And a third lone decision, read by Chief Justice Hughes, dissented from the majority decision with which he agreed on other phases of the Act on the grounds that the various parts of the Act were separable, and that consider g was premaation of ture. Upshot of all this is that New Dealers feel that congress can pass laws fixing prices for an industry, as long as it refrains from passing labor provisions or It is apparent that provisions. many Administration aims could price-fixin- g price-fixin- tax-penal- ty g be achieved through as inasmuch wages, working alone, price-fixin- hours and similar matters hinge to a very large extent upon prices Thus, those who believe in the principles of such measures as the NRA, are going to make their sentiments again felt in proposed leg islation, and the potentialities are highly interesting and important. Raises Discussion The Guffey Coal Act has again raised discussion as to just what President Roosevelt would like to do to the Constitution. As everyone knows, the New Deals supreme court batting average has been very bad. It won in the gold seizure and TVA cases it lost in all other cases of importance, including the NRA, the AAA, and the Railway Pension Act. The opinion is growing in some quarters that President Roosevelt, if reelected, may go before the people and ask for an amendment to the Constitution which would either curb the powers of the high court, or expressly make legal acts that Mr. Howard and the adminis tration slate have been elected by standing progressive for governor of Utah. Because of the known record of Senator Hugh M. Woodward and his alignment with the progressive policies of the national administration, it was decided unanimously by the meeting to form junior Woodward for governor clubs in all sections throughout the state and to organize the young Democrats of the various communities for the purpose of securing his nomination at the state convention. Speakers in the meeting deplored the fact that Utah had sent away over 30,000 of its young people during the last ten years, which indicates that under the .present regime opportunities for the youth The Worker Pays If you think the rich pay all the taxes, and the rest o:! us receive all the bounty of gov' ernment for nothing, here are some Typo Auxiliary facts that will disillusion you.

"We have already started out to do legislative work for our new lodges among state, county, and municipal employes as we have been doing right along for our members employed in the U. S. government, said Claude Babcock, president of the American Federation, of Government Employes. "Since our recent authorization by the A. F. of L. to organize this new field of public service, he said, we have received applications for charters from a dozen such groups. These cover all sorts of clerical employes and other employes locat. ed in states all over the country, who are not under jurisdiction of other national or international unions. It is expected a large number of employes in state, county, and municipal departments will join up within a short time. It has been predicted there will be some 250 local unions of these new groups in existence by the time of the next national convention in Detroit, in September Certainly, explained Mr. Babcock, we have made a fine start and right now we are anxious to get in touch with a considerable number of active men and women who are employed everywhere in of the state are decreasing rather than increasing.

The communists openly admit the use of any and all means, legal or illegal, or a combination of both, to bring about the objective that they seek. Their efforts in this country are not confined merely to expression or academic discussion. Practical efforts are being made in every conceivable way to create dissatisfaction and discontent and to capitalize on it wherever it exists in order to produce emotional results that will aid them in furthering their cause. e, President Roosevelt Sharpen Your Pencils!

I have made a conscientious effort to discharge the duties of my office with fidelity, guarding at all times the best interests of the people of our state. In addition to the normal demands upon the attorney general, the depression brought to my office many new and difficult problems, thereby increasing the work more than twofold. Notwithtand-in- g this, I have operated the office at an expense reduction of 32 per cent over the last biennium of the previous administration without sacrifice of efficiency.

They have advertised and publicized the benefits of higher milk consumption for both children and adults claims which are supported by recognized authorities on diet.
