HAPPENINGS AT THE UTAH contracts; Not only in public meetings, where both the Republican and Democrat nominees are summoned to the platform and ordered to convincingly endorse the churchey line, but also in private meetings at the homes of the ultra wealthy, the politicians are hectored to parrot this creed, and the candidate who does it most convincingly gets the vote and financial support. Ironically, the types do not contribute any money to the Salvation Army or to other sincerely charitable organizations. But in their pious way they support the federally-finance- d y handouts to Negro petty tyrants of Africa and Latin American and Asian cruel dictators. These federally-finance- d aid programs, of course, eventually percolate into the coffers of giant U.S. corporations that pay dividends to these pampered coupon-clippewho so hypocritically support integraWhites with Negroes. tion for working-clas- s emocrats and the Re-publicans presently are in vicious competition for the Negro vote and even more so for the churchey vote comprising the great majority of the Protestant faiths that belong to the World Council of Churches and the liberal segment of the Catholic Church. Both militantly promote forced racial integration. It is a formidable political combination that strikes terror in the hearts of politicians. Even in the predominantly Catholic states of New England, where Negroes are only about 5 of the population and only recently have created a disturbance in Boston relative to compulsory school busing, the Protestant Council of Churches and Catholic liberal segments have for years been intimidating both the Democrat and Republican candidates for office to pledge devotion to forced integration.

The responsibility lies heavy on their shoulders as they try to become better educated on each issue. There have been many leading bills before the Legislature and more are to come, but an exciting one was the Agency Shop Bill which brought heavy debate on the House floor and filled the gallery with interested citizens. Rep. Hokanson spoke on the evils of something for nothing and free agency and free shop agency which Continued on page 9 . .

Why?... Thus began a series of large ads in newspapers throughout Idaho just prior to the legalizing of gold by the federal government on Dec. 31, 1974. The first time in 40 years its been legal for U.S. citizens to own gold. Some banks and other financial institutions have announced plans to sell gold to the public. But not First Security, no siree! Now then, said ad was. several times as large as the bank's usual ads asking citizens for their business. Ever wonder why the above ad was 400 percent larger than their regular ad. the negative one so much larger than the And over the positive one? signature of the bank president? For the benefit of readers who didn't see the ad. allow me to excerpt from this community leader and chief executive officer of the bank. I assure you I have no intention to distort the words of George S. Eccles, who signed the ad as president of the bank. So far as I know he is a fine and respected gentleman. Mr. Eccles ad said that to sell gold would be contrary" to the best interests of our depositors, our local economy, and the economic It said health of our nation. functions no as longer ...gold ...a sterile commodity money." which makes virtually no contribution to the nation's economy and which fluctuates daily and often wildly in price." The ad goes on, It is not a surefire hedge against inflation. Gold prices are not regulated in the U.S." Punch line: GOLD is BAD news. Well, just for openers, gold DOES, too, function as money. This is so obvious I won't comment further. Mr. Eccles may have a point when he says gold ...isnt in the best interests of our depositors." i.e.. the bank. Sure, if people trade their savings accounts for gold what will the bank use for its loan money? Good point. But what Mr. Eccles omitted is: Why are so many people doing just that? Could it be that they are losing confidence in our printed money? This money has some pretty big risks, too. And just what is a surefire hedge against inflation? Surely paper money and savings accounts are not being touted by the bank as having performed better. I have no reason to think the bank nor its president insincere, ignorant, or trying to rip off the public. But the ad grates its size, the vehemence and tone of the mes sage and signed by the First Security Bank's chief officer supervising the chain's some 120 branches in Utah and Idaho.
