Urge Congress to Make New Rules for Supreme Court The July Readers Digest calls for Congressional Action to reverse what it terms the Supreme Courts increasing tendency to rewrite the Constitution. Millions of Americans now believe that the Court has exceeded the powers that the founding fathers meant it to have. But according to evidence in the Digest article, Is the Supreme Court Really Supreme?, the fault may be less with the Court than with Congress. By failing to assert powers that it clearly possesses, Congress has allowed the Court to hand down decisions that, in the Avords of Justice John M. Harlan, amount ,to nothing less than an exercise of the amend 3-57- 84101 Salt Lake County Commission this week got a look at the first readout computer prepared showing the countys fiscal status down to the penny. The readout details county expenditures for the month of June and shows county expenditures thi ough that date. Philip R. Blomquist, finance commissioner, said the report gives the financial condition of every department in the county. The report shows departmental appropriations, total expenditures and encumbrances to date, balances left in budgets and the percentage remaining in various budgets. He described the report as a very, very satisfying system. County Auditor Rawlings said the program would cost the county about $250 a month and save the county about $5,000 a year. Mr. Rawlings said his chief deputy, Glen Palmer, set up. the computer system for the auditors office. Computer Associates Inc. is on contract to process the reports. Commissioner Marvin G. Jenson said he was impressed with the work Mr. Rawlings office is doing. Commission Chairman Oscar Hanson Jr. said he hadnt examined the report closely but he was generally impressed. Auditor Rawlings said the county could use computers even more. The next logical application is property tax billing, Mr. RaAvlings said. He said election, criminal and licensing records could also be kept by computer. The county has had computerized payrolls since the beginning of the year, but this is the first time all general records have been computerized, Mr. Rawlings said. The White House at Washington, D.C., was designed by an Irishman, James Hoban of Dublin; built on land purchased from a Scot, Farmer Dary Burns, in a location chosen by a Frenchman, Attorney General Says State Could Make Liquor 'Available' Utah Attorney General Phil L. Hansen says the Utah State Liquor Control Commission has the power to set up a form of liquor by the drink in Utah with the mere stroke of a pen. Mr. Hansen said the reason present liquor laws pertaining to private locker clubs are broken is because liquor is not always available when people want it. The Liquor Commission could eliminate this problem by merely extending the number of liquor dispensing agencies to include restaurants, motels, hotels and other public facilities, Mr. Hansen said. The commission presently has a number of small package agencies but virtually all of them are in hotels and motels. Several are located at the states major ski resorts. None are presently located in restaurants or cocktail lounges. Mr. Hansen said the present laws are encouraging operation of locker clubs. The clubs have come under increasing fire of late and several cities, including Salt Lake City, have passed ordinances in an attempt to regulate them. The laws are now the subject of a friendly suit between the attorney general and the cities to test their constitutionality. Mr. Hansen criticized the recent State Legislature for failing to allow a referendum vote on the question of liquor by the drink. The people of Utah should at least have the right to decide so-coll- ed Phil L. Hansen whether they want the present and shculd not have to rely on the Legislature to act as guardian of their morals, he said. Continuing, Mr. Hansen said, Liquor has and will continue to be with us for a long, long time, and it will continue to be consumed regardless of what laws are passed by the legislature. He said another solution to Utahs problem besides a vote by the people would be for the Legislature to repeal all existing liquor laws and pass new laws which would be more uniform with the majority of the people. laAvs changed, i TODAYS EDITORIAL v 4 Another Look at Air Pollution Major Pierre Charles LEnfant.
