Weve heard virtually no arguments extended a against either. Conversley, proponents have waged tireless campaign to convince voters that each should be approved. It should be admitted, however, that the meais-ures- , if enacted, will result in a los of revenue to the state and at a time when income is of prime imencumbrances. portance to meet growing financial Yet, the ultimate result may not he less but ingreater revenue. Repeal of the inventory tax, for stance, would create a climate more conducive to new business in the state. It appears to have done this in neighboring states like Arizona. UTAH IIAS enacted freeport legislation which outexempts from taxation goods sold or shipped side the state within 12 months. Doesnt it make sense to accord the same privilege to firms doing business within the state? The tax also is discriminatory. A business which deals in goods, such as a hardware or department store, is taxed on its inventory of goods as of Jan. 1. However, a bank or brokerage house pay no inventory tax. FURTHER, inventories are not always accurately reported. Proponents say the estimated lost revenue $3.5 million could be made up by more efficiently enforcing other existing taxes on all business property. far as Proposition No. 4 is concerned, it seems only reasonable that farm land should be taxed as such and not because a housing subdivision or shopping center is located across the street. As TRUE, the adjacent farm ground may gain in value if brought into commercial or home tract who development. But in the meantime, the owner income on uses the property for farming, harvests that basis and should not he taxed otherwise. sensiBeing in a rural area we are particularly tive to this situation. There are orchards and alfalfa fields within our community limits that have abutted residential areas for years and may continue to exist in that status for a long time to come. The Brigham City Chamber of Commerce has expressed itself as favoring both of these proposed amendments as has the governor and each has approval. We encourage Box Elder county citizens to vote "Yes on Propositions No. 3 and 4 when they go to the polls on Nov. 5. Box Elder County Clerk K. B. Olsen's admonition to voters to make up their minds before going to the polls next week is certainly reasonable. If the politicial campaigns are too long, as charged by critics, they certainly are of sufficient length to permit citizens an adequate review of the issues and candidates. THERE IS little excuse then for the voter who must ponder for many minutes his choices after entering the polling booth. Flow long should a person spend making his marks? We conducted a trial run using sample bol-lotbasis for Casting our votes on a straight-partthe various national, state and local offices plus five propositions, the initiative petition and a school board contest took 15 seconds. Crossing over to scratch in the partisan races extended the time to 30 seconds. These times are a far cry from the spent by persons casting absentee ballots in the county clerks office.

Strom Thurmond as its presidention candidate, was on the ballot as a third party in 16 States and received 1,169,021 popular and 39 electorial votes. It was strictly a regional third party. The American Independent party, with George C. Wallace as its presidential aspirant, will make its cinderella-likdebut at the polls in all 50 states and it thus assumes the mantle of a national third party. The size of the popular and electorial votes for this new third party is one of the imponderables of this election and it could be very impressive, if we c voter preference polls. give credence to Whereas the States Rights party faded away quickly, there is every indication to the effect that George Wallace's new third party will not fade and will remain as the nucleus for a conservative party which in one guise or another will be in the political arena from here on in. The strong emergence of this new third party, as the prototype of the conservative party based on conservative political thinking and action, and which - I predict will be followed shortly by the formation of a fourth or liberal labor party, is in the nature of a natural backlash in the form of growing voter disenchantment with the platforms of both major political parties. In essence, both traditional major parties hase come to a point where-itheir political philosophy-thediffer from one another only in the degree of haste with which they plan to conduct us down the royal road to the welfare or socialist state. As way-sid- e signposts along that royal road I note such items as: rent subsidies; a guaranteed annual wage; free dentalcare for age children; compulsory union membership, in addition to the open law already in effect. nous', Wnether or not you happen to like this trend towards state socialism will determine whether or not you, as a voter, will tend to lean towards the conservative or liberal parties which will be on the ballot in 1972. As a postscript 1 might add that I have just witnessed the very able performance of George Wallace on "Meet The Press and I find that of the three residential candidates he is certainly the coolest and east jittery and emotional.

You personally have my respect for such a kindness as this while were away from home. Surely you receive many notes of appreciation but the papre merits every compliment bestowed. You may cease sending the paper to me upon receipt of this letter. May acknowledgement of the Journal for its professional printing be realized in the future as it has in the past. Gratefully yours, Elder Kent R. Linton Sportsmen, Back Bennett Editor: I am prompted to write this letter because of ,i dirty and campaign ad by Mr. Weilen-rnann- . In this ad he accuses Senator Bennett of not being a friend of Utah Sportsmen. I am a three-timUtah State Rifle champion. was the only Utahn invited to participate in the final 68 Olympic Rifle team tryouts. Naturally, I keep well informed on how our senators and represenatives feel on the anti-gulegislation. A quote from a letter Senator Bennett sent to me in July, 1968, says: "My gun mail since the latest firearms control bill drive has passed the 5,000 mark. Interestingly enough, my mail from Utah is running upwards of 60 to 1 against any legislation. I am pleased that I agree with Utah's many sportsmen who have written. In August, 1968, Mr. Weilenmann appeared on Radio Station KSXX, Salt Lake City, in response to a listeners question. Mr. Weilenmann said that he favored gun registration on a federal level. In October, 1968, one of the strongest gun registration advocates, Senator Tydings, came to Utah to ampaign for his gun registration buddy, Mr. Weilenmann. To you fellow sportsmen I say: Senator Bennett wears the white hat. Mr. Weilenmann speaks with a forked tongue.
