Wtsumiltwipapet Union) vice-presdie- nt KATHERINE EDELMAN J - Sixty-fiv- e of Box Elder county gathered at the Lions club rooms Monday night and organized a pool, signing contracts for the delivery of their fleece to the National Wool Marketing corporation of Salt Lake City. The meeting, which was presided over by Leland Hansen, was in response to a call of the North Box Elder farm bureau, which for some time has been investigating the handicap under which the wool men of this section have been labored with respect to the marketing of their wool. Dan J. O'Loughlin, of Salt Lake was the speaker of the evening. He pointed out as the most effective remedy for present conditions, which caused a loss to the grower of 2 cents a pound on his fleece, is their affiliation with the National Wool Marketing corporation. This he said, could be accomplished by the signing of a contract for delivery to the corporation, which assured them the highest market price for their product. It also gave them the additional advantage of buying their supplies, feed, twine, etc., through the medium of the pool, thus insuring wholesale prices. He pointed out the fallacy of the method of shipping which now prevails; the hauling of the wool in trucks to the shipping thus necessitating shipment in fioints, carload lots, which added 2 cents a pound to the cost of production. This, he said, would be obviated by the gathering of the wool or sheep at Tremonton and shipping in carload lots, thus getting the advantage of carload rates. At the meeting, the decision to form a pool was unanimous and the organization was formed with Leo Earl, of Fielding, president, Charles Peterson, East Tremonton, and Owen L. Brough, Tremonton, secretary. Contracts were signed with the National Wool Marketing corporation for te delivery of 8,145 fleeces, the as each corporation representative, contract was signed, paid an advance of one dollar per fleece, or $8,145 to the signers. The contracts represent ed bands of sheep, running from 12 to 5,000 head. It is planned to establish a headquarters at Tremonton, for the maintenance of which the growers will pay to the North Box Elder farm bureau, one quarter of a cent per pound on their fleece, the bureau to employ an expert to handle the shipments ar d look after all shipping details. A general invitation has been extended to all the wool growers and sheepmen of the valley to join the pool at the earliest date possible so that the product of 1930 can be handled to the best advantage. , Article 13, of, thCBtitution tf the State of Utah, relating to revenue and taxation. He stated that for the past 25 years the people had been trying to get an amendment to this article, but In spite of all that could be done, sinister forces had controled the situation, and in a persistent and consistent manner, had created a sentiment among the voters that had voted down the proposed amendments to the constitution. Before this problem comes up before the legislature this fall every good citizen should know something about the laws as 'thev stand now and the proposed amend- ments and then should stand and vote for what he knows is best. si long as the law of fit "relation to taxation, is inuniformity, vocue. he stocks, bonds, and monies or other intangible assets or collateral in the banks,can never be reached for because to do so and tax on the present system of uniform taxation, would be nothing more or less than confiscation. He sited illustrations to show that if 4 or 6 percent tax were placed on these intangible properties the tax would be greater than the average rate of interest received on bonds and money. ; Until this law is changed there can be no equitable or just collection of taxes on this intangible property. Other amendments that were refer-e- d to, were the ones relating to the prison removal; the one relating to vacanies in the legislature; the creation of a state tax commission; the one relating to the taxation of mines and minging property and the one relating to the State school fund and the manner of; distributing the interest of such fund and othe rreven-iieof the several school districts of the state. After a discussion of these amendments, the Secretary of State said: "It is my opinion that one could do no better than to vote these proposed amendments from top to bottom." Mr. Welling prefaced his remarks, especially to the Idaho Lions present, whom he expressed the hope that good offices of service 'lWighand. theother influential people of tiut their state, all possible influence should be brought to bear on their secretary of state, as to the importance and urgency of reaching an agreement between the two states, that may speedily bring about an appreciation of the necessity .of free motor truck traffic between the states, which are, in numberless ways so closely allied. Lion, district govenor L. P. Holman the concluding speaker, directed his remarks in appreciation of the fair and .intellegent discussion of the tax of state question by. the saving that he endorsed all that had 1een said and thought the Lion clubs all over the state could not do bettei than to have such an intellegent discussion of the subject in every club.

