He agrees that the problems of taxation have reached a serious stage and that the public now will have to curb its extrava gance and insist on rigid economy, for after all. the commissioners and other officers spend the tax money with the approval of the public Public officials, says Mr. Leger, usually follow the lines of least re sistance and that line is the spend meets ing of tax money where its the of the of majority ipproval people. Country Koad Mad The country of recent years, with the development of the automobile, has developed a perfect mania for unnecessarily good high ways, he stated. More and better roads, fewer and lesser hills with high-gea- r grades are the demands. has Democracy slowly but surely been eating itself out thru unbridled tendencies, and the time has arrived when the public must insist on absolute economy or suffer bankruptcy. Carbon Day October 5 At Fair Wednesday, October 5, has been selected as Carbon county day at the 54 th Utah state fair in Salt Lake City, Oct. 1 to 8, when all atcounty residents are urged to tend the annual festival on that day.

For the state legislature, John Redd of Price received the nomination for the upper house, with Robert W. Crockett and R. C. Jones, both of Price, being nominated for the lower house. A contest developed between Attorney Thorit Hatch of Helper and Attorney Horsley of Price for the nomination as county attorney, with the latter receiving 54 votes as against 27 for the former. Endorse Platforms The state and national republican party platforms were endorsed at the county convention and state representatives were pledged to work for lower taxation and to encourage the use of Utah produced fuel in all state buildings.; the imposition of a just tax on natural gas produced out of the state and brought into Utah, and reduction of state and local expenditures. The platform also stood for a reduction of deputies employed in county offices, reduction in salaries of officers, just distribution of employment, creation of work for the unemployed, use of manpower in place of machinery on road work, employment of local workmen in Carbon county industrial enterprises and on state road work, and the betterment of our school facilities. Congressman Don B. Colton was present to address the gathering, and supplementary remarks were made by A. E.

It is believed the proceeds from this game will aid materially in balancing their budget if a good turnout is enjoyed, and the public is asked to attend. The game will be plenty fast and snappy and will be well worth the time and modest admission fee of 40 cents.

Determination was apparent in the fact that had he stood erect he could not have strangled. Yamase, who went to work for the Spring Canyon Coal company in 1924, suffered a broken leg about a year ago which had not made satisfactory progress in healing, and it was believed he had been somewhat despondent over his condition. About two weeks d ago he was found in a and half conscious condition irri his room and Company Physician G. Y. Anderson who attended him gave it as his opinion that an attempt at suicide had been made. His poor health apparently had left him in a dazed mental condition, and when he failed to answer the call to supper Tuesday evening: one of the men at the boarding-houscrawled out on a porch roof and peered thru the window to see him hanging by the cord.

Watt Brandon in While Cheyenne the other day I was impressed with the marvels which are being worked in the airplane service, where a dozen planes are scheduled in and out of the Boeing field each day, with from six to 12 other planes passing thru. Employment is given to 250 men on this field, where shops are maintained to do any work which may be required in repairs. Large army and navy planes crossing country follow mostly the transcontinental line thru Cheyenne. Large cabin planes with capacity and room for 1500 pounds of mail are mostly used. These planes each carry a nurse and meals can be served in the air. The leather upholstered chairs are reclining and passengers are at ease during the trip. These planes leaving Cheyenne at 9:40 in the evening land their passengers in Chicago at 6:30 a.m. and if one desired to go on to Washington he could be landed there at 4 p. m. Passengers desiring to spend the day in Chicago can leave there in the evening and arrive back in Cheyenne at 6:30 the next morning, necessitating only one day from business if it is a rush trip. I learned further the cost of airplane travel is about equal to that of passenger trains when meals and berth are computed. With new safety appliances for flying being constantly installed, the risk of airplane travel is being minimized. Recently there was established along this flying route a device which guides the plane by radio energy. The pilot or radio man who is constantly in touch with the last port and the next point of landing has his position in a cockpit where it is impossible for him to see earthward or otherwise. With his ear phones he guides the plane straight over the course. These radio currents border the flying line on each side about a quarter mile apart. Should the plane touch the left border of the flying way his ear is greeted by a series of dots which prompts him to steer more to the right. When the right line is approached he is greeted by the signal "dot dash" in the morse code, which signal is considered a most important protection in airplane travel. Another new device for level flying mounted directly in front of the pilot acts to the plane as a level does to a builder. Should the plane tilt in its course or incline up or down, this instrument records is perfectly, making level flying at any altitude possible. Engines Regularly Serviced I was further advised that no engine in the Boeing service is used for more than 100 consecutive hours. It Js then taken out and given a thoro overhauling, and before it again is placed in service in the plane is given ten hours regular running in the shops to prove its condition. As these large planes pull into an airport 12 to 15 men, each with a certain duty to perform, swarm Dver the plane, making a most careful inspection of every part, a record being kept of the report of each man, to insure its being in perfect condition before another ascent is made. These are but a few of the many safety appliances and precautions which are making airplane travel more safe for those who fly in the battle against time. Well lighted emergency and scheduled landing fields are maintained for night flying, making it possible for a plane in distress to reach a landing field within a short time. Toilets and lavatories are maintained in these cabin planes. i f. ' tri ;y Events KTAU STATE FAIR oct.i a |
