Show MISSES THEMAltK. C h'ncilmax liooth from Provo, deserves a bun with n vigorous young wasp in it. While in an economical frame of mind he drafted draft-ed and introduced a bill which was ostensibly meant to cut down county court expenses. But in his zeal for curtailing expenses be forgets for-gets the people altogether. Among other ridiculous things in the proposed hiw, ho makes it possible that all the probate notices, sherill' sales, delinquent tax lists, etc., of Box Elder County, will have to be published in some obscure paper in any remote part of the Territory which may not circulate one copy in this county.

That would be economy with a vengeance. Box Elder County people want to get the benelit of notices calling for bids on construction of bridge and road work, don't they? Plow many would see the notice in the Beaver paper? bay a special fence election elec-tion in this county was to be held and the notices of the election were all published in an obscure paper down near the Arizona line. It would be simply farcical. Better by far not go to the expense of advertising at all than to advertise injudiciously. injudicious-ly. Kconomy is all right, but if you are to sacrifice the object that you aim to attain to get econoniy.you ; arc pursuing a very short sighted policy. Brother Booth, wake a little up and infuse just a snufi'or two ofgnod, common ' sense into that ridiculous child of j your imagination. I |
