The monthly publication of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce is called Southern California Business." The vision and business foresight of the organization that publishes it is evidenced on the title page which says Southern California Business and in no way limits the record of progress and activity covered by the publication to the City of Los Angeles or the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce. In all of Southern California there is no organization that works harder for the industrial development of its home city than does the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, but realizing that the future growth of Los Angeles depends on the trade it can draw from surrounding territory, the program of the organization seems to be big enough to be willing to help in putting over projects in all of SouthEROAD-MINDE- HELP BOOST D ADVERTISING RATES.

The majority of these speeches are in reference to one particular law which is unpopular with the majority of the male voters of the state and impossible to ever enforce. There are a hundred other laws, though, that are worth while in being enforced and the press should point out some of these at this time. One of the laws is the placing of a light on every farmers vehicle, when it is being used at night. wagon of horse-drive- n This is not alone for the benefit of the autpmobile driver but a safety precaution for every person in a vehicle. Another law along the same line is something that should be again called to the attention of everyone who uses the roads in the g vestate, by the newspaper. The law reads that the hicle should keep to the far right of the road. Many farmers and n drivers of vehicles, such as trucks, wagons persist in keeping in the middle of the road which is not only danmachine. The law gerous to them but the driver of the g vehicle and should be under is for the benefit of the stood. On the subject of the cigarette law, about the only thing tha' this law accomplished was the taking away from the various pub dicity mediums of the state of Utah of about fifty thousand dollan a year. Just as many cigarettes are being smoked, dealers are mak ing just as much profit, but no advertising is done within the state Your ethics may be against the smoking of cigarettes and it is not the wish of the officers of the association to say anything or do anything that might be contrary to your ethics. This matter was called to your attention as a matter of business and a matter of fact and for no other reason. Utah State Press Association Bullentin.

An order of the interstate commerce commission cutting freight rates was followed by an order of the wage board making a cut in wages of certain groups of shop workers on the railroad. This is a square battle of the government for the enforcemen; of its own laws and the people who get freight reductions cannot at the same time pay wages up at war figures. If the strike wins it is the first step in a revolution that will extend the same policy of overthrow to all large industries, and force the farmers themselves to pay high wages on low prices for products. The railroads are advertising for men to take places of thosr who are seeking to nullify the authority of Congress, at wages running from 63 to 71 cents an hour, and 47 cents for mere helpers. Every man who steps into the breach of a deserter and repudi-ato- r of national authority is entitled to the fullest protection of state and federal government as a patriotic defender of law and order. The national railroad strike in defiance of constituted authority is a prelimintary blow to destroy American transportation systems to cripple industries and business, only to be followed by bolshevism That is THE PLACE TO START. From Oregon, from California, from Colorado, from Washing ton, from Idaho and Utah, as well as other western states, come direct demands for reduction in government overhead and taxation Leaders in business and industry realize that money for future development will be more difficult to get if the tax load is not reduced, and a better opportunity allowed for profitable returns. With every political subdivision from school district to the bonds which reUnited States government itself issuing lieves the holder from paying his just share of tax burdens from income received, it is becoming constantly more difficult to secure money, for productive industry which furnishes employment but is burdened with every known form of taxation. The first step to equalize the tax load should be an amendment to our present laws which would do away with the further issuance of tax exempt securities. President Harding advocates such a measure and the American Bankers association has expressed itself as favorable to the change. Here is a specific point to start to remedy the tax situation. tax-exem- Putting over the fourth annual co of the American Legion, Department of Utah, which will be held in Logan, September 21st, 22nd and 23rd, as the biggest convention of the state this year is a task which nas been assigned by the department officers to Logan Post No. 7 and this post has organized very thoroughly to do it. There is no detail incident to conventions that has not or will not have received the greatest attention. One hundred and fifty legion-laire- s of Logan are going to show the Utah Legion members an l their Auxiliary that Logan knows how. and every member of the Legion and his family and friends are invited to see how it is done. To put over the convention requires committees properly guided and for his duty Wm. Wesley Anderson has been selected by Department ComWes is genmander B. W. Black. eral chairman the man who doesnt work himself but sees that his committees work. Entertainment is the biggest item in connection with the convention outside the business of .he convention itself and to supervise entertainment Harold Happy Brangham has been chosen. Happy s a past commander of the Logan He doesnt post and knows how. dance or frolic himself so that means .hat others will get a chance to 4tt it. In order to put on entertainments and properly put over the entire convention, money, and lots of it, is necessary, so L. Boyd Hatch, who inherited an appreciation for mercenary things being the son of a banker, .ias been selected to head the finance committee and raise more than a few hundred dollars. Adequate housing of the delegates and Legion visitors during the convention and providing a real Logan reception for them is ay no means the smallest job so Judge L. E. Nelson was picked for chairman of the Reception and Housing committee. Lou has all his legal powers already mustered in thinking out his problems which means they will be solved. Getting railroad rates ,or delegates who are not going to Irive in automobiles and providing automobile transportation in Logan and into Logan Canyon is a job that Henry B. Johnson has to put over rnd Hen has proven himself capable long since. To tell the whole world about the Legion convention is a work assigned to R. L. Olsen, Logan newspaperman, and Rays typewriter is now busy turning out copy for the press. Kirke M. Decke er, the adjutant of the being secretary of the general committee and every So thats the line-u- p that is charged with the duty of 'making the Fourth Annual Convention of the American Legion, Department of Utah, a great success and each knows it, so he is already working. The three days of the convention in Logan are going to be crowded full of activities. When stern business does not occupy the minds of the Legionnaires, fickle fun will. Thats already been decided upon by the committee. The biggest event will be the grand outing into Logan Canyon, twelve miles up, where a big feed, games and stunts of a unique nature in the vigorous, cool mountain air will take years off the age of each one who takes part. All Legionnaires who have performed Distinguished Service for the Legion will get a chance to be initiated into the mysteries of the Legions great inner circle, La Societe des 40 Hommes et 8 Cheveaux, during one of the nights of the convention. The degree team of Vioture Locale No. 286 of Cache county will put on the initiation. Both those who like to dance and those who do not will have to trip to some real peppery and jazzy music at least one night of the three in one of Utahs best dance halls. Strict censorship and immature plans prevent mention of other little things that are going to add zest to the convention. Hanford MacNider, national commander of the American Legion, has given his promise that he will make every effort to attend the Utah Department convention in Logan. There will be approximately 300 delegates from Utah posts at the convention besides post officers who have been invited to attend. The Auxiliary is also to convene during the three days of thb Legion convention which means that possibly as many Legion women as men will be in Logan these three days. But the committees in charge of convention plans are not stopping at this number but will be prepared to entertain every Legionnaire in Utah, should he and his family care to attend.

Recent heavy rains throughout Utah and Southern Idaho have improved the outlook for the sugar beet crop while conditions in Colorado point to an excellent yield in that state. This means that many millions of dollars will be paid out to the farmers a few months hence when the crop is harvested. It means that the United States will have a domestic sugar supwhile being far from sufficient to supply its wants, will which, ply save it from being at the mercy of foreign sugar speculators and producers who would otherwise have a clear field to manipulate the sugar market in this country as they saw fit.
