Our elected in representatives Washington continue to pass bills that ever increase the cost of doing business such as higher minimum wage, higher social security taxes, and a energy plan which will not solve the pie-in-the-s- problem. I recommend that everybody in Washington take a year's vacation and let the rest of us recuperate." That statement was made recently by a publisher down in Speedwell, Tenn. And although the comment was made somewhat facetiously, it certainly doesn't extend too far beyond the facts as they now exist. The three areas of concern he brings up are just a small I had the opportunity to speak to the Utah Heart Association last Friday evening on the topic of voiunteerism. As I got involved with the topic and its part of the long list that could have been mentioned. But they are horrendous examples of the barriers that face small business (and farmers, for that matter.) The Social Security travesty is a prime example. It seems inconsistent to us that' the only corrective measures ever taken to solve the problems of social security is to pour more money into it Nothing is done to streamline outmoded, wasteful procedures within the structure. Nor do politicians realize that social security cannot continue to be the means of "buying votes," by continually making promises of pots of gold down the highway. Social security could work if it were utilized as originally intended, with modifications for changing conditions through the years. But to use is as a promise of everything you need for retirement," will see the system continue on the road to destruction, taking many small businesses with it. Another travesty is the minimum wage. Were certainly not against a person receiving just recompense for his work, but raising the minimum wage wont benefit anyone. It will succeed in causing a full range of wage increases from the lowest worker to the top. It will have a tendency to increase the disparity between the top paid man and the lowest, rather than closing this gap. And we feel there is too great a spread now. But of even greater concern is the effect of this legislation on young wage earners, on employees in marginal businesses, and on small business in general. In the first place, the higher minimum wage has been, and will continue to be, an effective eliminating tool work WILDLIFE REPORT UTAH S1OTE DIVISION SALT LAKE CITV OF WILDLIFE RESOURCES for for coming on the job market They need experience to justify the wage, but cannot get the experience because of the high minimum. Marginal businesses, in order to meet the higher minimum wage, find it necessary to eliminate jobs. One merchant in Colorado stated that in his retail store he found it necessary to accept" a higher rate of shoplifting, because it was less expensive than hiring added employees to curtail the practice. Perhaps it sounds like a broken record, but we again emphasize the fact that people cannot continue to get something for nothing. Big government cannot promise us everything, because the only place big brother can get it in the first place is from the little guy. We need to realize that there are many things that we should do for ourselves. True, there are things we cannot. But when we turn rights and responsibilities over to government, that be better place for everyone. handled by ourselves, then the cost more than doubles. Propaganda touts the fact that we are getting it free", but it just doesn't work that way. Our nation was built on free enterprise. There are those who would destroy this system. And we fear they are having their way. If you do not speak out in opposition, you are in a sense supporting the movement. We feel our system is worth fighting for. Do you?

As a result, although last years record was blemished, not a single hunter was hurt as a result of mistaken identity in this years hunt. The future is encouraging. Pheasant Opener Rated Fair from regional Preliminary summaries personnel of the Division of Wildlife Resources indicate that the state's pheasant hunters are realizing a success ratio about equal to that experienced last year. Information compiled from early bag checks show hunter success to be about the same as Division biologists had in hunters the predicted, with northeastern section of the state enjoying better returns for their efforts than in other parts of the state. Overall, however, the number of birds harvested per hunter would tend to give the season a Fair rating, although final hunt tallies may raise that figure significantly. . The northern region of the hunter success to be identical-overalast with that experienced season, with hunter success in Box Elder County slightly lower. In the central region, Juab and Sait Lake counties had success ratios a little higher than last year, with Sanpete and Tooele counties down and Utah County remaining about the same. The southern and southeastern areas of the state maintained ratios comparable to last season. Division of Wildlife Resources field personnel reported hunter pressure to be about the same as last year. According to Division biologists, the Wolfcreek pass road now closed U-3- state-showe- - population has pheasant apparently stabilized after a production . But a continuing low during trend in the depletion of both quality and quantity of pheasant habitat makes predictions for the future difficult at best. Hunter Safety Record Blemished To maintain a record of near perfection is difficult, but although the deer hunters of Utah have had their hunter safety record of last year blemished by a recorded fatality, there is still ample reason for pride. Last year marked the first deer hunting season in Utah without a recorded gun related fatality. This year that record fell when a hunter evidently The Utah Department of Transportation closed several summer recreation area roads for the winter season beginning Friday, Nov. 11. Wolfcreek Pass, beginning at the end of the pavement at Woodland to the 'North Fork of the Duchesne River, was included in the closures. Mirror Lake Already closed is Road. These roads are closed each winter soon after the deer hunt when traffic volumes decline. Signs advising motorists of the closures are posted at each of the locations, and motorists are warned that the roads are not plowed or patrolled until the signs are removed in the apring. Motorists proceeding beyond the signs do so at their own risk. ll - state's 1974-75- dropped his revolver, which discharged, inflicting a fatal wound to the chest. But there was only one incident of a hunter being shot by another, and in that case the wound was caused by a nearly spent bullet that was apparently a ricochet. In total there were five gun shot incidents during the deer season, four of the five involving with wounds. Two involved handguns; the other two related to deer rifles. In every instance exrept the case involving the ricochet wounding, the accidents were avoidable and the result of poor judgement on the part of the individual who was wounded. All but the one accident oerurred within five yards of the discharging weapon, and three of the four took place while the hunter was in camp. Considering that over 175,000 hunters took to the mountains this year and considering that less than 20 rears ago Utah hunters were recording an average of more than 120 accidents a deer season, even this year's record is enviable. But according to Ia-Robertson, hunter safety mirdinator for the Division of Wildlife Rcsnurrcs, enviable is not good enough. His goal, and the goal of the hundreds of voluniccr hunter safety instructors of the state, is to have an acrident free hunt. That goal may one day be reached, because in the last 20 years more than 300.000 Utah residents have taken the course in hunter safety required and laws such as the one requiring hunters to wear a covering of distinctive SE3D0MB d INTERESTING FACTS, BROUGHT TO YOU BY JAY GATES Four of the 50 U.
