THURSDAY, OCT. 2, 1930. No.) FIRE PREVENTION WEEK Governor Issues Proclamation - By a proclamation of the gov-ernor, Utah will observe next week as fire prevention week. The great loll paid in life and property is all too large. It is felt that much of the losses from this cause could be eliminated if more care was exercized oh the part of our citizens and to this end Gov-ernor Dern, on Tuesday, issued the following proclamation to all the citizens of Utah: "Now, therefore, I, George 11. Dern, governor of Utah, do here-by proclaim the week beginning October 5 and ending October 11 as fire prevention week and urge the citizens of the state to take an earnest, active interest in the oc-casion. "I also urge all civic organiza-tions business associations, school authorities, women's clubs and all other bodies interested in public welfare to assist to the best of their ability in furthering the pro-per observance of this week by holding appropriate meetings at1 which the problem of fire pre-vention may be discussed." LEGION INSTALLS OFFICERS Department Officers Visit Bingham Department Commander Ray Olseu and Department Adjutant Otto Wiesley were guesU of the Bingham Post No. 30 at its regu-lar meeting Friday evening.

He also spoke on the activities of the American Legion in this state, of its accomplishments and the need of getting all of the men to join the ranks of the Le-gion. Department Commander Ol-son officiated at the installation of officers. In his remarks he told of the activities of the American Legion both State and National and asked the and support of the post in the dif ferent activities of the depart ment. The Bingham Post No. 30 lias just closed one of the most si years of its existance. Wt feel that the outgoing officers should be commended very highly for the splendid way in which the organization has been handled.

JUNIOR BASEBALL This year Junior Base Ball was continued and the results were very good. The success of this undertaking can be seen through the results obtained. Every day during the summer months, from 100 to 200 boys gathered at the Utah Copper Ball Park and were taught the game by men who understand baso ball. Mr. Santistevn should be com-mended on the splendid manner in which he conducted his work with the boys of Bingham. The people here will have to get be-hind this work more in the fn-- j tiirc than they did this year. We did not receive the support of the people nearly as much as we should have. The boys of the camp need this instructive recreation. We cannot afford to take it away from them now. The members of the post in charge of this work worked hard the past two years to further this activity and we do not want to see it fail now. The Post at its last meeting passed for payment $184.02 in bills outstand-ing from Junior Base Ball this year. This amount the committee were unable to raise due mostly to the failure of the people of Bingham to support this under-taking. Bingham Post No. 30 holds its meetings in the Masonic Hall the 2nd and 4th Fridays of each month. We invite all men in the camp to come out and join the Post. mm miff11 in S ' BEVERLY HILLS, CaX Well all I I know Is just what I read In the scan-- d:il sheets, and what I hold a clinic over as I prowl hither and yon. Well Sir I must tell you more about that mining town of "Rodie," Cal. It was one of the mining camps of later days, but had been practically desert-ed for years, but with the demand for gold here lately there was a revival , of the famous old place. Harry Carr, one of the best newspaper men on this or any other coast, had been up there writing wonderful stories of what It meant to a mining town to be convalescing, and about to reach good health again. He claimed the thing was running almost as wide open as one of our big cities, that the gam-bling and drinking wax in a small way on a comparison with New York or ' Los Angeles. , Well in my times (I am talking like f one of'the early Pionerrs), I have seen some of th) boys foolishly, and at times itherwisi', lay a small wager on the outcome of what later would be apparent as a hazardous game. ' And In passing by I had peeped hi under swinging doors and there would be men sipping various nectars. Well Mr. Rogers and I were just out prowl-ing around.

