royalties from state-owned lands go into the Permanent School Fund This trust money is Invested and only the interest goes to the public schools and other state institutions Involved The land board's action reverses a policy and practice which have been In effect for nearly 20 years After voter approval of a constitutional amendment in 1938 and state legislation enacted the following year mineral leases and royalties were regarded as current income and were distributed on that basis to the schools through the Uniform School Fund A proposed constitutional amendment okensibly aimed at salting away this income was defeated at the general election early this month ON TIIE FACE of It the State Land Board might seem to be acting contrary to public opinion and the State Constitution It did however follow an opinion given by the attorney general who holds among other things that the 1938 amendment is not consistent with the State Enabling Act of 1896 Lt It la hoped that some state agency concerned will take this complicated question to the Utah State Supreme Court for a declaratory Judgment Otherwise conflicts and confusion are bound to arise A future land board and a Bloody Anniversary Fifteen years ago two years after the Pearl Harbor the -American central Pacific offensive began with an epic and bloody battle for an obscure islet called Tarawa of the Gilbert islands group in the equatorial Pacific The aim was to safeguard our supply lines to Australia and to General Mac Arthur's Southwest Pacific Command and to start the island-to-island leap toward the heartland of Japan After 75 hours and 45 minutes of some of the bitterest fighting in history Tarawa and the nearby atoll Betio were captured The cost: 1115 Marines and 29 navy men dead or missing 2300 wound ed an incalculable amount of equipment and materiel destroyed Some 4500 Japanese were killed Only one officer 16 enlisted men and 129 Korean laborers were taken prisoners After 75 hours and 45 minutes of some of the bitterest fighting in history Tarawa and the nearby atoll Betio were captured The cost: 1115 Marines and 29 navy men dead or missing 2300 wound ed an incalculable amount of equipment and materiel destroyed some 4500 Japanese were killed Only one officer 16 enlisted men and 129 Korean laborers were taken prisoners The Japanese commander killed in the bloody fray had boasted that the Amer leans could not take the atolls with a million men In a hundred years The details of the "red hell" of Tarawa are not for the queasy Hanson Baldwin says "Nothing in the record of the Marine Corps can exceed the heroism displayed at Tarawa" Marine historians have written: "There had to be a Tarawa This was the inevitable point at which untried doctrine was at length tried in the crucible of battle" Few Americans today likely remember Tarawa or the purpose it served One wonders how many more Tarawas must be fought before men learn how to settle their differences without bloodshed No Special Privilege The opinion of the Utah attorney gerff eral's office on the status of government officials relative to traffic and parking regulations is welcome They have said the opinion no claim to immunity because they are on "official business" Obviously this has to be the case If a city state federal or other govern mental employe can claim immunity from obeying a parking law because he is on "official business" then he can claim immunity from other laws He can claim the right to eat free as well as park free or to take property illegally as well as parking space illegally or to violate laws against assault and battery as well as laws against speeding It is all too easy for government employes to get the notion they are somehow superior to the people they serve The tendency needs to be constantly opposed Here is a good place to emphasize to all public officials that they have no special privileged status and must obey the same laws and regulations as do their bosses the people Visiting Cartoonist future attorney general conceivably-could reverse the school revenue policy It may be hoped that a clear decision can be secured from the state's highest court in time for the next Legislature convening in January to spell out policy and to act on several vital legal and financial problems posed by the tangle IT IS of course good public policy to add receipts from exploitation of unrenew able resources to perpetual funds as a safeguard against the day when these resources may be depleted The immediate effect of the fund transfer however will be to increase state school taxes The revenues which amount ed to little in former years have been gaining recently and amounted to more than $300000 last year With continued oil development on state school lands the sum could be increased many times in fu ture years Whatever the Supreme Court decides the State Legislature most surely will want to act to uphold the Constitution and remove inconsistencies between the Con- stitution and the Enabling Act The Legislature might decide to ask Congress to amend the Enabling Act (achas been done on several occasions for other states) If this were done the Legislature might then determine whether the royal ties should go into the current Uniform School Fund or into the trust fund Conceivably considering the needs of this time the lawmakers might corn-promise and put half the money in the permanent fund and half in the current fund In any respect the Legislature should make some thoughtful long-term decisions about investment policies in relation to the low rate of increase from state trust funds The Utah Foundation reports that at least one state New Mexico considered a constitutional amendment to liberalize its investment policy in order to increase revenue and provide a hedge against inflation Political and financial risks involved would need to be weighed however ANOTHER suggestion which the Legislature should consider is that a represdntative of the public a member of the state superintendent's made a member of the State Land Board Who should bring the action asking the declaratory Judgment? Since the legality of land board policy is at Issue it should be most interested in protecting itself It apparently