Show FIFTY-NINTH YEAR. Dad's Column t44-4"H,4'4"fr4'4"i'44'4'4'4'4'4'4"M"M"i SOME TIME ago a high school class In a farming community was asked to write essays on various farming problems. pro-blems. One boy wrote, In part: "Two things are necessary to help dairymen. First,, farmers need better organization; second, farmers need more education about marketing problems." That Is as true as it la simple and it applies to all other branches of agriculture. Farmers Farm-ers who scientifically develop and serve markets, and who are represented by well-financed, efficiently managed and loyally supported marketing organizations are in tne long run, prosperous ana progressive farmers. They will face fewer j grinds of crisis than other, disorganized Deriods farmers and In good times and bad they will earn a better livelihood. Marketing Mar-keting cooperation simply means putting agriculture on a business basis, which eliminates hit-and-miss methods, and so far as possible guarantees that the producer will have a profitable market for what he raises, THAT THE growing of malting barley is becoming Important agriculturally throughout the intermountain region, is seen in the fact that the Becker Brewing plants in" Ogden, Utah, and Evanston, Wyoming, will purchase many millions of pounds of this home-grown crop this year. One farmer in Idaho now has 1800 acres of barley maturing, part of the crop on irrigated lands, and part on dry farms. The seeding of this vast acreage required 91,000 pounds of "pedigreed" barley. SAYS THAT funny fellow, Jo Serra: "A congressman, he may be lacking in some ways, but when it comes to listening, listen-ing, he takes no back seat he is a super-champion he knows listening. And voters who have been sitting around and let the government take the roof off their house, they are waking up and sending messages and letters and talking talk-ing turkey.

The following program was rendered: To the music of the high school orchestra, orch-estra, the forty-seven young men and women graduates marched to their places on the platform, and were greeted by hearty applause by the large audience. It is surely a class to be proud of, and that each member, by future achievement achieve-ment may bring additional honors to "good old Park City High," Is the sincere sin-cere wish of the entire community. A chorus by the girl graduates; the salutatory was impressively given by Miss Ella Adamson; overture by the orchestra; the valedictory cleverly given by Miss Dorothy Moulding; flute-clarinet duet, Miss Betty Haylor and Ella Adamson; address to graduates, Dr. Adam S.

Several legislative acts vitally important to the industry are still holding fire, the settlement set-tlement of which, If favorable, would undoubtedly prove a great Impetus. Continued silence rules the proposal to extend the moratorium on mining assessment as-sessment work. Last year the same procrastination pro-crastination existed until too late to lift the exemption before the date set for completing work. If no action Is taken in the near future it will again be necessary to enact a moratorium or provide more time for completing the assessment work. Proposals to lower tariff tar-iff levels on copper, lead, zinc and zinc products loom as a threat against the mining Industry. Decisions on these proposals pro-posals are eagerly awaited.

WORSE AND MORE OF IT DAILY Says the Salt Lake Tribune: Complete shutdowns at the Walker mine in Plumas Plum-as county, California, and the Mountain City Copper company's mine in Elko county, Nevada, were ordered Friday by the boards of directors of the two companies, com-panies, meeting in Salt Lake City. The order is effective immediately. Directors said the action was necessitated neces-sitated by accumulation of domestic copper stocks and lack of domestic consumption, con-sumption, and intimated that the shutdowns shut-downs would continue until the condition con-dition of the copper market warrants resumption of operation. For several months the Walker mine has been operating at 15 to 20 per cent ! of capacity and employing 60 to 70 men. The Mountain City Copper mine has been operating at about 50 per cent of capacity, employing 150 men. Suspension of operation at these two mines will result in shutting down the copper department at the International Smelting and Refining company's smelter smelt-er at Tooele, affecting between 150 and 200 men, smelting company officials said. The lead plant at the Tooele smelter will continue operating on a curtailed basis. BUTTE MINES CLOSED Anaconda Copper Mining company officials of-ficials Friday announced suspension of work in the Mountain Con and Belmont mines, effective Saturday. Approximately 1500 men will be laid off indefinitely; Only mines now operating are the Anselmo, copper, and the Emma, manganese. man-ganese. Rising stocks of copper and falling prices were blamed. With the latest shutdowns, operations will approximate those of the low point of 1932, when only two mines were kept open. Development and repair work were planned for closed properties to alleviate unemployment, directors reported. DOWN GOES LEAD AND UP GOES UNEMPLOYMENT According to New York dispatches leading lead producers Friday cut the price of lead from 4.25 cents to 4 cents a pound, establishing the lowest level in three years. So far this year the price has ranged from 4.90 to 4 cents. In March, 1937, the metal was quoted at 7.75 cents, the highest since 1929. VISIT NEVADA PROPERTY Ed .J.

