' Under our Constitution, "we the people" are supreme. We are the principal and we create the Congress and make it our agent with power to act within the limitations we enumerate in our charter, but with no power to go beyond those limits. In addition we specifically prohibit It from certain acts. Under these conditions, what recourse do "we the people have if the Congress, as our agent, exceeds the limits we specify or enacts legislation which we specifically prohibit? If left to itself to determine such a case, the Congress naturally would approve its own acts. It would not pass an act and disapprove It. Thus the agent would authorize what the principal prohibits. To prevent this, we the people," In our Constitution, provide the simple means commonly provided where the principal challenges the acts of his agent In court. The court In the case of our Constitution, a federal court and finally the Supreme Court tries the case by hearing both sides. If the Court finds the In accordance with the agents-ac- t agents power, the act Is upheld. But if the Court finds that the agent acted beyond bis authority the Court so states, whence such act Is declared unauthorized, and therefore void, or in other words uncon- stitutional. If the Congress as the peoples agent had power to exceed the peo pies Constitution, such a Constitution would be useless. To prevent this and protect ourselves against unauthorized acts by our agent, we the people make our Constitution the supreme law and we create and empower the Supreme Court to construe or pass upon It.

We are not quite ready to hang up our winter coats, oil up the seed planter and pull out our rod and reel experience has taught us that there is problot of cold weather in store for us yet, but a ably spring really is not so far away, and with spring will come the largest caravan of tourists on U. S. Highway 40 that the Basin has ever seen, if we read the - signs rightly. There are now only about 35 miles of unpaved highway on U. S. 40 in Utah, and according to a recent report from the Colorado State road commission they have about the same amount, with funds already appropriated for the completion of most of it next year. Many of the new road maps will rev,eal these facts, but many will not, and it should be an important part of the programs of all the civic clubs of the basin to publicize the fact that Highway 40 is now in fine shape for tourist travel. Now is the time to start planning this kind of publicity. February, March and April will come and go pretty fast, and May marks the beginning of the tourist season, and most vacation trips are planned before that time. While we are at it, we must not stop at the pub Iicizing of highway 40. The tourist who merely drives through does little to help us, but there are many attractions in the Uintah Basin worth stopping for, and when a tourist stops he begins to spend money. Our job is to let them know about the places worth taking side trips to visit. The Basin never has, and probably never will depend upon tourist travel for its main source of income, but extra dollars are velvet dollars, and whether tourist camps, hotels, service stations or cafes we all get a shot at the extra money sooner or later, and should all be interested in enticing it to come and to stay. Spring is not yet here, but it is not far off, and it is time for the civic clubs of the Basin to start boosting their section of the state. TWO CONFLICTING TAX DECISIONS It looks like the stage is set for an interesting game of legal poker between the state of Utah and the various counties of the state. In a court decision handed down Tuesday by Judge James W. McKinney of the 3rd Judicial District, the state was upheld in its injunction suit against Salt Lake county restraining it from collecting delinquent taxes on property acquired by the state land board. This decision is the direct opposite of that handed down some time ago in Duchesne, when Judge Abe Turner sustained County Attorney L. A. Hollenbecks demurrer to a similar injunction, holding that the taxes against the property were a good and valid lien by the county, and that the state must pay all back taxes before it can acquire a clear title to the property. One or both of these cases will probably be carried to the supreme court for a ddcision which will affect some 8G,000 acres of land scattered throughout the state. Since Duchesne county won its decision it would appear that the argument prepared by Mr. Hollenbeck was better prepared, and that its case would be the better one to take before the Supreme court from the standpoint of the counties, for the decision made on the first case brought before that court will probably set the precedence for any others that might follow, or will settle the matter definitely. On this case, however, it is up to the state to make the next Mrs. Agnes Brooks Mr. and Mrs. Alma Humes are the proud parents of a baby girl, born January 4th at a Provo hospital.

Judge Turners decision renders the taxes collectible, and the state must either pay or appeal the case. In Salt Lake county, the tables are turned, and the county must either forego the taxes or appeal the case. The game then, it would appear, develops into one ,f watchful waiting on the part of the counties, to see if the state will take the Duchesne case to the Supreme court. If the Salt Lake county case goes first, the counties will be defending the weaker case. Whichever way it goes, however, it would seem a wise move on the part of Salt Lake and other counties to throw their lots together and throw their combined resources and power in support of a defense based on Mr. Hollenbecks arguments. pr.wih i ff with the laws of Utah to appropriate 0.10 sec. ft. of underground water in Duchesne County, Utah.
