Difference Found "In a survey of the counties in Utah we found that there is a wide difference in the cost of local governments. Most of the counties dont know what property they own or just where it is located because of the amount that is listed as under hen for taxation. We found that the amount varies from 54 per cent of the assessed valuation of the property in Duchesne county coming under this division to less than nine per cent in Box Elder county. He cited the latter county as being in the most, favorable condition of any in the state as far as debt is concerned, with Morgan, Weber and Wayne coming well to the fore in the list of counties with little or no debt. He observed that the counties with little debt were mostly those that are largely supported by corporations or utilities, or both. Debt Reduced "Since 1923 the bonded debt of the majority of counties has been consistently reduced but the mill levies have definitely gone upward. This has been necessary to compensate for the decrease in valuation of property and the raptaxes of delinquent id increase Mr. Hull during that period, 1934 of pointed out. At the end delinquent taxes amounted to in this state. The school districts of the state, he said, are in about as favorable a financial condition as the counties, but the cities, as a whole, have just about gone to the limit of their maximum debt allowance or 75 per cent of the assessed valuation of the property in the cities is under debt.

The New Deal, its .iluhMidiy. problems and the part it has played in education, were given scientific analysis before Utahs learned men at the opening session of the autumn meeting of the Utah Academy of Sciem es. Arts and Letters held Friday night at the Commons building of the Utah The State Agricultural college in a hu h the women's lounge meeting was held was completely filled with scholars and educators who listened attentively to lectures given by Dr. E. E. Erickson and Dr. John T. Wahlquist of the University of Utah and to Professor Milton R. Merrill of the Utah State Agricultural college. Interest High The great interest in the papers was evidenced in the response to the discussion that followed. In an attempt to understand the philosophy of the New Deal, the subject which he had been assigned, Dr. Erickson outlined its origin. development and the actual functions of the process itself. Referring to studies made on the origin of the New Deal, Dr. Erickson cited writers who have traced the origin of the New Deal to the U. S. Chamber of Commerce and the American Federation of Labor and others who maintain it originated with Herbert Hoover and the Republican party. From the confusion, Dr. Erickson concluded that the New Deal has grown out the situation of the country itself; a situation that has concerned the expeople of the entire nation. He Repressed the belief that if the publican party should gain control they would continue the principles of the New Deal. Names Characteristics Three distinctive elements of philosophy beneath the confusion Dr. are - asserting themselves, Erickson declared. These characas: teristics he listed 1 The principle of experimentation. 2 The principle of government in business and the control by the federal rather than state govern- ments. 3 The principle of considering social welfare in prefernce to individual rights. The changing social order has led to a skepticism with respect to the old economic doctrines," Dr. Erickson declared. "No one knows the result but are willing to experiment." The New Deal has shown faith in the scientists, he said, and through them it is trying to learn what civilized society wants. Dr. Erickson concluded that circumstance has imposed the principle of government in business on the people. "It may not be long until socialism, in some of Its aspects, will not sound so bad." Dr. Erickson predicted. Serves Two Groups In elaborating on the third principle Dr. Erickson pointed out that the New Deal has selected two groups to serve the farmers and the laborers. It is not concerning itself so much with the U. S. Chamber of Commerce and the industrial leaders, he said. This has resulted because larmers and la-- ( Continued On Page 8) Buried Person Indoors ? Thats A Big Coast Question Is A LOS ANGELES, Nov. 18 a.Hi City prosecutors perspired through their collars, wrenched off neckties, and reduced their voices to hoarse whispers today arguing whether a person buried in a grave is legally indoors.

Gravely they surrounded the through which unofficial customers might peer only after buying a ticket. "Hey, shouted Jennings, you're under arrest. Come up outa there." I can't, trilled Miss Graves. "Come down and get me. The detectives did. They summoned reinforcements, including a joblot of trusties armed with pick and shovel, and three hours later Miss Graves rose from the tomb. Law Is Law wailed Wood, But please," "what's It all for?" "That ordinance," explained the law majestically, "ain't only for flag-positters and martbon dancers. Its agin all indoor endurance contests.

