VII, Section I, of the Constitution makes the State Superintendent an officer of the State government while Article X, Section 8, states "The general control and supervision of the public school system shall be vested in a State Board of Education." The School Laws of 1933 state that "the State Superintendent shall be charged with the administration of the sys tem of public instruction and with general sur.erintendency of the dis trict schools of the state," but the same law provides that "the general centre I and supervision of the public school system is vested in the State Board of Education." The proposed constitutional would amendments place thi3 responsibility on the State Board of Education. The State Board of Education would in turn select a superintendent of schools to be its chief executive officer. It is believed that a State Board of Education selected in a manner representing all sections of the state (at present by conventions of local school board members within judicial districts) can secure the best possible leadership for the public schools of Utah, free from partisan control and frequent change. This would permit a sound, progressive educational poli cy to be carried forward in the state without interruptions caused by political uncertainties. contradictory spent approximately a survey of our schools Department of Educa-Among the strong recommen-fon- s made was the removal of the L of schools from with in conformity Jtisan politics em ideals and progressive prac-I- n 1934 the Investigating Com ie Superintendent non-partis- an Constitutional Amendments eular class in such uoipurution, io. all its debts and liabilities of every k nd SECTION 2.

I I For-gens- en RECENT BIRTHS JESSES Receiverships - - so is the defection of prominent publicists who were for Mr. Roosevelt in 1932 and are for Mr. Landon now, of whom Walter Lippman is the most prominent. All the polls, though most of them show Roosevelt still leading, show that many voters who were with him in 1932 are against him now. That is natural in that year, the Republican ranks were the thinnest in recent history. But the polls show also that there are some voters who voted for Hoover in 1932 who will vote for Roosevelt this year. So this vastly important "incalculable" is the biggest topic of thought now. It is so important that Frank Kent has written that it is all there is to the campaign that if there are Deal Democrats who enough will switch to Landon he will win; if there are, not, Mr. Roosevelt's reelection is a certainty. anti-Ne- What Price Liquidations? State Bank liquidations under Democratic administration have cost depositors in closed banks approximately $1,000,000, a sum several times the average invested capital of most Utah banks.

The great day, No- -; veniber 3, is just ahead, and the can-- j didates are making: their big drives, the cdito.ial writers are wearing out tveowtiter ribbons the nnll makers ate busy 24 hours a day, and the political analysis are growing haggard seeking to forecast the winner. It has been many a year since political analysis was so difficult or so hazardous. Reason for this is that this vear a great number of what are termed "political incalculables" have arisen. Those incalculables may make past precedents worthless. For example, the old party lines may not have been broken, but they certainly have been badly bent. Outside of the South which is still over whelmingly Democratic, and New England which Is strongly Republican, matters are chaotic in the extreme. It used to be that the Republican candidate, even In close elections, could count on the far western states, with almost absolute certainty. Today the Pacific Coast states, along with several bordering states, are generally conceded to Mr. Roosevelt by unprejudiced observers. It also used to be that Democratic candidates dismissing campaigns, such as those of 1920 and 1924, in which the Republicans had the election cinched even before the nomina-atio- n could count on carrying some of the big seaboard industrial states. Today most polls show Roosevelt trailing in such state, some think that he has a better chance to carry Pennsylvania, which has not cast its vote for a Democrat in generations, than New York or New Jersey. Both Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Landon are seeking to appeal to voters in all camps, are trying to make their camas possible so paigns as e as far party divisions are concerned. That is also true of the platforms the old Democratic plea for states' rights, etc., has been pretty well dropped, and the Republicans, who once stood for more centralized government, are now standing for less centralized government. One of the biggest "incalculables" is, How many voters have shifted their party allegiance in the last few years? In 1932 a number of leading Republicans deserted Hoover and came .out for Roosevelt and Hoover took one of the worst beatings in history. In 1936, a number of leading Democrats have deserted Roosevelt and came out for Landon and everyone is speculating as to how many followers they can turn against the New Deal. Most aggressive Democratic Dealer is Al Smith it is felt in some quarters that his speeches denouncing the Administration may shift a number of votes. Reed is another Democrat whose speeches opposing Roosevelt are more bitter even than those of the Republicans. A considerable list of other Democrats who are following suit could be made. On the other hand, not all of the conservative Democrats have left the New Deal. Senator Glass, who is a national big a figure as we have in that announced politics, today, has he will support Roosevelt, even Adminthough he is opposed to most feels He Reasons: istration policies. that if Roosevelt is reelected, Democratic Senators will reassert their independence, will not have to uncritbeically obey White House orders, cause the President cannot run again. Another Jeffersonian Democrat who will speak for the President is Secretary of State Hull, a cabinet member who has constantly grown in prestige ever since his appointment. However, it is beyond argument e Demothat the defection of crats from New Deal ranks is worryis the ing the heads of the party. So newse Democratic defection of papers, such as the Baltimore Sun and the St. Louis Post Dispatch. And PAGE . -- Tir'- -- - fl j r , ii. iiiiim uh mlliiiiiiiiii'iiiri.H |
