MARCH 3, 1932 CURTAILING EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES cannot find it in our hearts to hamper the children of the future by curtailing their education of today, altho the tax situation in Utah admittedly is a serious problem. administraThe Journal believes that a wise and accounted-fo- r tion of school funds would enable our schools to continue on a plane which should leave them second to none in the nation. A little closer cooperation between the school officials and the is needed and public would give adults a better understanding of what the public out all at understanding followed times, were this plan would be more sympathetic when needs of the school were voiced. Our educators should at all times bear in mind that they are be withheld serving the public, not dominating; that no item should from the public pertaining to public schools or their activities ; and that no activity should be induced in at any time of which the public may not be freely advised. This policy should be adopted by all branches of state office, and such a every person serving under them. Those who cannot adopt policy while holding state, county or municipal office, eventually must make way for those in whom the public may place their trust. We WANTED A PEACE ENGINEER To those following closely the conditions in Europe and Asia these days, it is apparent that a job with the league of nations, or a representative at any of the peace conferences is anything but a desirable position. Japan, in entering Chinese soil, appears to have taken advantage of a psychological occasion such as seldom presents itself, and the program is closely followed out. a Japan recently refused to give United States representatives place on the Geneva conference. Japan and the United States have a number of natural dissentions. Japan has established a substantial war credit in France, as in the United States, and Prance appears to have a sympathetic leaning toward Japan's present military activities. Japan and the United States were allies in the world war. We find Mussolini and Italy casting covetous eyes on the military and political strength of France, In this same cycle, we find Italy showing a definite leaning toward Germany. Italy, once an ally in the world war, now would cultivate a friendship with the nation which only a few years ago endeavored to rule the world, and with which it was at war. Germany, with 65 million population, finally has about determined to pay no further reparations to any of its one time opponents ; Germany has decided it is not satisfied with the boundary lines established under the Versailles treaty. In addition to Italy's frienship, we find several millions of popucountries willing to cast their lot with lation in the Anglo-Saxo- n Germany as a protection against what they believe are injustices foisted upon them by the more powerful nations. Germany also does not now approve of the limitation of arms, limitation of battleships, nor the limitation on aircraft. Further, Germany and Russia fought for the same cause in the world war, and the possibility exists that these two nations still are on a friendly basis, militarily speaking. Now to complete this interesting circle, we have only to determine just where Russia stands. First, is she friendly to Germany? Secondly, is she friendly to Japan 1 Russia recently has been reported as massing her troops in the vicinity of the Manchuiian frontier. She gives as her reason that the White Russians, former friends of the czar, are mobilizing for revolt. These Russians, for years outcasts in the waste lands of Siberia, have little ability to equip or maintain an army of sufficient strength to consider revolt. Why are new Russia's troops mobilizing on the western frontier? The circle runs from Japan to France, thru Italy to Germany and nations, from Germany to Russia, and from Russia the Anglo-Saxoto the present war lines. To cover this one break in the circle we have press dispatches which indicate Russia will adopt a policy of hands off in the present far east rumpus. Strangely enough, the United States and Great Britain appear to have been left outside this interesting little circle, and we wonder why. n PREPARING FOR THE BIG RUSH It has wisely been said that in times of peace one should prepare for war, and by the same token, when business is dull one should prepare for the big rnsh. Things are still more or less quiet, and there are times when clerks and employes have little or nothing to occupy their time to advantage. Plays o u By C. WATT BRANDON I)NG BEACH, Calif.. March 2.

They were angry as hulls at each other. It was the age old quarrel over irrigation water that was the cause of the trouble. Words grew into gestures, gestures into threats, and threats into action. Finally the shovel of one was planted on the head of the other and then there was real trouble. Blood was flowing. A life was at stake. All because one said the other took the water five minutes early, or because the other said one had more than his share. While the argument was going on a flood came down the stream and swept them away. It watered their land and left a deposit of ncn sou to oeneiit luture tillers. The other day two men met at the whittling post. The depression was the subject. One said: "This is never going to end. We have never had one like this before. You may think that next summer is going to be a good one, but I know better." The other contended that other panics of the past had seemed as bad and as endless, and that the future had seemed dark with no help in sight. This was a torch that set off the fireworks. Two good friends began to quarrel and for all we know are quarreling yet. As the flood swept away the farmers, so will prosperity sweep away these ATTRACTS LARGE CROWD "Peptomist" Published By Spring Glen Students Full of Interesting Items From February Issue . o A Judgment o of $120,247.81 was awarded by the seventh district court to the Btate of Utah in Its action against the Carbon Water company for foreclosure of a mortgage executed by the defendant, January 3, 1928. on ditch lines, water, water right and land In Carbon, Emery and San Pete counties.

Farley, district leader of Tammany Hall's keystone unit. The governor said he was not satisfied with Farley's explanation of his income and it was mainly on this ground that he removed him. The income, as charged by Samuel Seabury, counsel to tho legislative committee investigating the city's administration, related primarily to Farley's "wonderful tin box" in which the sheriff deposited $390,000 over a period of a few years.
