Show ISSUES VITAL TO PROGRESS governor elect william spry considers the development of our dixie land one of them alio people of utah hive more to gain by working together now than ever before A market tor their resources 13 at hand and the need for their development is pressing in a general way therefore the state government should and will take a lively interest in everything eliat tends to promote co operation among all the people and the gaming of a better understanding of the needs of each section hy the whole state I 1 am glad of such organizations as the butali development league for alicy may perform a vital work for the state and can assist in a definite way the work of the governor and legislature public opinion is to be w and the more aggressive it Is the better for the more clearly public officials can then the of those aliey servo personally Per I 1 feel that the people of utah do not want their state to be a mere tenant in a countes coun tys building and that they will w ant a building commensurate with the of alie new utah for a biome for the stale government juat how a capital building can most be builta am not ct certain but that c cry thing practicable to build it will be done I 1 feel confident we have alie money in the public building fund of alie land board as a nucleus we may petition congress for an additional grant of the public domain to assist us still further with money from public lands if necessary I 1 believe the people will hotoi to bond the state and it ma be that alie legislature will submit such a proposition to them the only question in my mind as to a state capital is that as to whether it takes precedence over the matter of good roads alie people TV ant good roads it is certain aiom alie agitation of the present car and they seem agreed that a main highway is the first problem to solve to be followed by alie solving of others for special localities with such laws ai will secure efficiency in administration I 1 favor a liberal appropriation for highway building perhaps here again help in the form of a land grant can be secured STATE utah should not acao all problem of saving our natural resources to congress bo stale parks and reserves where alicy are necessary I 1 favor alie creation of a strawberry tato park to include the headwaters of alie in that portion of eastern butali to secure it a commission com would hae to bo appointed and it would hac to be ready to tike ocr the control of the pirk should congress vote to grant it out of alie pub lie dom nil then there is alie san i juan country the won thia section should bo protected from vandalism and this can only be done through making a futato park of it the government 13 to be commended for its interest in the buckskin plateau country and a game la created there it has possibilities to become more famous than even the far famed yellowstone for the grand canyon of the colorado has more scenic beauties than are located in the park the geysers and it 19 well known that travelers who have been through the yellow itono rate its geysers as secondary in importance to its canyon and its waterfalls it may not be long before we will be reforesting refo resting our hillsides hill sides according to plans laid down for us by a government department part ment that is now rapidly passing its experimental stages state activity should co operate with national activity on all lines as rapidly as possible COST OF LIVING our food supply is an important problem on which alie state cannot afford to remain inactive A ghigli cost of living mean little immigration and utah needs more people butter costs too much and so docs almost every other kind of food for eliat reason the state should encourage in every practical way the raising of dairy cows and the stocking of the ranges and the development of orchard growing and truck gardening STATE AIDED reservoirs reservoirs to open thorough irrigation the sagebrush areas return many times the values of cost to create in the advance in taxable valuations the poorest country utah has is its sagebrush and every force that invades this sagebrush and helps to uproot it is to bo foater ed and encouraged for alie means are at hand through dry farming or un gation projects to drive the dessert completely out of the state I 1 favor assisting irrigation projects where they arc known to be good and I 1 also favor appropriating money to drive wells in and regions to demonstrate whether water for culinary cs can bo located alio one stumbling block in the way of dry far rapid advance through our and vaclev a 18 the problem of water enough for alie steam traction engines that run the plows and for the teams that are required to liall fuel money spent in locating such water is spent joaq good advantage as any money the state may appropriate THE DIXIE the people of utah if they fully knew the value of dixie country would almost co to raise funds to run a railroad into it such a
