They realize worry doesn't help but intelligent precaution does. They realize that they themselves have been habitually guilty of pedestrian misdemeanors. So thousands of parents have humbly gone back to learning the first principles of crossing a street safely. It's serious business, this building of morale. And it is g to be established as a project. Respect for traffic law is to enlarge into respect for all law, for the building of better citizenship." Although 3250 communities are on record as participating in organ ized safety programs, this represents only a small coverage of the areas which need protection. For wherever there are children and ears, there is need for caution. And you whether or not yon own and operate a car r a child must do your part Alone, and through community organization.

So let's look and see how they manage this safety crusade: "Each weekday morning we find 70,000 children hurrying to school and automobiles going places. We find the city laid out with definite crossing places for school children, with a genial alert officer at each spot He will be at the curbstone and he herds his charges into an orderly parade. After they get their young army of pedestrians safely in school, the police officers devoted to this work are very much about their business, doing missionary work among the citizenry. They also drill schoolboy patrols for supplementary curbstone duty." But police officers alone couldn't accomplish much in making traffic safe for children, explains Mrs. Kunbeck. The second great feature of the nation-wid- e themselves. organizes the childrenschool safety Much of the credit for to the patrol work must be given American Automobile Association which has sponsored, equipped and encouraged these patrols. Today there are 275,000 schoolboy policemen throughout the country guiding 8,000,000 schoolmates back and forth across hazardous crossings. Mrs. Runbeck praises the magnificent job in cooperation in schools that is being done by Women's AssociaClubs, the tions and other interested groups and states that "all sorts of ingenuity has been brought into play to make this business of being safe as vital as it must be. It is kept interesting so children will keep remembering and keep living." ' Members of the Utah State Legisy lature near the mark of the session this week with twenty-thir- d approximately 250 proposed new laws, amendments to existing ones, and repeals awaiting action. Thus far covering three weeks of 17 bills have lawmaking activities received the approval of a majority of upper house members. Ten have passed the house of representatives, lour of which are approved senate measures. The senate has killed three bills and the lower house has disposed of one through adoption of an unfavorable committee report. The house has tabled two bills. One has been withdrawn in the senate. A summarizing of voting strength on measures backed by the "liberal" or "progressive" element indicates rough sledding ahead for legislation such as is embodied in bills aimed to set up wage and hour standards, and for anything that smacks of Increased expenditures or changes In the existing order of the state's fiscal control and management. Sign posts along the voting way point to a fulfillment of Governor Henry H. Blood's expressed desire for an economical legislative program and one which will keep away from any drastic changes that might prevent a balanced state budget. That little will be accomplished in the creation g of new departments or commissions, or in burdening business and industry with increased taxation or regulation loads is the belief of legislative experts. Nevertheless there are many bills already introduced that call for a revamping of the taxation structure and more that would affect the daily lives of Utahns both in cities and on the farms. Many of these are apparently due to die a speedy death. Some will be enacted into law, but the consensus of opinion seems to be that the current legislature will leave things pretty much as they are ex- half-wa- ! - I 1 i money-spendin- STEAM ROLLING ST0HL ELEVATOR CO.

Measures of statewide importance and interest that will absorb the attention of legislators within the next few days include homestead tax exemption, payment of industrial compensation for victims of occupational diseases, setting up of a wage and hour program for intrastate commerce, sale of liquor by the drink and local option, several bills to safeguard motor vehicle traffic, others to in crease revenue for schools, and civil service for state, county and citv employes and appointees. Bills affecting taxation introduced in the past week include: exemption of metal producers with net incomes of less than $20,000 form the occupation tax; exemption of credit unions from taxation; exemption from taxation of personal property up to $300 in valuation; depriving the state tax commission of power to initiate equa ization proceedings among classes of property within counties; requirement that the commission's statement to county auditors regarding assessment changes and its determination of the state levy be made on or before Aug ust 1; making special improvement taxes a lien above any other excepting general property taxes, and advancing by several days annual taxation proceedings of metropolitan water districts. Of interest to agriculturists and livestock growers are the following bills introduced last week: providing that meat animals once inspected and found free of disease may be sold anywhere in the state without further inspection; permitting the building of dams not more than 15 feet in height and not over 555 acre-fein capacity without approval of the state engineer; making death of livestock on y a railroad a prima facie case for recovery of damages; appropriating $5000 for a Utah exhibit at the World's Poultry Congress in Cleve land, O.; appropriating $20,000 for suppression of pouiltry diseases, creating a first lien In favor of producers upon farm products delivered to processors, and to establish a Utah state fruit tree improvement agency et right-of-wa- Advertising Docs Four Things If you conduct a retail store, there are four things you wish to do (1) You wish to HOLD all of your present customers. safety-progra- Parent-Teach- m THE BEAR RIVER VALLEY LEADER Naacy Byrd Frm Fttrmry Tt-rat-r Good Honsikttf 'mi Mtgazhe night when dark was not yet gone I waked and said, as though the words were given, "But still the dream shines on."

HEARTHSTONE TAXES Back in 1670, or thereabouts, Charles II levied an overburdening tax on hearthstones and stoves, as the result of which droves of peasants found long winter nights almost unbearable. In the warmth and comfort of his home the average American citizen reading about those hearthstone taxes may smile to himself, thinking how far civilization has progressed. A study recently made by the National Consumers Tax Commission, with headquarters in Chicago, will probably shake Mr. Average Citizen's complacency somewhat. NCTC found a modern counterpart in the 37 "hidden taxes," state, local and national which increase his coal bill by 13.7 per cent. When he spends $9 for a ton of coal, only $7.77 goes to the dealer, the railroad, the mine operator and the miners, the balance to tax agencies. like An angel in the room.

Other important measures introduced last week affect the public health, legal transactions, finance, cities and counties, labor, trade, state departments, and the general welfare of the people. Fourteen measures affect cities and counties. Ten have to do with health. Another ten affect legal procedures. Seven affect trade and industry, four social welfare as embodied in old age assistance, un employment, and civil liberties. Six touch upon operation of motor vehicles. Several others relate to state departmental affairs, finance, education, labor, and fish and game matters. One health measure levies a 15 per cent tax on patent medicines and apportions a part of the proceeds to subsidize public health nursing. A traffic safety bill proposes that four warnings by peace officers shall be the equivalent of one conviction for traffic law violation. Another agricultural measure permits inspectors to destroy infected trees and plants. Bitterest fights of the session are expected to be waged over the oc cupational disease and wage and hour standardization measures. Friends of education will strive with might and main to procure more school funds. The bill to permit sale of liquor by the drink will provide another battlefield.
