Edward Rietz. of Mishawaka Burial was* in St. Joseph Valley Memorial Park South Bend VOICE OF THE PEOPLE Federal Regionalism The premise that our Founding Fathers established that those who govern do so only with the consent of the governed is being severely attacked. We find today that regional government is threatening our basic freedoms because it is becoming, in words of many of our elected officials, “a monster”. For this reason nearly six years ago the Committee To Restore The Constitution did ask the Indiana State Legislature to investigate Federal Regionalism. We ask them to determine three things here in Indiana and all other states. Number 1 Does federal regionalism seek to change or modify local government in any with without the knowledge and consent of the people? Number 2. Does federal regionalism seek to change or destroy any of the freedoms of person and property guaranteed by the Constitution? Finally, we ask the state legislature to determine if federal regionalism is an attempt to overthrow the Constitution and erect a new kind of government? The Indiana Joint Interim Study Committee found these questions on Regional Government to be in the affirmative, because the key to success in any state lies in the state legislature. Only the legislators may speak for the state in its highest sovereign capacity to strike down and suppress the current efforts to take away the liberties of the people. Responding to citizen unrest over the federal regional concept, and acting on testimony and documentation presented by many individuals during a four-month inves-

tigation of federal regionalism, chaired by Senator Gene Snowden, adopted on October 5. 1976. a bill designed lo outlaw regionalism in the state of Indiana Both the Indiana Senate and the House of Representatives have passed the bill which voids the Federal imposed Regional Government in the State of Indiana. The bill was first approved by the Senate 28 to 19 on March I. 1981 after nearly six years of effort on part of Senator Gene Snowden. On April 13. 1981 the House approved Senate Bill 1. 75 to 23. The effort was led by Rep. Robert Dailey. Speaker of the House and Rep. Richard Dellinger, Majority Leader of the House and Rep. Dean Mock. This made Indiana the first state to assert its right to state sovereignty. The bad new s is Governor Robert Orr delayed this vital law by veto on May I. 1981. You may see Senate Bill 1 adopted starting in Januarv, 1982, if vou make vour support known to your legislators in your county and district. Also call and write Senator Robert Garton and Rep. Robert Dailey. The address is: State House. Indianapolis. Ind. 46204. The toll free numbers are. Senate 1 800 9467; House: 1-800-382-9841 or 382-9842. Paul F. Double. Pres. Indiana State Committee To Restore The Constitution Box 23. Ossian. Ind. 46777 Rally For Education Over 5,000 citizens of the State of Indiana will come together on Thursday. January 14. to take part in the Rally for Education, spon sored by the Indiana State Teachers Association. The rally participants — stu dents, parents, administrators, school board members and teachers — will demonstrate to the Governor and the General Assembly the feelings Hoosiers have for their schools, and demand that they be funded adequately. As the new session of the legislature begins, the General Assembly must make educational funding a priontv. Governor Orr has said we must all cut back, but education has already been slashed to the bone. Indiana, with one of the highest personal income averages among the states, nationally ranks 34th in per pupil expenditures. And in state and local tax effort, Indiana has the dubious honor of ranking last in the nation Past funding cuts have caused overcrowding in the classroom. Indiana would need to add 3.000 teachers to the system just to bring it up the the national standard of minimum class size. Currently, we are 36th in class size in the country. Teacher salaries are grossly inadequate. Indiana teachers rank 22nd in average salary in the United States. This statistic is responsible for the "silent strike" among teachers, i.e., talented teachers leaving the profession in droves and falling enrollment figures in the teacher training institutions. In times of economic strife, it is crucial that the public schools be maintained to provide skilled and educated citizens for tomorrow. Franklin D. Roosevelt best expressed this sentiment when he said, "The school is the last expenditure upon w hich America should be willing to economize". Hoosiers need to tell the Governor and the legislature that they will not tolerate educational needs being pushed aside and ignored as they were last year. Join us at the Indianapolis Convention Center on Januarv 14 at 7:00 p.m. to show vour support for our schools. Dr. Dale E. Harris Executive Director Indiana State Teachers Association A pessimist is a person who is seasick during the entire voyage of his life.
