WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT Hence, make your plans on the basis of some kind of inflation with a sharply rising cost of living and heavier, taxes. Those of you who live on pesions, annuities bond coupons, and dividends can A SMILE A smile costs nothing, but gives much. It enriches those who receive, without making poorer those who give. It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. None is so rich or mighty that he can get along without it, and is so poor but that he can be made rich by it. A smile creates happiness in the home, fosters Good Will in business, and is the countersign of friendship. It brings rest to the weary, cheer to the protect yourselves somewhat by owning country real estate and cer tain groups of common stocks, householders should now stock in at least a year's supply of utensils, linens, canned goods, etc. Repair jobs should be done Immediately. Prospective should start building or should buy now. Merchants and manufac hirers should keep their inventories built up well ahead. In short, everyone should be hedged afiaiimt the strong possibility of skyrocketing prices! The second important reason why I look for a period of prosperity is the basic trend of business Itself. According to the business today is 76 per cent above the depression low and 20 percent above a year ago. For the first time in fourteen years. It has hit the normal line on the way up. The cycle of consumption and production is swing Ing upward. Trade is better, em . home-owne- discou- raged, sunshine to the sad and it is Nature's best antidote for trouble. Yet, it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is of no value to anyone until it is given away. Some people are too tjired to give you a smile. Give them one of yours, as none needs a smile so much as he who has no more to give.

If they convinced that they can still make profits under changed conditions, the capital goods industries will swing into action again as they have in the past. Take the utility industry for example. It is operating at capacity. Further demand for electric current will force com panies to increase their facilities. The stock market may be jittery and fidgety for a few weeks as in vestors try to size up the President's attitude. Here again, however, fundamentals will decide the course of prices.

The effects of this depends largely upon the con struction of the term "homestead" as taken by the Legislature. One definition and we believe the nrevail- ing definition of homestead is, "A home or homestead is a consolidation of all parcels of property under one ownership." That is if a nerson owned several houses vacant lots, store buildings, farms and etc, all hold ings ot one person would be lumped together and only one exemption be allowed. Another definition would onlv exemnt the home of the owner, the house and out building and the lot if in bpwn, or tne home on the farm in no case would the exemption exceed the allowance made by act of the Legislature. Still another definition exempts only "improvements'' ie buildings not exempting the ground. Still antoher, exempting no home occupied by other tjian the owner. All these constructions are or have been considered and urged. If the first definition is followed Beaver County would lose 26 of its present valuation if the last is used the loss would be only 3 percent. At the present time there are 1133 homes in Beaver County, 500 of which are assessed at $2,000.00 or over, un tnese &w homes the exemption might be over $1,000,000.00 and on the other 633 it might be 500,-00- 0 dollars. The entire valuation of our county is $4,737,000 to take $1,500,000 off would make quite a hole in our valuation and either reduce our school, city and county funds or a substantial increase in our tax levy would have to be made andor other sources of revi-nu- e found and among the new sources now discussed are a substantial increasein mir cWbeing a toV tax on professional services, as Barbers, Dentists. i uvoiuiaiis., oeauiy rariors, newspapers, radios and etc. A tax on tovs Camps! iGO Telephones, fflfffln initr eiery, tobaccos and papers, beer, hank ta VPS lintilifioc taxes, poll tax and increased income tax. ing that should have been defeated and No. 6 carried. No. 6 would have given our legislators $8 00 dol lars per day instead of $4.00 as provided at present. In other words the people of Utah expect their legislators to go up to Salt Lake Citv. pav their room rent and buy their own meals and work long hours per day ior ou aays, lor our Denent, all tor $240.00 Yet we are willing to pay men on relief, with no responsibility more per hour than they get. But, we pay our Congressmen and Senators $10,000.00 per year or $27.40 per day for every day in the year Sundays and holidays included and they don't work any harder or do any more for their constituents than our representatives at Salt Lake City. Numbers 1, 2, and 3, while intended to take the office of State Superintendent of Public Instruction out of politics, a very worthy object, were not clear enough for the voters to approve. Many arguing that it only transferred the field of political activity from one place to another. To our notion the nearest we can possibly come tp taking it out politics would be to follow the California law in regard to the Judiciary. In that state the name of the incumbant judges are the only ones on the ticket and the question voted on is or would be in case of Superitendent of Public Instruction, Shall Charles H. Skidmore be sustained Yes or No. No candidate appearing on the ballot him. n a majority votes yes he retains his olhceagainst for another four years if the majority is no, the State Board of Education recommends some one to the Governor for his appointment, the appointee to hold office until the next general election, at which time the question of sustaining is voted on as before. We also favor taking the Judiciary out of politics by similar methods. Only the appointment of Judges should be made upon the recommendation of the Bar Association. As a step still on this question, provided the above line is not found acceptable, elect our Superintendent of Public Instruction and Judges at a separate election and on tickets, at a time when the voters are not all stirred up over controver-sa- l national and state questions. We believe that questions of this kind are best discussed and planned for a long time in advance of submitting to the voters for their decision.

The snow',-ru- states and thousands of others will soon be established at key points along America's highways," Mr. Fieser stated. The Red Cross highway posts are concentrated at danger apots in rural areas where medical aid is not readily available. The importance of this coverage of the open road, the Red Cross holds, is given sharper emphasis by the fact that there has been a 150 per cent increase in rural traffic fatalities during the past twelve years. The project was Initiated last year on a national scale as a practical approach to the highway accident problem. The Red Cross felt that it could best apply its strength by succoring those who continue to be injured pending a reduction in the highway accident rate through legislation and safety education. "Our program brings first aid skill to the scene of accident in an effort to reduce the number of persons killed and maimed in automobile mishaps," Mr. Fieser said. "Our highway first aiders are not medical men in any sense, but it is their job to turn the injured over to the medical profession in tie best shape possible." The Red Cross highway posts are established at gasoline service stations, tourist homes, rural police and fire departments. The personnel of the posts are trained by tho Red Cross in first aid, standard first aid equipment is installed at each station, and identifying signs for the benefit of motorists are erected beside the highway at both approaches to the station. The attendants of these roadside units who qualify as first aiders volunteer their services through the Red Cross and may under no circumstances accept pay for caring for the injured. To complement the highway first aid stations, the Red Cross has announced formation of mobile units. Several thousand trucks which regularly ply the highway in the course of routine work will be equipped with first aid kits. Drivers and crews will take courses in both standard and advanced first aid. and each truck will be identified as a Red Cross mobile unit. More than a hundred trucks are already operating. "The highway police of eignt states who have finished first aid training will Join this army mobilize i to cut accident fatalities and prevent complication of minor injuries through mishandling at the scene of accident." Mr. Fieser said. "We receive reports from our first aid stations daily, telling of essentia, care given to traffic casualties on the spot and of lives' actually saved." This and many other Red Cross programs of equal value are supported by the people of America during the annual Roll Call tor members. This year the Roll Call will be held from November 11 to 47 2?
