MJFITIM DOESN'T RW...HHI BO! ed , 3RD ANNUAL DIAPER K The only bright side to the Winter of 84 has been the willingness of neighbors and even strangers to stop and help others whose cars are stuck or stalled. It isnt unusual to see two or three cars stopped and people out pushing to help get a car rolling merely to clean off her windshield reported two motorists stopping to inquire if she needed help. Perhaps the floods of last spring and the volunteer action prompted by the resultagain. ing catastrophes triggered the One woman who stopped helping spirit that has carried Calling the Bluff on Legislators Review Editor: According to a public opinion survey, most Davis County resi- dents would approve of tax increases for education. Should people really take this poll seriously? One may well ask if the poll was conducted impartially. The pollster, Dr. Ray Briscoe, is himself a public school teacher of many years, and currently a member of the Davis County School Board. Isnt there a conflict of interest here? The Education Steering Committee Reform recom- mends $150 million in tax increases. It is noteworthy that every single member of the committee is either a politician, a bureaucrat, or from a big business receiving millions of dollars of government money. Considering the vested interests of the committee members, it is not surprising that they recommend higher taxes and bigger govern- ment. So what will happen? With a stacked Committee, intense bying by the teachers union, and a few polls of dubious accuracy, the Legislature will pass a whopping tax increase, probably around $75 million. And the Republicans who completely control the Legislature will brag to themselves and to the voters how conservative they have been with our money, and how Governor that would have taxed us to the them. If the Legislators believe in free enterprise, why dont they let families have freedom of choice in education through tax credits? And if they really want to know what voters think of tax increases, why dont they ask us by putting it on the ballot in a mittees, we might need to extend this good-neighb- Willy Marshall Libertarian Party Think of w lATON themselves in their animals place, and feel the piercing cold and the ache from lack of food and water.

Many arent fed for several days at a time. As my friend and I drove in the countryside, the animal suffering was apparent. The animals were digging at the hard, white snow, with no hay or water around. Undoubtedly, many owners find it inconvenient to feed and water their animals. Its also inconvenient for the animals to stand and freeze and starve. In the winter, outdoor animals require double food and water. They should be fed, both morning and at night, and at the same time, as well. They should have some type of overhead shelter to at least cut out the bitting wind, and snow. If owners cant take humane care of their animals, they shouldnt have them at all. . When anyone sees these poor it admit will not that They wouldnt matter in the least neglected animals, including what the Governor proposed, as chained dogs, they should speak with the owners, &nd or report they can do anything they please them to the proper authprities. with the budget, and the Governor is in no position to stop Negligent owners should put mean-old-liber- over to the winter. Whatever the cause, the good neighbor feeling has been practically the only sunshine in an otherwise dreary winter. If melting snowpacks in our mountains create further flooding this spring, as anticipated by flood control com I am an elementary school teacher. Thirty students in my class have been without books, paper, pencils, visual and motivational materials the past two years. Last yea'f, I spent $1,625.00 of my own money to buy the materials necessary to adequately teach these children. Please realize that until there are fewer students per classroom (some have 36 students per class), and at least enough money for essential materials, your children are being cheated out of the education you hope for. Until the legislature realizes that our childrens schooling is even more important than funding food for deer, the quality of education in Utah will continue to decline. Carolyn Larson- Kaysvtlle .
