In answer "Sow, let us put ourselves In Japan's shoes, and make an estimate of the situation of her own forces, considered from a military, economic, political, and geographical standpoint. She has a regular army nearly twice the size of ours; she has had compulsory military training so that her population of 75,000,000 Is a tremendous reservoir for unlimited supplies of already trained men. She has a navy built within three vessels of her limit up to 1930 (The United States must build M0 to be up to her Treaty allowance.) Eco nomically, Japan Is in good shape, comparatively shaking.

I say, "Yes, but It will serve as a notice to future commissioners that they must live within the law. Four thousand dollars does not mean much when a city has money to throw away as has Ikhmi the case In the past." I can see a new I think that move to help Murray. The other day, I saw a member of the Lion's Club around asking the merchants to try and sell what canned goods they could from our Murray canning factory In order to keep the factory from moving or closing away from Murray been down. If this attitude had put into effect as to our smelter they would be furnishing employment for more men than they are at the present time, but the cry has been to shove the tuxes onto the smelter; they can afford it. Even men working at the plant did not have a good word nor give them a break, even men that were getting a life pension did not raise a voice in their defense. A company is just like an ludivlduul, they will stand just so much and no more. How well I remember when we called a public meeting In 1901 to see what could be done about having the new smelter built In Murray. They were considering several sites. Sandy was offering them land and water free. At this meeting, I was appointed a committee cf one to go before the directors in Salt Iuke and see just what they would pay for . the land between State street on the east, O. S. L. railroad on the west, Little Cottonwood creek on the south and 53rd South on the south. After coming to an agreement with the directors as to what they would pay and what we would have to pay the owners, there was a difference of $0,(x0. I reported this at the next meeting and was given forty-eigh- t hours to close the deal A meeting was called and everyone was In favor of closing the bargain, aud they, everyone, volunteered to help raise the money as they must have the smelter In Murray. I closed the deal and we raised the $0,000 and more. After all the land was paid for everyone that had contributed got a return check for forty per cent of the money that he had paid in. What a difference today! J. W. CAHOON. I. S. I will tell you more In my next letter. F. 0. E. News Is-e- Social Mention y In continuation of our article of last week, we wish to submit for your kind consideration a brief but authentic analysis of the expenditures to date and contracted obligations, which must be paid, and for which the bond election is culled on February 20th.

The contracted indebtedness now due and payable, and which must le met, could have been financed and funds provided for by one of two methods; first: by the commission authorizing the Issuance of revenue bonds, which did not require a general election: second: by holding a general election and having the people, whom the commission aim to serve to their best advantage, vote upon the Issue to provide the neeessury funds to fulfill Murray City's obligations the latter method obtaining the money $4,000.00 cheaper than the first. The bond Issue to Ih? voted upon for serial bonds extending over a period of even (7) years, the of $5,000.00, payable principal each year, with Murray City's option to extend the payment of any one or more year's payments on principal and interest over an additional time up to and including 20 years. The latter feature is solely provided to allow future commissions the flexibility and freedom to extend a one year principal to some later date in the event that the additional revenue provided to Ls DISBURSEMENT YOU ME 1932 make this payment may le used to In the event of unexpected or critical need.
