Letters to the editor

(Continued from page 4) Knights’ had to be exhibited. Time outs are for this kind of planning and executing the game as they go.

A proper time ...

Dear Editor: This letter is not intended to suggest that snowmobile enthusiasts cease to enjoy their sport. I happen to be an avid boater, however, when Mother Nature says “enough’” I put my boat in storage until the lakes are again suitable for boating. Our town board consented to establish a snowmobile route on certain streets in our town of Syracuse. This is great but the board is remiss in not going a step further and establishing a rule that when there is no snow on the designated routes the route is no longer useable Snowmobile operators seem to

Bill would deny right

Dear Editor: President Reagan has yielded to pressure, from some liberals. He has sent to Congress a proposed bill, which would deny tax exempt status to organizations maintaining schools with racial discrimination policies. . This proposed bill will, also, apply to the inseparable churches. The church-school will be presumed guilty, until proven innocent, and could be required to pay taxes on contributions for the past 12 years, because the bill is retroactive. Apparently, President Reagan has acted so hastily, he overlooked the power this bill would give the IRS in assuming tax exempt status is Federal Aid.

feel that it is permissable to simply move in 10 or 15 feet from the roadway and trespass on private property There are those who travel within five feet of private dwellings. Not only is it a rude awakening from a sound sleep at times but the danger exists of striking a child or familypet that may be playing in the vicinity. To correct the situation, snowmobilers need to police themselves, that failing, the town board should rescind the privilege of operating on town streets. Sincerely yours. A. A. “Gus” Luy ben

One of America’s foremost, Constitutional Attorney, William Ball, called it “the most dangerous piece of legislation ever affecting Church-State separation.’’ Wake up Americans! Please remember, if Government can deny one of our constitutional rights, it can deny others. Wake up Christians’ If government can deny tax exempt status to one church, because of religious belief, it can deny tax exempt status to another church, for a different religious belief. The issue here is: Can the federal government regulate and or tax a church, simply because their belief conflicts with public social policies; Will public social policies take precedence over religious beliefs? I feel, if we would all do a thorough study, most would find both to be clearly unconstitutional. Our First Amendment would be meaningless, if we had only the right to our belief, but not the right to execute or practice our belief. . This bill could easily set the precedent for the IRS to revoke the tax exempt status of a church-school, because it: Doesn’t allow non-members. or one of another faith to teach or participate in one of their other functions; Prohibits women from assuming positions of leadership; Refuse membership to homosexuals: Also, because of a church’s stand against ERA, abortion, homosexuals, etc, which the IRS has already enforced in California. The church belongs to God. Will Caesar judge and tax God? Daniel Webster state. “The power to tax. is the power to destroy .” If you value just one of your constitutional rights, there’s a great need for us to protect them all. Please write to President Reagan. Senator Robert Dole and your U.S. Representatives, expressing your views. For a copy of the bill and more information, send a stamped, self-addressed, envelope to Chauncey • L. Bennett. 72850 CR 23 New Paris, Ind., 46553 Thank you. . . where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is Liberty,” (II Cor. liberty to do righteous. \ . Chauncey L. Bennett 1 jL. J*, SEEKS RE-ELECTION — Charles D. Loos, state auditor, has announced he will seek reelection to the offke of auditor of state. He made his formal announcement to that effect on Tuesday, Jan. 26, at the Republican State Headquarters in Indianapolis. In the three years he has compkted in office, he has brought accomplishments which . have been satisfying and gratifying to him. “I appointed an administrator to handle the Deferred Compensation Plan, which was offered to state employees on September 1, 1981. This plan enables employees to defer wages for retirement in a tax-free program. We now have over 13 million in monies set aside by employees.” stated Loos. He added “We have expedited the processing of payments to vendors, enabling us to take advantage of offered discounts. This has resulted in a savings.from August 1989 through December 1981, of approximately 679,009.” The office of Auditor of State is charged with the responsibility for the centralized accounting system for the state. By working closely with the state board of accounts having the benefit of the board’s wide technical expertise in the area of government accounting, financial statements are being refined to agree with the Municipal Finance Officers Association standards. Indiana is close to being the third eligible state in line to receive the Certificate of Compliance from MFOA.
