In the Citizen, Fred Crown says, "Almost anybody who has something to say can make a speech, but not everybody who makes a speech has something to say.- N. This week In the Standard, we hope you will notice an ad explaining the various constitutional amendments which will appear on the ballot November 7. Look It up, and study each one. Changing the constitution of the state Is serious business. The only way It can be done without danger of adverse affects Is for every voter to study the proposed change carefully. The synopsis of each change Is printed In the ad to which we referred, which will be run each week for the next nine weeks. But sometimes this doesnt give you the whole picture. Between now and election time, we will try to offer additional information on each of the amendments. We suggest each voter also dig up whatever Information they can on each subject. If there Is still a question on a particular change, get a copy of the complete wording of the resolution asking for the change. This may offer greater help. There is at least one amendment with which we have reservations. But well try to give you both sides of the picture on each one, then make some recommendations and leave the balloting up to you. But we would also hope that voters still maintain a vigil over the constitution. We never want change for the sake of change. If the proposed change is not throughly dear and understandable, and If It does not offer a better program, your vote should be "no". But by the same token some changes are necessary. We must vote "yes" on such proposed changes tc give our state the chance to enjoy orderly progression. Anyway, be aware of what you will be voting on. Don't go to the polls uninformed. reason that life Is such a heavy load for some people is that they take everything for granite. One We enjoyed part of the day Friday with members of the Institutional council of Utah State University, as they toured the Uintah Basin, and then held their regular monthly meeting Saturday morning. In chatting with various educational leaders from the school, as well as members of the board, we were impressed with the support being offered to the program In this area. We feel sure that this group has the best interest of the people of the Basin at heart, and that the program for higher education will continue to grow here. It was apparent after the day and a half here, the group was even more cognisant of the growth and subsequent needs for education. They are to be commended for their Interest In outlying areas of the state, particularly one so Isolated as the Uintah Basin. And VOI.FMK HO NUMBER ROOSEVELT, DUCHESNE SB held at Ft.
