Show Friday, February 17, THE OGDEN POST The Ogden Post Tulilikhed nrh Friday by The Of den Tost Printing end Publishing company, 2128 Kieael avenue. Entered aa aecondtlaas matter October 17, 1027, at the post office at Ogden, Utah, under the Act of March 8, 1878. , $1.00 Per Year HOOVER ANNOUNCES Herbert Hoover, secretary of commerce in the cubineta of President Harding and President Coolidge, will be a candidate for the Republican nomination for president. He virtually announced bis candidacy in a letter to hia backers in Ohio who sought permission to enter Hoovers name in the primary fight there. Hoover needs no introduction to the people of the United States. He has iierhaps as much of a record of public achievements as any man who has aspired to a presidential nomination He is a candidate quite unlike many who have aspired to the honor in more than one respect, lie is not the candidate o any particular group of politicians from appearances, although it is a little too early to determine this angle. He is not much of a politician himself, this being one of tho charges against him brought by those who pose aa astute in the ways of the political manipulators. Hoover, by his early training, became a technical man and has been content to follow that line of work and has never worried himself much about the country's welfare from the viewpoint of the professional politician. THE DELINQUENT TAXES Retrenchment in the administration of various offices of Ogden City, advocated last week by Tho Post is not a new idea by any means. Economy is usually the battle cry of every candidate for office and between campaigns the taxpayers plead for it, in vain. Economy is something that every successful business house must practice but which the great public corporations the city, county or state so easily pass up. It was brought to the attention of readers of The Post, which Includes the taxpayers of the city, that savings could be made in the administration of some city departments. This should by all means he done, but, to use the vernacular of the streets, the saving which might be effected in some departments would be petty larceny" compared with the big issue before the city officials which is the collection of delinquent special improvement taxes. Special improvement taxes have been permitted to accumulate like some mercantile establishments allow No delinquent accounts to accumulate.have business house on earth could such an enormous total of accounts receivable over such a long period as Ogden and continue in business. Residents of the city who owe special improvement taxes should consider themselves indebted to their corporation and pay their obligations. But Just that obligation will not bring in the money,. It is up to the city to use every means at it command to obtain collection of the taxes. There would bo no more effective mcaps of bringing in special improvement taxes than the publication of. the names of delinquents. Taxpayers should stop and figure for themselves how much it is costdeing them to carry the load of tho taxes linquent special improvement which, it is said, amount to more than $350,000. Interest must be paid on this amount whether special improvement taxes come in or not. Who pays the bill? Sure, the taxpayer does in some form or other. oft-tim- es !t- i .

Members of the chamber, who are the representative business men of the city, should take the 'same keen interest in this election that citizens should ex hibit in general, state, county am municipal elections. There are sixteen nominees for places on the board of directors. The eight receiving the highest number of votes will he declared elected, Of the sixteen candidates ten are men who are not now serving on the hoard and six are up for The nominating committee is to be commended for selecting a libera' number of new candidates. There is usually a tone of dissatisfaction among members of the chamber that a certain click" is running things. Those members who have been offering such criticism now have their opportunity to select a number of new directors. It is not always wise to name all new men but the seven holdover members of the board of directors of the chamber will afford a continuity of experienced guidance.

If a scout persuades a new boy, (12 years old) to become a scout, the now boy receives a Maverick button. 2. .If the same scout helps the new boy until he is past his tenderfoot tests Bnd is registered at Scout Headquarters, he gets a button saying, I roped one. , 3.
