The speakers were State Representative Sam F. Kiefer, and Attorney Joseph (J. Jeppson. Dr. Elmer I. Goshen presided. Mr. Kiefer talked on the Townsend plan and its principles, while Mr. Jeppson talked against this particular plan. Both speakers, nevertheless, were in favor of old age security. The discussion was interesting. Questions were asked of the speakers, who replied according to their knowledge of the subject. Our club was organized some time ago for the purpose of discussing topics of public interest. The club meets in the First Congregational church the first and third Tuesday evenings of the month.

QUINN TO SEEK NEW CONTRACT County Commissioner Barney F. is insisting on a writteri contract between the county commission and Dr. R. J.

That he refrain from mainQuinn For Better Service Insist on CAULESONS Double-Chec- k System It Costs No More Fred A. Carleson, Inc. YOUR the Utah social security plan. As has been pointed out in the Utah Labor News, ever since the nation al social security measure was passed, the Utah act does not con' form to the national act, and C' cordingly the benefits to Utahns have been delayed and perhaps will continue to be delayed. The Utah Labor News during the past few months has urged the Governor to call a special session of the legislature to amend the Utah law to meet the requirements of the national act. Had this been done last summer, or prior to January 1 the state woula now be participating in the benefits provided in the national law. It does not take a lawyer to know that Utahs act does not conform with the federal law. The watchful waiting of the state administration, it is predicted by many, will prove a serious handicap to the Democratic state ticket in this years election. The major issue in the election this year will no doubt be social security. The Townsendites are more than, 30, 000 strong in Utah and are growing at the rate ol' several hundred new members each week. When the time comes, the Townsend club members will endorse candidates, and it goes without Raying, that the candidates endorsed will be those who are for worthwhile whole-hearted- ly so- cial security, not alone for the aged, hut for the unemployed, deanc widows children, pendent mothers. The time has come when the voters will not approve of dilly dallying, and they will not take no for an answer, when it comes ;o vital issues like old age pen sions, etc. Promotions There is considerable talk of promoting liberal members of the as house of representatives of the Utah state legislature. One Salt Lake county member, who fought for measures sponsored by labor and agriculture was Sam F. Kiefer. Many of his friends and admirers would like to see him go to the state senate this year, here is also some mention of lim for congressman from the second district, and also for the gubernatorial nomination. There is considerable talk in Weber county of state representative C. B. Dotv for state senator, le has served two terms in the ower house, and he has made a splendid record. During both terms had the chairmanship of the lighly important house labor com mittee. Many of Dotys friends wTould like to see him in the senate when the bonus, veterans bene fits, war debt interest, and army and navy expenses are figured in. At the same time, he pointed out, farms are being mortgaged, 700,-00- 0 children have to study in unsafe school buildings, millions of unemployed must depend on relief wages to stay alive. This situation, he said, is not adequately considered by congress. Proposed legislation to cope with it is buried in committee or fails to pass, he declared, "and yet, we go on increasing and increasing, first in one house and then in the other, these vast appropriations for armament and for war with a country that nobody can name. J. F. Rhodes, Typographlca Union No, 115, was elected presi dent of the Salt Lake Allied Print ing Trades council at its recent meeting. The council voted to in itiate an active campaign in behali' of union labels, organized labor, and the Allied Printing Trades label in particular.
