Mehtodlst Church last Friday evening. The outstanding, event of the evening if was the presentation of five Eagle Scout Badges to the following mem-bers of the Troop : Boyd Nerdln, Hugh Huebner, Howard Smith, Delmar Berg, and Elmer Shafter. This is the highest rank in Scout-ing and it is very unusual for any Troop to receive as many of these awards at one time. The awards are made from National Head-quarters and are accompanied by a letter from James E. West, Nation-al Scout Executive and a few pam-phlets that are of particular inter-est to Eagle Scouts. Other boys to receive awards were Maurice Thompson, Tender-foot nnd Douglas Plnus and John Shafter, Second Class Badges. The history of Troop 111 and some of the incidents connected with the founding of this troop, the first In the Bingham District, was ? given by Wm. Grant, one of I he charter members. The Troop was also presented with awards from Salt Lake Coun-cil for proficiency and from the Bingham Post of the American Le-gion for winning the local Scout Basketball Tournament. Scout talks were made by the Scoutmaster, Taul Ransome and the Chairman of the Troop Com-mittee, Mr. J. K Myers. The dinner was served by the ladies of the Community Church. ST. PATRICK DAY The outstanding feature of the week was the Elk's annual charity ball held at the Green Gardens luHt Tuesday eve. , A number of visitors from the Suit Lake Elka' lodge and also from the Magna-Garflel- d Antler's asso-elatio- n attended the affair. The hall was filled with revelers dancing to the strains of the Span-- 1 lsh Syneopaters, until long after the midnight hour. The success of the dance was be-yond question. The committee In charge are due much credit for conducting a dunce In a most cred-Ituhl- e manner and making of It the success it proved to be. Schools and Police Do Magnificent Work The nation's schools, aided by lHllce departments and other organ-izations, have done a magnificent work in educating chlldreu in acci-dent prevention. In 1022, according to Albert W. Whitney of the National Bureau of Casualty and Surety Underwriters, 67,912 adults were killed in acci-dents In the United States. In 1928, 7d,47tt were killed an Increase of 32 er cent. In contrast to this, 18iW child-ren died through accident In U)22 with a slight Increase In the two years following. Since then, the rate has gone steadily downward, with the result thut if child deaths had Increased at the same rate as adults, 11,000 more children would be killed each year than Is now the case. In other words, safety work Is now saving the lives of 6,000 children annually. The query naturally arises as to why adults who are as suscept-ible to instruction as children would show steady increases in the accident rate. Hazards naturally Increase as the world grows more complicated but they Increase just ns much for children. The rea-son for the discrepancy is that udults lack the educational environ-ment of the children. Just how the problem will be solved Is difficult to say, but, as Mr. Whitney points out, it good to recognize Its Imminence and serious-ness. And the pessimism caused by our general accident records is par-tially alleviated by n survey of the magnificent educational work done among school children a work thut cannot be measured In terfs of dol-lars. ST. PATRICK'S PARTY A.St. Patrick's party was given at the Highland Boy Community House by the Girl Scouts on Thurs-day evening, March 12, at 7 p. m. There were twenty-si- x present Each Girl Scout inviting a boy friend ns their guest for the even-ing. The tables were decorated In green, white and pink. All kinds of games were played in the gymnasium room. A prize was awarded to the, one who could make themost words out of the name of St. Patrick. Steve Puzell won the prlae for having fifty-thre- e words. A short stunt was given by the Girl Scouts which as entitled, "The Girl Scout's Duty." Anna Badoveiutz, who is patrol leader of ;Vo. 1, had'eharge of the program. Viola Stanega, who is patrol leader No. 2, had charge of the re-freshments. After nn hour and a hnlf of games, light refreshments were served which consisted of sandwich-es, cookies jello and lemonade. Fortunes aifci Jokes were told, also songs were sung, while all were seated' at the tables. All expressed themselves ns hav-ing had a delightful time. In the near future a pageant "The Girl Scouts Hope Chest" will be given by the Girl Scouts nt the Highland Boy Com-munity House for the purpose of rasing money for the Troop. Mrs. Jessie Trevnthen, Chair-man, Mrs. Myrtle Thomas and Mrs. Florence Robertson are the Troop Committee who have taken over the sponsorship of the Girl Scouts at Highland Boy. Levi Edgar Young Speaks To Kiwanians The American Indian was the sub-ject of an address by Dr. Levi Ed-gar Young before the lust meeting of Bingham Klwanls, March 12. In his own most interesting manner, Dr. Young, showed that this race had a culture in literature and drama comparable to some of the best things tlia thave !een produc-ed In modern times. It seems hardly credible tha tthls should be true, but as Dr. Young pointed out, the Indian, as he was found here by the whites, was In all probability In the same stage of civilization ns were the races and tribes of men who produced our Bible and taking this fact into consideration it is not at all unreasonable to presume that the Indian would be capable of pro-ducing similar works. He also pointed out the fact that many men among this race have been leaders of thought and action comparable In every way to our own figures of history. As examples of these he referred to Mussassoit, Hiawatha, King Philip, Geronimo, Sluing Bull, etc., as personages as great among their peoples as Wash-ington, Lincoln, or Roosevelt have, been to us. This talk certainly gave an iuter-- J eted audience an ew insight and ; oint of view regarding the red man whom we all are much too prone to set aside as of no particular im-portance. Miss Florence Dojigall and Mr. diet Hlrsch with Mrs. Jensen as accompanist gave an excel lien t mu-sicl-program and later In the ev-ening Mr. Gayiord Sanford Presi-dent of the Pocatello Club and Mr. Cliff Rudlne, President of the Salt iLake City Club blew In with the Fiddlers Four, four lovely young ladies from Pocatello who are to represent the Utah Idaho District at lite Kiwanls International Con-vention at Miami, Florida, this spring. This topped off a very, splendid program in great shape, all arranged by Bob Goodwin,-- the little Klwanlan, with a big voice. Art Cook's jazg band furnished the music for dancing afterwards and the lights were on long after the curfew had rung. Oh, Yes, for-got to mention, but it was ladies' night. M. L A. PLAY A SUCCESS Very creditable was the perform-ance of the principals in the L. D. S. M. I. A. play "And Home Came Ted," which was given at the church last Monday and Tuesday nights. The play was Interesting as well as amusing and held the In-terest of the audience throughout.

