PAGE TWO SUGAR HOUSE, UTAH THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 24, 1959 INDEPENDENT .ScMjcfek Sonet-- Letters to the Editor The Editor I write from the Sanctuary, a refuae for homeless dogs upon a hill-far- m in southern Indiana. Iam the staff-th- e one fighting woman' who is trying to hold the place together. In times past those who love dogs have been good to us, and so we ask again, bearing in mind our debt in gratitude. We need food (of any sort) and old towels, blankets or pieces. Just about anything can find air application here. 45 cold noses and warm hearts salute you I Route 2, Box 264 Mrs. Louise Wood Martfnqvmp TnH The Sanctuary Paste Pot Palaver When I saw that the Boss Mar was writing something about people's rights this week, I asked him if I could do the same. Well he said I could but on a little lower level. I don't get exactly what he means by that though cause I didn't think there was any low level to people's rights. I guess he meant for me to get down below the Federal Gov't, level so the both of us wouldn't be in trouble at the same time. Anyway I don't think the people in East Millcreek are getting a fair shake from the State Gov't, on this liquor store business. I don't think the presence of a liquor store in an area is going to increase drunken driving around there or any other of that kind of Stuff. But I do think that the government whether it is State or Federal should respect the law and the rights of the citizens as much as it makes the rest of us do so. If the zoning laws do say that such a thing shouldn't be built or run in that certain neighborhood then the State or any agency of Irtn't linTfA nrlir "V ' right to ignore them than they give to us. What they want to put a liquor store on a busy street for with all the traffic jams it causes is more than I would ever be able to figure out so I just wont mention that part of it.

Bean deceased. Creditors will present claims with 'vouchers to the undersigned at 721 Continental Bank Building, Salt Lake City, Utah on or before the 20th day of November, A. D. 1959. Date of first publication, Sep-tember 18, A. D. 1959. Anna Leona Davis Administratrix of the Estate of Mary E. Bean, deceased. Pugsley, Hayes, Rampton and Watkiss, 721 Continental Bank Building, Salt Lake City, Utah Hatch Or Hatchet Act? It is a serious intrusion of State Rights for the U. S. Civil Service Commission to even request the removal of three state employees for illegal political activities. The fact they do so because of the Hatch Act is merely the reason for such action, it certainly doesn't justify the Federal Gvernment's threat of do as we say or else. It is hoped that all the officials of this state will stand firm in their decision to ignore the demand and retain these employees. The $42,000 involved should not even be considered. The rights of the state are far more valuable than any amount of money. If the people succumb to this demand it will only bring on more freedom removing demands next year. It is for the citizen of the state to decide whether or not they approve or do not approve of the conduct of any state employee and the State of Utah or any one of the other states are will capable of handling their own affairs. The money the Federal Government uses to say we will or wont with happens to be the same money the citizens of this country sent to it. In. 'no way or manner should any official of the State of Utah feel that tie should have to explain or apologize for their actions to the U. S. Civil Service Commission. The basic foundations of this government gives the individual the right to say what he pleases and act as he pleases as long as he does not harm another and also his spend money as he pleases, if there is any left after taxes. If the U. S. Congressmea who passed this law, are worrying about how federal funds are spent and whether any of it might be wasted it is suggested that they read the Congressional Record and clean up their own back yard before they meddle in the affairs of others. Watch Niirita MERLE RICHE One thing is crystal clear from the visit of Krushchev. That is, what it would be like to live in a dictatorship by Nikita with a careful and scruti-nizing eye. Watch his performance tinder any and all conditions. Re-member his past. Put two and two together and it should not be very hard to come up with four. Any promise that one so unstable could possibly make would be set aside on the merest whim. Eisenhower was fooled by this man once in a big way and approaches the talk's with due caution. But that he is in our country at all, after his betrayal of us in so many instances is indeed a triumph for this man who, we might say, is a world despot for he has forced himself on this country through pressure. From such a relationship no good can come. Let us hope that the American people will not be propagandized into thinking this means peace. in any way or any form him--- or for that matter, any dicta-tor. That is per-sonal diplomacy, personal . rule, despotism at its very worst. Why? For every reaction, every J - - w thought, everything that is done at any time is dependent on the whims and moods of the man at the top. America with all its faults does not have this trouble at least not to that degree. And if to any degree at all it is because the people themselves fail to make themselves heard, put pressure to bear on the man or men at the top. Here in this country we can still do it "without getting shot. So let us look at this man The Government Always Wins The following editorial is re-printed from Editor & Publisher: ' ' When you a rgue with a govern-ment agency you are up against it. The agency usually writes the rules, enforces them, acts as judge and jury. "Take the example of the elec-tric utility companies in the hearing before the Federal Power Commission on their battle to charge certain advertising ex-penses as a cost of production for purposes of fixing consumer rates. "An FPC examiner ruled that the only point of controversy is whether the money was spent for advertising for discussion of a 'political question--th- e public vs. private power debate. The FPC upheld him and has ruled that testimony is not admissable which attempts to prove that the expenditures were 'ordinary, ne-cessary, just and reasonable.' ' 'The largest sinale producer of Electric power is the government against which these privateiy-controlle- d companies must compete. It seems to us that Congress is going to have to declare sooner or later that the electric companies can talk about their competitors in or out of advertising. Congress' failure to do so will imply that criticism of a government agency is against the law." A visitor from abroad, pre-paring to return to her homeland, bought a television set to take back to her family. "Can't you buy a TV set in your own coun- -. try?" she was asked. "Oh, yes, but American pro-grams are so much better than oflrs." A young mother, when peace descended on her household after a particularly noisy afternoon, pointed to the children in front of the TV set and quipped: "All's western on the quiet front."
