King, however. Is a valuable man for Utah to have la the senate. The constant attention of Smoot o governmental affairs Is, In a very large measure, responsible for the reduction of taxes throughout the nation, and It Is an open secret In Washington that the President, Secretary Mellon and Reed Smoot are often In concultatlon as to the he-.- t plan of handling the finances of nu Not only Is Smoct an government. authority on questions of finance, but he also Is ever watchful of Uncle Sam s purse strings, and many ol lh' measures that he has sponsored have result) d in the saving to the government of million of dollars.

The ouo thing to be remembered throughout all political struggles Is that good, honest, efficient officers is what we want.
