S. Senator on this issue should be required reading. Senator George D. Aiken of Vermont, ranking Republican member of the Senate Agriculture Committee, addressing a national farm convention in Philadelphia, put the issue in proper perspective in blunt and challenging terms. " I Referring to last summers decisions of the CJ. S. Supreme Court calling for state legislatures to appor- tion both houses on the basis of population, he said: '"We are engaged in a struggle between the powerful machines of the great cities and the pedple of the United States. vital-Constitutio- n, Operating Committee of American Newspaper Representatives, America's largest newspaper advertising representative, at the corporation's annual business meeting In Chicago.

Zion Park lias 709.000 Visitors "Make no mistake about it this is a battle for the political control of the nation and with that control goes the power to tax, the power to spend, and the er to enact programs which will affect the lives and welfare of every living person for generations to come." One of the more devastating actions that could be taken by an urban dominated state legislature would be in the field of taxation, Senator Aiken warned. Superintendent Frank R. announced that on December 20, the 700,000th vis-itwas recorded at Zion National Park. This sets a new travel record and is the first time in the Park's history travel has reached this mark. With 10 days remaining in the year some 4.000 more visitors are expected, making 1964 the highest travel on record. The Visitors Center remains Ob-erhansl- ey or f "Certainly," he said, "the amount of taxes paid by farmers would be increased substantially, even though they would be distributed in such a manner that the major portion would go to the urban area. How does' Senator AikJen propose that the people fight against loss of representative government? He calls for submission of a Constitutional amend- ment "to see that all the) people of the United States get a chance to pass on it. Common justice demands, he said, that Constitutional amendment be submitted to Congress and the Congress should "settle once and for all the powers and limitations of the U. S. Supreme Court. 4 -- Whats more, Senator Aiken challenges the faint hearted by calling "for a fight to the finish. If we could spend five months in breaking a filibuster against legislation that affected the rights of only part of Uie people, we should spend all the next session, if need be, in breaking any filibuster aimed at restricting the rights of all the people. Those are plain words and they come from a man who is a veteran of many long and bitter legislative battles. He has issued a clarion call for action. It remains for zensKipP Q,o iA e to dischar9e their responsibilities n'fcj About 15 million acres of deteriorated rangeland In Utah are now producing at least 1000 pounds less forage per acre than they are capable of doing. Intensive improvement of this range area will be required if this important resource is to contribute its potential share of our food supplies. Research over the past 1 3 years by the Utah Station has shown that improvement of these lands through seeding, fertilizing, and spraying with herbicides can bring them to their full potential at economical cost. ,The challenge is now before every stockman and technical range manager to increase forage yields on every acre of grazing land to the maximum. Research has shown the way but the application of information must be made in the field by the users end managers, if more beef and lamb are to be produced. of non citi- - Public Hotico WORKS FOR UTAH'S FUTURE OF THE BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT, Salt Lake City, Utah.