ON CITIZENSHIP John Benson Of Bear River High Stresses Loyalty To Others The regular luncheon meeting of the Lion's Club was held at the Shield Hotel Wednesday, April 16th with Vice President Fishburn officiating in the absence of President Woodward. Lion Bates was again on the job with his ten cent bank collecting dimes from the innocent as well as the guilty. Crystal and Bessinger were fined 10c each for doing their best. Mr. Fishburn reported an enjoyable trip to Richmond by the Club and the majority returned by the old route. Doctor's Luke and Green in seeking a short cut found themselves swarped in a wheat field. The attempt however was not successful. The clothes cleaners reported that business was good for the next day or two. The next attempt will be made in an airship. Mr. Fishburn also reported that the district convention would be held at American Fork, May 28th. James Walton, chairman of the program committee introduced John Benson of the High School as speaker of the evening. After a few introductory stories. Mr. Benson touched on the important points of citizenship. He also showed how social service clubs could help the community by fostering schools, churches; morality, charity, amusements, health conditions, etc. He classified citizenship as city lot citizenship; the type that looks only at the purely selfish side; as town citizenship, slightly a little larger type; but the most desirable type is the broader class that stands for increasing the American intelligence and elevating the American standard of living. The speaker had good command of the subject matter and delivered it in a very interesting manner as evi denced by the attention of his listeners. After the regular closing ceremonies another pleasant evening passed into history.' and Gleaners Banquet To Be April 24 M Men R. A. Christensen Hurt In Fall From His Horse Sherman. K. Burke, of San Francisassistant general industrial agent of the Southern Pacific railroad and D. ROwen, of Salt Lake, general agent, of the S. P., accompanied by P. N. Pierce, Senator Tracy Welling, A. M. Reeder, W. J. Glenn and George Wood, representing the grain growers of the Blue Creek, Hansel, Whites and Pocatello valleys, and also County Agricultural Agent R. H. Stewart, went over the proposed Blue Creek route to Howell, on Wednesday. Howell is about fifteen miles, up the valley from Lampo, and in the opinion of the grain growers of the district, is the most central point for the location of a new station and co, - - warehouse. ; v For more than three years the grain growers have sought to induce the railroad to make this extension, but the visit paid by the railroad officials on Wednesday is the closest they have come to getting consideration oi tneir ; proposal. ';.;: In the event that the branch is built. and the fact that officials of the in dustrial department of the railroad was sent here from San Francisco, to make an inspection and inquire into the general conditions, demonstrates' that the project is benig given serious consideration, a bonded warehouse would be built at Howell, where the growers would have the advantage of shorter hauls for their product and the grain would be sampled and graded by experts, before shipment." This latter fact would assure to the growers the top price for their grain, instead of, as heretofore, being compelled to accept the price of grain bought in bulk, which is invariably the lowest in the market. The railroad officials made a thorough inspection and were given all the facts with respect to the amount of grain which they could depend upnn ' hauling, in the event of the branch"4 being built, as well as the' amount of ' other freight they might expect The committee which accompanied the railroad officiaUoiLthe trip re i.ucii aim me coniiaenwy hoping for a favorable report on the' project For obvious reasons, the ' officials made no statement as to the nature of the report they would render nor on the possibility of its adoption, but remarks dropped here and there in conversations during the trip, has pepped tho committee up to the point where they feel, that the next card turned up in the long, drawn-owaiting game, will be a trump. - ut Infant Son Of Mr. and Mrs. Reed Giles, Dies Private services were heUl at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Heusser, of Deweyville, grandparents of Reed Junior, the infant son, of Mr. and Mrs. Reed Giles, of Tremonton.

Lions Wander From "Straight and Narrow" The Lions, who attended the inter-clu- b meet at Richmond, Monday, en joyed a real treat. The Bumptiousness of the banquet, inducing drowsiness was not conducive to the alertness necessary to navigate an automobile through the worst snow storm of this year which greeted the homeward bound Tremontonians. It appears from the best information we are able to gain that Dr. Luke and John P. Holmgren were tke most effected: the result being that they were unable to Bee the road. . The doctor and Mr. Holmgren, in order to see the road, opened the doors of their cars and attempted to stay on the road by following the outside track. The outside track, however, proved to be the road that did not lead to home and the doctor found himself out in the middle of someone's dry farm, while Mr. Holmgren proceeded to back his car down a steep incline when he discovered that he had also got off the road. The worst that happened from it all, however, was that the occupants of both cars were like so many mud ducks by the time the cars were on the right road and headed safely for home. All were agreed that it was some snow storm, as well as some banquet. - Home Beautif ication Subject Of Meeting: "Home Beautification" was a subject discussed last Saturday at the clvb rooms by Prof. J. C. Hogenson, and Prof. Chas. Genaux, of the U. S. A. C. of Logan, to the committee of local Farm bureaus, with Mrs. Geo. Clark, Mrs. Robt Calderwood.
