Hop For Tax Reductions The work of the Hoover Commission is reaching the point where the first task forces of the commission are completing their project. This ' work gives ground for hope that state and local governments may soon begin recovering powers usurped during the past 20 years by the Federal government. Returning these usurped powers will cut down Federal bureaucracy to manageable size. The next step of the task force is to study Federal activities in the water and power resources field, into developments in looking navigation, flood control and reclamation. Other task forces, when appointed by ex - president Hoover may soon stait their work. Their findings may help the people to get tax reductions. How Are Our Schools? The American idea that education is for all, in contrast to other countries where only a special few are entitled to higher learning, can be defeated in one way. This is by rendering our system futile by play, lack of discipline, failing to teach the three Rs, producing ignorant and irresponsible children. I was therefore most interested to read an article in a recent issue of Collier's, national weekly magazine, wherein they had assigned a famous writer to consider complaints over the nation concerning the education of our children. It was found that some children as high as sixth grade cannot write. Some schools have eliminated competitive grading and merely mark children, Satisfactory" or "Unsatisfactory." (This is done in our Granite schools, and personally. I don't like it half as well as the former A, B. C, etc. marking.) Some schools allow the children to run the place and turn out youth unfitted for life. This certainly can't be said for our elementary or junior high schools here, although the senior hi$h for several years was getting a bad re putation. Some schools stress sports more than education. No, the fine old system of the three Rs and subjects that were considered fundamental in the past, are still necessary. But, we are most fortunate in this community, to have in practically every instance, fine teachers and excellent administrators. I only believe our educators should receive higher salaries. Life is what you make it, and you can always make it over. Soviet grip on people behind the Iron Curtain, but Frank T. Herman, chairman of Hie Crusade, said the unions declined.

It is a powerful factor in keeping alive their courage, their will to resist and the hope of freedom.

Too, nearly a million and a half Americans were injured in that single year-- or half a million more than were wounded in three years of Korean fighting. Sounds unbelievable, doesn't it? But insurance statistics show that 92 '( of all motor accidents in 1952 were directly due to discourtesy-reckless driving, excessive speed, driving on the wrong side of the road, bulling through without the right of way, cutting in ahead, pasting on curves or bills, pawing on the wrong side, failing to signal, or signalling improperly. In other words, accidents don't just "happen" accidents are caus ed. You're the driver who causes accidents, if you're a driver who leaves your manners on the sidewalk when you get into your car. The man who wouldn't think of standing in line at a movie theater bellowing at the top of his voice because the line doesn't move faster is the same man who leans on his horn, fraying all the tempers within earshot, and putting other drivers into an mood. And that same man will belligerently expect his car to respond to every emergency, even when not kept m top operating condition.