decided not to bring a court action but has said it would co-operate in obtaining a judicial decision By all means the air should be cleared and the legal questions answered as fully and quickly as practicable Mental Health Promise Charles A Boynton Jr has been named a member of the board of directors of the National Association of Mental Health He is attending the annual meet- ing of the group in Kansas City representing the Utah Association for Mental Health of which he is president This national recognition of Mr Boynton's efforts to promote wider public 'understand1ng-7 and support for work in the mental health field is well deserved Such leadership by men of stature In the community holds great promise for mental health progress One of the most interesting new programs being discussed at the Kansas City meeting according to Mr Boynton is ways to step up training of thousands of volunteers for service in combatting mental illness This could prove of great value not only in broader public Interest but in actual help to the mentally Ill We hope Mr Boynton brings back to Utah ideas which can be used to promote this volun- teer service program here Ironically it is only In the last few years that motorcars have been equipped with fins They could have used them

Houston Austin and San Antonio Texas Baton Rouge and New Orleans 1a Tallahassee and Pensacola Fla Charleston SC Savannah Ga and Williamsburg Va JUST BEFORE we left the late A Brown then Democratic National Committeeman for Utah gave me a letter of introduction to Mr Garner After a short visit with the Missus' kinfolks in Falls Church Va we went to Bethesda Md where we were bouse guests of her cousin Miss Hazel Magic The first person I met in the Senate 0f1ice Building was Earl Wixcey secretary to the late Sen Elbert Thomas and a former member of The Tribune editorial staff The senator was th the Senate chamber but when he heard that I was in the office he told Earl to have me brought over to the Capitol where he'd meet me In the Senate cloakroom When I told Sen Thomas I had a letter

Senator From Sandpit By Ham Park A man's real possession is Introduced me and I pre-his memory In nothing else sented my letter After Is he rich in nothing else Is reading it be said: he Smith "Senator I want you to "Senator I want you to make my office your headquarters while you are here If the door happens to be locked Just kick It in" In the Senate Office Building there were elevators for the public and for the use of senators only But in the Capitol they were used jointly except In case of a roll call When a button marked ''S enat ors Only" was pressed the elevator op erator would respond immediately but would allow no one not a senator to enter his car But if a stranger happened to be in the elevator at the time he was not allowed to leave until the emergency was over One morning that happened to me I'd entered the elevator at the basement floor and we'd hardly started when the senators began ringing their private bell The operator rather gruffly told me to move to the back of 'the car and stay there until he said I could leave I obeyed 11p and down I went until I began to get a bit car sick Then Mr Garner got on and spotted me "Senator" he said "I'm glad I ran into you Mrs Garner has been trying to get in touch with you all morning Will you drop over to the office as soon as you can?" I SAID I walld go immediately Then the elevator operator said apologetically "I beg your pardon senator but I didn't recognize you when you got on Which floor do you want?" "The chamber floor of course" said Mr Garner before I could answer "Come senator here's where we get off" he added taking me by the arm And so Saturday afternoon I'll stop in one of my ports of call and drink this toast: "To 'Cactus Jack' Garner a great American statesman and to the memory of his wife a truly great and gracious lady!" Viewpoints Vewpoints What Can Alaska Grow in Winter? Dallas News: Yes Texas still leads the nation in growing spinach And we are also way out in front when it comes to cauliflower broccoli brussels sprouts and beets This is on the word of Dr Shaw He is administrator of the Federal Agriculture Research Service which has played the leading part in Texas' becoming the nation's top producer of six winter vegetables He spoke at dedication of a new $250000 laboratory Let's hear what Alaska can grow in the winter been regarded as a minor official but as a principal-- as much entitled to give out news for the government as if he were the head of a department in the executive branch Nor Is any president forbidden by any rule to give out information to selected Individuals in the press except as he may impose a restraint on himself due to a reluctance to face the pro testing cries of other newsmen President Theodore Roosevelt used to have a group of friendly news writers around htm all the time President Taft tried for a while to hold "background" conferences with a group of newspapermen selected for him by an unofficial press adviser but the plan failed because the President him self just wasn't accustomed to dealing in impromptu fashion with the spot news of the day When President Wilson was first inaugurated he held press conferences for all writers who were cert' tied by the newly formed White House Correspondents Assn Th es conferences didn't permit direct quotation and were abandoned shortly after World War I began THIS WAS because Mr Wilson objected to the presence of correspondents writing for newspapers in Germany who he felt mere ly acted as information' gatherers for the German embassy Last Sunday when Presi dential Press Secretary Hag erty was quizzed on a televi sion show about "leaks" and "background" information the inference of one of his Interrogators was that a presidential secretary doesn't have the right to give out "background" information or even "leak" stories to any reporter he chooses But oddly enough this practice thrives on Capitol BilL Nor do many correspond ents at the Capitol feel that a catastrophe has happened if one of their number gets an Occasional "scoop" be cause of friendliness with certain news sources There is of course always the "planted" story which happens when the newspa perman himself hasn't the slightest hint ahead of time about the news which is given him He is selected for the artificial "scoop" either because his paper is prominent or has a big circulation or because he can be trusted to keep his mouth shut as to where and how he got the "exclusive" -story 4 THE RIGHT of an admin Istration even to put out a "planted" story however cannot be denied though If present tendendes con tinue this sort of thing too may eventually be controlled by the "right to know" laws and regulations being currently espoused Maybe in the days to come nobody will ever need to fear being "scooped" or feel again the pressure to get a "scoop"

