Alexander, county physician and superintendent of the Salt Lake General Hospital, is entitled to collect a private fee for an asserted charity patient at the public institution, was being considered by Judge Oscar W. of Third District Court Wednesday. Judge McConkle late Tuesday afternoon took under advisement an .appeal by. Hyrum ,EV Carlson, Bacchus powder worker, from a district court default Judgment in favor of Dr. Alexander. Testifying in his own behalf. Car-so- n said he never had been a private patient of Dr. Alexander, who is permitted to treat his own cases at the hospital, and entered the institution in 1933 wih the understanding he was a charity patient, since he was without employment or funds. Carlsons wife had been named a party of Dr. Alexander's suit for $106.50 in fees for an operation, but Judge McConkie dismissed the action against her. The Carlson case 'had been thoroughly aired before the county commission before reaching court. The (ommission, after hearing considerable testimony, hed the patient to have been a private one of Dr. Alexander. Mc-Con- 4 Attention is called to the two following resolutions adopted recently by Uie Utah Industrial Recovery board, acting by authority of the Utah Industrial Recovery Act and executive order of Governor Henry H. Blood, dated November 5, 1935. It shall be an unfair trade practice within the meaning of the Utah Industrial Act Recovery(Chapter 78, Laws of Utah, 1935) to advertise at an extremely low price articles of merchandise in retail stores when only a limited quantity of such articles' of merchandise is available, unless the advertisement of such articles of merchandise contains a statement as to the number of units of such article of merchandise available for public purchase. When no such statement specifying the number of units of such article of merchandise is contained in the advertisement it shall be an unfair trade - practice within the meaning of the Utah Industrial Recovery Act (Chapter 76, Laws of Utah, 1935) to advertise such article of merchandise at an extremely low price unless there Is an adequate supply of such article of merchandise on hand and available for public purchase to meet the ordinary requirements of the trade. It is hereby resolved that the board issue an order declaring that advertising below cost and or sales below cost of articles usually carried in retail stores is an unfair trade practice when and if such advertising below cost and or sales below cost tend to create monopolies, tend to restrain trade or lessen competition, opposes or eliminate small enterprises, or when such sales of misleading the public." The board has adopted, in accordance with instructions from the attorney general's office, a policy of making a determination in each individual case strictly in accordance wth the facts surrounding such case. The basis upon which the board will make a finding of monopolistic practices is that sales below cost require either that the public buy from the store so advertising and selling, or that a substantial part of other retail establishments would be required to sell at a loss in order to remain competitive.

Edith has the same-blin- d faith in the Republican Party that I once had in Beech trees. When a kid, I was informed by one who claimed to be well versed in woods lore that none but nut eating animals climbed beech trees. Late one afternoon, near dusk, I noted a small animal In the branches of what I took to be a beech tree, and In supposedly perfect safety, I attempted po dislodge it with the aid of a long stick. That was a beech tree, all right, but what a lesson I learned from the skunk) Today, my estimate of persons and principles is entirely uninfluenced by the political tree on which they happen to roost.
