McClure Announces Bid for County Commission A Salt Lake County planning official for 17 years, Ralph Y. McClure, has announced his candidacy for the two year county commission post on the Democratic ticket. Mr. McClure is head of the subdivision department of the Salt Lake County Planning Commission and was formerly county zoning administrator. Mr. McClure said the need for a change of county government obviously is reflected in recent newspaper headlines. But rather than run solely on this basis, I have established a constructive platform which I will implement as a commissioner, he said. I think the tax base should be broadened by becoming directly involved in soliciting additional desirable industry for all areas of the county. It is simple arithmetic that when more taxpayers pay for the same services, each pays less. My background in planning gives me a unique understanding of the needs of new industry. I intend to use this experience fully to help prepare attractive land and service packages throughout the county to lure desirable industry to the valley. The candidate is active in the American Society of Planning , Ralph Y. McClure Officials and the Professional Planners Assn, of Utah of which he served as secretary-treasure- r. He also has served as a director of the Salt Lake Junior Cham ber of Commerce and is president of the Intermountain Flying and Recreation Club. He is a member of the Church of Jesus Saints. Christ' of Latter-da- y He and his wife, the former Donna Lowther, have three sons.

Thereport, The President's Commissions, by Frank J. Popper, a former Fund staff member at Harvard, is the second in a new series of short studies prepared by t, members of the Fund, a founnon-profi- non-partis- an dation engaged in research on major economic, political and social institutions and issues. The report argues that the joint appointment of commissions is necessary to make them moreaccountable to the public. Presently, according to the report, the use of Presidential Commissions often leads to genuine abuses, especially the narrowly political use by a President of a mechanism which ostensibly is out of politics and functoins best when it actually is apolitical. Popper goes on to point out that significant groups of Americans, including the young, the genuinely poor, and women, have been consistently (Continued on Page Four) under-represent- ed |
