Telephone 365 Editorial TIIE CITY AND COUNTY IN TIIE LEGISLATURE ,While the reaulta of the aeventeenth aeasion of the legislature have not aa satisfactory to Ogden and Weber county aa was hoped for, we have fared far better than meat of the counties of the state. The legia-latuwhich haa just adjourned will long be remembered aa one of the moat economical in the History of the state. No bonded indebtedness has been created, and the appropriations r well within the income of the tato. The repreaentativea from all the smaller counties were firm in the determination that there should be no increase in taxation, for any purpose whatsoever. Salt Lake City and put forth a most alluring plan county for removal of the penitentiary, but representatives from other counties would not take the bait. Box Elder county wanted an institution for the feeble-mindeand Senator Peters put forth a bill for the creation of such an institution, but it failed to go over. The university wanted a dormitory for girls, but could not gett the money. There was a strong sentiment for a soldiers' memorial, but friends of the movement soon learned that it was out of the question. Provo wanted a sizeable appropriation for new buildings at the institution of the insane, but failed in the effort to get it. In fact, all the state institutions and departments of state wanted more money than they got and had to be satisfied with what was given them. The appropriations committee was so firm in its determination to keep within ths revenues of the state that the bill was passed without change or amendment. Among the bills passed ' in which Ogden and Weber county are interested was the stock show law authorizing the county commissioners to levy a tax for stock show purposes, but not to exceed $25,000. The Washington avenue paving bill, a piece of special legislation whereby the street can be paved from curb to center at the exense of the property owners. The bill provides that the street car company must rebuild its tracks and keep the pavement between the rails and for a certain distance on either side of the track in repair. Had this bill not been passed,, the street car company would have asked the utilities commission for permission to take up its tracks, in which event a great amount of taxable property would have been lost to the city and county. Another bill in which the community is interested is the auto truck and auto bus bill. This law provides that parties using the highways for the transportation of freight and passengers for hire and making a regular business of it are barred from the roads. In the state road bill a state road was secured from "Death Curve," on the Salt Lake and Ogden highway, easterly via Globe mills and over the Twenty-fourt- h street viaduct This road will be built and maintained by the state. Among other bills in which the city and county are interested are the bills for the prevention and control of brush fires on mountains; the firemens pension bill; pension for industrial school guards; and the bill creating a civil service commission in fire and police departments, commission to be composed of civilians in no re d, way connected with municipal government. In addition to regular appropriations for the Industrial school and school for the deaf, there was secured the sum of $25,000 for the state armory: $1,000 additional for the school for the deaf; $2,000 for the Florence Crittenden home; $4,600 for the Martha society; $3,500 for the Children's Aid society. Taken all in all, the Ogden and Weber county delegation did good work and got about all that was possible to get. They also helped to kill several bills which, had they become laws, would have proved detrimental to the best interest of the commun-it- y. In the senate the county was represented by John 8. Lewis and Charles R. Hollingsworth; and in the house by Representatives David L Stine, L J. Holther, C. K. Winans and D. J. Hammond. COMMENDABLE BY WORK TIIE IflLICK Ogden police did commendable work Saturday night in nipping in the bud a small start for a reign of criminal work here. As the result of this work a gas station bandit is in the police station awaiting trial upon the charge of robbery. He also has a wound through his shoulder as a brand from Detective George Finn. The bandit said his name is Roy Christofferson and he came from California, where he had been arrested and had served time. It is interesting to note that all of the greatest bandits have met their Waterloo, when they go "out to the Stix" to turn a job. The record of nearly every crook has ended in the small towns. It may mean the same with the gas station bandit which Finn brought down Saturday night while in the act of holding up the attendant in one of the gas stations. Friday night when a bandit was holding up a gas station he laughingly remarked he would be "on the job tomorrow night. That was a defy from a city polished crook who was planning on picking up some loose change in this "hick" town. When he was busy holding up the station Saturday night Finn appeared upon the scene and ws the quickest on the trigger. The officer did not follow the time worn advice of shoot to kill but he shot to "wing" his bird and take him alive. Mr. Bandit would have probably got a hot reception had he picked out some other station to rob, for there was an officer waiting here as a reception committee of one. Chief of Police Jonathan Jones and the members of his department, and especially Detective Finn, are to be congratulated upon the splendid manner in which the situation was handled. of It was a fine spirit of the men and a carefully laid plan which was successfully carried