Practice Act Does Not Ap-ply to Defeated Aspirants. Just wllat steps should bs taken under tb corrupt practices act with regard to - failure of candidates before political convention to file statements of their refor political ceipts and' disbursements purposes with the proper filing officers designated by the corrupt practices act, will be the subject of an lnvestlga tlon by Harden Bennlon, secretary of state, tomorrow. Mr. Bennlon expects to obtain a formal ruling on soma disputed Questions from Dan B. Shfelda, attorney general, and then Jto preslst the tpatter . to the proper authorities. Mr. Benntons own office' is the filing office for candidates for stats officsa and for all other offices where the Jurisdiction covers more than one county. This Includes the Judicial conventions of every district In tbe state, and also the sena tonal conventions in several of the districts. Salt Lake, Utah, Weber and Cache counties are each separate sena torlsl districts. . -- ; ths yesterday, "that word primary, as given in the corrupt of practices act. and under ths definition ths word 'candidate,' there Is no doubt that any candidate for state office who brought to the convention the Instructed votes of a precinct primary, should file a statement of his campaign expenses, If be Is willing to comply with ths laws of the state. I shall study the question further, and perhaps ask for an opinion on ths subject from the attorney general, and then la all probability shall refer the reoord la the case to the county attorney of Weber oouaty, for such action as he HAT Ml fit "I may say that, following the visit from Mr. Hollingsworth, I referred the point raised to Attorney General Shields, and be appeared to be strongly of ths opinion that tbs law would require statement from a person In Mr. Wattiss Thereupon 1 so advised Mr, position. Wattis by telephone. He said that he would refer ths mattsr to his attorney. I havs not heard from him since. Previous Failure No Excuse. I have not examined the record of two years ago personally. It 1s quits possible that eoms candidates defeated before the convention did not file at that time. The law was then a new one, and ' we were not quite familiar with Its provisions. Any fallurs of two years sso to exact full compliance with the law would not excuse similar failure this year. Attorney General' Shields said that While In the section to which Mr. Hollingsworth refers the law does speak of candidates before primaries and convention. In othsr places In the law It talks of candidates for nomination. ths J "In any event," said Mr. Shields, of the law at least contemplates Slrtt statements should be filed by all before primaries, candidates, whether conventions or elections of all contributions received, expenses Incurred promises made, for political purposes.1 Letter.

Oregon-Washingt- Dispute between Bummlt an Rich counties over the county line at last has found Its way Into tha supreme court of the state after a long and devious course through the state engineer's office, the legislature and the district court Ths stake at Issue is a considerable area of mountain laud, on which the assessed valuation is not very high, and some four or five mllea of Union Pacific track, on which the assessed valuation is very considerable. Each county wanta the railroad to contribute the annual taxes on this track to its respective treasury. The suit is entitled "Summit County ami South Summit School District Against Rich County." The particular point at Issue is whether an act passed by the 1817 legislature, which it was hoped might settle the differences between the ooun ties for all time. Is constitutional. Ths case appealed was originally heard before Judge Harold M. Stephens of the Third district, in which Summit county Is located. Rich county demurred to the contention of Summit county and the school district and Judge Stephens. In a lengthy decision, upheld the demurrer. The complaint, was amended and demurrer waa again 'sustained. The plaintiffs elected to stand by tha amended complaint and appealed. The plaintiffs contend that the Utah oongtltutlon fixes the boundaries of Sum, nilt county definitely and that the legls latur under these circumstances was without power to alter them. The legislature, it la contended, passed the act as tha result of false representations; that ths mattsr had long been disputed, and that ths constitution Is Indefinite. Judge Stephens held that tf this were true, Bummlt county's position waa well taken, but he decided that the wording of the constitution is indefinite and the legislature, therefore, had the power to fix the boundary by a more definite wording. Tn proposal to fix the boundary line was more or less of a political football during the 1817 legislature, but Rich county waa finally able to win the legislative battle and the disputed stretch of railroad extending northeast from Wahsatcb station.

