This tact la evident la the report filed recently with the transportation committee of tho chamber of commerce by. H. W. Prlckett ar manager of tho traffic service bureau of Utah.

' la his report Mr. Prlckett calls attention to the recent reduction la freight on ore.

The United 8tates is one country that has maintained ' Its standard of parte silver to 1 of copper. A MU to reduce the fineness of British silver coinage was passed la Previously, the February, 1120. had Chancellor .of tho Exchequer stated that the change was necessary owing to the unusually high pries of silver bullion, which had tended to drive the subsidiary coinage out of Descirculation Into tho metal pite a rapid and heavy decline in silver during the remaining months of 1220, tho law was pat Into effect, and for the first time since the reign of Queen Elizabeth the fineness of British silver coins were altered. Ths redaction lowered the fineness from 0.I2B to d.600, or about 42 per cent In view of tho natural conservatism of tho British, .this radical change was startling In Its suddenness, nnd many persons hoped that the British government would giro up taking tho step, particularly as every Indication then pointed to lower silver prices. Regardless of the poaalMlity of n continued fall In prjee, however, tho change was made. . jot . . May Abolish Office Office Of District Attorney A measure, which has been Introduced in tho state legislature, seeks to abolish ths office of district attorney. Many people who have given tho matter consideration have reached the conclusion that tho office could vary easily bo dispensed with. At tho time tho office was created many of tho Bounties of the state were without capable legal talent nnd the average county attorney ' of those days was not expected to taka care of tho more Important court matters, hence hs was given ths help qf a district attorney. Conditions have changed, however, and our county attorneys are well able to perform nil of tho work and tha employment of a district attorney simply adds to tho court expense.