out, in the name of the peace and safety of the people of Ogden. . GIVE TIIE UNEMPLOYED TIIE CLEAN-U- P WORK There are many families in Ogden that need assistance. A few days work during the spring clean-u- p campaign, for the heads of the families, to them. .The d would Jse a., winter has not been altogether the best in the world for them in the matter of work. Many bread-earnehave not been able to get employment, and they hf ve had a hard time feeding the several mouths in their homes. These families are the backbone of a city, state and nation. They are people who do not want charity, but they want work. In some of the families during the past two months conditions have been very bad. Children were kept out of school for the lack of shoes. Shoes were not purchased because food was more essential to the livilihood of the family. The time for the annual spring clean-u- p is here. There and paint-u- p will be plenty of opportunity for the citizens who will have the spring God-sen- rs $1Q0 FOR A NAME cleaning to do to secure the service of the unemployed in Ogden. A movement has been started to establish a free employment officj in the city where labor ran be secured promptly It is planned and without expense. to try and have the employment office opened in ample time for furnishing employment for the clean-ucampaigp in the city. p OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL BAND IN NATIONAL CONTEST In about three months time the second National high school bind contest will be held in Council Bluffs, Iowa. Ogdon high school will be represented by its crack band of 68 pieces, and we are confident they will bring home the championship this year. They rot third place last year at Fostoria, Ohio, and were only a noint or two behind the first place. When Hyrum Lamme Lammers, conductor of the band, and his boys returned home last snrinr, they were as jubilant as though they had carried off first place, because they knew that In 1D27 things would be different. And they will, according to the forecasts of some very able judges of music. It is going to take a little money to defray the expense of the trip. The money cannot be advanced from the funds which are used to educate the children of our city. It should come from the people of Ogden who are complimented in having a school band that is the premier of the tions bands. The contest in Council Bluffs will be held on May 27 and 28. That is not far off, why not begin the movement to raise the fund necessary to send the boys back to the contest right now. There is no need putting it off too long. Let us be sure the boys are going to the contest If they go Ogden will get more than ten times the amount of the expense of the trip in advertising. Would it not be a good thing for Ogden to invite the third national contest to be held in this city next year? ,Ve ran take care of visitors. The pessimist says Ogden has not the accomodations to care for a convention. We remember in 1889, when the Transmississippi congress and the carnival, which was the Manli Gras of New Orleans, was held here; then there was the Irrigation Con' gress in 1904, the National three years later, and there has been many conventions and the visitors have been provided with food, Ogden lodging and entertainment. can take care of conventions better now than ever before and Ogden knows how to entertain too. na- Wool-growe- rs Communication I just love girls. Everybody loves girls. I can not think of anyone not loving girls nice girls, mannerly girls, pretty girls, and most girls are pretty, depending upon their ways. In one of my old McGuffey readers it was said that "handsome is as handsome does." I find that still true. The word "girl" occurs in the Bible once; the word "flapper, never. To transpose a copy which my teacher used to set for me in my copy book, it would read: "Many girls of many minds, many girls of many kinds." Girls of every age and station, girls of every clime. Elonde girls, brunette short girls, little girls, Eirls, tall girls, girls and "flappers., I had to look in the dictionary to learn the It says one meaning of flapper. who flaps. Anyway, we all know a "flapper when we cee her. It is about tne "flapper" one hears most these days. She is on everybodys tongue. Some think she is one thing, some think she is another. Some think her bad, some try to think her good and some pretend they dont think about her at all. As foi the "flapper" herself she doesn't think. Or if she does she decides she is very cute, else why so much comment upon her par ticular cast. One trouble with the "flapper" is the trouble with us all. She can not see herself as others see her. The "flapper would like to be popular, strives to be popular and thinks she is popular. And no wonder, a popular girl is a happy girl. The happiest girl I ever knew was the most popular girl I ever knew. But she was not a "flapper" and had no flapper" ways, She was plain of manner, sensible over with pretty, witty and bubbling engenuine harmless fun. She wassociher everyone nought tertaining, ety and her fun was catching. A magazine writer very recently summed up the main defect of the "flapper which she said is a lack of intelligence. - She said the not criticism. "flapper" needs teaching, When the "flapper" misbehaves it is because she does not know any better. She is ignoant of proper rules of conduct. She should be given lessons in the adornment of foire. refinement, politeness and good English. Hei coarse exterior should be polishe to away and the "flapper" be made shine with accomplishments becoming to a young lady. Again, the "flap-er- " likes compliments, but does no; now how to win thorn.
