How long before no habits are safe if the wave of crime mounts higher? It is time for all to unite in a war on racketeering that will crush it so that it will neier lise again. It is within the pow'er of our citizens to do this. If we are determined and willing to sacrifice certain amount of comfort and convenience.

Road oiling projects in Utah, heretofore handled by state highway department forces, will very likely be turned over to private contractors this year. This announcement was made following a meeting of contractors with the state road department officials. Only one or two oiling jobs were done by private contractors last year.

The crowds celebrated the first anniversary of the overthrow of the Bourbon monarchy with fiestas, while secretly many thousands looked upon it as a day of mourning The celebrations are not as enthusiastic as those of April 14, in some places 1931, and which continued for two days, yet among the masses there was an underlying feeling of satisfaction that a government in which they had a more active part had been established. Nobody, with the exception of a few fanatic Republicans, claims that Spam has been republican-ize- d in one year; yet even the most rabid have Monarchists erased comparing the Second Republic to the First Republic, which lasted only from Feb. 11, 1873, to Jan. 3, 1874. The circumstance that the Spanish Revolution was bloodless, and that Alfonso XIII escaped the fate of Charles L Louis XVI, and Nicholas II, has led many persons abroad, and even some Republicans in Spain itself, to lose sight of the fact that April 14, 1031. means not only the substitution of one regime by another, but the beginning of a fundamental change in Spanish society. All of the reforms, which were planned 15 months ago, when the then "Revolutionary . Committee" was in juil and King Alfonso XIII was in the Royal Palace, have not been put into effect, for many adverse factors have been encountered. 14 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS TOPIC (U.Pi The Weather j DO.

Peterson of San Pete county announced today that an arrest would be made this afternoon in connection with tha brutal murder of Andrew Bjerre-gaarpresident of the Bank of Ephraim. Peterson declined to name the suspect but did say the person was a resident of Ephraim. The entire southern part of tha state was aroused over the murder of the wealthy Utahn, who waa foudd dead in his home Wednesday morning. He had been beaten and burned apparently the slayer attempted to burn the bouse in an attempt to hide ail trace of the crime. Officers have concluded that the murder eras committed between 9:30 p. m. and 9:45 p. m. Tuesday. They based their supposition on the theory ot a neighbor, Henry Pedersen, who said he detected the smell of burning oil and rags about that time, but did not locate the source. Feeling ran .nigh in this community and in event the murderer Is captured, he will be closely guarded against possible violence. Our nation, with all its hopes and sympathies for the baby, lies under the feet of triumphant racketeers. Organized crime will have its tribute and its tribute knows no d limit in reason. dollars? Not enough. The kidnapers must have more and move before they deliver. Then perhaps they will take more babies. Crime rules the world today. BE OHIO SOON However, the present New York chief executive has an overwhelming lead for convention votes over the 1928 Democratic standardbearer and it is not believed by experienced', political observers that the campaign of Governor Smith will result in any real barrier to the lioosevelt steam roller. Meanwhile, the usual charges of graft and excess expenditures have been started earlier than usual with Senator Robinson, Republican, Indiana, raising a demand for investigation of Roosevelts campaign expenditures, charging that he in Oklahoma spent $59,000 against Governor Murray. Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt, Bitting, and former Governor Alfred E. Smith were of smiling and the best friends when this picture was taken net se long ago. But now the battle cry has with Smith been sounded openly declaring war on the of presidential aspirations At a Governor floosevelt. dinner in Washington Wednesday night, although not mentioning Roosevelt by name, SmMh intimated several times se strongly that his meaning could not be misconstrued, that ho was out to fight to the bitter hud with Roosevelt.
