Maw, but you havent seen this fact displayed on the front pages of the daily press of this state. On the contrary, anything approaching enlightenment of the people on the mutter of electric utility politics in Utah baa been submerged, if not drowned outright in the daily presentation of the newe. i , Fortunately, for the people, they are getting more and more into the frame of. mind in which they wait till all the evidence is in before they cast their ballots or make up their minds, and that la why Willkie did not win, despite the barrage of propaganda which flooded the entire country before the last election. Furthermore that la why the miracle of Dr. Maw's election actually took place, despite the slanderous attacks made upon him by corrupt politicians, of both parties, and many of them highly placed in church and educational affairs in thia state. But 'Governor Maw has indicated unmiatakeaWy his intentions regarding industry and development of Utahs resources cm several occasions, both before his election, and after. It waa in hla original platform, and bo has referred to it in hla reorganization program, as one of the primary alma of hia administration.

Development of Utahs own electric power need not be undertaken to eliminate the island conditions of Utahs electric rates. Low cost power can be brought in from any of these surrounding power projects, but why not develop our own projects, aa the Flaming Gorge on Green river? The point of all this, however, is that Utah is awakening. Its people are becoming conscious of their own interests, and that they have been hoodwinked, and bled all these years. They have elected a Governor whom they trust They have confidence in hia ability to go forward with hia program, and in his integrity to push it to a successful conclusion, regardless of the odds, and despite pressure groups who may befog hia pathway. The basic factor of the new program, they are beginning to see, is that new department of. Industries. . Some have argued that to link Publicity with New Industries is to defeat the purpose of the plan. People, you see, are very suspicious of publicity, because they connect that idea 'with the daily press, and all the ballyhoo with which they have became familiar during tha last eight years of political propaganda. But the Governors idea is not such aa at all. Pubsell to to first and Utah, Utahns, licity secondly to the 'nation and the world, is tho type of publicity which the new administration is planning. Our tourist trade alone would be jumped to millions of dollars yearly, all new money, and aa good aa crop money or any other kind, if the right kind of publicity be used to develop such a trade. In fact, the basic idea is to bring real money into the state, not hand-outfrom the Federal government to the poor little rich state, which in the past few years has used literally millions of thia gift money, making every other part of the nation poorer, that Utah Utah Lake Could Yield Million Dollars Yearly to Utah Valley Under theT . Capitol Dome Says Mayor Mark Anderson With Federal agencies already helping, and State assistance exercising the power and authority to regulate, Utah Lake can be made to yield $1,000,000 yearly to Utah Valley, declares Mayor Mark Anderson, who is leading in the fight at the State Capitol to obtain legislation which . will restore this natural lake area to tho people of this com-- brBaJfcaa theeumut Utah m unity, instead of leaving it aa a thing of prey to the brigs- - tegiaiature dsseits failure at Orasraor Herbert B.
