Natural scenery is an important resource, capable of bringing much money into a state, to add to the prosperity of its people. But this resource is of no value until it ia made easily and safely accessible, and only the state can build the necessary more governments than any other cause. One of the surest ways to keep the people contented is to keep their taxes down. And yet there comes a time when the popular demand for increased public service outweighs the desire for low taxes. When the people want a service and are willing to pav for it, they should not be denied, unless the demand comes from nontaxpayers who would reap the benefits and puts an unjust burden upon taxpayers who would not be benefit-ted. It therefore comes down to a matter of justice, and the essential thing is to distribute the burden of taxation equitably. Taxation is consequently a subject of perennial interest It is exciting more discussion in our state today than any other topic. In our complicated social and economic structure it has become a difficult and highly technical subject The open-mind- ed Proposition to Make It seems that a printer somewhere got slightly peeved at down in Texas a letter from a doctor who wanted bids on several thousand letterheads and statements, different sizes, different grades of paper and printed in various colors; with the request that the forms be kept standing for possible reprint orders. So Mr, Printer diagnosed the case carefully and answered something in this manner: "Am in the market for bide on one operation for appendicitis one, two, and five-inc- h incision, with and without nurse. If appendix is fonnd to be sound, wont quotations to include same back and canceling Sutting removed, successful bidder is expected to hold incision open for about sixty days, as I expect to be in the market for an operation for gallstones at that time and want to save the cost of cutting." Forbes servant will neither try to perpetuate special privileges that already exist nor to load an extra burden where it does not rightfully belong. If he is motivated by justice yourself with the wise use rather than by selfishness, he may be of Accupy time and the proverbial rainy day able to accomplish something toward will bring: on the rainbow. honest tax reform. In seeking to bring about justice he will inevitably Ia mortar placed between bricks to meet with opposition and criticism, for justice is the last thing the tax hold them together or keep them public dodger wants. And yet the growth and development of the state cannot be sound and healthy unless it rests upon a foundation or justice, with eaual burdens and responsibilities as well as equal benefits and privileges. It must not be forgotten that our social, cultural and spiritual welfare depend largely upon our economic status, and if we are practical we will remember that our material development must often precede our enjoyment of the finer things of life. Whether through sentiment or we are all dethrough voted to our state and desire to see it develop and grow. From the standpoint of population and taxable wealth Utah cannot yet claim to rank with self-intere- st, apart When reading a speech give your audience the joy of seeing the sheets diminish. the rich and populous states of the East. We may, however, justly claim greatness for our state from the standpoint of the states endowment of natural resources. But natural resources do not make a state unless they are developed and put to use. All our land, water, minerals and scenery wen here before the white man came, but there was no state. When man develops these resources, wealth is created, population increases, business opportunities are multiplied, and every citizen has a better chance to achieve his aspirations. cer-tai- "Oil, yes," said Billie Brownie, "and we'll try to show off and do some tricks for the Fairy Queen." "If 1 were you," said Peter Gnome, ,"I wouldnt try too many tricks, but Just try to keep your balance and not topple over." "Good advice," said Billie Brownie, "we'll try to take It." But Just at that moment Mr. Moon began to grow Impatient, "Aren't you ever going to atop talking?" he asked. "You ran talk Just as well In the dork, and here I am giving you all the light 1 can for the coasting party." "We'll go off right away," said one of the Gdomes. They all began piling on their sleds. Sometimes they put the sleds together and a great many wtfnt down at a time. Usually the last sled upturned, but that only added to the fun. Mr. Moon grinned, and said: "Tills Is the way 1 like to spend i winter's night 1 so enjoy a party.1 "Then," said Peter Gnome, "wll you come to our skating party whlcn we are going to give for the Fair) Queen and the other Fairies, and at which the Brownies are going to do some special stunts?" "Indeed, I'll come, with pleasure,' said Air. Moon, smiling broadly. "Im glad this Is to be a gay week. 1 like f It gay when I dress up and wear iny : best suit and look well and round and fat" "So you like to dross up for par ties, eh?" asked leter Gnothe.

' OF the time being may be Agriculture is Americas greatest industry, but the agricultural industry is composed of many thousands of individual farmers, each of whom la a small unit of capital. Agriculture is a highly technical pursuit, and the farmer has more problems than anyone else that need to be solved by scientific research. Indeed, it may well be that science will play a larger part than legislation in curing the ills of the farmer. But the individual farmer cannot carry on his own research, lie has not the time and he cannot afford to experiment with unproved ideas. Moreover, he seldom has the scientific background to equip him for research. The farmer ia the best customer of the factories. When he is prosperous enough to buy what he needs and wants, industry will be prosperous and workingmen will be employed. On the other hand, when low prices or crop failures destroy the farmers purchasing power, factories shut down and idle workmen walk the streets. Since the welfare of the fanner ia so bound up with the welfare of every other class, hia prosperity becomes a matter of public concern, and his research problems may rightfully be regarded as public problems, to be solved at public expense. We therefore have our agricultural tions and extension divisions, with their experiment engaged in efforts to make farming more profitable. It is a legitimate expansion of governmental activity. Thus the control of crop peats, noxious weeds and animal diseases in our own state becomes largely a state burden, aa does the experimentation to improve the quality and increase thequantity of our agricultural prod- - Friday, January 11,1929 High taxes have probably caused Also Had a more revolutions and have destroyed Printer Brownies and Gnomes laughed, for Sir.
