The atmosphere was Intimate but the language was far from cozy last Tuesday night, Ocyober 6, when gubernatorial candidates met to spar for southeast Salt Lake votes. A power failure In Cotton- -' wood Mall auditorium pitched a town meeting session between DemocratCalvln Ramp-to- n and GOP Mitchell Mellch Into partial darkness. The near capacity audience missed only the grimaces and glares, however, The words came through loud and clear revealing sharp differences between the two men on almost every major Issue. and Quizzing by KCPX-TRocky Mountain Review news men was rewarded with fast, heated debate. The candidates answers Illustrated the choice existing for voters In the race for Utahs toughest Job. Money was the main topic . .how to get It and where to spend It. Mr Rampton wants to launch an attack on prohibitive freight rates to boost Utahs economy while Mr. Mellch Is afraid that would disrupt existing Industry. Views on schools differ but only In how Improvements could be accomplished. Extra revenue would come from different sources according to candidates statements Tuesday night. An expanded tourist business would be accom pllshed In entirely different ways depending on which man gains the governors chair. Mr. Ramptons opening remarks centered around his cure for the states economic Ills and the drive he would launch, If elected, to create a more favorable Industrial climate In the state. I wish to compliment the various groups working to attract industry, he said but we wont get Industry merely because we ask. Manufacturing concerns will come only if they can make a profit. "To establish Industry In this state, Mr. Rampton continued, we must create a situation where they can produce goods here, move them to markets and sell them competitively. He pointed out that Utah has the assets In raw materials, an outstanding labor source and low land cost. The liabilities, he said, are an unfriendly tax structure and freight rates that virtually make Utah an autonomy. Melich-Rampto- n state. TOURISM Mr. Mellch offered an expanded program for devel- oping Utahs tourist assets opposing Mr .Ramptons PUn to establish a $1 million budget to advertise attractions. He suggested a budget of no more than $175,000 to publicize the state. First we must develop our scenic he said, Better areas, roads and lodging facilities 1 A Rampton, Melich Race For Governors Existing rail freight rates, he said, are low for raw materials going out of the state and, to make up the difference high on manufactured goods. Thus, manufacturers must move nearer markets to sell competitively. He proposed a freight rate bureau - with an estimated budget of $50,000 per year to attack the existing rate structure. "Are not freight rates controlled by the Interstate Com Chair are needed. One must keep ones wits about one during an election campaign, mustnt one?

A rate shift, he said, could mean higher shipping cost to mining interests which might make them curtail operations In the ool plan. It may well be the salvation but we dont have all the facts yet.

During the summer these four factors combined to casue a shattering experience for approximately 250 windows in the Granite School District. Damage cost was extensive but because all repair bills are combined Into one account no figure could be given. However, the William Penn Elementary school, which suffered 81 broken windows, totaled their loss at $1,000. Vandalism and theft facts were revealed at the Granite School Board meeting, Tuesday, October 6. The board was told although window smashing headed the damage list, equipment was stolen and a flag pole rope line slashed. Only woman board member, Mrs. Howard B.

Or Just Good Old Salt Lake -- A committee of Utahs legislative council swallowed some hard facts Monday from two business executives and an Army colonel. Their reaction was expressed by Reed Bullen, State Senator from Logan and the Councils chairman: There arent any rainbows. Bullen parried with one hard fact himself In announcing that taxes will have to be raised next year, without any new programs, if the state is to meet even current demands for services. One of the executives, First Security Banks Harold Steele suggested that the demands might be curtailed. The session was the last In a series of statements by business ancK military leaders on the condition of Utahs economy, and what pe legislature can do about It. Besides Steele, J, P, O'Keefe, General Manager of Kennecotts Utah Copper Co. and Colonel William Stone, Commmadlng Officer of Dugway Proving Grounds were on tap. O'Keeffe predicted lower employment for Kennecott with higher production after present expansion plans are complete In 1967. He said Kennecott must reduce employment and other costs to compensate for higher cost of operating because of lower ore concentration. While layoffs are not contractually possible, attrition and turnover will reduce the labor force from the present 6700 to 5900. Through accelerated mechanization and better handling methods we will have the capacity to bring our production up to previous levels of about 6000 tons per month OKeefe said.
