Amendment 1 giving the legislature a 60 day session in the odd number years for the purpose of providing adequate legislation to supervise and operate state government on a more economical and profitable basis. Currently too many important pieces of legislation are passed without sufficient time allotted to consideration of many important details that efect the taxpayer and the general public. Too many important bills are passed during the last few days before adjournment that off -- times have adversely effected the operation of state government. Also, the expenditure of millions of dollard in tax monies should be given special consideration. Proposed budgets and appropriations should be given more time in com-itte- es to evaluate department needs before final decisions are made. The 20 days during the even numbers years would allow ample time for the legislature to carefully scrutinize proposed budgets before appropriations are made. "The legislature could save the taxpayers thousands of dollars each year under this proposal, and the voters sould support it on election day. Mr. Ickes said.

A Editorial Candidates PTAs Say Salt Lake County is taking a close look at a popular form of recreation that is being accelerated across the nation. subsidiary of Markon Manufacturing. Inc. is example Liquor Not Boon recent weeks some persons have thought that to increase the content of beer from 3.2 to 5.2 or higher would resolve the the drink problem. Surely these thoughts have their limitaby liquor tions. Some people cannot tolerate 3.2 beer without becoming intoxicated. Too frequently accidents occur from drivers drinking a beer or two and then driving on the highway. Beer can be a real traffic problem when drivers fail to recognize their mental and physical abilities to respond quickly in emergencies. Liquor in any form has never been a blessing to health and happiness. As a depresent it effects people differently and creates health hazards that are absent in the health of most obstainers. This in itself should be a sure guide toward maintaining health, happiness and the rewards of good living standards. To cherish the thought that liquor has anything to do with families leaving Utah, or making decisions on where to make their homes is pure foolishness. Personal experiences of hundreds of people who returm to Utah after living in other states indicate their preference for Utah In alcohol because of wholesome environment, educational advantages, and ployment security. The advocates of free liquor cite increased tourist travel, industrial expansion etc. to open Utah to free boose traffic. Liquor is already too plentiful in Utah, and easy to get. Ask many of the young people involved and they admit some adults are ready and willing to purchase it for them. Some taverns consistantly violate the law in selling to youth. Under Liquor by the Drink can we suppose this problem will change? It is doubtful. Where we have one tavern now we will have five or ten to one and enforcement problems will be multiplied a hundred fold, and costs exorbitant.
