The scholarship awards mark the first operation of the Newell fund since Stanford received the bequests In 1928. The fund was established In the will of the late Henry Newell, Salt Lake mining man, who died June I, 1928, and requeathed the California university the bulk of the $450,000 estate. Distribution of the scholarships was baited In October, 1929, when the will was contested In behalf of a grandson, Wiliam H. Newell Jr. who claimed a half Interest In the estate. The will was declared Invalid af. ter a Third district court trial before Judge David W. Moffat, but the decision later was reversed by the supreme court, after which a settlement was reached whereby the university was able to operate the scholarships. The scholarship awards are restricted to Utah students attending Standford university, and the following recipients were announced: William F, Ashton, Wayne L. Bennion, Virginia C. Johnson, Louis Gates Knight and Jack P. Logan, students from Salt Lake; Wesley T. Benson and Hazen J. Conhy, Logan; Eldon Dennis, Provo; Janus J. Finch, Spanish Fork; Ambrose Pond Merrill Jr., Ogden; V civic E. Kartchner, registered from Palo Alto, Cal.; Don A. Gardner, registered from San Francisco, and R. Gam Webb, unlisted. Vicki Baum play would have much to commend It as an outstanding 'pic. ture. Sets Unusually Lavish But, in addition to the magnificent characterizations, It has the superb mounting of imposing sets, splendid photography and admirable direction by Edmund Goulding, Goulding missed nothing in hts consuming desire to bring Grand Hotel" to the screen as a vividly symbolic human document. The film version cannot be called a mere copy of the stage play. It Is vastly more than that, In fact, It Is a combination of the original novel and the best that the theatre piece contained. It moves swiftly and permits an unlimited scope of action, yet it never goes outside the hotel in which the entire story Is unfolded. No one can afford to miss this great film. It will stand, In this reviewers opinion, alone for many seasons. Term Most of tlie people we know would like to pay the piper on tbe Install ment plan. London Humorist ' Thirteen Utah Gak worthy Noted, British Author, Dies John Galsworthy, one of the greatest of the contemporary English men of letters, died at his home In Hampstead, Wednesday. For the last week he had been in grave condition from anemia, which followed a severe cold con. traded a month ago. He was 65 years old. London Mr. Galsworthy's physical condition made It Impossible for him to go to Stockholm last November to receive in person the 1932 Nobel prize for literature. Friends initiated a movement to give his body a final resting place in Westminster Abbey, Britains hall of fame. Relatives and two old servants were at the beside when he died. In accordance with his wish, the windows of his room were left unshuttered. Best known for his Forsyte Sanovelist and dramatist once said that Literature ga, the eminent F.r the Information of some ol our readers ho have made inquiry as to how stamped scrip operates In other section of this and foreign countries, we have an article at hand prepared by Prof. Irving Fisher of New Haven. Connecticut. The articles follow: There are two types of stamped scrip in use. (1) The Hawarden type (as used In Hswarden, Iowa) which calls for the affixing of a stamp each time a bill passes from one holder to another, and (2 the Wars type (as used In Germany and Austria), advocated by Professor Inrlnfr Fisher, which calls for the affixing of a stamp on a certain day, once weekly. In both cases 52 two cent stamps have to be affixed to a $1 bill. The main advantage of the last named, the definite or weekly" stamped scrip, Is that It penalL zes hoarding. To escape this penalty people want to get rid of their scrip quickly, and thus a rapid pace of its circulation is effected. On the other hand, the Hawarden plan acts like a penalty on circulation. Each time a bill is spent it costs the purchaser as well as the recipient, since both have to affix stamps to get rid of their bills. Thus the pace of circulation is retarded by stamping. Stamping acts like a brake on the use of this scrip. It is well known that one of the causes of the fall of priv , Is the hoarding of money, and slow circulation. If a tax burden is put upon the one who passes his scrip, instead upon the one who hoards It, we lose the best advantage of the stamping feature under the play for "weekly stamping. There Is another point. In a very small town, such as Hawarden there Is more local patriotism, and a greater responsibility of one it-- ...and then citizen to another, than In a larger town. Tims, while in that small town people may be enough to affix stamps voluntarily, they will not do It as readily In a bigger town. Evasion Is possible In any case. Scrip will be accepted from friends without previous stamping, and passed on to friends without affixing a stamp affixed. Poor poo. pie particularly will try to evade the stamp tax, and It can be expected that just this class will use stamped scrip more than any oilier. be installed us Iron Fireman I I AUTOMATIC COAL V H K TIME WAS when this fellow never knew the joy of sitting down for a whole evening in peace with his psper.

At the age of 23 he was admitted to the bar, but left the profession shortly thereafter and turned to writing. traveled extensively Galsworthy after he decided upon a literary career. He learned to write, to his own confession, by unlearning everything else. published his first Galsworthy novel, "Jocelyn," in 1898, under the pseudonym of John Sinjohn. This was followed two years later by The Villa Rubein, a volume of stones. He did not attract general attention, however, until 1904, when The Island Pharisees appeared. This was the first of a series of novels that dealt almost entirely with problems of the social world.

