We're creating a new monster You would think that with all of the repercusions we are experiencing as a result of governmental control programs of various sorts, economists and government planners could see the fallacy of stringant controls and false supports of commodities in an effort to keep prices within supply and demand steps were interrupted, and the esteemed planners did not notice the shift from surplus to need. No new facilities were provided to handle additional production, and steadily rising costs which were created in part by the false supports, finally caught up with certain guidelines. It just isnt working, and we feel it never producers. Consequently we suddenly shifted from a surplus situation to one of need". Overnight shortages and higher production costs began driving prices up. So the planners acted. Or 'One good thaw would do it !' Conrather they "over-actedtrols were suggested in various phases.

Perhaps we could take a lesson from the cry of the ecologists: Anytime you upset the balance of nature, even in the name of progress, you are possibly creating a monster of unknown proportions. This is true of the economy. False supports can bring overproduction which in turn requi- res even greater supports to maintain a norm. Price controls n also v ork opposite than the ndi.i .course. Since high u es are generally fostered by supply, price controls tend to curtail additional action, and thereby create . greater shortages and r prices.

Over correction there will bring about a chain reaction of increasingly large , swerves that often end in total destruction of the trailer. When we try to control the economy, we tend to over-reac- t. Tight controls, as well as unwarranted supports tend to begin a chain reaction that is nearly impossible to stop. And we are in that condition right now. Weve gone through a period of support programs, maintaining a false foundation under many of our commodities, keeping us in a "surplus situation. But since the economy was not based on true need, natural ". 1 Dear Editor, Hie alarm sounded by Mr. Hugh Wamanager of the Provo River article an in prinAssociation, ter Users ted in the UinUh Basin Standard last week ia a signal for us who have a deep interest and a lifetime investment in the Uintah Basin. He said, We are trewater mendously upset by the fact that to ia happen going users are told what after things have happened. We have viewed the development and at progress of the Central Utah Project Brat with great interest and then with land great apprehension. Sensing that Uinwater, users- - of the owners-hen- ce, inUh Basin have been only meagerly of ReBureau the wrote we formed, clamation, PO Box 1338, Provo, Utah 84601, and asked for complete information with accompanying maps on the Central Utah Project We received seven brochures which included simplified maps and one separate equally simple map. Upon study of them, our apprehension increased. We Americana have come to accept the right of the majority as one of the sacred, inalienable rights. The safeguards set up in original constitutional law to give some voice to the minority seem to have been swept aside. Consider the following exerpt from the first brochure: "(The Central Utah Project) is the most means of providing large feasible amounts of additional water to the most highly developed part of the State (sic) where population growth and industrial development are continuing at a rate far above the average for the State (sic) and the Nation (sic). Utahs future industrial economy will be governed by the water that can be made available. The benefits of the project are described in glowing terms. It requires attentive, careful reading and a constant that the brochures are propaganda in favor of the project to redecognize that the greatest benefits are of the outside for those residing signed Uintah Basin and along the Wasatch Front. We fear that residents of the Uintah Basin have been, above all, victim of their own carelessness and complacency. For example, the Taskeech Reservoir in the Upalco Unit will store unappropriated flows of Lake Fork and Yellowstone Rivers. We have lost many of our water rights because of our failure to file claims. Then, a few of us have been so unscrupulous and wasteful in the use of our water, that we have provided an excuse for those who wish to seize it. We would especially like to alert all of those who will be concerned should the Ute Indian Unit, for which investigations on a feasibility scope are being made at present, become reality. According to the brochure on that unit, basically, the Ute Indian unit will provide for additional water resource development in the Uinta (sic) Basin and for exportation of additional water to the Bonneville Basin. , Uintah Aqueduct will .The streams draining the several intercept south slopes of the Uintah (sic) Mountains and will convey the water to the enlarged Strawberry Aqueduct Water collected by this aqueduct is to be used in the most highly developed part of the State (sic) along the Wasatch Front. We suggest that residents of the Uintah Basin may be facing the dilemna of the camel owner in the classic story who allowed the animal to get his head in the tent then ended up. himself, on the outside. Sincerely, Mr. and Mrs.Ted Baldwin, Jr. Dear Editor; For the past several weeks malicious and vile phone calls have been made to various residents of the Basin by an anonymous young woman pretending to be employed by the Hanson Motel Many of these calls have been in the nature of accusing residents of owing the motel money. The caller frequently uses abusive or vulgar language. No such girl is employed by the Motel and any vulgar or injurious charges made by her are apparently for the purpose of defaming and hurting the reputation of Mrs. Melba Hanson, her manager, or her business. Mrs. Hanson is hurt and shocked to learn that such calls have occurred and asks for assistance in bringing this young woman to justice. Please contact Mrs. Hanson or the police if you have any information at all about this matter.
