It is probable that some of the complaints should be investigated before action is taken, in fact all should, but it seems that certain cases reported, demand immediate action. The people of the United States, Utah and Davis county, who are slacking in the purchase of Liberty bonds, Red Cross contributions, war. savings stamps purchases, food conservation and a multitude of other activities which have been promulgated by the government and the people of this nation, MUST come to the understanding that they have these duties to perform, and perform them THEY MUST. It is not alone a case of wanting to assist the government of this land, in this hour of stress and calamity IT IS A CASE OF HAVE TO! Yes, it is a case of have to, and the sooner the d slacker and patriot comes to that conclusion, the better it will be for them socially financially and physically. This is the peoples war. Not only the people of this land, but the people of the whole world who believe in democratic institutions ami all they stand for. This is a time when no man shall prosper through 'his selfishness while his fellow man is doing his bit. The man who can afford to -- come through with $10 or $100 is a slacker when he attempts to get by the Reu Cross solicitors by giving up fifty cents to five dolls rs. The slacker must alsoTremember that it is up to him, and it is his duty to treat soliciting committees with consideration and thank them for condescending to come and remind him of the duties of his citizenship. The time is coming when AS TO HARD SURFACED ROAD IN'dAVIS COUNTY During this era of inflated prices and heavy wage increase, the last concerns to receive an increase are the utility corporations, .notwithstanding the fact that their customers, as a rule, have enjoyed advance in prices to several ranging from twenty-fiv- e hundred per cent. After all, it is not so much a question of price as service, in this matter. In thesestrenuous times it is service that the business man desires, AboilT the most aggravating situation possible for a business man is to leave his work and attempt to use the phone and, on calling a number, be informed that he will be called after the operator talks all around "Robin Hoods bam before being permitted to give the number. Another source of annoyance to the busy man is to be told time after time that the line is busy. There are too many continued stories transmitted over the wires and too many party lines to insure efficiency. The telephone is the greatest instrument for speed anil efficiency discovered during the past hundred yeare, but it is fastbec5ming a great source of annoyance to the business man who wants service and wants it quick. The telephone company must have sufficient revenue to construct new lines before it can give the service desired. A two to four party line usually gives a fairly good service, but when they are loaded up with from four to nine parties, and each subscrip-e- r camps at the phone for protracted conversations with all their acquaintances, the service becomes no service at all for the busy man or woman. A 8 we see it the telephone company wants to give a larger and better service and they are entitled to an increase in rates if they will give it. The people have no right to demand a service they do not pay for sufficiently, and if it appears that the telephone company is losing money and that its management is efficient and honest, which we believe it is, it is entitled to a raise in pates which will pay a fair profit to its stockholders and injure good service to its subscribers. The following leter from the pen 01 Wiliam F.. Long, district engineer for the Portland Cement Association, lias been mailed to the principal taxpayers of Davis county: Dear Sir: Some kind of a permanent road is to be built in the southern part of Davis county for which the people of the county wll he called on to share expense of construction.. There are two kinds of roads under consideration: 1st. Bituminous road, bituminous of a consisting (similar to asphalt) wearing surface crushed rock foundation. on a 6 inches. 2nd. Conthickness Total crete road, consisting of one solid mas i so-call-ed ch of Portland cement concrete, reinforced with steel. Total thickness 7 inches. Despite the extra thickness of tho concrete and the addition of steel reinforcing, the concrete road will cost but a fraction over $500 per mile more than the bituminous road. The total bid prices for the 3 0 miles of road were as follows: Bituminous, $71,- 548.70; reinforced concrete, $73,059.10. Which road do you prefed? Which road, 'do you think, will best serve the needs of Davis county and be appreciated by your posterity? In the first place, no engineering structure, be it a house, bridge, dam or road, can be any better, more durable or generally satisfactory than the foundation upon which it is built. The structure itself may be well built and extremely pleasing to the eye, but of what avail are these otherwise good qualities if it is not built upon a firm, unyielding and lasting foundation? A concrete road is an economic a no ideal combinaton of two essentials: foundation and wearing surface. After such a road has served its period of usefulness as a wearing surface, it can still be used as a base for another wearing surface of concrete, or any other material. Therefore, a concrete road once built is aq asset which can be counted upon for all time. Already Davis county has eight miles of concrete roads, some of which are five years old. Davis county, therefore, knows something of the possibilities of this type of construction. But none of these roads were reinforced with steel; neither was any particular attention given to the quality of the materials with which they - were constructed. The new road, if it is built of concrete, will contain steel ofgreat tenstile strength and the greatest of care will be used in the selection of proper materials. - to to to fa SEH0 IH WHEAT half-hearte- gatl, before Re-- Cros3.Lilerty war savings drives, are bond and in-- 1 augurated.

In making this request the company has filed a statement showing that the increase in doing business in Utah for the past Tear is close to a half million dollars. 1 the statement filed satisfies the - Government Needs the Flour Seven inches of solid, monolithic For Our Soldiers in the concrete, built from materials of Trenches. lotah's own hills - cement, sand and stone, to which is added the extra strength of steel reinforcing. Compare such a structure of strength, if you will, with 2 inches of bituminous surfacing laid on but 4 inches of loose particles of crushed rock, rolled on the sub grade, and then use your own judgment in making a proper and conscientious decision. In making this decision, we would likc to call your attention to the fact that practically all of the permanent roads and city pavements in .the United States, of which there are possibly a total of over square yards, are laid on foundations of solid concrete. of these have concrete wearing surfaces, as well.) To be quite exact, of this total, but approximately 15,000,000, or less than 3 per cent, have been built on foundations--o- f crushed rock, such as is proposed to do in Davis county. There is a reason for this fact.- - It is because' foundations of loose crushed rock are not xonsidereit suf-ficiently strong to carry the loads of modern traffic conditions and they are getting heavier every day. Loose rock foundations may serve very well for lightly traveled residential streets, where the natural soil formation is to depend good and well drained,-b- ut upon such light construction for heavily trafficked, inter-cit- y thoroughfares, where there is always doubt as to the stability of the subsoil, is to depend upon something which is ques- Local Flour MilhfcWIII Buy tho Wheat, Grind It Into Flour and Ship it Farmers Duty Is to Get tha Wheat to tho Mills.
