Class officers for the senior group Aliamont rites May 25 says Its all right to save money, too many people are trying to save S. D., but If from folks they owe It to. Weve had a lot of comment tUs past our readers, on a variety of subjects. Take taxes for Instance. The other day a man called and said, "Boy, were you ever wrong. You said In your editorial a few weeks ago that taxes wouldnt go up much, and when I got my assessment today, it was just about double. How do you explain that? After explaining the tax laws for several minutes he accepted the fact that just because Us valuation doubled doesnt mean that Us taxes will double. It depends on what mill levy Is finally set come August. But we assured Urn that with that large of an Increase In valuation, Us taxes would be sure to go up considerably. Many others have Inquired abot the tax Issue. So, we have gleaned what Information we could and tried to explain the situation In our editorial tUs week. And then there Is the traffic light question. Most of the people who talked to us about our article last week felt that something needs to be done to improve traffic flow in the center of Roosevelt. But then there was one man who said, "I think youre wrong". He went on to point out that if a traffic light were put In the middle of Roosevelt, the truckers would scream so loud the state would route the highway around Roosevelt. Also he maintained that a light would back up traffic on the Ughway for two or three blocks both ways. And he maintained that local drivers should avoid the center of town and leave the through traffic alone. We have no argument with through traffic and trucks. They contribute to the economic base of the community. But It would appear to us that If one traffic light in 130 miles of highway would cause such an Inconvenience to the motoring public that the state would spend millions of dollars to route the highway around us, then someones values are all mixed up. And If traffic Is so heavy on the highway that It would back up two or three blocks In the 30 seconds that the light would be red, can you Imagine the difficulty In trying to cross the highway now? With a traffic acuated light (which would only be activated when side traffic approaches and then limited to timed Intervals which would allow at least a traffic flow on the highway) It is possible that every third car could have up to a delay. But at the present time all local traffic suffers In trying to reach the center of town, or cross the highway. At some times during the day it Is virtually Impossible to cross the road without pulling into traffic flow, This practice forcing them to stop. Is dangerous. Anyway, we still feel a light Is needed. We had And on still another subject. a man stop In the office and ask, "How do you get your name In the paper?' He went on to say that he had lived here for several years, and not had his name mentioned In the paper once. He said, "It looks like you can't get your name In the paper unless youre a Mormon". We were taken stack somewhat, but explained our "correspondent" system of news from the various communities. We asked him if he knew our correspondent He said that he did. In his community. We asked If he had ever made himself known to her, or had he ever furnished her with a news Item which he would have liked In the paper, or had he ever let her know when he accomplished something that would have been newsworthy. He answered no to these quirles. We'll agree that sometimes our correspondents get in a rut (as all of us do at timesX They write about the people they know and hear about. Some people feel that they should lie however. But It Is Impossible for any correspondent to know of the goings and comings of every person In town. If you feel you have accomplished something that is of worth, let your correspondent know. Dont expect her to find out atiout it. And if any correspondent leaves your name out Just because you are not a Mormon, or not a Catholic, or not a protestant, or because you are an "outsider" In the But at least community, let us know. give her a chance.

NUMBER 21 One final note. It apears that the trip to Washington by Moon Lake representatives did some good. Within two days after coming back from the capltnl, word was received that Moon lake's expansion loan had been Improved. Today we received word that the final plans for the new office building had been approved (less than 20 days where It often takes upwards of CO days). The officers of our local electric association are well known In Washington. They are respected. The company Is sound, and it would appear that It will continue to serve the needs of tills area.
