Moss (D-UTA- H) Tuesday urged a subcommittee of the Senate Committee on Interstate and For-eign Commerce to act favorably on a bill to alleviate recurring freight car shortages in the West. The Utah Democrat, a co -- sponsor of the bill, filed a statement in which he objected to the present $2.75 per diem charge for offline . cars as too slow. "The people of Utah, and other Western States, are again facing a critical shortage of freight cars for shipping agricultural products products and livestock" the state-ment said. "From all present indications the shortage this sum-mer and fall may be one of the worst for many years." Senator Moss said that many Western roads maintained large enough fleets to meet their needs, but that many Eastern roads did not, and thay the number 'of cars being built was not keeping up with requirements. In objecting to the present charge of $2.75 per day for idle cars, Senator Moss noted that the bill would give the Interstate Com-merce Commision power to fix a more realistic fee. "This per diem charge is too low for a piece of equipment cost-ing from ten to twenty thousand dollars, "he said. "The earning level of the average freight car greatly exceeds this amount. But so long as it is cheaper to pay i the charge for using off-li- ne cars than to build new cars, the rail-roads have no incentive to pur-chase new cars or maintain old cars in good orderWithout Con-gressional action underbuilding by some strategically situation rail-roads will continue to be the po-licylie said. Senator Moss urged immediate committee action so that this year's impending shortage might be alleviated as. much as possible. Utah Lav To Benefit Steady Worker Changes made in the Utah un-employment compensation law which are scheduled to go into ef-fect next month will benefit the steady worker, but will reduce the duration of benefits for the casual or seasonal worker or the work-er with questionable attachment to the labor force. This was the conclusion re-ached by Utah Foundation, the pri-vate, governmental research group, in their analysis of the changes in the unemployment com-pensation law made by the 1959 Utah Legislature. The new law will raise the maximum benefit entitlement peri-od from 26 to 36 weeks for the steady worker but will reduce the minimum period from 15 to 10 weeks for the seasonal or cas-ual worker who is actually in the labor market only during certain months of the year. In general, individuals who are normally em-ployed 36-- 12 or more weeks dur-ing the year will benefit by the m changes, while those who are em-ployed less than 36 12 weeks will have their entitlement reduced by the new law. The increased benefit entitle-ment period, together with the new maximum benefit of $40 per week which is also scheduled to go into effect next month under Utah's open-en- d benefit formula, will pro-vide maximum benefits of $1,440 ($40 for 36 weeks) for the steady high paid worker. This compares with maximum potential benefits of $1,014 ($39 for twenty-si- x weeks) under Utah's present law. Foundation analysts point out that other changes made in the law will (1) encourage individuals to secure temporary or part-tim- e employment, (2) reduce unemploy-ment benefits to persons with re-tirement income,(3) permit unem-ployed workers to attend training courses in order to acquire new skills, and (4) eliminate some in-equities in computing employer's tax rates. The report states that Utah employers have realized total tax savings of more than $64 million between 1947 and 1958 because of the adoption of experience rating, Last year (1958), the savings am-ounted to $6,363,942, orl.41of the total wages subject to the unem-ployment compensation tax. According to the Foundation re-port, the respective states have thus far been able to retain con-trol over the unemployment compensation program and pres-cribe their own standards over be-ne- fit amounts and benefit entitle-ment periods, despite numerous attempts to Federalize the system. The report notes that the ques-tion of Federal control over state unemployment systems is against an issue in the U. S. Congress. One proposal now under consider- - ' ation would impose Federal stand-ards which would provide benefits considerably greater than those found in any state at the present time. For example, it would al-low the casual or intermittent employee to work 20 weeks and then be eligible for benefits dur-ing the remaining 32 weeks of the year. Merle Riche, cont. fm. p. 2 In spite of this, comes now the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the State of Utah and points out, to quote a press report, that the national ideal is expressed in the belief that all men are creat-ed equal. That here we should "move toward its practice in real-ity and the elimination of second t class citizenship." The reality of the situation is that biologically there is not truth in the quotation that "all men are created equal." In the Christian sense it is also untrue and the phrase "Fatherhood of God and Brotherhood of Man" is not found as such from one cover of the Bible to the other. Fatherhood and Brotherhood may be fine ideas and factual states but they do not solve social problems without regard to other, facts any more than they solve family problems. In reaching decisions on vital social problems we are ad- - monished to disregard "race, creed, color and national origin." Yet, these are all major facts of life. The great Jewish leader Ben-jamin Disraeli, Prime Minister of Great Britain said: "No man will treat with indifference the prin-ciple of race: it is the key to history f and why history is so often confused is that it has been written by men who were ignorant of its principles and all the know-ledge that it involves." Do you suppose that the Chief Justice really believes that we can reach wise decisions through the process of disregarding major facts; reach wise decisions on the basis of cliches such as "second class citizens?" Courts are keen upon the in-tent. The intent of the framers of the Constitution was not racial or social equality. Rather, as John Adams put it: "Inequalities of mind and body are so established by God Almighty in his constitution of human nature, that no art or policy can ever plane them down to a level." For honor's sake, for truth's sake and for virtue's sake let the Chief Justice remember it. S. H.
