Show Page 2 The Utah Independent March The uiffiia 21 , 1974 The Paper That Dares To Take READERS OUTLOOK Independent Z Dedicated To The Free men can vote themselves into slavery, but slaves cannot vote themselves free. J. Reese Hunter OVERTHROW THE GOVERNMENT, ANYONE? ... Mankind are more disposed to suffer... than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.... But when a long train of abuses and usurpations...evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right , it is their duty to throw off such government. (from our Declaration of Independence.) Does that sound revolutionary? It was when it was written in 1776, but it is absolutely legal today. If ever the time was right for America to throw off a government, it is now. Anyone who doubts that there is a design to reduce us Federal Sometimes at reality. It is our 'right and our duty to throw off despotic not throw off the people with power government Constitution. Lets not make the two synonymous, for they are anything but that. Governments change. The Constitution remains the Supreme Law of the Land, the foundation of our national existence. MWe the People of the United States...do ordain and establish this Constitution, says the first Preamble. But we are rather like the housewife who got up one morning determined to clean every closet in the house, then spent the day gossiping over the back fence. Just so, We the People started out to do a job that needed doing, but have ended up at something completely removed from our original aim. We began by being concerned with the protection of pur freedom to practice our inalienable rights. Now we demand that government feed1 the poor, educate our children, take care of Grandpa and Grandma, build our houses, pay our medical, bills, and a host of other Services. We have come to equate freedom with a full belly and the right to vote. ' In spite of all the talk we hear about change these days, there are some things which never change. One of them is mans lust fPr power, and his use of human envy and laziness to gain that power. Many patriotic Americans say that some time in the future, conditions may be more favorable for living by the Constitution. I would like to kinow when that more favorable time will come. How will it be brought about?

Hence the word SOW which stands for Status of Women just as NOW" stands for National Organization For Women. Members of the SOW councils are and receive only but the Councils expense money; hire one or more Professionals who are full time payrollers. They lobby directly at the State Capitol, appear as witnesses at the hearings on ERA, make speeches to organizations all over the State, and appear widely on T.V. and radio talk shows in behalf of ERA. The Federal SOW employees are, funded by Federal tax money. The State SOW employees may be funded. by State tax money; but more often are funded at least partially, and sometimes entirely, by Federal tax money; likewise for the local SOW employees. Tax money pays not only the salaries of these women but also pays for their, office and telephone expenses, the numerous expensive booklets and other literature which they print, and the postage for mailing the literature, including the franking privilege at the Federal level. Do you think it is right to buy a constitutional amendment with tax dollars? Is it illegal for public employees to lobby at tax payers' expenses? Mrs. Ruth A.

The principal device for this improper funding of political and lobbying activity is what is called The Status of Women Councils. These Councils operate at the Morality, and Truth Constitution, Liberty, Stand A Sleeper . Bills Dear Editor: lama regular subscriber to the Utah Independent. 1 have an idea I . am presenting for your "Study. - In Ohio, in addition to a state sales tax of 4 (four) percent, we have a state income tax. Wehave a Toledo City income tax of 12 (one and one-hal- f) percent. The has a piggy-bactax of County 12 (one-hal- f) percent which the state adds to their total at the cash register, and then remits to the county their share. So our county has practically no collection costs. In the hopper of the State Legislature at Columbus, - they have a house bill that among other things would give the county commissioners right to levy a county income tax. I know that in just about everyone of our state capitols the legislatures are cooking up this 1 k" type of bill which I call sleepers, because the citizens are hot aware of what is going on. I have said that the people could elect their legislators, pay them to go on a two year vacation and not miss them. Continued on page 3 AID TO RUSSIA Ben Congressman; of Blackburn Georgia . is effort to making an all-othe to block shipment enemy its and Soviet Union (the allies) of the most modem and ut American sophisticated computers and technology. of American sale The computers and technological devices to Russia has enabled the enemy to save two years time in developing its first multiple warhead MIRV. What Representative Blackburn refrained from saying was: Every American be he President, Congressman, businessman, or plain citizen -- the who deliberately helps enemy, is a traitor. WHY THE DIFFERENCE? i Our high officials and businessmen are helping the enemy constantly, and getting away with it. But an Air Force Sergeant named James D. Wood, has been arrested for delivering classified military documents to the Soviets. Why the difference? Wood couldnt possibly have jeopardized our safety and security as much as have Nixon, Kissinger and countless American Big Businessmen who are largely for whatever responsible industrial capacity the Soviet Union now possesses. Moral: if youre going to be a traitor, dont . be a Sergeant, be a General. SECRETS As I have remarked before in discussing Watergate and other atrocities, secrets the only the American government has are the secrets it withholds from its own citizens. According to FBI reports, Soviet Embassy staffs contain from 50 to 80 percent spies. At least 80 percent of the Soviet and at delegations Nations Soviet-blo- c the are Central once head, 0 While in youre sitting your living room wearing your long underwear, President Kissinger is riding around in a chauffered limousine you own, which gets about five miles to the gallon. And, while were ' on the subject, the gasoline being used' to forcibly bus children for racial balance purposes amounts to an estimated one billion two hundred nineteen million two hundred seventy-on- e thousand gallons a year. That amount of fuel would adequately heat about a half million homes. NEW GAME Someone sent me an interesting game to play. You can do it instead of to kill time. Start with the figure 6 and put it opposite the letter A, then add 6 to it and put the total by the letter B; and so on through the alphabet. Thus, youll come up with these totals: tic-tac-to- e, A-6;- B-12; G 42; 1 V-1- 3.2; Y-1- 50; 1- J-- -54; 60; N-- 84; M-- 78; P-- 96; 0-- 90; S H-- 48; L 72; K-- 66; F-- 36; E-- 30; D.-- 24; C-- 18; 14; T 120; U-1- 26; W 138; X-1- 44; Z 156. . Then, vertically, spell the name KISSINGER and put whatever number is beside each letter in its appropriate place, and then add them up. Thus you come up with the total shown ' an below, interesting answer, especially to Christians: 66 .54 K I S .....114 S 114 .54 N G E R 84 42 30 : 108 66b Dulles, that the Soviets had over 40 high-levagents in various Washington departments and agencies during World War II.
