Show Pace Friday, September 5, 1958 THE UTAH STATESMAN 2 YM Do You Believe? : As Voters ' ' rf ' Compare GOP Principles With Democratic Philosophy REPUBLICANS reject the theory of the centralization of power in a vast Federal stripping authority and responsibility from Stalte and local governments. They believe the best decisions are those made closest to the people, while the Federal role is to safeguard the public interest wherever necessary, arid to provide justifiable assistance when local resources cannot meet the need. DEMOCRATS believe in centralization of power in the Federal Government. This means loss of vitality of Stalte and local governments. It means that Government will often be slow to act, inflexible in its action,-anunresponsive to local needs and desires. super-governmen- t,. REPUBLICANS hold firmly to the Constitutional concept of tihe maximum of opportunity and liberty for the individual. They believe that liberty is personal; thalt it is an endowment o(f the. Creator which no government can deny, and upon which neither economic nor political power should be permitted to encroach.

NATION: Elections-T- he REPUBLICANS have long recognized the peril of inflation and have sought successfully to slow the g costs on erosion of cheaper dollars and income and savings. ever-risin- REPUBLICANS believe that Government should favor neither labor nor management and should intervene in bargaining disputes only when the public welfare is threatened. They have long championed labors right to organize and bargain collectively, but they have fought for measures designed to protect union funds and to eliminate the communist and labor racketeer from the industrial scene. REPUBLICANS regard private business, large and small, as a dynamic force for growth and prosperity which should ever be fostered and encouraged. has provided the Nation American with comforts, economic security and living Standards which are the marvel of the civilized world. free-enterpri- se Young Voter by Dean Holbrook Our Democratic government is based on a government of, by, and for the people. This means that for the government to work at full effectiveness the people of this country, must be ooncious of our government, what it is doing and of the aims of our gov- ernment. With our two major political parties being the stimulus for this peoples participation it folk on the shoulders cf these bodies to be a stimulating force and an avenue of service for the citizens who wish to be active in government. With this thought in mind, the campaign committee of the Young Republican League of Utah has formulated a. plan for bring the Young Republicans into political activity. Following the primary election, Young Republicans will be put to work ori the campaigns of the Republican candidates for public REPUBLICANS traditionally favor flower taxes and economic administration of Government They have sponsored seven of the 10 reductions in the history of the income tax law, including the record reduction of 1954 worth $33 billion to date which went primarily (63 per cent) to individuals. - REPUBLICANS have expanded both foreign and domestic markets for American farm products to the highest levels in history. Market expansion, not controls, is the key to farm prosperity. REPUBLICANS believe in a positive foreign polbased on Strength and moral principles. They icy will not trim these principles in the face of bluster. Since this administration took office, the disappearance of free nations behind the has been halted. Gom-muni- ts iron-curta- in office. This will achieve two major points in furthering the Republican principles of government First it will give support to the campaigns of the candidates and second, it will give invaluable experience to Young Republicans in political activity, appraising them of issues and the Republican cause. We feel this is important more so than ever with the younger voter becoming a large factor in the political picture today. A democracy will always be an effective form of government as long as the individual is given a recognized plaice in political and governmental activity. We have this in mind in formulating our plans for this election year. . . . REPUBLICANS have built and maintained the greatest defensive force in history and reorganized it to gain the flexibility demanded by the atomic age. They liave perfected a missile arsenal of 11 operational types with work being rushed on 35 more, including the ICBM. They are spending five times as much in a single day on missile research as was spent in the entire last year of the preceding administration. d DEMOCRATS pursue economic policies that give us cronic inflation. Inflation cheapens your dollars which buy less and less as prices spiral upwards, squeezing those on pensions and fixed incomes while Shrinking the value of savings and cutting the worth of investments. DEMOCRATS follow the dictates of certain labor leaders, even when their dictates clash with the general interest and the interest of individual workers. Labor unions have been taken over, in some instances, union funds have been by gangsters and and been members beaten and murdered have looted, by racketeers. Left-winger- s; DEMOCRATS have demonstrated on many occasions their lack of faith in private enterprise, Whether it be the comer store or a corporation. They insist that business must be burdened by heavy taxation and subjected to a multitude of controls enforced by bureaucrats. Furthermore, they seek to extend Government operation of business entermulti-mdlliondoll- ar prises. DEMOCRATS have enacted 15 of the 16 income tax increases since the adoption of the income tax amendment in 1913; sponsored only three of the income tax cuts. Their traditional policy is one of tax and tax, spend and spend. DEMOCRATS imposed bath price and production controls upon agriculture. They neglected market development and expansion, the key to a free and prosperous agriculture. DEMOCRATS , who ore quick and floud to criticize the conduct of foreign affairs by others seek to cover up then: own tragic mistakes and blunders. Besides involvement in three wars, they agreed to same of the biggest giveaway deak in history at foreign conference tables. During Democrat administrations, world Communism has made its greatest gains. DEMOCRATS have never maintained strong defense farces as a matter of constant policy or at a level commensurate with the international commitments they (have made. Our men were drilling with stove pipes and broom-sticfor weapons at the time of Pearl Harbor.. After World War II, our defenses were permitted to deteriorate so that we were unprepared militarily for the Korea challenge. ks DEMOCRATS, in their final years in office kept missfle research in the deep freeze while the Russians were wording feverishly on development of modem weapons. The dreadful consequences of this policy will be felt by our leaders, military as well as diplofor to come. matic, years THE UTAH STATESMAN A Weekly Newspaper Devoted to Good Government HARRY B.
