As mentioned previously in does not state properly protecting persons accused of Its claimed also believes a suspect freed, he can set these IN OTHER words, advocates want a felon running loose BUT LETS TURN the coin over. As stated at present its not un- common for felons to continue plying their trade regardless of earlier arrests. Shouldnt the be rights protected against publics the obvious? As for assuming guilt, we believe this is already done to a degree when a person is bound over to district court for trial after preliminary hearing in a city court. The following, taken from a Brigham City court record book, says it: Whereupon it appears to the court that the offense charged in the complaint had been committeed and dont and committing more serious crimes while waiting trial on an earlier offense. The same ,with those on parole or probation. The primary argument against restricting bail is that it fails to sufficiently recognize the accuseds rights. It supposes guilt on ensuing offenses, denying the proposition that a man is innocent until proven guilty. With the backlog of cases reportedly existing in some courts, how could we guarantee that a there also appearing sufficient cause to believe the defendant.. committed the same, it is ordered that the said defendant... be held to answer to the offense charged in the complaint... ALSO, ITS reasonable to assume that eliminating the prospect of bailing out on additional offenses may discourage the commission of those acts. What is our conclusion? We tend to favor the proposals intent. However, with one federal court in Texas already finding that first degree murder is now a bailable offense, there is reason to believe it might fall in the face of a legal challenge. suspect wouldnt be jailed for months before coming to trial? And what is meant exactly by the phrase, a proposition the rights of crimes. that if a judge should not be the bail at an exorbitant level, exceeding the defendants ability to meet it. columns, among four constitutional amendments proposed in Utah this year, only No. 2 restricting bail in certain felony cases has prompted us to express reservation. However, were of the opinion that most Utahns will support it when they go to the polls on Nov. 7. Why? Probably because its the mood of society that violators are getting more than an even break in their bouts with the law. The proposition specifically asks: Shall Section 8 of Article I of the State Constitution be amended to provide that persons shall not be bailable when accused of a felony while on probation or parole, or while free on bail awaiting trial on a previous felony charge, where the proof is evident or the presumption strong? ...where the proof is evident or the presumption strong?

Different on this occasion was that contributors as. Vietnam, East it commanded a world stage. Literally millions of persons through television coverage could watch the drama being played out. Thus they became more personally involved. We were caught up in the macabre incident with greater intensity than is conveyed through a newspaper account or a routine newcast. means of resolving differences. 20th Olympic MIDDLE EAST conflict provides a breeding ground for such acts. But it has no corner on the THE market of brutality. That roll call is long, extending from mans beginning, more recently including such bloody Pakistan, Northern Ireland, and Biafra. What we mean to say here is that what happened in Munich is simply another example of mans apparent unquenchable thirst for violence as a WE DO NOT believe it will end the Olympics, as well it shouldnt. And in fact, the incident probably will fade in most memories until the pangs of grief and anger are dulled to essentially nothing. And that will be a crime perhaps more sorrowful than the slaughter of 11 team members. Instead of being a catalyst for peace, their deaths will have been in vain, just another incident in a continuing series of incidents. If so, then too bad for all of us. Israels Will You Vote Tuesday ? think, in our optimistic moments, that citizens are becoming more vitally aware of government and how they can exercise a hand in determining its course. We prefer to believe that our age is a more enlightened one, infused by an independent and vibrant spirit of the young. If this is the case, then Box Elder county should experience a relatively heavy turnout at the polls next Tuesday for the primary elections. We hope so. THE SOUTH BOX Elder PTA council and its local units, in cooperation with the Brigham City League of Women Voters, sponsored meetings last Thursday evening for voters to meet candidates for the Box Elder Board of Education and to hear their views. In another effort to stimulate interest and participation, the LWV has prepared Voter I.D. Cards on which a citizen can quickly identify his voting district, school precinct, congressional district, etc. This is in the best tradition of voter assistance by the League. It and the PTA are to be commended. BUT WHAT ABOUT you, Mr. and Mrs. Voter? Are you going to jump on board the election bandwagon and be among those casting primary ballots? As stated before, we hope so! JGmOOiS Opinion RUSKIN, NEBR., LEADER: For a long time this country has cincts.
