and state as provided by the new law' The party organizations themselves have been perfected some time since also according to the provisions of this law It is logical to presume that there will be some backwardness on the part of the public in taking advantage of the primary law because of unfamiliarity with its operation The national picture this w’eek became most interesting New Deal spokesmen due to the primary elections in Iowa That candihad approved one of the Democratic candidates date lost decisively failing by 3700Q' votes to gain the nomination Some will say that this shows that there is a definite Others will try to swing away from New Deal liberalism However it does show that it really doesn’t mean so much prove a few points It does prove that Newr Deal "endorsement is not all that a candidate needs to wrin his party’s nomination It also should prove the danger to the New Deal of too freely exercising its obvious right to say which candidate it would like to see elected y Mr Hopkins and James Roosevelt both had a perfect right to say they would like to see Mr Wearin defeat Mr Giland But Mr Gillette won the nomination of course lette now if Mr Gillette is elected to the Senate next fall he is not ofapt to be too friendly towards any of President Roosevelt’s Mr Hopkins would have done better to have ficial family about election said the hunch his and followed first nothing Then he would have been in a better position to be friendly with the winner It is said President Roosevelt himself' will speak in Utah There appears little in favor of Senator Thomas next month chance yet that Senator Thomas can lose the nomination this is Utah elsewhere in as the trend fall tho definitely less favorable to many New Deal policies than it has been heretofore Job for Experts Mayor Peery of Ogden spoke the familiar official yes and no in the same sentence when he said no “disorderly” houses were allowed in Ogden and continued by adding that proprietors of such places were arrested and fined like any other law breakers He should have said they are arrested and fined “regularThat is the way such ly” to have spoken the whole truth places are “licensed” inasmuch as the law does not recognize The Weber College sociology class did a their existence good job in calling public attention to the evil The grand jury in Salt Lake county is finding that such places were not only permitted to exist in much the same manner in Salt Lake City but were regularly inspected by the Board of Health The problem is surely one for the experts in social science r t PARAGRAPHS Reporting Idea Disapproved A new plan will have to be evolved by those groups who A large seek a reduction in the number of traffic accidents number of civic clubs had urged the appointment

proposal and vestigation of has not met with success in states where it has been tried they 4 declare J With that plan out of consideration some other way of awakening the public to greater care on the highway must be found if lives are to be safe there This column would like to make some recommendations The newspapers of the state should give front page prominence regularly to short driving hints and suggestions' For several months the Garland Times assisted by Traffic Officer Leonard L Bishop has been carrying on such an activity and The dailies comment indicates that it is being of great value might well use the space they devote to those weather forecasts that never are correct The highway commission should immediately meet with city officials relative to doing away with

should to enter Brigham City at 35 miles per hour be deemed safe while 25 miles is considered proper thru the broad pastures north of Corinne is beyond understanding The 25 mile limit never is observed in such places Disregard for silly 25 mile limit signs leads to disregard of the 50 mile limit signs that In Garland the limi have much to be said in their favor should be set at 35 miles and then enforced The public will never believe any traffic regulations mean anything as long as it justly deems a number of them foolish There also should be a shoTt course in the fundamentals of safe