more "regular" liberal sorely worrying all purely organizational Democrats of whatever hue For these professional liberals are rushing Into headlong embrace of the image of the Republican

number of Republicans It started before Mr Elsenhower had ever served a day in elective office It started at a time when very little that was factual as distinguished from vaguely impressionistic was known about his public views Perhaps it is objective to say that the Eisenhower administration has not been a notable triumph for the liberals whatever else it has or has not been And most of the professional liberals who had cried out in his behalf in 1948 before long were crying out against his administration with more vehemence actually than those Democrats who had fought him all along IT 'DOES not now seem that all this really served the Interests of any kind of liberal Democrat The Republicans even those not desperate to have Mr Rockefeller as their 1960 nominee are watching cur rent professional liberal developments with pleased in terest This is perhaps the one watery ray discernible to them in this their gloomy November -t The PW)lie Forum Tripled Taxes Editor Tribune: A few weeks ago in an editorial someone was quoted as say ing that a few people would be hard hit by the increased rate of assessment and valuation of land and homes A case in point deals with a 91yearold widower who up until a year ago lived alone in a small welfare lien ridden old house situated on one acre of practically worthless soil He enjoyed excellent health and kept himself busy raising and oc casionally selling a few rah-bits He also enjoyed the company of a dog or two His existence was moder ately serene until some young hoodlums on three occasions took advantage of his age and 'deafness to force their way into his house stealing small sums of money from the kitchen cup board A fourth time two marauders entered his house In the dark of the night and upon being taken by sun prise knocked the old man to the floor where he lay in a state of shock until discovered This was the last straw at least so it seemed The sheriffs' office made due investigations but was unsuccessful in apprehend ing the culprits Subsequent ly the rabbits were disposed of the dogs exterminated the house' and land rented out for $2500 a month and the old man moved from his One Way to By Our Readers Hand Editor Tribune: I have watched city workers doing the costly and sometimes almost hopeless task of load- ing the dry elusive leaves on trucks and wondered why someone has not come up with a better plan for gathering the leaves and disposing of them A Tribune editorial of Nov 10 has a fine discussion of the leaf problem but offers no so- 4 lution The writer is tempted to write here the best solution known to him The plan works at our house WREN LEAVES begin falling we install on the surface of a bare spot on the ground 12 feet of chicken wire to make a circular leaf bin three or four feet in diameter Into this bin day by day we dump the leaves that have fallen that day some from the neighbors' trees too Through the season this bin holds all the leaves from six trees and 25 large bushes By gathering the leaves each day' enough moisture is left in them to create heat and cause them to settle and forni a very compact mass Thus a founfoot high bin little world to the safety of a rest home From the rent he receives he now contributes toward his keep and incidentals at the home pays insurance and property taxes which have been tripled this year and are now $119 This old man now stands in jeopardy of losing his home Let us hope that this is an isolated case and only could happen in Utah Please be reminded that an incident very similar to the above caused by a maladjusted tax collector nearly a hundred years ago crystallized into events which led to the loss of the world's richest colonial empire DOUGLAS BURGESS The Good Drivers Editor Tribune: When you see a courteous car driver and note that he stops at all railroad crossings slows down by schools and at intersections waits for the green signal dims his headlights when approaching another you can't help but remark that there's a good driver You also don't need a badge to see his driver's license You know he has a "granddaddy" license and that he keeps It because he Is a good driver How else could he keep so many envious people trying to have "granddaddy" licenses revoked? JESS CHRISTENSEN le Leaf Problem holds the season's collection of leaves Just now the leaves have settled in our bin to about two and one half feet of compactness which can easHy and quickly be loaded on a truck with common pitchfork They can be loaded any day during the winter since the mass does not freeze easily and very few loose leaves are blown about on the windiest day Does the truckman SHOULD NOT this plan suggest a challenge to the Street Department in the handling of leaves in the parks and on the streets? Is it not a challenge to churches and service clubs to get teen-agers busy at a civic enterprise that prom ises real satisfaction be cause it will achieve stir prisingly fruitful results? Why can't we promote this simple procedure to the point that the loafer who does nothing with his leaves except wait for them to 'blow away will be hope fully at work doing "what comes naturallr- but-vvhich is his personal responsibil' ity Let's save the leaves and then haul away with satisfaction FRANK POULSON 01146-0- -tg has not been Legislature might decide to ask Congress continued 'Itt
