Police estimated that 150,000 or 200,000 citizens saw at least portions of the ceremonies. Throughout the president's adhis dress ran a central theme contention that the processes of democracy are capable of meeting and conquering the nations social problems; that the constitution as it stands, provides a power of govemmeht increasing as the intricacies of human relationships increase.

The essential democracy of our nation and the safety of our people depend not upon the absence of power but upon lodging it with those whom the people can change or continue at stated intervals through an honest and free system of elections. Government is competent when all who comprise it work as trustees of the whole people. If I know aught of the will of our people, they will demand that these conditions of effective government shall be created and maintained. They will demand a nation uncorrupted by cancers of injustice and, therefore, strong of the nations in its example the will to peace.

Junior College For Basin Bill To Be Presented To St. Legislature A resolution for a Junior college in the Uintah Basin was drawn at a meeting of the Roosevelt Lions club Thursday of last week. The resolution was sent to Senator G. V. Billings in Salt Lake City, asking that it be incorporated in a bill to be presented to the state legislature. It i3 expected that the Lions club will ask the support of civic organizaions throughout the Uintah basin in promoting the plan. The resolution reads as follows: WHEREAS, the schools of the Uintah basin are annually graduating two hundred students from the high schools in Uintah and Duchesne school districts and WHEREAS, approximately forty students of the junior college level are annually attending colleges and universities outside of the Uintah basin at a great expense to themselves and their parents, and WHEREAS, more than three hundred young persons of the junior college level are unable to attend college bcause of the great expense entailed in leaving home to attend school, and WHEREAS, there is not a junior college in the Uintah basin to accommodate graduates of our high schools, and WHEREAS, natural geographical boundaries isolate Uintah basin from other school districts, and WHEREAS, the Uintah basin is a geographical unit in and of itself, and WHEREAS, the citizens of the Uintah basin are mindful of the many fine advantages and emoluments that accrue to themselves, their children and the State of Uah thru education, and BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED, by the members of the Roosevelt lions club: that the club use its resources to cause the Utah State Legislature to enact legislation that will enable the Uinah basin to have a state supported, centrally located Junior College. week. siderably higher than last Membeis of the Uintah Basin the up which piled High winds, Dental Society met in Duchesne Sunand drifts Saturday night Sunday for their regular meetday, abated Monday. ing.

P, A. Service) Salt Lake City Scarcely had the echoes died away in the legislative halls from Governor Henry H. Blood's earnest plea for sound economy and cautious conservatism in legislation than a deluge of bills burst in the senate this week some of which call for creation of new departments with added expense while others make radical changes in present Betups. Tho governor praised the spirit of amity which has been pomoted between employer and employes by present labor laws but on the heels of this have appeared in the senate during the first week several labor measures that bear the earmarks of departing radically from the conservative tenure of previous legislation. Deadlock Over Senate Seat Many of the first flood of senate measures appear designed to pour water on the patronage tree with a view to making it bear a bumper crop of plums. The left wing or Maw contingent of the Democratic party seems to be holding a weather eye on this favorite tree- - and- - is holding its baskets in readiness to gather tha fruit. The fight for patronage preference is very patently present and no where is it more apparent that the loft wing is out for all it can get than in the deadlock over Utah County's vacant seat in the senate. Tho Utah county party organization la persisting in its effort to tell the governor whom he shall appoint but Governor Blood has indicated an equal determination to exercise his own rights and prerogatives as governor of the state. Thus the first week of the session ended with the senate seat still vacant and no present indication of an Immediate break in the deadlock. The outside county delegations have precipitated an Impasse in the lower house over appointment of house employes claiming that Salt Lake county has been allotted an unjust proportion of these employes, or about 17 out of 32. As a result only five clerks have been sworn in and all others are awaiting results of the fight by outside counties for better representation, which has been sent back to the committee on patronage. Senate Flooded With Bills Complete organization in the house awaits appointment of the balance of the standing committees, expected during the present week. In rushing its flood of bills Into the upper house, even before permanent committees were named to receive them, the senate, where the Maw contingent is presumed to be holding the reins at present, is seen as maneuvering into a position of vantage to press its wills into the house before house meas-- ( Continued on Page 8) Duchesne M.
