Moss, carried the fight to his GOP challengers throughout the race. He has held high government positions, including posts as assistant to the secretary of defense, senior staff economist with the Presidents Council of Economic Advisers and assistant director of the U S. Bureau of the Budget. While his GOP primary opponent banners his own lack of government experience, Mr. Carlson is quick to point out its benefits. A free enterprise" economist, Mr. Carlson states there are too many lawyers in Congress now and a divergent view is needed. He cites his candidacy has an "opportunity to participate in meaningful and productive work; the freedom to control our resources and activities; the right tu decide for ourselves how to live our lives. Stresses Private Sector In urging the curb of federal spending and interference in local affairs, Mr. Carlson says, We cannot look to the federal government for solution to all our economic and social problems. The government that offers everything is also the government that can take everything away. The answer to many of these problems lies at the state and local level, and in the private sector. "My work in the government has given me a broad working knowledge of Utahs problems. As an assistant to the secretaries of the A.ir Force and I dealt extensively with Hill Air Force Base and other defense activities in Utah. "As assistant secretary of the interior, I worked to giv e the people of Utah a greater say and control over the development and use of public lands and resources. . Experience, Knowledge "My experience has given me the two essential things necessary to be an effective senator: a clear understanding of Utahs problems and a thorough knowledge of how the federal government operates, he says. Mr. Carlson says he, too. would support a constitutional amendment to halt abortions on demand, and, as Mr. Hatch, advocates adherence to environmental concerns when developing energy.

Orrin Hatch Mr. Hatch "I'm a nonpoliticiun," the asserts at the beginning ol most campaign literature and speeches. Born in Pittsburgh, Pa., and a graduate of Pittsburgh Law School. Mr. Hatch has lioon active in the Church of Jesus Christ of Saints, is married and has six children. Fourth Branch His thrust has been centered around the "growing power of our fourth branch of government. "These approximately 5..5(H) governmental agencies headed by appointed bureaucrats are responsible for making more than 90 percent of our laws, vv itliout being held accountable for their actions. "This was not the intent of the framers of our Constitution, and the trend must be reversed, he Latter-da- y sav s. lie supports increased incentives for the exploration and production of domestic oil and gas, and supports a comprehensive energy policy that will "encourage re search and development and all types of energy conservation. Stand on Abortion He supports the Right to Life Amendment to tiic Constitution "Unlike the senior senator from Utah (Sen. Mossi you would not have found me voting to kill Bartlett amendment to SB ((." he says. This would have barred the use of lunds under the Social St cunty Act to pay for abortions except to save the life of tiie mother. He contends that government regulation has burdened the "free enterprise spirit" to a degree that discourages the American concept of business. On national morality. Mr. Hatch says lie is concerned about the "apparent moral breakdown taking place in our country today. The increase in pornography and crime should alarm us all, yel many of liaise in leadership ixisitions seem to lie the first to turn u blind eye to the problem " Biggest Difference He cites the biggest difference between himseii and Mr Carlson as being his own lack of government experience, and Mr. Carlson s long association with federal bureaucracy.

Mr. Hatch, a Salt Lake lawyer with one of the highest legal ratings his profession bestows, was unknown prior to his entry into the race on May 10, the final day for filing. He succeeded in turning his antipolitician" image into 778 nominating votes, second only to Mr. Carlsons 950. d State Auditor A.

I an corn inced that my background can be a great asset in creating this efficiency, he says. His maior thrust has been the responsibility he held at local governmental levels.

He is married and has six children. His major focus has been on attempts to diminish federal government ownership of land in Utah, which he contends has made the state a "federal colony. This deprives Utahns of the ability to develop natural resources, robbing Utahns of jobs In addition to tax revenues, he said. "The public lands question symbolizes my commitment to decentralization of government, my concern that Utah isn't being adequately represented, and it is intimately related to the energy issue, he said. Currently an Imbalance "Im not against environmental protections, but there is currently an imbalance. Man is the most important part of the environment. Recent decisions to withdraw Utah lands from energy exploration and development, and nondegradation requirements of the Clean Air Act, all show that Washington is out of touch with Utah's (and the nation's) leal needs." He has also stated he will push for "truth in taxing so that consumers, "who pay for everything, can know what it is they're paying (taxes) for. Commission.

"Government deficit spending has a devastating effect on the nation in the form of inflation. Inflation keeps you irom saving, getting out of debt, and erodes the benefits of retirement incomes. The only-wato get rid of government overspending and inflation is to get the high spending literals out of Congress and put people in who have a sense of fiscal responsibility, Mr. Marriott said. On a Course to Destroy "Congress is on a course to destroy small business with excess taxation, runaway regulations and red tape and very little, if any, incentives, he added. "Government incentives for small business growth can also ease the unemployment situation. "The entire welfare system needs to be examined closely to insure that the benefits are actually going to the truly needy "We need to get the leeches off the welfare pay roll and serve those who are truly in need.

Bureaucracies Enact Laws' "These bureaucracies now enact an estimated 95 percent of all federal laws, but those m these bureaucracies who write the laws aren't elected by the people. This constitutes not only a violation of the Constitution, but a threat to our political freedoms and our ability to control our government. "A rei kless Congress has placed upon tile American people a heavy burden of taxes and inflation. We need a responsible Congress to reduce taxes, stop inflation and control the powers of regulatory agencies. This would go a long way toward stimulating the economy and creating jobs. If elected.
