'itlllt: 1 1 Jeff Caneen For Jeff Caneen, Libertarian candidate for House District 58, this year's campaign is as much a means to spread the Libertarian philosophy as it is an opportunity to run for office. Caneen realistically recognizes the slim chances his campaign has of succeeding. But he isn't taking the election lightly. "I. don't really hold much hope of winning," Caneen says, "but I'm seriously running." Caneen says government on all levels, has become irresponsible in the way it spends money and develops programs, especially in times when money is tight. And it has become too intensive. "Instead of the state cutting back on spending like the rest of us have to do, they are out searching frantically for new victims, new people to tax," Caneen says. "I think they need to cut back on their spending too." Caneen, and other Libertarians, feel government's only legitimate role is that of protecting the citizens from aggression. And yet, Caneen says, a good 50 percent of the state's budget has nothing to do with that kind of protection. "I don't think governments should be involved in education at all," Caneen says. "Up until the 1820's, there was no government Don LeBaron Don LeBaron, the Republican candidate for House District 58, sees in his own background one of the ideas he would support in the state if elected -- - volunteerism. LeBaron served as volunteer mayor of Highland, working for no salary as do all Highland mayors. And he saw in that effort great strength. He said local crime, one of the major issues he is addressing in his campaign, could be effectively combatted with volunteer efforts. "We should support volunteer neighborhood watches and play-ground watches to protect our children," Mr. LeBaron said. "The state could help with training, or whatever else was needed, but the private efforts would be volunteer ones." LeBaron said the major issue in the campaign is one of the economy. "There are some things the state can do and must do," LeBaron said. "There are jobs in our state that are open, but people can't get them because they are technical jobs and people aren't trained for them." He said the state should encourage the development of high technology "because that's where the jobs are." He also said the state could encourage the development of two or the states most plentiful resources, energy and recreation. Energy development is experienc-ing a lull because of the nation's sluggish economy, LeBaron said, but it will expand in the futue, and Utah will be in an excellent position to take advantage of it. Democrat Dave Harvey lists ex-perience as one of the prime reasons he is qualified to fill a seat in the Utah House of Representatives. After all, Mr. Harvey has been there before six times to be exact before he was defeated for four years ago. That experience gives him an edge over other legislators who must confront the complexities of state government for the first time. He also says it is time to balance out the heavily Republican state legislature. "Our form of government is based on a two-part- y system, but in Utah now we have a one-par- ty system," Mr. Harvey said. And that's a situation he describes as unhealthy for any government body. The major issue in the campaign, Mr. Harvey says, is to "provide jobs for the people of Utah." That can be done by several methods, including encouraging new businesses to come to the state, and strengthening the businesses we have here now. He points out that when he was a state legislator he supported a resolution calling for tariffs against foreign steel imports as a method of strengthening Geneva Steel. He also worked as a member of a panel that dealt with industry to encourage new businesses to build in Utah, an effort he called successful. "I think the key to a good balanced state budget is a good balanced wide-base- d tax structure," Mr. Harvey says. More businesses would provide that.

From the same experience as mayor, LeBaron said he would support changes in the annexation and laws, laws he says are' badly in need of updating. LeBaron also said if the U.S. Congress couldn't agree on a constitutional amendment to balance the federal budget, he would support a statesinitiated amendment which would put the issue before the nation with the approval of 33 states. LeBaron is an engineer working with Sperry-Univa- c in Salt Lake City. He has lived in Highland since 1960. DAVE HARVEY priorities. He points out that the State Building Board has released figures showing that the state schools needed $200 million worth of construction but the state can only spare about $25 million to build. Mr. Harvey points to his experience as a member of the committee that dealt with higher education for his last eight years in office and says that kind of experience would help determine where the money should be spent. He also says he supports upgrading Utah Technical College in Provo-Ore-since it provides an alternative for local students who can't or don't want to attend Brigham Young University. He praises Utah schools and Utah life. "We have a great state. I am proud of it. I would just like to keep a good climate for children to grow up in." Mr. Harvey said his occupation as a farmer gave him time in the winter months, when the legislature is in session, to devote full-tim- e to the position. "More immediately, we can work on the development of high labor intensity industry to employ a lot of people," LeBaron said. He pointed to the computer industry and said Utah already has a heavy stake in that. "The answer is not having big government programs," LeBaron said. "It's to provide industry backing for programs." He said the state could encourage students to study courses that will put them in a position to take advantage of those jobs. "We must make sure that we have the facilities and the strength in our schools to prepare people to take these jobs," LeBaron said. LeBaron also supports toughening up on criminals, making sentances mandatory for certain crimes so wrongdoers won't be released after their conviction with too light a punishment. LeBaron also supports giving more money to the communities to operate, rather than relying on the state to handle the funds. And he pointed to his experience as mayor as the type which he will need to administer funds that will j; "As one of the outstanding legislators in the House Paul is completely qualified and experienced in legislative work; and I believe that he could move into the Senate and y have an immediate impact there." ii Norman H.

Utah &4003 Jolley suit against Lindon withdrawn by courts By LINDA HARRIS During council meeting Oct. 2, it was reported that the lawsuit brought by former Lindon police chief, LaMar Jolley, against the city has been withdrawn by the courts on the ground that it failed to state a claim upon which relief could be granted. In other business before the council, Diane Hacking was sworn in as the new councilwoman to replace Dennis Thompson who has gone on sab-batical. Nov. 11 from 4 to 7 p.m. is the time that has been set for the Lindon Clinic open house. Definite progress has been made on the Gappmayer development project on 200 South and about 300 West. Councilman William Johanson reported that they are ready to lay the asphalt on 200 South as soon as the wpathpr nermits. oSuit (Continued from page 1) that the city had improperly dispersed funds from the bond which was to be used to install the improvements. According to city records, the developer of the subdivision had not completed the improvements nor had the city accepted any of the improvements. The city had argued that it was against the city ordinances for them to put in the improvements on private property. Mr. Cox and some neighbors had claimed that the city had allowed the developer to have certain amounts from the bond without proper inspection of the improvements. A year ago, a suit that Mr. Cox had brought against the mayor of Pleasant Grove and one councilman seeking removal from office was dismissed by the court. Mr. Backlund said that with the weather being the way it is, installation improvements in Wade Springs might have to be postponed until spring. |
