Faced with the edict from the governor, who is the chief budget officer of the state, that no deficits will be allowed, al-lowed, the hospital board recently was compelled to revamp the budget for the remaining 10 months of the biennium to coincide with the amount of money left at its disposal. It goes without saying that the utmost economy must be carried out by the hospital management in the face of the critical situation. Every expenditure must be closely checked check-ed against a sensible scale of values. Every vestige of extravagance extra-vagance and favoritism must be rOoted out. Every dollar of the state's moftey must be made to do its full duty to the taxpayers. Frills and fads must be thrown out of the window. win-dow. ' ' " The state and the committees of irhe legislature which control the purse strings must keep in mind, however, that there is a point of diminishing returns, beyond which the hospital should not be asked to go. The state owes a distinct obligation to the handicapped individuals, patients at the institution who have become the wards of the state. The duty to acquaint the state officers and the people of the state with the needs of the institution rests on the present hospital administration, members of the board and superintendent. superin-tendent. They should receive the sorJport in this regard of the whole community. It is to be hoped that the employes of the hospital will not be asked to make further sacrifices by forcing on them reductions in their already pitifully small pay checks. The state should not ask its employes at Provo to give their time and service any cheaper than anywhere else. New buildings, including residences for the management; are not so desperately des-perately needed that they must be paid for out of the paychecks pay-checks of the employes. The Herald has taken the stand in the past that the slate should not expect greater sacrifices from its employes at the Utal State Hospital than at other public institutions. That's still true. The laborer is worthy of his hire. There should be no discrimination in payment for services calling for similar skill and experience. So', while rigid economy must be maintained, such economy econ-omy should not be carried to a point where employes are forced to live below a decent American standard of living. It may be possible to make adjustments and equalize the present payroll, distributing the load over the entire personnel, person-nel, including the medical staff, with a minimum of injustice. injus-tice. That s a problem for the management, the solution of which will he watched with interest Jby the taxpayers. In the meantime, patience and forbearance must be the watchword until better days return to the state treasury. The state of Utah will continue to do what's right by her 2wn, wherever they may be, to the limit of her resources Bright Moments In Great Lives Throughout the greater part of his career, Daniel Webster's greatest great-est friend was his brother, Ezek-iel.

Dan came home in higii spirits, and . (i) 9 And These European Statesmen Think They Have Troubles! Zeke was sad and mournful. "Well, Dan," said the father, "did you spend your money?" "Yes. sir," replied Daniel, with a happy grin. "Well. Zeke, what did you do with your dollar?" "I loaned it to Dan," he wailed.

W At least seven federal inquiries and future development are under effort to force down rates until use becomes universal. Congress has backed the administration in its policy of spending hundreds of millions on huge power projects and stimulating public power plants wherever private rates are unsatisfactory. Secretary Ickes has lent $r0..UM,ooo of PWA money to build public plants. The Tennessee Valley Authority, buying and building facilities in its territory, is selling power at about half the price charged elsewhere. Official warning has been issued that rate Scales approximating TVA's must come into effect throughout the land. The squeeze play is directed at watered securities, securi-ties, holding company plundering, excessive rates and other forms of financial racketeering which made the "power trust" a stench in the national nostrils. It is based on the partially demonstrated theory that fair private profits can be retained and even increased by expanded ex-panded sales resulting from low rates. TTEADING up the administration program. Is the new National Power Policy Committee, cliairinaned by Secretary of Interior Harold Ickes and staffed by members of federal groups dealing with power and the utilities. The Roosevelt Federal Power Commission, loaded with progressives, progres-sives, is engaged in three inquiries which will gather essential ammunition. am-munition. First is the congressional mandate, sponsored by Senator George W. Morris of Nebraska, to make the first complete compilation of til electric light and power company rates charged in every town and elty. U'PC is also studying costs of generation, transmission, and dis- tribution the third a cost carefully concealed by electricity companies and, under executive order, is engaged in a national survey of all power resources and economic feasibility of each. The Federal .Trade Commission received from the last Congress permission to continue its utilities investigation until 1936, when it will have made a report and recommendations for strict federal regulation. It has more companies to investigate. And the TVA is checking on local power rates in many cities, sincf it must approve them before It will agree to seil locally through the Electric Home and Farm Authority its cheap electric ranges, refrigerators, beaters and other appliances.
