As between the principle of municipal ownership and a public utilities corporation, The Reflex is now and always has been for the corporation, but we ahe opposed unqualifiedly to a public utilities law such ns Is now in force in Utah. Wore the editor of The Reflex a member of the commission he would probably rule as the commission has ruled. As a matter of factit would be hnrd to rule in any other manner under the provisions of the law and that Is exactly the reason why the law should be repealed not amended, but repealed. The law is auch a gruesome failure in most of its provisions that it is not susceptibly of being twisted I into good law. The friends of the law, and it has dome friends, point out that the law is in many respects in harmony with federal laws concerning public utili ties which were passed as'war measures. Tills fact alone is sufficient to condemn the law-ithe minds of most people. This is a period of reerm- struction and depression, and the conditions are not at nil suited to the application of such laws. The law concerning public utilities is a bad law. The findings of tha commission are final and from which there is no appeal other than a review by the supreme court to determine if the provisions of the law have been followed. It is a bad law in that it nullifies existing contracts entered into in good faith. It is a bad law in that it practically creates monopolies in public utilities. Under the provisions of the law one has to secure a certificate of necessity and convenience before constructing a power plant, an electric light plant, or even operating a stage or freight line. Mahy other objections to the law might he cited, but the above reasons re sufficient for its repeal. It has been tried and found to be anything but a good law for the people. COMMUNITY ROAD BUILDING Elsewhere in this issue of The Reflex will be found the annua! report of the Layton Good Roads association. This association, composed Of resident land owners of East Layton, is doing real things in improving the roads in that community and is entitled to the commendation of all progressive citizens. During the past year the association graded four miles of dirt road and hauled and spread three hundred loads of gravel. The association expended in this work $625 in labor and $500 which was received from the board of county commissioners. During the present year the association plans to exceed the efforts of last year. If other communities of Davis county were to emulate East Layton, the question of good roads would soon be solved. The Reflex would like to publish the names of Ihe thirty-foumembers of this road accosiation whieh is doing such good work for their r THE DELINQUENT BOY At Farmington yesterday about a dozen youths came before Judge IIol-thof the Juvenile court, charged with various degrees of crime. It was a spectacle the like of which has probably not been witnessed before in this county, and should be the occasion for deep concern on the rart of those who stand for law and order. Whither are we go'ng? Where does the fault lie. when the children from 11 to 16 years flagrantly violate the laws of society? Is it due to the war? Is it part cf the crime wave that is sweeping' the country or should we look rearer to home for the cause? In looking into the records of the boys.arragned before the judge we discover that every one of them has 'teen a violator of the school attendance law.. This is a s'.gn;f,cant fact. Ilere is probably where J. respect fer er law began. r The school law was made r the youth of our land and for tho ' . .: i ing of it are on dangerous ground. Failures in school are apt to be failures in society, as shown by juvenile records. The lure of the sensational picture show and the long list of other commercialized amusements are too much for the growing boy and girl unless there is a strong counteracting influence. The home in itself is strong enough.to keep children in the rath of right, but the best homes need to he. reinforced in these days by the ihunh and the school. Every means possible should be enlisted to protect and develop those who shortly must bear the responsibility of citizenship in the greatest natron of the earth. This unfortunate rase should arouse all who are engaged in the care and training of the youth of our country, including parents, church workers and those tharged with the enforcement (if law. It is regrettable- that the compulsory school attendance law is not more strictly enforced. The unhappy proceedings at Farmington might have been avoided if such had been the case. Not that we wish to blame the school authorities more than others responsible for this delinquency which has resulted in crime, but our purpose is to impress the fac$ that the public expects those charged with the enforcement of law to do their duty. We think tt better that a boy be sent to the reform school according to law than be trained in law breaking. 'g of a safe citizenship, --Those it and permit the break- - - A nrrr.rx.