HAMMOND ON TAXATION Why slioulil property which earns only 23 per cent1 of the in-come, produced in this state pay all of the direct taxes for support of the state, the schools, counties and municipalities!! Tli in is v question placed squarely before the voters of Utah as n result of material re-cently announced by R. E. llani-mon-memher of the state board of equalization. The best data obtainable on the present distribution of the tax burden show clearly that proper-ty in recent years earned only $70,000,000 average annual-ly while the income from persou- - al services amounted to $210,000,-000- . This is based on information compiled from federal reports dealing with statistics of various kinds and was obtained by the Utah board of equalization from Dr. John O. Watsejn, director of the bureau-o-f taxation and statis-tics of the Illinois Agricultural Association. Since Utah operates under the general property tax system all of the $20,000,000 paid annually in direct property taxes for the support of the state and its sub-divisions is obtained from taxing rtrnnertv- - In AflmiJ ttrni.lu 4l.ij fourths of the inconie of the state pays no direct tax for the support i of the schools or the state local I governments. i Furthermore tangible property is carrying 98.6 per cent or almost the whole load while intangibles arc allowed to eseape with the payment of only "about 1.4 per cent. ' In the face of sueli startling in-equalities in the distribution of the tax burden it is no wonder vhat some property has been tax-ed to the breaking point. It is less wonder that ; the taxpayer who has been carrying this load should Want the tax system changed to distribute part of the burden to intangibles or to in-come. If the figures released by Mr. Hammond arc anywhere near correct they still show a condi-tion that is intolerable and one which certainly demands some means of correction. If the pro-posed constitutional amendments will open the way for t!ie legisla-ture to correct this great injustice to tangible property then they should receive a big majority of votes from the honest and fair minded voters of this state when the constitutional amendments arc placed before them next No-vember. STATE FARM BUREAU SUPPORTS AMENDMENT The Utah State Farm Bureau Federation has given its full sup-port and endorsement to the Cit-izens' Tax Revision League in its campaign for lihe tax revision amendments which are coining1 before the people next fall. This action was taken by the board of directors at a meeting held last week. The league is now completely organized and is preparing to have speakers appear before all meetings held throughout the state, at which the purposes of the constitutional amendments can be explained to the people. All groups holding meetings (lur-ing the next several weeks are re-quested to have the subject of tax revision discussed at their meet-ings, and are asked to communi-cate with the league in obtaining speakers. This Week by ARTHUR pRlSBANB How Can We Curb RusciaT ' Why the Red Howler? No Bootleg in Thia ' The Fight Racket Congressman Fort, of New Jorsey, conies from Europe, with a budget of Information and sorrow. All Europe worries about Russian dumping; of wheat, and other things, ds we worry, and Europe, like our-nolv-doesn't see any way of fight-ing the Russian menace. You can say , to Russians: "You shall not sell or buy In our wheat mar-ket." Rut you can't keep Russia from out-tin- g prices In Europe, which mean that our farmers' surplus cannot Mil abroad. Possibly we underestimate Russia, and her ability. The great Agassis, quoted by Dr. Appleton la his "Basis of All Life" said: "Every scientific truth ' passes through three stages. First: men say It is not true. Then, they declare It is hostile to religion. Finally, they say that everyone has always known It" First, our high financial minds said that RusHta's government couldn't last. Then, they said, which was quit true, that Russia war hostile to roll- -' ion. - By and by they may be saying: "Everyone always knew that Russia , was certain to succeed and teach the world things that the world did not know." Other lands, other views. In Miami, David Weinberg, tailor, Interested in Communlstlo Ideas, was kidnapped, tarred, feathered, beaten, ' wrapped In a white hooded cloak, thrown out of an automobile. In Russia forty-eigh- t men, Including high government officials, accused of not sympathizing with Communlstlo Ideals, are taken out and shot dead. They were, accused fa attiring up public discontent by Interfering with food distribution. In one spot you are tarred and feath-ered for talking Communism. In another spot you are shot be-cause you are not Interested In Com-munism. Herbert Spencer Dickey saw In South America a tribe of "pale yel-low" Indians, named the Quaharlbos. And they supplied Information that, he hopes, will help him find a tribe of white Indians next year. . The yellow color Is Interesting, fug-- ' gestlng the alleged Incoming of Ind-'-" "'"' ,""! lans from Asia. Mr. Dickey brings back, among oth-er Interesting animals, a red howler ' monkey, " Why should a monkey be red, why :; should he howl? Was he made that way originally to amuse Adam and Eve? A red howling monkey must have been a welcome entertainment for a couple that had no movies, radio, talking machine or miniature golf-Scien-says natural selection de-- elded the. monkey's color. The red made him hard to see, among the trop-- leal flowers. And he learned to howL more and more wildly, as he dlsoov- - r ered the howling kept away animals ' ' that would eat him. i ,, i ; Usually, when you read that a man has killed his family end himself, you find a paragraph about the bottle of bootleg whisky. In a story from York, Pa., bootleg-ging plays no part. Harry Dietrich, a farmer, hanged himself after killing his wife and four children. In place of the usual whisky bottle, there was a note saying the family must die together, as he could not leave them alone. The farmer's note for 13,800 waa coming due at a local bank the next week, with no money to pay It Mr. Cyrus H. K. Curtla, who Inter-ests himself in everything from Pe-king to Peru and all around back to Philadelphia, discovers that UicAmer-- lean prize fighting business Is' "a ""y racket." He discovers "owning," controlling and exploltlngr the best known fighters. They "fix" the prize fights, and organize fouls, when that seems desirable. However, why argue about prise fighting and its rackets? - - Prize fighting Is In a class with bull baiting, badger drawing, dog and cock fighting, only worse, and should go to Join the others. Joseph Toplltzky, ,of Los Angeles and the whole Pacific Coast, is in New York and tells Easterners that they "cry too much and plan too little." Things on the- - coast are improving. And across the Pacific, in Shanghai, there Is a genuine real estate boom. Chinese that got millions out of China's upheaval, learning that the National City Bank of Shanghai wouldn't even give them one and one-ha-lf per cent on their deposits, decid-ed to buy real estate, and up went prices. . . We are twenty;, pa cent below nor-mal now, average normal, not 1929 normal. We shall recover that to per cent soon, then start going up again. So says Toplltzky, which Is better, as he says, than "crying." Gasoline prices are cut In Britain and Holland.'