Tom McCnnu and Cal-vin IUH were sedected on the leag-ue's first All Star Team, while Geo. Dahlstrom nnd Kenneth Fullmer were pluced on the second team, Coach Porter took seven "Blue Diamonds," Hall, G.

Magna Legion uiwet the strong Armour Creamery of l'ocalello, Id-aho, 80-2- The second night the Cms Ser-vice downed Magna 20 23 in a thrilling battle, both (corns scoring eleven field goals.

C. 21-3- 0 but went down fighting, their lote rally fall-ing short. Saturday, the oversized D. and R. G. W. team barely nosed out the locals 41-3- 7 in a bard game, giving the Crus Service fourth po-sition in the Intermountain.

During 3030, his total tax bill was in excess of $1,000,000,000. Of this, license fees accounted for $375,000,000 ; city taxes, and personal property lev-ies, $130,000,000. As is natural, the gasoline tux was the gargantua among the items, with a total of $515,K),000. These slulistics show vividly why motor owners are beginning to grow rebellious when further gas tax increases a favorite sport of legislatures are proposed. The old crack about working a willing horse to death apMy describes the situation, The car owner may see the Justice In contributing largely to the cost of the roads he uses but when his money is spent for other purposes he justly wonders whnt It is all about The principle of equality of taxation is shattered against the gas tax. States which have adopted five and six cent tax rates may find that the automobile owner will not always be quiescent when his pock-et book is unfairly tampered with. The gas tax has become a legislat-ive mania. We neeed a return to normalcy. THE RUNAWAY TAX COLLECTOR It begins to look as If taxpaylng Americans will have their hands full during the next year or so try-ing to keep taxes from getting bey-ond all limits. In many states measures have been passed whose Inevitable effect must be too place a greater burden on businesses, property owners, workers. Levies have been shifted from one type of property to anoth-er on the supposition that this constitutes tax relief. New and al-most unknown forms of taxes state income taxes, intangible taxes, etc. have come into being. Too many public officials are seeking more funds to sis-n- d ; too few are seeking ways to lower cosl of government. It Is about time our citizens took affairs in their own hands and said, Whon!" to the runaway tax collect-or. j Comment Utah Legislation I The Chiropody bill passed. You I .o-.j.-n Jinvp yonr poms removed 1 legally. The Antlnepottsm bill is commendable. We don't see any harm In display-ing the flag at lulling places on election days. It 1b estimated the law Increas-ing the speed of automobiles to 45 ndles per llmr lessen law vio-lations by 200,000 per day. If there is 300,000 drivers perhaps two thirds of them will be willing to keep within the limit of the new law. The Miners Hospitalization bill with Jefferson and Ryan( Is a commendable piece of leg-islation. The income from aproxl-matel- y 05,000 dollars as now avail-able for maintenance purposes. The Mosquito abatement bill is a timely piece of legislation. With all the scratching citizens will have to do to raise the 57 varlties of new taxes, no time will be left to make war oft these pests. 8. B. 43 Chiropractors may praq-tlc-e before stuff, industrial pomml sipi!, is the caption of one MU pas-sed, according to the reports. We don't quite get that one but If they must practice, perhaps that is as good a place as anywhere. , After nil the years" of talk about taxing intangibles the legislature passed a law exempting them, Wha tis needde is an aircraft bill making It possible for our lawmak-- v ers to land within sixty days. (After expending $80,000 and two lawyers for four years to codify the Utah Statutes, $2ftt-OO- n more w? approbated. wU di-rections to employ only ope lawyer. Hpw can they expect one lawyer . fo agree wlh himself in two years "T when It took two lawyer four , years to disagree. Theen there's the "Milk Bottle" bill. Anyway representatives of the people had the time of their lives for sixtyone days. PEGGY AND PAT AND MUSIC "My canary has circles under his eyes."

Both in home and industry, gas use Is on tbe Increase. This is par-tially because of its economy and efficiency largely because If its cleanliness and smokelessness. Tbe great cities of the future, through gas, will be freed of 'the smoke ev-il that now is damaging to prop-erty and to plant and animal life. COPPER COMING BACK ' There are signs on the horl7on of improvement in the coper Indus-try. This is the natural result of sim-ulated building and Industrial ac-tivity. There Is nothing m the lux-ury about copper it Is vitally es-sential to progress in a thousand fields of endeavor. The electric, gas, railroad, automobile a multitude of great industries, in addition to bonie-buikler- present a steady and growing demand for copper. The ray of light now shining through tbe metal gloom should prove a glad tiding to those states in which mining is a leading try.
