Show I t page a Sugar House, Utah Thursday, Rtarch 12, 1959 INDEPENDENT The Intermountain Associa-tion includes only private, four - year, degree - granting, fully accredited institutions as it is exclusively a non-profit, benevolent, charitable, educational organization with-out capital stock, which is dedicated to the' development of higher education. Its purpose is to foster the growth and development of non-ta- x sup-ported institutions of higher learning in the intermoun-tain area through the states of Arizona, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Wy-oming. Dr. Duddy recently made a ten-da- y trip through Nevada and Arizona on behalf of the Intermountain Association. Westminster to Receive Funds A .check for $1000 from the International Harvester Foundation was 'received by the Intermountain Colleges Association, it was announced by Dr. Frank E. Duddy, Jr., president of Westminster Col-lege, and president of the association, who accepted the gift on behalf of the Inter-mountain Association. The $1000 is a proportion-ate share' of $106,000 being distributed by the Interna-tional Harvester Foundation to 40 state associations of in-dependent, privately endowed colleges and universities throughout the United States,' according to Frank W. Janks, International Harvester Com-pany president. This amount will be shared by 470 colleges and universities covering an enrollment of approximately 445,000 students. The total amount is the same as was distributed in 1958, Mr. Jenks reported. He stated that de-spi- te the fact that our com-pany's 1958 business was at a reduced level, the Harvester foundation is not decreasing the amounts of the gifts to associations, because it rec-ognizes the urgent need for continued financial support to privately endowed colleges and universities. This is the sixth year of such support to associations. The gifts are for unrestricted use and are being earmarked by most schools to up-gra- de faculty salaries. The Intermountain Asso-ciation was organized late last summer with Dr. Duddy as president; Dr. Tom E. Shear-er, president of the College of Idaho, Caldwell, as vice president, and Dr. John E, Riley, president of Northwest t Nazarene . College, Nampa, Idaho, as secretary-treasure- r.

Another Easter presen t is Debbie's rollicking new MGM comedy, "The Mating Came," ng Tony Randall- - and Paul , Douglas. Creeping Nightmare Washington columnist Wil-liam S.. White writes: "Fed-eral expenditures are becom-ing so vast and so diffuse in purpose as to raise a serious question whether any Presi-dent or Congress will be able within a few years actually to control any budget. May not internal events, as for illustration sudden business recessions, or external events instantjy requiring vast out-lays in the cold war, become the real future masters of the budget? "This is the creeping night-mare of some fiscal conserv-atives. It is not so much the level of present spending that they fear. It is the possibility that men may lose to the ro-bot, the power effectively to control spending at all. Mr. White here highlights something that students of federal fiscal affairs have long been deeply concerned about. The budget has be-come less and less manage- - able, and there is a real and present danger that before long it will become totally so. The Hoover Commission dealt at length with this, and proposed basic administrative reforms which would make it possible for Congress and the Executive to deal with the budget as a whole, rather than as a hodge-podg- e of separate appropriations. But j nothing has been done. . The size of the budget is a bad enough matter. But the ever-increasi- ng difficulty of controlling it is infinitely worse. Whether we like it or not the time is approaching when we will not be able to throw out our political pipe dream and admit that gov-ernment can't live beyond its ' means forever.

Someone is getting "hipped" on the subject of taxes. We agree that taxes could be reduced were Mr. Hoover's ideas or even Mr. Lee's put into effect. We agree that there is waste in the use of public monies. We agree that for-eign peoples find us obnox-ious as we drop billions of dollars into their " rsfpaciout craw. ; . We cannot agree that noyr is the time to stop and look. We must continue now at any price economy to vote more taxes and more taxes. What good a new tax pro-gram if our national defense must be abandoned? What good to cry for reductions if f ' we are blown to bits by a country dedicated to that . proposition by our laxity in taxation and our ostrich-lik- e impracticality? Nd, now is not the time for the cry. in the wilderness. We must accept our responsibili-tie- s. ,We must be taxed. J , A far-sight- ed reader .
