THOMPSON., Office Manager CHRISTMAS DAY Christmas Day means different things to different people. d To the merchant it climaxes a few weeks of extra good business, bringing him in enough money to catch up on some old bills, giving him a breathing spell, and a fresh start. It is a boon to many who secure extra work because of Christmas manufacturing and retailing. It is even a great help to newspaper publishers. Merchants can pay up past due advertising bills, thus enabling publishers to pay for materials and extra help and have something extra with which to start the New Year. But to all, Christmas brings a period of especial cheer. Everyone seems happier, more charitable, more generous, around Christmas. Even the cards sometimes so hard to select and write, bring back joyous memories of other days spent with friends separated from us by miles but still near to our hearts. But all these benefits and many more would not be ours were it not that Christmas Day represents the birth of One who exemplified generosity, charity and good will. This One was called Jesus, the Christ. hard-presse- Only five shopping days remain for you to do your Christmas buying. Read the Christmas advertisements in the Utah Labor News. The next issue of the Utah Labor News will be dated December 25 Christmas Day. It will contain Christmas and New Years greetings; and other messages of interest to you. Workers Education E. A. Mitchell, who teaches workers education classes in Provo two nights a week, was a pleasant caller at the Utah Labor News office Sunday. We were interested to learn that the workers education class in Provo is one of the largest in Utah. Mr. Mitchell said the class is for the study of workers problems and when these problems are honestly studied it leads into trade union organization. The trade unions were born of economic necessity. Mr. Mitchell said that he can see a great need that the worker generally understand the aims and objects of organized labor and the purposes for which it is organized. This knowledge can be best attained by study in workers education classes and by reading such labor publications as the Utah Labor News. UTAHN WINS CAR AND CASH Suggests a Change The Utah Labor News observer suggests one change in the draft of the proposed primary law, which he thinks is very important, and which would bring into the primary polls voters who are timid in declaring their party affiliations. And there are thousands of these. Your observer would like to see candidates of all parties in their respective columns on a single ballot. Thus the voter, without declaring his party, may go to the booth, and choose his candidates in the party column he desires to support, without letting any one know with which political party he may be affiliated. Several industrial states have found this plan practical and an inducement for the timid voters to participate in the nomination of party candidates. In Minnesota, Montana and other states where the plan has teen adopted it has increased the primary vote 75 per cent. Prior to the adoption of this plan in these states industrial workers feared to visit the primary polls and declare for any particular party lest the employer would learn where they stood politically. Utah is an industrial state, and has thousands of industrial workers who perhaps would be fearful of declaring their political party in the open, therefore, your observer believes, that it would be to the best interests of good government to adopt a primary ballot allowing the voter to choose his party secretly in, the voting booth.
