ' The lady has a point. In adition, any change has to be suspect that would cause a person to get up an hour earlier in the morning and leave him an additional hour in which to mow the lawn at night. Thats not even American. However, there are a lot of arguments for it. Like this one as stated by Hank Hunk, a tobacco farmer from Cache Valley: Sure 'Im in favor of saving daylight.

ONE LEGISLATOR reportedly is sounding out attitudes for possible introduction of a Sunday closing law. It has been only several years ago that a Sunday closing or "Blue law was vetoed by the governor and with good reason. That particular piece of legislation was riddled with inconsistency. Furthermore, any measure to force Sunday closing must be considered an unwarranted and unfair infringement upon free enterprise, religious princi- Computed ot our current rote of 5 per annum, compounded semi onnuolly Current dividend rote may vary slightly from time to time but will not sub ttontially alter this program Its Check-a-Mont- h ples notwithstanding.

The structures will be shifted to the public works yard on lower Forest street for use there.

They work long hours, are constantly deprived of time off and are saddled with a pay schedule that is not comensurate with demands of the job. However, in defense of the county commission who might be accused of turning their backs on these employes, it should be pointed out that no specific request was made in the sheriffs proposed 1967 budget to increase deputy salaries. IF THERE was a financial bone to pick, it done been then. should have rightfully A request was made, and denied by way of a $2,000 cut, to employ another deputy. Since the pay issue has been raised, although belatedly, it should be given thorough consideration. Certainly there is room to improve in a salary schedule which tops off at $470 a month. AS AN alternative to higher salaries, the deputies have asked for an additional three or four men as a means of shortening the present staffs work hours. Perhaps the wisest solution lies in a modified combination of the two. ' Or it may be the present duty schedule can be altered to give the men more time off. The situation deserves remedy of some measure. letters to the Editor,:? Murray Man Sentenced In An attitude of dissatisfaction which has been seething beneath the surface for some time boiled over this past week when deputies of the Box Elder Sheriffs department issued a public demand for higher salaries or shorter hours. The manner in which this was handled is unfortunate.
