E. Howe to the Associated Civic Clubs of Eastern Utah, and another from engineer K. C. Wright to the board of county commissioners of Duchesne county. If Mr. Wrights letter to the commissioners is to be taken at its face value, it appears that Federal Aid funds for the fiscal year 1937, which were expected to be made available in July 1936, and with which the road commission expected to oil the Fruitland-Du-chesn- e stretch, may be postponed for a year. In view of this uncertainty Mr. Wright suggested that the money now available for graveling this stretch he used instead for graveling and oiling half of it. Delegates from the various communities along highway 40, meeting as the Associated Civic Clubs of Eastern Utah at Roosevelt Wednesday evening, were inclined, however, to believe that both the graveling and oiling of this entire stretch were promised from 1936 funds, which have not been cut down, and to interpret Mr. Wrights letter as meaning that the road commission wishes to divert funds to roads in other parts of the state, hiding behind the excuse given. The whole history of highway 40 development in the Uintah Basin is one of broken promises and vague excuses. Though the commission may be entirely sincere in this latest development, Basin citizens cannot be blamed for their indignation at being pushed into the background. Other highways in the state, long since brought to an oil standard, are receiving ap- propriations for widening and straightening, under and over passes, etc. and the latest development is the recent announcement of a $100,000 road beautification program, while the Basin roads, still mostly gravel, are fast reaching an almost impassable state. Road beautification is fine, Bsinites believe, but to them there could he no more beautiful sight than an oiled or asphalted road leading from Salt Lake City to Denver, with the bumps and dust clouds eliminated. WPA regulations for road money specify that not less than 1 per cent shall he used for road beautification. Figuring on this percentage, however, would indicate that $10,000,000 was available for roads in Utah, and the Uintah Basin would like to have its share of this huge sum. SOCIALISM vs. CAPITALISM Many of Duchesnes citizens were entertained on Tuesday evening by the informal debate between Judge L. A. Hollenbeck and John O. Watters, in the Cozy theatre, with Mr. Hollenbeck defending capitalism and Mr. Watters advocating Socialism. There were no judges of the debate, so the outcome was left up to the audience, to ponder over and decide, each as he thought best. In this respect such dehates are of real interest and value to the voters who listen to them. There is no doubt hut that both of the debaters are well read, highly interested and deep thinkers, and if their expressions will quicken the interest of Mr. Citizen and induce him "to make more of a study of matters political, a better government is bound to result, whether it he capitalistic or socialcar-wrecki- ng life-threateni- ng istic. As to the debate itself, both men found themselves agreeing on many points, both as to the present system and the desirable improvements. Mr. Hollenbeck classed these evils as the abuse of capitalism and not well-draine- d, By Tracy Defa Mr. Andrew Defa took suddenly ill Monday morning. Mr. Frank T.

In several instances, two fence posts have been cut from eight to ten year old trees. For best results this tree should be planted in a woodlot with an orig nal spacing of about six by six feet. With proper cultivation and thinning this planting will be quite profitable. It can, however, be planted in a four to six row windbreak, with the Russian olive on the outside row and Siberian elm on the inside. The locust borer is an insect that attacks this species causing considerable damage tn the middle west and the east, but has not been found in Utah up to this time. This tree is quite subject to ehlorsis or yellowing due to a lack of iron in the soil, excessive watering, or both.

Mr. Watters emphatically classed them as the very basic principles of capitalism and offered socialism as the only possibility for their correction. Whoever was right on this point, it would seem to us, could 'be called the winner of the debate, though neither, in their allotted time, found much chance for conclusive proof on this point. That the present high concentration of wealth in the hands of a few, and the resultant power of this wealth over the masses is highly undesirable and unjust, is evident. That the present form of government is leaning a long way toward socialism is also quite evident to many, but we believe with the Judge, that the elimination of profits, rents and interest, or of the right of one man to advance beyond his less industrious or less intelligent neighbor would produce a highly unsatisfactory and unworkable system of living, if that is what socialism means. On these matters everyone is entitled to his own opinion, however, and if similar debates will help to ciystalize these opinions, and bring further enlight-men- t on this and other political issues, we welcome more of them. e. 6t k, up- - side-dow- Professional has been widely planted in Utah By Paul M.

Its particular value is that it is a rapid d grower, will grow on eroded and lands, hillsides, banks, and has a high value for stakes, posts and poles. Tn poor to good soils that are this tree will make a growth of from two to six feet each year, where the elevation is not over 5000 feet. There is danger of freezing back at the higher altitudes. The wood is extremely hard, heavy and durable, lasting from 15 to 40 years when used in the ground. This tree makes rather a tall, slender growth, especially if crowd ed in a planting. The leaves are green in color and compound in arrangement. Whitish flowers are abundant in the spring forming numerous seed pods in the fall. The locust is a prolific seeder and By Airs. YV. G.
