A O O SAYS THE New York Tribune: "The present national relief system . . . . creates a class system within the ranks of relief. Those that WPA does not employ em-ploy are thrown on local relief, where they receive, on the average, less than half as much a month as those on WPA. This more or less arbitrary discrimination dis-crimination should be ended. Our dual relief system should be lntegraed. This could be done .... by a system of federal grants-in-fcid. In accordance with a definite but flexible formula, which would at once decentralize the administration of relief and compel each local community to contribute its fair share. o o o "PEACE IN the labor movement is one of the vital necessities of present-day present-day America, not only for labor's sake but in the interest of the country's welfare." The Nation. V Q O "LIFE INSURANCE is a social and economic institution, not a mere commercial com-mercial enterprise," said Roger B. Hull recently. The 64,000,000 Americans who have purchased policies with a maturity value of $110,000,000,000 are the real owners of this institution. Theirs is a co-operative endeavor, whereby many people each put in a little sum of money In order to provide for the future fu-ture needs of the individual. Most of these people have moderate means. It is not the man of wealth who looks primarily to life Insurance as a haven for his savings, but the man with a small salary, or a little business, or a job at day wages. That is why life insurance in-surance has been termed, with all justice, jus-tice, "the most democratic of industries." indus-tries." o o o THE UNITED States News gives statistics statis-tics which show the cost of the depression depres-sion since 1929: Losses in salaries and wages $119 billion; losses in farm income, in-come, $39 billions; losses in dividends to stockholders, $20 billions.

Entire West Pleads For The Cause Of Silver Thousands Appeal to President Roosevelt To Fix Price at 77.57 Activity of the entire west the past week was centered in securing petitions ana passing resolutions to be forwarded to President Roosevelt urging him to come to the aid of the thousands of unemployed miners throughout the west, because of the low price of silver, and Degging him to restore the price of the metal to 77.57, as paid in 1937--that the operators of big mining properties may be able to resume operations and put ting back to work the thousands of now idle miners, thus putting an end to Idleness . and suffering and restoring business and the general good for all. It is estimated at least 10,000 in the state have signed petitions, with federal, state, county and city officials; organizations organi-zations and clubs enthusiastically united In the movement to boost the price of silver. Labor unions of the state as a unit v are. backing the . movement -with governors of several states, senators, congressmen, con-gressmen, and representative citizens of western and southern states lending their aid and influence to this end. Petitions and resolutions by the score were forwarded to Washington Tuesday and the united efforts of all will be continued until the end of this month, when the president must set the price of newly mined sliver for the coming year. Park City's Petition Several petitions appealing to the President to boost the price of newly mined silver were circulated the first of the week and practically every adult signed same. Tuesday at the request of Democra tic National Committeeman A. S. Brown, who has been devoting his entire time the past ten days, contacting state. county and city officers, and dispatching hundreds of tlelegrams and private ap peals to the President, Howard Hout of Salt Lake, and Norman Neil of this city, circulated a petition among the business and professional men of our city, every one signing it and the same forward ed to Washington that evening. The petition follows: Park City, Utah, December 13, 1938. THE PRESIDENT, Washington, D. C. Subject Silver Purchase Sir; Park City, Utah, Is a town with a population tinder normal conditions cf five to six thousand people, situated ( thirty-two miles from Salt Lake City, and is one of the largest mining camps in the United States, producing silver, lead and zinc, and employing from two to three thousand miners. Since last April the camp has been closed down on account of the metal market, silver being reduced from 77.57 cents to 64.64 cents per ounce, and the by-products, lead and i.inc, have been selling at a very low market, while tbn cost of labor and taxes has increased. It has been impossible for the mine operators op-erators to continue at a profit, and since mining is the only mode of livelihood in this district, most of the miners are either on relief or employed on W. P. A. projects and their sole income is approximately ap-proximately $40.00 per month. Many of these miners are purchasing homes and have large families to support. sup-port. The town is fast becoming a "ghost" camp with empty business blocks and generally run-down conditions, condi-tions, a sharp contrast to the thriving little community that It was only a short time ago. Therefore, we, the business and professional pro-fessional men of Park City respectfully request your consideration of the silver question and your assistance In the re-establifhment re-establifhment of the former silver price of 77.57 cents per ounce, as it Is impossible im-possible for us to continue on with the. mining industry completely closed down. If the mines are re-opened, it will be possible for us to substantially increase employment in this community, thereby aiding the government, the State of Utah, and removing some two thousand men from relief and government aid. The effect of the re-opening of the mines and the consequent increase in payroll and the improvement of business conditions generally, would be reflected j throughout the State of Utah and the other western states. Respectfully submitted by THE BUSINESS MEN OF PARK CITY UTAH. The Great American Prospectors Association Takes Action The following was received yesterday from Scribe Geo. H.

A Distressing Fire Last Thursday evening a fire destroyed destroy-ed the home of Mr. and Mrs. Hyrura Cossey on lower Norfolk Avenue. The home was completely destroyed, and but little of the furniture saved. Tile loss is estimated at $1500.00. And through the carelessness of thoughtlessness of a local Insurance representative, (not Jer-. ome Paxton, however,) the insurance policy had elapsed, and the burning of the home is a complete loss. The Record is informed by the owners own-ers of the home, that a three year fire Insurance policy expired only last September, Sep-tember, and the neglect of the aforesaid Insurance agent in not informing the policy holder of its expiration it was not renewed Mr. and Mrs. Cossey being under the Impression that the policy did not expire until September, 1939. The fire was caused by an overheated stove In the basement, on which a can of oil was placed to soften up and forgotten. for-gotten. The oil became overheated and exploded, the burning oil spreading, soon enveloping the home in flames. The local firemen made a quick run, and fought heroically to save the building, build-ing, but the fire had gained too great a headway. FAMILY APPRECIATIVE We desire to express our heartfelt thanks and appreciation to the many who came to our assistance when our home was in flames and did everything in their power to save the building and contents. Particularly are we grateful to Fire Chief W. J.
