When the farmers calfskin has dropped from two dollars to fourteen cents, when the saw mill price of lumber has gone from forty dollars a thousand to thirteen, shall the brotherhoods be exempt? We do not blame them if by hook or crook or power of Congress or wage boards or labor organization they can keep their wages at the top notch while all the rest of us go down to bedrock. y 'But is it a just proposition that one class alone should take no loss in the great readjustment to normality, and are we not setting a dangerous class precedent if the country backs their demand? NO PUBLIC SERVICE STRIKES The time has come when the State should interfere to protect the public from the disastrous effects of strikes and industrial disputes so far as they relate to those engaged in public service and in the employ of public service operations. He who enters the service of the public in any capacity assumes an obligation to it paramount to any obligation he might assume by joinorganization. ing any exist unutilities Public service der sanction of Governmental authority and operate under conditions imposed ly franchise terms. They have been repeatedly held by our Courts to be charged with a non-publ- ic taxation. Federal and state farm loan bonds are exempted from taxation but private loan companies and bonds of farm loan mortgage banks and associations are taxed. This works a hardship on all banks and farm loan corporations that are taxed on their capital and issues of securities to secure capital. With the tide of investments in securities growing excess and profits and inevery day come taxes dwindling, where are the revenues of the government to come from? As a matter of justice and fair play there should be competition on equal terms before the law between private capital and government activities in any line or private capital will be driven out of the farm loan business. non-taxab- le RENT c Stocholders Meeting Now is the Time to Notice is hereby given that the Annual meeting of the Stockholders of the Hyrum Irrigation Company will be held on Tuesday, Feb. 8, 1921, in the Tihrd Ward meeting house, at 2 oclock p. m., for the purpose of hearing thfe annual financial report, for election of officers for the ensuing two years, and the transaction of such other business as may properly come before said meeting, N.

As the population increases and the housing problem remains unsolved rents are continually increased and who is to blame? The rent of flats is often jumped up from $25 to $50 a month over night and it seems to be a continuous movement. The prices of lumber have come down, but other building materials have not come down and building trade wages are as high as ever. Generally speaking there is no house building to speak of. Once in a while some carpenter or contractor with nothing to do builds to keep busy. ' Rent profiteering has its basis in the absurd idea that wages of building trades shall remain double or at war scale when in all other occupations labor is working for less. The ironclad law of the union that the poorest workman at any trade shall get the same pay as the best, penalizing efficiency, and reducing hours and production to a minimum is the real cause of rent profiteering. None is better than to resolve to save something each month -- week day, for deposit in a savings account. !
