Show Candidate for Legislature Makes Statement I am grateful for this privilege of ol sa saying Ing to my fellow citizens of or Millard Millard Millard Mil- Mil lard County through our local paper that I shall feel highly honored to be nominated to the high office of or Representative Representative Rep Rep- to the Legislature at the coming primary I promise you if I Iam Iam am successful In this endeavor and subsequently elected I shall work diligently diligently diligently dil dil- and faithfully to promote the Interests and welfare of all the people people people peo peo- of oC Millard County I believe that a State Representative tive from our county has a vast opportunity op- op opportunity opportunity op op- to do some real creative work not only In initiating and sponsoring sponsoring sponsoring spon spon- necessary legislation but in blocking and eliminating and harmful laws of which we have so many I have been a liberal Republican all my life but I am not so partisan that I do not have praise for the good public endeavors of members of other political parties However I do not nol believe In holding men in office oHice too toe long A change Is good for the people people people peo peo- every few years New faces in ir office give alertness and vigor to the theoffice theoffice theoffice office and foster fewer ambitions to tc tobe tobe be dictatorial and more of a desire to please and serve Let us remember remember ber that the government still belongs to the people even though some of ol the numerous public boards bureaus and tax supported agencies by their action give us a different impress Impress- ion We Ve still maintain that this is a government for of and by the people people people peo peo- and not one of clicks professional profession profession- al al politicians and job seekers who want a life lease on the offices I I am likewise against the third term for or the president of the United States on any political party and I 1 II I base my contention on a statement lof of a great sage statesman and third term president of the United States Thomas Jefferson founder of the I Democratic party part I quote I The example of four presidents I voluntarily retiring at the end of or their 8 years and the progress of public opinion that the principle is salutary has given it the practice precedent of force and usage inasmuch that should a president consent to be a candidate for a third election I 1 trust that he would be rejected on this demonstration of ambitious views I Let us stop breaking the finer threads of our traditions which have been woven into the choice fabric olour of ol our democratic form of life These traditions are our best safeguards against against against a- a the encroachments of dictator dictator- ship This is an agricultural county and we have our problems The problem of agriculture is generally shelved by our law making bodies But the 14 24 point plan to aid the farmer which was recently approved by the Utah advisory agricultural council copies of which have appeared in the papers papers papers pa pa- pers and are no doubt in most farmers farmers' farmers farmers' farmers farmers' farm farm- ers' ers possession seems to be to be a abig abig abig big step in the right direction I arnin amin amin am arn in favor of this program I believe in good roads not only the usual farm to market roads but oiled highways connecting our county county county coun coun- ty with other counties and where in this state considering the size of the population is there a worse road than between Holden and Delta I pledge myself to do all in my power to have this road oiled and to lend whatever aid I can to the oiling of the road from Hinckley to the Nevada line to connect with the recently oiled road to Ely and our markets mar ets in California I believe in the constant development development development develop develop- ment of the facilities for the education education education tion of our young people Millard County has a good educational system system system tem but we shall never be satisfied until facilities are provided to give a large per cent of our high school graduates additional training in social service vocations and agri agri- culture I believe we should keep many of the more useful tax supported agencies agencies agencies agen agen- cies that we have and add others as the necessity arises within our ability ability ability abil abil- ity to pay But I believe we are paying paying paying pay pay- ing all the taxes direct and indirect that thai we can stand I believe also that we the people could and should get more direct service for the tremendous tremendous tremendous tre tre- sums we are now paying payin as taxes and we could assuredly get et this service if the tax dollars as spent sp nt by the taxing agency brought the service service service ser ser- ser ser- vice commensurate with the service rendered by the the- taxpayer to obtain the dollar with Which to pay his tax tax- es Exorbitant salaries high expense accounts offices stuffed with party patronage blundering indecision a alack alack alack lack of Initiative oblivious to public responsibility all mitigate against obtaInIng obtaining obtaining ob ob- a maximum of service from our taxes I understand that out of our sales tax goes to to pay for administration costs before one cent is paid for the purpose the tax tai was created I believe that thai t a portion of ot the profits profits profits prof prof- its oi ol the State Liquor Commission should go to the cities and cou counties Ues to help pay for tor the enforcement of ot the law 1 I also oleo believe that the b bl ti b finance of public boards and agencies agencies agen agen- cies dies should be curtailed I believe that the of or the numerous public boards and appointive public agencies should be partisan non-partisan and placed upon a partisan no-partisan civil service service service ser ser- ser ser- vice commission This would preclude a tendency that now exists toward a strong political entrenchment of any political party and preserve more nearly intact the governing principles s of as we perceive them I do not believe in taxation without without without with with- out particularly In lo local local local lo- lo cal taxing unites such as our school boards I believe that the school board candidates should be chosen from the districts as they tiley are now on a partisan non-partisan basis but all the voters of the county should be permitted permitted permitted per per- to vote for them This is one way of giving the government back to the people I 1 believe also that we should have havea a maximum tax levy as we have now which cannot be exceeded by any taxing agency only under certain conditions namely the consent of the three appointive members of oC the State Tax Commission I think the conditions by which this maximum tax could be exceeded should be taken taken taken tak tak- en away from the State Tax Commission Commission Commis Commis- sion slon where it Is now most assuredly abused and placed In the hands of the people I vouch to say that there I would be few occasions where this I maximum tax would be exceeded if ifa ifa ifa a special election had to be called to determine it This is another way of giving the government back to the people I believe in a sound policy of social security In a rich and bounteous land such as ours no one not a solitary solitary solitary sol sol- sol sol- person should ever feel the pangs of poverty no aged individual should be without proper aid no youth should be unhappy because he cannot have an appreciable amount amount amount am am- of the good things of life But it is against the pride and dignity of the American people to accept alms No one wants to be the under dog No one wants to be he skulking about for a handout or to be considered as a estate or nations nation's ward Can I we not work out a program with the aid of federal funds that will lend I dignity to social security and give pride and thrift to the recipients of it I have not said all but I have said enough at this time I want to thank you for reading this message I shall appreciate it I if you will look into my qualifIcations 1 I and my life in this county I 11 I hope I shall merit your support inthe in inthe inthe the primary of September 3rd Very cordially yours I Alonzo Huntsman l I II 1 I Paid Pol Adv I |
