Provos gross sales for liquor reaches 110,000 annually. What a boost that would give this city if 10 per cent of the sales were returned to the city for law enforcement and educational work gainst liquor, argued the mayor. At present all the profits go to the state, but the cities have to carry on the burden of enforcement. The fair thing to do t to set aside a percentage of these sales to every city to aid their work of education and law Mrs. John E.

Angeles to be held June U n, The vote Tuesday was not a personal matter at all so far as I can see. I feel that the Municipal Power question was the issue, and the people have expressed themselves again in favor of it. I could not conscientiously vote for it, and my convictions have not changed. I am ready to abide by the decision of the majority, and if at any time in the future I can be of service to my fellows or my community I shall be happy to give such service. I have many friends here whose opinions differ from my own, but that in no cause for enmity or dislike. Signed, Walter P. Whitehead. was partially a vindiMayor Andersons could but cation of the power issue, easily be construed of very efficient term his first back for as a pat on the for he was a Mr. Haws so for Not city administration. in any construed cannot be new man, and his election vote for the municipal power other way than a direct alplant. It therefore may well be said that Provo has vote second ready voted twice on tbe power question, the being another vindication of municipal power. We concede all men their honest opinions. There are plenty of arguments for and against the Municipal Power issue. It would be easy for us to work toward removing government from all business, and give to private enterprize tbe rights and privileges accruing from their own initiative, and get back to the first principles of industry and business which have built this great nation, and which today seems dizzy because of government manipulation and interference in almost every line of human endeavor.' On the other hand, we feel an urge and an insistence within us to go the whole way with democracy. It is world. Defeat democracy in our one hope in a war-tor-n America and we defeat ourselves and our own lives and all our fathers lived and Med for. We see the attempt right here in Provo to defeat that will of the people by misconstruing the issues, by defeating the voice of the people already expressed, in this power question. Right or wrong we are with the people, because ultimately the people are always right, even if they are wrong, for they pay the bill, and in the long run, manage things to their own advantage. They may err at first, and for even a general inn or two afterward, but the history of the world shows how true the pulse of the people always beats. Furthermore most of the misadventures of democracy have teen due to some demagogue who has deceived them, leading them astray for a time, but always they find their way back, as did France after the reign of terror. Let it be understood then, that the issue today in Provo is not the Power issue any longer. That was settled several months ago, for the last time. The issue now is Shall the people of this city govern themselves? Shall their elected representatives carry on and complete the mandate of the people?

VIVIAN Trio, Returning From Fishing Trip, Meet With Mishap When 200 Yards From Shore Gin First let us say this that had the people voted AGAINST the municipal power plant in the first place the issue would have been as dead as a door nail, and not one of the city commission or any proponent of a municipal plant would have dared raise a finger to institute any proceedings to stop the present power company from performing its present services. The election results would have been held sacred, and the opponents of municipal power would have rejoiced in the issue being settled, regardless of how small that majoritymight have been. Now that the shoe is on the other foot, every avail able reason and psuedo-reaao- n is being invoked to prevent the election results from being put into effect. This situation, this threat to democracy, is not half so alarming at first sight as it becomes when one considers the second test of strength which took place last fall in the election of Mr. Jesse Haws over Commissioner Walter P. Whitehead. No one charged Mr. Whitehead with delinquency, or with any disability for public office, except that he could not see eye to eye with Mayor Anderson and Commissioner J. P. McGuire on the Power question.