Snell expressed the view that 10 would be better ' to discuss economic problems first with Great Britain and other debtor nations before making any settlement on war debts. Should the debt question be settled first, he said, there would be less hope of gaining economic agreements satisfactory to the United States. Sources informed of Mr. Hoovers thought said yesterday the chief executive felt stabilization cf currencies depreciated foreign would aid in a solution of the economic tangle. The president was reported to feel also that unless some action was taken to stablize foreign it might be necessary for the United States to enter the European race to raise tariffs. To Snell, Mr. Hoover expressed his pleasure" at the action taken by a caucus of the House late yesterday, at Republicans which a resolution was adopted favoring action to make the tariff more effective. be made. The combined bill removes the provision of the Lafollette-Cuttin- g bill that the chief of the children's bureau shall be the executive officer of the board and substitutes authority for the board to select Its own executive officer.

It was truly Smithfield's day in court, lie came in on the partys pledge for a new deal and to Take special care of the forgotten man. The pledge carried local, state, and national confirmation, and that moto our favorite sou assured us would be recommended, and that he would see to it expenses including his own salary would he cut 25 per cent and that he would use his influence toward having all county salaries and other outlays brought down to a minimum. And we farmers, home owners, professional men, merchants and laymen who are taxpayers, are remembering, cherishing and expecting the fulfillment of those pledges. We will stand for no other "We will tolerate no Commissioners or the taking another mans arrangements job who needs it. OUR CRUSHING INDEBTEDNESS back-slidin- g. Allow me to call the taxpayers attention to our countys indebtedness when you will undoubtedly concur in the need of immediate and most drastic economy, and conclude when public officers are not willing to concede the need of their own personal sacrifices they are out of place, and a halt should be called. Men from this county a year and a half ago called our Governors attention to the fact that we were travelling too fast. He doubted our findings. Later the truth dawned upon him, smd now the State is being bonded for an additional $2,000,000 to make up for our extravagance of 1930, 1931 and 1932. Our own County is bonded for $360,000; our County schools for $275,000 plus their deficit of $24,618 making a total of $659,618. To the above add Logan City and Logan City School bonds and you have a total indebtedness of bonded indebtedness on the people of this County. Will anyone look over and consider those figures and not realize that economy must be the watchword or there is danger ahead. 90 OF ALL TAXES SPENT HERE Let it be dearly understood that 90 per cent of all taxes collected in counties are spent in those counties. Ten per cent is forwarded to the State Capital to remain there for their state indebtedness. It follows that if there is to be a tax reduction in this County, we ourselves must make it. And how? We have four taxing units Cache County proper is one; Cache County Schools another; Logan City the third: and Logan City Schools the fourth. The Assessor places the valuation upon our property and each of the above taxing units decide on their needed levy to carry on these respective departments through the year. It follows if a reduction is to be had it must start with the Assessor that valuations may be placed commensurate with the present values of the property. During the last three years this has not been done but the taxpayers must insist upon it this year. Then the four taxing units must seriously consider their requirements and make them as low as it is possible; make them commensurate with property valuations and the property owners ability to pay. If the Assessor and these taxing units fail to take into consideration conditions as they now are, there will be less property owners meet the tax demand upon them than last year when only 65 per cent of property owners less utilities met their tax obligations. Logan City as a municipality have cut their salaries equal to $1,000 per month which is $12,000 for the year. hile this may be a hardship on them, it is indeed complimentary to Logan Commission and those working with them. It makes it clear to the taxpayers that they are willing to join in the depression with those who pay the bill. Let the County officers fall in line and they will be remembered longer. It is said the Deputy Assessors have all been cut 25 per cent. Let the same unselfishness come right back to those who did the cutting. A SALES TAX AND INCOME The present legislature is grappling with a sales tax and endeavoring to correct the present state income tax. Should their efforts prevail, it may relieve our property tax burden somewhat. While it is doing this, the other pocket will be drained through the sales tax, and it may not relieve us as much as it is hoped. However, it will be a change, and as it was when the amendments were offered us two years ago, many grabbed at them concluding that any kind of a change ymld be better than what we had. It proved to be a fallacy, and has added burdens upon the poor man instead of relief. All wiil agree that our Ship of State is sailing upon a stormy sea, the waves are high and the shore is far from view. It behooves us to watch the compass carefully or we will find ourselves landed far afield from a place of safety, and perchance may land upon the rocks. The writer is informed that there is 4200 papers of this issue distributed throughout the county which should mean not less than 12,600 readers, 3 to a family. 400 will go to YV Smithfield. Anyone who disagrees with statements made in this article, who is not a public servant, or a relative will kindly telephone or send me a card stating his objections and we will take his view under advisement. THE CONVENTION OF 1934 Even political pledges now days pertaining to the temporal salvation of the people are sacred things. They must be kept, or the taxpayers will rise up and demand justice as they are doing in Iowa and Ohio. When our boys promise their way mto office and fail to remember those pledges their names will not be spoken out loud in the convention of 1934. Silently the word will go the rounds, He has been weighed in the balance and found wanting. And another will sit on his throne. Because others would not join him in the right will not satisfy.
