Utah UTAH STATE PtftSS THE- - ASSOCIATION EVERY WEEK 'NO ACCIDENT WEEK" IN HELPER It's time for action! Traffic Action in Helper! For several months there have been installed three caution lights on three of the busiest intersections in Helper. These lights were installed for one purpose; to create a sense of cautious driving on the part of drivers of motor venules and a greater degree of safety for the pedestrian who. in his daily routine, finds it necessary to cross from one side of the street to the other. Have they fulfilled their purpose? We'll let Mr. Citizen answer this question. According to a recent newspaper article In the Salt Lake Tribune, Utah ranks first in the seven western states in automobile fatalities during the first part of this year. There must be a reason for this. It couldn't be that our streets and highways are not comparable to other states, or that our automobiles and trucks are less modern. Maybe it's because our drivers and pedestrians take too many chances .However, it is not the intent of this editorial to solve the problem, it's too great. A very vivid example of how drivers of cars from some of our neighboring states have become conscious of traffic signals happened on Helper's main street last Saturday: This writer and one of our local business men were conversing in a close proximity of the caution light on Hill and Main streets, when a car, carrying a Texas license plate approached the intersction just aa three children started across in the pedestrian lane. The driver of the car applied his brakes evenly and easily came to an absolute stop, allowing the children to cross without becoming frightened. Within an hour a Kansas car had duplicated the safe deed of the Texans. Later in the day a Colorado tourist, upon sighting the two lights on main street, heeded their purpose by slowing down while passing through each intersction. ' Mayor Spratling and the Helper city council have announced that hereafter automobile drivers and pedestrians who are found guilty of violating any of the city's or state's traffic laws will be hauled Into the city court and punished to the fullest extent of the law. Drivers of motor vehicles are warned and urged to heed the city's speed and parking laws. Slow down to 23 miles an hour while driving through town; park between the yellow parking lines; watch caution lights and beware of pedestrians. A similar warning is issued to the pedestrian who deliberately s and dares car and truck drivers; he too will be dealt with accordingly. The city 'dads' have issued strict orders to the city police force to start a "ticket issuing" campaign to traffic violators: and to the city Judges to penalize Mr. Traffic Violator to heavy fines or jail By Howard C.

They shout "bargains, bargains,, effect cheap, cheap," until it seems the words have the psychological a little common sense applied to the situation would show there is no or making people think they are getting something for nothing, when reason at all for supposing that they can sell an article for less than it is ordinarily sold on the public market. Nor do they sell cheaper, but they talk cheaper, that is all. It may not seem very important to some people if merchandising should be centralized in a few of the big cities, and the home town merchant disappear for lack of trade. But a glance at the local tax lists wlil reveal what it would mean in loss of taxes to the local community to say nothing of the loss of improvements and the decay of the town. But outside of all the drawbacks to a locality from loss of trade and the shifting of the benefits of trade and business to big congested centers, there is another even more important fact to be considered. And that is the possibility of a retail trust organized and controlled by the mail order concerns. All they need to do to. control merchandising is to get control of 33 per cent of the retail trade. Once that is accomplished, they can absolutely monopolize the retail business of the country and fix the prices of merchandise, for they will be able to control the manufacture and output of goods. They can then offer inducements to the manufacturer that will shut out the marketing of their goods except through the monopoly. So that is another strong point in favor of patronizing home trade. If you send your money out of town you are not only depriving yourself ad your community of further use of your money, but you are aiding in the establishment of a retail monopoly that can and will fix the price of goods once they get control. As an opponent of monopoly and the filching of large sums out of the people by organized greed, we feel that we must oppose anything that leads to the organization of such things that are dangerous to the interests of the people.
