Show Editorial ... Why the people are qualified! The North Sanpete Board of Education last week pulled the Plan flace one of the most vital Issues of the times on the ballot next November. In withdrawing their support of a plan to let the of Sanpete vote on the proposal to consolidate the schoolpeople dls-triIn Sanpete County, they use as an excuse the fact that they want to hold precinct meetings within their areas to see how the people in their areas feel. cts Their aim is good. The people should have more voice In what Is being done within government today. The fact that less attention Is paid by governmental officials to John Q. Citizen, who pays the bills, is alarming. But It is hard to see the reasoning behind this delay, because the voter will decide the fate of the Issue one way or the other. The only way that the voters of the county will be able to express their sentiments now In the matter is if a petition is circulated and at least 15 of the qualified voters of the county affix their signatures and request the matter to be placed upon the ballot. Consolidation has been a hot issue in Sanpete County for a number of years. Such tactics only extend the heat of battle over the Issue. Since John Q. Citizen has to pay the bills ultimately . . . why not give him the facts on both sides of the Issue and then let him make the decision . . . after all, the people are qualified.

He said that the Utah Public Employees Association has given him its complete support. The suit has been filed In the U.S. District Court of Utah. Mr. Elder, the plaintiff, filed the suit as a test case for the Association in which he named his boss, Sherman J. Preece, the state auditor; Utah Gov. Calvin L. Rampton; Sec. of State Clyde L. Miller; Attorney General Vernon B. Romney, and Edward T. Himstreet, state personnel director. He alleges that he submitted his application as a candidate for state auditor May 10, 1972 and that Mr. Preece terminated Mr. Elders employment. Executive Director UPEA Rick Klnnersley said, That the Association has taken this action because it believes it is time to end policies and practices that continue to place public employees In the role citizens." of second-cla- ss UPEA believes that the present restrictions prohibiting state employees from running for political office are Inequitable and highly discriminatory," Kinnersley said. According to Mr. Klnnersley, Higher education employees, public school personnel and many others are allowed to continue their employment until elected, or in the case of legislators, until called into session.
