Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Neal were guests at a New Years eve dancing party given in the Legion hall at Roosevelt by Mr. and Mrs. A MATTER OF PRINCIPLE The controversy now existant over the location of a proposed spring music festival seems to us to hinge on just one principle. Does Roosevelt, through its citizens and representatives want to substantiate the claim they have often made to fairness and impartiality or does it, through them, want to refute this claim by demanding as their sole right and heritage all the cream of the educational system - - - by demanding the Spring Music festival as a permanent Roosevelt event, paid for by the taxpayers of the county and made possible only by the cooperation of the county? When it was decided last year to hold the first music festival, Roosevelt was chosen, being the largest high school in the county, to have the honor of sponsoring the first event. And we did not hear a single word of opposition to this from any section of the county. While no definite action at that time promised any continuance of the event or named any location of successive events, it was generally understood that it would be staged alternately at the three principle high schools of the county, with the understanding that possibly, because of dirt streets for parade purposes and lack of accommodations, Altamont might not feel able to handle the event, in which case it would be staged alternately between Roosevelt and Duchesne. Now the claim is advanced that Duchesne has traded off its right to the event for the participation of the Roosevelt band at the Labor Day rodeo. Does Roosevelt actually mean that it has to be bribed into consenting to its band participating in such an event? No such bribe was demanded by other bands which participated, and so far as we know no bribe has been demanded by any of the bands which participated at U. B. I. C., the Moon Lake dedication or the Wolf Creek outing. At all of these events as is the case of the Labor Day rodeo, the sponsoring body paid the bands transportation expense, and at Duchesne, where admission was charged, the bands were passed into the grounds as guests of the committee. Duchesne wanted and highly appreciated the cooperation of the school bands of the county at its celebration, and stands ready to send its band to like celebrations elsewhere in the county, but Duchesne can see no trace of democratic reasoning in the theory that it should relinquish its right to full participation in the public educational system because of any such Roosevelt is ambitious to be chosen as the site for a new junior college. Such an institution for the Uintah Basin is highly desirable, and we have no reason to believe that the legislature would refuse to consider such a location, but surely, if we are to have any success in securing such an institution, it must have the cooperation and the pull of every citizen of the basin, and a willingness to give such cooperation can hardly be expected if Roosevelt definitely takes the uncompromising position it has been representing as taking with regards to such events as the music festival. No definite board action has been taken, other than an expression of divided opinion in the defeating of a motion to hold the festival at Duchesne.

GOVERNMENT - - - YOU AND I SUMMARY (As told by Byrd Trego to Roy A. Schonian) Several subscribers have raised questions regarding legal advertising. You and I will keep in mind that the purpose of the paragraphs is the promotion of good government. We understand that you and I furnish the taxes to the government so it can operate. The government makes (through legal notices) its reports on how it spends our tax money. Government can operate most effectively when it carries your confidence and my confidence. When we observe that certain reports prescribed by law are not published we reserve judgment yet find our confidence shaken. No government office can do its best work when it is under suspicion. You may remember some instances where lack of reports proved the undoing of men in official govern-- , mental positions. A clerk may have a combination of jobs. He is a good fellow and popular. The commissioners do not insist on regular publications of reports and financial statements. It seems a waste to pay for legal notices and publication of statements. For several years the board saves money. A day arrives when the popularman is thousands of dollars short. In fact he is not short. You and I are short. WTe have paid the taxes. By false economy you and I have given him the opportunity to misappropriate our money. The blame for the theft can be rightfully attached only to the person who should have published the financial statements in legal notices in the newspapers. But you and I did not insist on legal publication. In fact, you and I might have approved of the economy, not realizing that one misappropriotion usually involves more money than could have been saved. After the money is gone we still face the unpleasant fact that we innocently contributed to the downfall of the popular fellow. The experience of ages proves the necessity and wisdom of regular publication of governmental proceedings and financial statements. It protects those who pay the taxes, and it protects those whom we entrusted with the spending. Thus only can good government succeed.
