TAXATION KNOWLEDGE surance instead of reducing accidents would have the opposite effect, said Edson S. Lott, president of the United States casualty company, in a re cent address. According to Mr. Iott, a recent autosurvey showed that 15,000,000 caused mobiles in the United States 000,000 injuries. Of the latter, 400, 000 of the injured persons were them selves at fault, leaving but 33 3 per cent of the cases with possible indemnity. The consequence of such enforced insurance would be that 14,900,000 automobiles would be burdened with expense in order to provide for the possible 100,000 which would be entirely at fault. We can't understand why accidents l-- would be lessened by automobile Mr. Lott continued. On the contrary, persons compelled to carry insurance against their will would be inclined to be more careless. 1 prefer a slogan of 'stop the kill ing' to 'pay as you kill.' " This opinion seems logical. It takes a peculiar mental process to reach the conclusion that if a reckless or irresponsible driver is covered by an insurance policy that makes him safe from financial responsibility, he will immediately become careful or responsible. Compulsory insurance is a theory that would place a great burden on the majority 3i drivers, who are careful and capable, without curing the evil it is aimed at. ESSENTIAL Taxation is a subject of tho utmost importance to every citizen. Unfortunately, few people have a thorough and scientific understanding of the way it should be handled. For a number of years past we have had an economy administration that has successfully lowered national taxes without slighting any necessary governmental functions. Yet at the same time local taxes have so steadily and dangerously mounted that they have offset the federal saving. Good taxation is an incentive to stable, progressive industry, home and property owning, and real prosperity and growth on a solid basis Ex horbitant and wasteful taxation is a certain detriment to these. Too many bond issues and debts can ruin a Economy Plus Service VITE THE PUBLIC TO VISIT OUR PARLORS AND TO COMPARE OUR MERCIIAN-DISE- , PRICES AND SERVICE WITH ANY MORTUARY IN UTAH.

OF RAILROAD HISTORY Probably few Americans, to whom lhe spectacle and service of a great railroad train that carries them swift-- y and safely over thousands of miles of track is nothing unusual, know that t was but one hundred years ago that .he modest, experimental antecedents if the great monsters of today came nto being in this country. In 1828 work was started on our irst railroad line, the Baltimore and Jhio. And two years later, in 1830, .here were but 13 miles of rail in use. In 1923, after the passage of ess than a century, railroad mileage totaled 412,361; there were 1,833,398 employes, and the lines paid combined federal, state and local taxes of over $1,000,000 a day. The story of this tremendous progress is one of the greatest of modern What our American romances. grandfathers laughed at were destined to become the necessities of the future. Few people of the time would have believed that the absurd little engines and cars were the beginning of an industry which was to be called the backbone of modern life. The railroads were built by men of vision; working towards an ideal. They are an example of what American initiative, efficiency and science can buy stock we investigate and are certain of, the economy and ability of the management. Often when we vote we fail absolutely to do this. And tho result is high taxes and waste. The federal government has shown what can bo done. Some states and cities have made notable records in economy. Tho same conditions can be effected everywhere if we vote as we do business, with full knowledge and an intelligent SOCIALISM IMPERILS ALL RUSINESSES Present efforts which are being made to put the government into the electric power business in different parts of the country threaten the safety of all private business in America, declares Matthew S. Sloan, president of the Brooklyn Edison company. Creating a government power monopoly would be merely the beginning, Do that, and you notify ho says. American business and the American the door of opportunity people thatto shut against them. You tell them that one business, a vital key industry, has been taken out of the realm of individual opportunity and has been socialized. What will that do to our American spirit? What will it do to American business not alone that one which happens to bo on the firing line now? The spirit of man cannot be crushed by obstacles, so long as there remains the opportunity for achievement. Rut if the opportunity itself bo narrowed if there exists the prospect that it may become still narrower the inducement to struggle is stifled at birth. The situation presents something for our consideration far bigger and broader than the future of the electrical industry, important as that may be to our country. There is involved a vital question ox national policy, settlement of which must create a lasting precedent. Either this country is to remain what it has been a land in which business is to be conducted by the people, and tho people are to be economically free or it is to be changed to something else, something not contemplated by the founders of our government. All business is to remain free from government compel! tion and absorption, or w'e are to find ourselves on the road to socialization of all business, which means destruction of individual rights, liherty and happiness as we have visioned and experienced them." of1 A CENTURY we REAL CRIME REMEDIES President Coolidge, in his Memorial day address, made some remarks on crime and respect for law and order that are of interest to every American 1ja A What could be a more fitting mon- tainly he who builds a beautiful to Alexander, Keep out of my sun Rf)AI) HUILDING AS highway that gives ument to an artist of public highways, permanent FINE ART light.'