The University of Utah will conduct a limited number of branch summer schools throughout the state as a result of the aueeees of the initial one held at Verna last season. President John A. Widtsoe of the university said yesterday. Already many 'communities have made petitions for sueh schools. Wherever there is a qualified need and demand for a branch summer school and the proper arrangements can be made betwedn the university and the county desiring the school, wo will establish one, Dr. Widtsoe saids The arrangement for the Vernal school was made between the county superintendent of Uintah connty and the university, In Uintah connty tho teachers must attend summer school by virtue of their contracts. Any community contempt! ing asking for a branch summer school should make its request early, te give time for the selection of instructors. Teachers in Uintah county are employing the new theory of vitalized education for the first time in the history of Utah schools as the result of the branch summer school conducted at Vernal last year. Professor C. D. Steiner, head of the department of rural education at the university, was principal of tbe Vernal school, which was conducted at the request of the business and educational men of Vernal because of the impracticability of the teachers of the basin traveling to Salt Lake for instruction. The aim of vitalized education, Professor Steiner said, is to inspire an interest in education-- to inenlcato a desire on the part of every student to apply himself to hie work through the medium of interest We aim to make hie subjects so interesting that hs will want to go to schooL Textbooks, instead of being merely dry, masses of type, will be need onIJ as references to eldar np problems which the students run into in the actual investigation. This vitalized educational work will mean radical changes in the quality of school teachers. It will mean that the teacher cannot spend a few minutes en route to the classroom on her lesson. It means that she eannot come unprepared, depending on her open textbook. It will force her to spend as-- much time on her preparation as does her moot diligent pupil. The new system is so nsw that as yet there are no textbooks it. The teacher most preadapted pare the textbook as she goes along. Bhs must prepare herself to answer any question that John or Mary may ask on any correlative angle of the subject in hand.

H. Wattis, candidate for nomination for governor before the Reconvention, has already been publican taken up by the secretary of state. Mr. Bennlon a few days ago wrote to Mr. Wattis, calling his attention to the fact that no statement had been filed by him or any person representing him, and Mating ' .that the corrupt practices act to seemed call for such a statement. This brought a visit to the office from C. R. Hollingsworth, acting as attorney for Mr, Wattle, who asserted that he did not interpret the corrupt practices act as requiring a statement from a defeated candidate before s convention. Mr. Hollingsworth took the position that the law requires that any candidate before a pri-ox mary or election shall file a statement Ms campaign expenses, but not a candidate before a political convention. Mr. Hollingsworth also asked to see ths files of two years ago, when ths oorfupt practices not was first in effect. Earth Tremors Are Suspected " by Salt Lakers Utilization of the flood waters of the Logan river, collected during the spring high waters, to irrigate lands on tho east side of Cache county, all the way from Millville or Providence to Richmond, I contemplated by influential irrigators and business men of that area. In furtherance of their plan, George F. McOonagle, state engineer, yesterday withdrew, with the consent of Governor Bamberger, all the unappropriated waters of the river from entry, for a period of two years. By that time it Is hoped that all- preliminary steps will have been taken toward the formation of an irrigation district covering the area affected, financially strong enough to handle the contemplated project. Estimates presented by Dr. Samuel Fortier, chief of the Irrigation division of .the United States bureau of public roads, and W. W. McLaughlin, senior Irrigation engineer, of the same division, point to the advisability of the construction of a dam across ths left hand fork of the river, near the Upper Twln and about twenty-on- e mile bridges, above IOgan city. According to Dr. Fortier a dam 210 feet high at this point would store about 35,000 acre-feof water, and would cost about 12,500,000. Mr. McLaughlin says that with such a supply of water available, all lapds at present under canal In tha area mentioned In the district could receive an ample supply of water, while there would be an annual surplus of bout 30.000 acre-fee- t, or sufficient to Irrigate not to exceed 13,000 acres additional. In addition to this the project would supply ample water for the operation of power plants at present Idle or operating with a short supply of water for of the year. Mr. McLaughlin also part out that by effecting exchanges point with Bear river and other users, additional use might be made of tbe stored water In the proposed project. The withdrawal of the river from further entry, effected by Mr. McGonagles proclamation, waa done on petition from a group of residents of Cache county forwarded to Governor Bamberger.
