B.. 4 PRICE, Pig Iron Will Be Made Charles H. White, Elected Mayor 4, 1922, X By declarations which he made at a meeting of the Payson Farm bureau last Wednesday night, Charles H. White, who was elected mayor of Payson last November on the rethe publican ticket, has deserted demthe into and has jumped party with ocratic ranks. Dissatisfaction stat of the action the republican convention, to which he was a delegate, in nominating Ernest Bamberger for the Uinted States senate, apparently is the cause of his change of front. The subject of politics was introduced into the meeting of the Pay-soFarm bureau when Mr. White offered a report of his attendance at the Logan Farmers roundup. Mr. White said that during his visit m Logan he had found the sentiment to be strongly m of the farmers criticism of the work of the present national administration. republican While he- - declared that he had always been a republican he said that he was not in sympathy with the nomination of Ernest Bamberger for the United States senate, characterizing Mr. Bamberger as not favorable to the farming interests, but as a candidate so strongly allied with the mining interests that undoubtedly he would work in the interests of the mining industry and disregard the farmer. Thus expressing his dissatisfaction with the nomination of Mr. Bamberger and criticising the republican party for its action at the state convention, Mr. White declared that at the coming election he would support would the man whom he believed best serve the interests of the farmer, regardless of politics. It was infer red from Mr. White's remarks that the republican platform, which Mr. White endorsed when he voted for Warren G. Harding, guaranteeing to the the farmer protection against of beef, wool, foreign producers sheep and other commodities, was a thing to be forgotten when it comes to electing a United States senator. if the Mr. White declared that democrats nominated a man whom he take a neeper inbelieved would terest in fanning than in mining he would support the democratic candidate for the Unite.! States senate. He urged the members of the bureau to take a similar view of the situation. Is it to be wondered that Mayor White appointed a democrat to the postion of watermastert In this action he showed his democratic Inclination last January. He emphasized it at the farm bureau meeting last Wed nesday night. n -- J V SUNDAY BAND CONCERT The following will be the program presented by the Payson band in Memorial park next Sunday evening at 8 oclock.

Some day, said the mnyor, the administration will bo praised for having taken this attitude. Tho mayor admitted that there had been some delays, peihnps, in completing the ditch to carry the Strawberry water to the old fields, but he gave nssurance that tho water would bo "turned in just as soon possible, and probably within a wo or two. Mr. Daley called the attention of the council to rules 8 and 9 of the regulations of the Strnw berry High Line Canal company, ana asked how the Strawberry water could be trans-feireto the old field without viola tion of those rules. The rules ere Rule 8. Water cannot bo transferred by shlo or gift from the lands of one water user to the lands any other water user. Rule 0.

The announcement that tho factory would not be operated this year because of the shortage of beets was received with much concern. The Commercial elub and the Payson Payson Farm bureau have appointed committees to take the matter up with the sugar company officials. it was pointed out at a meeting of the Payson Commercial club last night thut the farmers of this section had been encouraged last spring, by representatives of the sugar company, to increase their beet production on the lul'erred guarantee that the Payson factory would bo operated this fall, uud that while the acreage may not bu as large this year as in former years, the touuago is normaL The effect of closing down the Pay-so- u factory would be far reaching. It would take from Payson n payroll of about $25,000 and would put n stop to stock feeding. It woe shown that last year 25JXW sheep were fed in Payson nnd between 2,000 and 3,000 head of cattle, and node a market fori local hay nnd grain. It waa declared by speakers before the Commercial club and the Farm bureau that the operation of the sugar factory had contributed to n social and economic development of this section of the state which has placed Payson in the front rank, . points wkiek should be considered by the officials before taking definite action. It is felt that the Utah-IdabBug-n- r eompany is ender moral obligation, at least te operate tbs Paysoa factory this year, and that if the factory is closed the farmers will feel thnt they have been mistreated and will not give muck attention to Iwet raising in the future. As declared by one of the speakers, I ti y mi i has heed loyal to the sugar coriinny and not a ton of its boots have been shipped to other points..
