Letters to the Editor Dear Editor: In the paper last week, Mr. John Creer objected to Austin Belnap referring to Utahs Land Use Bill as a "federal act. "It Is not, Mr. Creer said, "The Utah Land Use Bill which was passed by a Utah Legislature Is a Utah Solution to a Utah Problem. However, the "Utah solution ties us directly to the federal law. For example, Section 5, subsection 4, says, "Receive, allocate and disperse fund made available to the state under federal land The guy that use legislation. signs the check is usually the boss! Representative Steiger, speaking of the federal bill said, "HR19294, as ordered reported, still contains line after line of requirement, criteria, instructions and suggestions the States must consider or comply with before the Secretary decides if a state is eligible to receive a grant. Mr. Creer also thought it ridiculous that Mr. Belnap said the Act will "take away the citizens right to private property. The bill, however, gives the appointed commission power to plan ALL LAND, which includes private property. "The commission is authorized to perform and exercise the following functions, powers and duties: Formulate a comprehensive state land use plan in which ALL LAND AND OTHER NATURAL RESOURCES in the state are considered through a land use planning process. . . The bill also violates the 5th, 7th, and 9th amendments to the U. S. Constitution. Frederic Bastiat, a French economist, statesman and author, said 125 years ago, "The law cannot avoid having an effect upon persons and property; andifthe law acts In any manner except to protect them, its actions necessarily violate the liberty of persons and their right to own property. It, the bill, also violates our Utah Constitution. Article 6, Section 28 states: 'The Legislature shall not delegate to any special commission, private corporation or association, any power to make, supervise or interfere with, any municipal improvement, money property or effects, whether held In trust or otherwise, to levy taxes, to select a capitol site or to perform any municipal function. Respectfully, JoAnn Braithwaite Dear Editor: Where did man get his right to own land? God gave the use and control of land to Adam and his de- Should it be the property owner, someone he hires to plan for might not need to stand with his gun day and night to protect his property, life and liberty. He could leave that job to the sheriff, and he could go about improving his property and providing for himself and his family. Government control of land use takes away that right. It also destroys the human will to develop and create. It isnt a matter of land planning its who Is going to do God-giv- en Historical the planning. Individual him, or government? I believe in the Individual, and Im sure God had confidence In our ability to take care of the land, and develop it for the best good, for the most people. I dont think the American people want government control of their land. They want to remain a free people.
