Lyndon the American LaRouche, who once called himself Lenin and who has attacked the nations leading conversative organizations has been described by the news media as a candidate of the far right. The most obstinate communists within the Kremlin are called "archconservatives by Western journalists. In Japan, the conservative party is known as the Liberal Democratic Party. Ip Australia, conservatives are simply Liberals; In Sweden, they are Moderates. If youre confused, youre not alone. The labels we apply to politicians are often mis -leading, because there are no clear standards. What makes one Senator an ultrarightist and another a moderate? Nobody knows for sure, but recent research provides a clue. During a five year period ending October 31, 1984 THE WASHINGTON POST used the term far right 390 times and far left 131 times. Ultraright was used 47 times, Ultraleft only was used 74 times, 12 times; ultraconservative ultraliberal only 27 times. Of stories referring to extremists of the left or right, 56 percent referred to rightists and five percent to leftists; the remainder of the stories referred to both left and right. There were 58 stories using the term and there was one story (one!) archconservative using the term "archliberal. The Nexis computer system, which includes THE NEW YORK TIMES, the POST, and other newspapers magazines, newsletters, and wire services, lists 846 stories that have appeared in the nations press in the last few years using the word ultraconservative. Only 118 stories have used the word ultra-liberand a random check Indicates that the overwhelming majority of those cases involved reports of name --calling by politicians (Senator attempted to paint his opponent as ultraliberal When a reporter characterized a today . . politician as "ultra the odds were ten -- to -- one that the politician was a conservative. A similar study of television network news stories during the recent presidential campaign revealed that the term far right was used ten times as often as far left despite the fact that one of the major candidates traveled to Cuba to praise that nations communist government. ng exotic radicals, the extremists, the right, the fringe, the "reckless or the radical right. In all, CBS called the Republicans or a similar exconservative, right pression 114 times during their convention. At the Democratic convention, where the party nominated Its most liberal ticket in history, CBS referred to Democrats as liberal, left wing, or some variation only 20 times; Democrats were called centrists, or conservatives kook middle-of-the-roade- 16 If Sherlock Holmes were called in on the case, given and asked to deduce whether the national news media were biased against conservatives, how long would it take him to figure it out? Politicians are ultras and arches and far rightists by one standard only -- - the standard of prevailing opinion within the national journalistic community. Ted Kennedy Is not an ultraliberal because, to the average Washington reporter, he seems rather moderate. Yet the ability to label persons as far right or far left can be the ability to make or break political careers. I know ultraconservaives who received that lable for doine nothine more radical than supporting Ronald Reagan for the GOP presidential I know Marxists who get away with nomination; calling themselves progressives or even "moderates.

The thing that bothers me is that weve never knownUP&Lto finance any project - certainly not $60 million, without going before the PSC for a rate increase to pay for It. So I have to ask myself, and the PSC Have we rate payers already paid the $60 million for Hunter IV, that UP&L is now asking us to pay again? Before they add another dollar to our monthly bill for the next five years, we think that question ought to be answered to the rate payers satisfaction. WANT cab cotiiiiTrPn Pick the right toy for the right age Toys are given with the intent of bringing joy to children of all ages. Unfortunately, about 125,000 children are injured in toy -- related accidents each year. Many of these accidents could be avoided if parents became better toy shoppers. Toy safety is important year-roun- d, but especially during the Christmas season when 60 percent of the toys are purchased, says Steve Bilbao, Extension safety specialist at Utah State University. The major cause of accidents involving toys is when toys designed for older children fall into the hands of younger children, UP&L PROPERTY TAXES IN COUNTY $289,072,93 Utah Power & Light Co. paid a hefty tax bill for one days work last Thursday $28.5 million. Beaver Countys share was $289,072.93, delivered to Beaver County Treasurer Rondo Farrer, by UP&L Manager, Normand Thompson. This was an increase of over $200,000 over last years $83, 626.60. The difference was largely due to the Blundell Geothermal plant at Roosevelt Springs north of Milford which went on line this pretty year. The utility paid property taxes but two of the states 29 counties Friday, which was the deadline for property tax payments. The amount was about $1.2 million more than UP&Ls tax bill last year. ni Company spokesman John said Emery County, where the utility operates two coal -- fired power plants, received the largest share. It got more than $14.7 million about $400,000 more than the utility paid that county last year. Salt Lake County received the second largest share. It got a little more than $4 million from the utility. Its most likely that Beaver County will receive even more property taxes next year, since the power plant was only assessed at three-quartcompletion this year, and UP&L is in the process of constructing a new service center In the Milford Industrial Park, which should be completed early in to all Ser-fusti- mm Another area of danger identified by the CPSC, Bilbao says. Is toy chests. Many Injuries and deaths have occurred when young children were caught under the falling lids of toy chests. The CPSC recommends that you either store your childrens toys on shelves or in toy chests with lids that lock when theyre open. Bilbao suggests these general guidelines for buying toys: Look for these Read labels. c, words Important flame retardantflame resistant, washable, hygienic material for stuffed toys and for electronic toys. Buy the right toy for the right age. Toy labels usually provide you with information on the age group the toy Is designed for, but these are only guidelines.

HSwever, the frost wont necessarily put these pests to rest, according to Extension specialists at Utah State University. Frost may kill garden plants, but leaf and stem disease organisms that Infected vegetables and ornamental plants are likely to find a way to survive In plant residue or soil. If you have plant material that is heavily Infected with disease organisms, its a good idea to burn or discard it. Such organisms In the soil, how, ever, will remain. To combat these, plant resistant varieties next spring, or rotate your crops. Moving plants from one area to another helps avoid buildup of disease causing organisms. Certain plant viruses die when their host plants die. But some survive in winter annual weeds, such as mustards. So its a good idea to clear out those weeds before Its time for spring planting. throats. LsaasjBtairDSJ USPS Frost gives break to kill weeds Bilbao says. The toy Industry and the Consumer Produrt Safety Commission (CPSC) do a good job of testing and labeling toys, but that doesnt do much good If the parents dont read the labels.