HARD GAME IS FORECAST The first league football game will be held Friday when Bing-ham meets the strong Cyprus eleven. The Magna boys have been showing up exceptionally well in practice tilts this fall so they will probably give our boys a stiff battle. Our own squad held its own against the strong West-minster team and downed Lehi 20-- 0. They will be prepared to fight hard for the victory of the important opening game Coach Santisteven has ten lette-r- men back this year. New men are proving to be strong material. There is a good chance that the team, can equal or exell its record of last year when they placed sec-- ond in the district. As yet the cheering squad is not as football conscious as it is for basketball. The students are becoming more enthus'astic how-ever as they learn more about the game. It is expected th.it the en-tire student body as well as many patrons and fans will be in at-tendance for the kickoff at the first season battle Friday. The probable line-u- will be : R. E.

By Bob. Cotter Westminster nosed out Bing-ham Friday, 6 -- .0, in a hard fought game. Both team battled on equal terms until late in the last, quarter, when Pomeroy made a 30-ya- run, but failed to score. The ball was placed on the ten yard line. Bingham's srurdy line held the Parsons to four downs and gave the Miners n of the ball. Smith's at-tempt to punt out of danger was sweared by Lindsey, Westminis-ter end, who fell on the ball for the only touchdown. The Miners earlier in the game tried for a field goal, but it was blocked. Steve Vlasie, Bingham half-bac- k dashed 50 yards around the-end- . in, the second quartet!. Bingham in the second quarter made a strong attempt to score, but the quarter ended before much ground had been gained. j Pomeroy, the Parson's full-back was the king-pi- n for West-minster, he showed great skill in passink kicking and line buck-ing. - Smith, Vlasic and Strelich played well for the losers while Promeroy and Clark starred for the winners.
