THE WAY IT The Hidden Issues There are some great and challenging Issues in this cam- palgn. The hard-working candl- dates have done their best to clarify these Issues. My contrl- button will be to confuse the isl sues, and if possible (lie voters also. Behind every Issue lies a hidden Issue. Now you take economy In government.

When a candidate thumps loud on economy you can be sure that this is a candidate whose feet hurt. He has believed his own argument, and he has bought some cheap shoes that do not fit properly. You voters should know what you are voting on. Then there is the computer, This is a very weighty issue. I believe the computer weighs many tons.

In the mind of the candidate the computer symbolizes his dear grandmother. His grandmother was always right. She could figure out how many cookies he had stolen without even looking. The candidate wants his grandmother in high or at least he wants her to be the power behind the office. Do we really want a granny administration in this state? Pollution Is a burning issue.

Sometimes It seems to be a IDAHO BRIEFS By I A LAKE murky or smoky issue, hates pollution, but the candidate makes an Issue of It is probably trying to quit smoking. If he is elected he will want you to quit smoking. You mustde- clde whether you want to give up your little Indulgences. Taxation is a most depressing issue. Nobody likes to talk about It.

"Tax" is a bad three- letter word that never dared grow up and become a tour-letter word, You can't really say what you think about taxation without hurting somebody'sfeel- Ings. Therefore the candidate who hammers taxation as an issue is probably wishing he could grow his hair long and wear sideburns, If he Is elected the barbers will raise their prices. This is serious. The last issue I will mention is selling beer on Sunday. None of the candidates has stressed this profound problem.

This means ft is too sore a point for them to consider out loud. It Is probably better to sell beer on Sunday than to have people buying large quantities of beer on Saturday to drink on Sunday. If this issue is clear to you, then you are one up on me. IDAHO JOURNAL NEWS OF EASTERN IDAHO AND THE STATE POCATELLO, IDAHO, FRIDAY, JULY 31, 1970 Idaho Slale Journal Section Poge 1 Harsh Discipline Won't Curb Drug Abuse, Asserts Hartung MOSCOW, Idaho (AP- Harsh discipline alone won't stop drug abuse, says Dr. Ernest Hartung, president of the University of Idaho.

He saysihe "spectacular drug problem" requires healthy por- (ions of education and counsel-" ing- starting as early as grade school.

c. Sandberg, D- Blackfoot, said Thursday he doesn't believe any reapportionment of the Idaho legislature will be needed as a result of the 1970 census. Sandberg authored a 1966 law reapportioning the legislature. Sandberg conceded the only possibility of a change might be inDislrictS embracing Latah County. He said the population in that county had grown considerably in the past 10 years.

Sandberg and former Sen. Perry Swisher of Pocatello drew up the plan under which Idaho was divided into 35 legislative districts, each with about 20,000 population. "We drew the lines so (hat gaining in population had less people and those losing pop. ulation had more," Sandberif said. He said as a result of the census some changes will be needed in the state's two congressional districts.

"We thought the Second District would grow more than it did, but most of the state's growth was in Ada County," Sandberg commented. Ada County is in the First Congressional District. a college town often become upset at rumors of parties where drugs are used. But Hartung said both the university and city police face some practical problems. "It's so hard to detect if a crime has been committed," he said.

"A nick of the wrist, a flush of the toilet, and the evidence is gone." "A few guys may get together in someone's dormitory room in the black of night and smoke pot," said Hartung. "Tliey air out the room, destroy the evidence. "A few days later, someone may say, 'We sure had a whale of a party last Tuesday night, 1 But who can prove it?"