Two others barely escaed death in the crash, although one of them lies in a serious, though not critical, condition in a Ixgan hospital. Chester Kidman, also of Mendon and driver of the car, is reported to have spent a good night at the hospital. He suffered a severe laceration of the left ear, cuts and bruises on his nose and head, an injury to his left hand and severe body bruises, believed to be internal injuries. William Lcrgstroth, Mendon, received a fractured rib Two Injured In Accident On Boulevard and lacerations on his face and right ear.

BY COLLIER FORD Press Cable. Writer Italy's most important military move since the Black Shirts and native Askar is crossed the Eritrean border was taken today when United Gen. Emilio de Bono, commander of the East African armies, was relieved of his. post and recalled to Italy. Preceding hy a few hours a of the Fascist grand meeting council it is evident the two events might mark the decisive date in Italy's Ethiopian adventure. Successful generals are not relieved of their commands during the heat of a campaign. The old military adage may be altered to some extent by political and civil influences but its truth remain? Although de Bonos re strong. ef call the Rome was gilded over by his promotion to a marshal's rank, even the cables from Italy admit Marshal Iierao Badoglio was named in his place because he is considered the "more able tact ician" and now is the time when resistance increased Ethiopian may be expected. Several explanations may be made for the switch in command They are: 1. Dissatisfaction with the conduct of the war to date2. A Rome reason that the is situation political European Italy quieting and consequently does not need its leading soldier and chief of general staff in the homeland. 3. That de Bano's standing and counsel is needed in Italy itself as a result of his experience as colonial minister and a pioneer Fascist leader. Reason number three has some elements of truth in it Reason No. two is weak The meeting of the council today to institute Italian reprisals against league penal-tis- s is cvidnc? is itsslf thst Italy's relations with the leagU' and league member nations are most delicate. And on Monday. the league sanctions go into effect. The only possible rainbow for Italy in the diplomatic sky is the overwhelming govern' ment victory in the British elec Nov. tiniis 18, fi , m ITALY RECALLS GENERAL DE BONO Climbs Railing According to reports, the sect ' dcat happened as the party was traveling toward Logan. As they came upon the bridge over the Logan river, the car crashed Into a wooden railing, which precedes a high steel railing on each side of the main portion of the bridge. The momentum of the car carried it onto the steel railing, along which one of the wheels found traction almost on top of bridge suspension, the car tipped into the river upside down. , Longstroth and Kidman freed themselves from the wreck and waded to shore. When Muir failed to show up, they said, they hunted the water for him but could find no trace of his body. They called" the sheriff's department and fire station from the home of Parley A. Hill, not far distant, the and Deputy Sheriffs Hy-luWeatherstone and N. C. Peterson hurried to the scene. The body was located when Louis Madsen of Logan jumpd on the upturned auttomobile and reached into the water around the car. He found that the pressure of the current held the body against the vehicle. He tied a rope' loosely around the body and- - pulled it free to a point where the rope could be attached to Muirs ankle. In River Thirty Minutes Muir was then pulled onto the bridge about half an hour after the crash, and taken to the Hilt home where firemen worked over his body with a pulmotor until Dr. S. M. Budge arrived and the man dead. An examination found gashes on the front side of Mr. Muirs face, leading to the belief that he had been knocked unconscious in the crash. The drowned man was born in Mendon, a son of the late Thomas and Jane Muir. Surviving are two sons and four daughters, Russell and Eddis Muir, Kda, Myrtle and Hazel Muir and Mrs. Edna Mendon. A son, Bird, all of Preston Muir was drowned last in Bear River. He is also year survived by two brothers and two sisters, Thomas B. Muir and James Muir of Mendon, Mm.