Cook, State Fish and Game Commissioner, addressed the Park City Kiwanis Club at their regular meeting held June 1st, on the economic value of fish and game in Utah. "Hunting in the State of Utah is as good, or better, than any state in the United States," said Mr. Cook. "On account ac-count of excessive grazing on the watersheds water-sheds and the relatively small amount of water in our streams in Utah, fishing is quite a different problem," he said. "Conditions of the water -shed and the streams are such that there is little or no natural propagation of fish. Excessive appropriation of water for purposes which takes the water from the streams at certain seasons in the year, makes it impossible for fish to be raised naturally natur-ally and excessive grazing and the water shed has permitted erosion to destroy the natural conditions which make for good fishing." The meeting of the Kiwanis Club was held at J. Norman Neil's cafe on lower Park Avenue. The dinner was served in the dining room. President Foster A. Jones announced that he had taken a position in Green River, Wyoming, with Union Pacific and submitted his resignation resi-gnation as president and as a member of the club. H.

Moore Note This the sixth article or letter in a series of eight articles or letters, the first of which was printed in The Record of March 3rd CHAS. MOORE. Dear Tom; We must first drive the demafrr.nirf.a and our most ignorant politicians from the "Temple," as I stated in my lass letter; but this is a Herculean task and may take time. It may reauire fiftv years or five hundred years or five thousand thou-sand years or five million years. It all aepenas on tne people themselves. We generally get the kind of government that we deserve. We cenerallv cret in this world Just about what we deserve. As long as we think the rich a nirss to the country Instead of a blessing; a long as we ian to understand that all the possessions or wealth of the rich, uemuea wnau tney consume, actually belong be-long to all of us, and especially to our most dependent, or the less financially Independent of our population, we cannot can-not make much progress. Let us take Henry Ford, for example: All the wealth wnicn he possesses is used to make work for many thousands of our least independent people least independent, financially. If Ford has some capital or money in the banks as working capital, the banks can loan it to other business men to assist them to hire more men and produce more wealth. Every dollar of his wealth is working for the benefit or an or us but more especially, for those who need Jobs at good wages; that is, the least financially independ ent section or our population. Then these workers must be fed and clothed and housed, and this gives the farmer a market or enlarges his market. The clothing manufacturer, cloth manfac-turer, manfac-turer, the small retailer, the producer of Duucung materials, the miner, and all sections of our population are benefitted and jobs are multiplied. But you say: "What about young Mr. Spendthrift, who inherited ten million dollars from his old dad a couple of years ago? He is spending his money like a drunken sailor." Well, he Is Just putting put-ting it in circulation in a different way. Brtore he inherited it, this ten millions of capital was employed in the building trades, let us say, giving many hundred's of men employment. He sold out his interest for ten million dollars and put the money in the bank and now he is throwing his money away at the rate rf five hundred thousand dollars a year. Well, while he is throwing it away and putting it in circulation in a different way, he is giving a lot of people employment, em-ployment, and still it is the least Independent Inde-pendent section of the population, financially, fin-ancially, that Is getting the benefit -of this wealth. He la sowing it broadcast, instead of planting it in rows and hiring many, many hundreds of men, HIMSELF to tend it and cultivate It. And while this Is an EXTREME CASE, nevertheless, the benefits go chiefly to those who are mostly in need of a little free spending. Besides, the bank where he has his money deposited will have the use of a goodly portion of it for a good many years, anu the bank will loan out the money to business men so they may hire many, many men at good wages in the production of real wealth. As long as the rich man's wealth remains re-mains in the country. Rnd as long as he is not driven out of the country by harsh laws, to build his factory or establish his business in some other country, all of his wealth belongs to the most needy part of our population and is working for them, except possibly the nrid nr tun n-r rrrf. nf hie tuonltW wiiirli ! he rosllms. Anfl pvpn th. Bmnll - centage consumed by him makes some work for a lot of people. We can't depend on the Democratic party to do anything very wise for us. Since Andrew Jackson came Into power, the Democratic party has been a party of spoils and office seeking. Since Andrew Jackson was elected President, the Democratic Dem-ocratic party has had no principles except ex-cept such demagoguery as the leaders thought mcst likely to catch votes. Jefferson and Washington set forth some sound principles of good government, govern-ment, such as an intelligent voting populatlon and Tm COUNTRY IS TH E j BEST GOVERNED WHICH IS THE LEAST GOVERNED." Many other sound principles of government were set forth by these men. Both were men of affairs and men of substance. Washington was the richest man ln the country. Jefferson Jef-ferson as well as Washington looked upon up-on wealth, Intelligence and virtue in its largest sense as among the mcst desir- -f.ble things for the country. Then the vote catching JacKson came along, and his policy was to cater to the most Ignorant part cf the population popula-tion and destroy wealth.
