Show Pag Tim-Thur$da- April 15, 1982 y, EDITORIAL AND OPINIONS From my scratch pad Editorial: HSU2 (SirlaD I, John S. Floyd, as a human being and citizen of the United States of America, set aside my personal responsibilities to myself, my wife and daughter to address the Major Issues in America 1982. and Government Unemployment are the Major Issues in Taxation, America 1982. Ten years ago (1972), Ralph Nader and the Public Citizens Tax Reform Research Group went to Washington to remove taxes from this country. In 1982 you can lift up your eyes and look around at the results of that effort. This country (America) is the representation of people fleeing from countries all over the world, people running from tax burdens and abusive government. Taxation in this country (America) is contradictory to the very nature of the existence of this country (America). Taxation. The amount of money collected from State and Federal taxes (taxes on income, sales, franchise, excise taxes, and tariffs) in one year is more than likely enough money to keep every man, woman and child in this country (America) fully supported for ten years. This is an example of abuse by the Government. Taxation should be levied only on the sks Oixioim I Salt Lake County Recorder, Katie L. Dixon, 3781 Lois Lane, Salt Lake City, today announced that she will seek a third term as Salt Lake County Recorder on the Republican ticket. Mrs. Dixon has continually sought to increase the efficiency of her office. The implementation of the permanent property parcel identification system and the conversation to computers to store and retrieve information quickly have been initiated during her administration. At the present time, Mrs. Dixon is of the National president-elec- t Association of County Recorders and Clerks (NACRC). She was honored as the Outstanding Recorder of the Year in 1980 by the National Association of Counties. Dixon has been instrumental in drafting and securing the passage of state to update legislation recording procedures and to provide for more efficient management of county recorders offices. extremely rich, because they are the ones who profit most from the generosity of the masses. For without the masses, the rich could not possibly have accumulated their wealth. Greed. Greed in any way, shape or form must be monitored because along with greed comes destruction. The Deficit of America lies only in the minds of those people who wish to believe it. The Debt of American Government is to the people who comprise this country (America.) It is imperative that we (the people of this country) solve the 1982 Crisis because in the future lies an even more devastating crisis which the people will be faced with. In closing, I would like to disclose to the public, Americas Invisible Dictator the Internal Revenue Service. The I.R.S. has cleverly and ruthlessly proved itself to be an undisputed major power in America. A closer look at the attitude of the working class and the quality of production in America will reveal the adverse effect of the mere presence of the I.R.S. in America. JOHNS. FLOYD Los Angeles, California United States of America ftthM term Katie Dixon is involved in many community activities and was recently appointed a member of the Committee to Establish the Belle S. Spafford Endowed Chair (School of Social Work, University of Utah, Salt Lake City. A diligent worker for local government and in her political party, Dixon has been a member of the National Association of Counties Board of Directors and currently serves as a member of the NACo Community Development Steering Committee. She was one of 26 elected county officials called to Washington, D.C., in July 1981 to meet with President Ronald Reagan prior to the announcement of his economic recovery plan. Several months ago, in a fit of weakness, Glen and I bought a puppy for our kids. Another dog we had had was killed by a school bus, and the kids begged for another. The usual cries of, I promise Ill feed it, you wont have to and Ill clean up every mess, just you wait and see grated on our nerves and like water dripping on rock finally we gave in. This dog is just possibly the dumbest dog on the earth today. She has a passion for Emily and her bed, and that is where she sleeps when she can sneak into the house at night. The other night I went in to check on the kids before going to bed myself, and there was Corky stretched out on Ems bed. I didnt mind that as much as the fact that the dog was taking her half right out of the middle, and Emily actually had one foot planted oh the floor to keep from rolling off. The dog just loves my twins, that is shed love to eat them. They come up to here and give her a big love and try to kiss her and she nips off a chunk of lip or cheek. In spite of that, they love her to bits, and keep on trying to show her how much. I find them pouring food into her bowl, and then dragging it all over the house chasing her, to get her to eat. I have also caught them in the act of trying to stuff nuggets of puppy chow into her mouth. One holds open the mouth, and the other one shovels it in. We got her in the hopes that when snake season comes shell warn us of their presence. It doesnt look too promising though. She barks at us when we come home at night, but doesnt recognize the fact that the power meter reader, who is a total stranger, is casually strolling through the yard. We dont have any valuable jewels or anything like that, but I dont relish the thought of waking up to find Jack the Ripper grinning at me as Corky licks his hand. She is very fond of shoe leather, the newer the better. Last week, as revenge for locking her up inside so she couldnt follow us, she totaled three pairs of shoes. Since I was the unfortunate soul who happened to lock her up the shoes belonged to guess who. It wouldnt have been so bad, but they were three shoes from three different pairs. Really messes up your budget. I cant go barefoot everywhere, although I wish I could. After chastising her soundly, with a few smacks thrown in for good measure, she was sufficiently repentant to bring me a small gift and actually lay it at my feet. I was watching her slink away, and thinking she had possibilities after all, when I noticed that her gift was small, all right. It was a baby mouse. I was just thrilled, I cant tell you how much. Boy, was she in hot water then. This animal thinks she is human, and that is how she wants to eat. She wont turn down spaghetti or pizza, or even scrambled eggs, but forget all those things that make dogs come running in the commercials. She isnt of the canine persuasion by choice, and shed not going to eat like one. She is fond of turning over her just filled bowl to let us know that shed on a hunger strike and wont eat a thing until we pass the pancakes or cheese. My nearest neighbor happens to be a relative who informed me that one day Corky grabbed a a bag of potatoes from her garage and was making off with the goods when she caught her. I tried to explain that I have her trained only to grab edibles or money but she wasnt amused. All in all, inspite of her faults, she has wormed her way into our hearts. I am beginning to slip her tidbits under the table, And I even caught myself letting her in out of the rain the other night. I only have one condition: she hadnt better bring me any more presents.
