U.E With one man dead and other persons per-sons marooned in the mountains by blizzards, damage' from the .storm Avhlch' lashed ' California and the Pacific coast over the , week-end., mounted into the millions today. Almost all, of the. coast line waa swept by torrential rains and galelike gale-like winds while up. in the, mountain moun-tain ranges snow-fall records oi long standing were, broken. Communication Com-munication 'lines were torn down it some areas, and air, rail and highway high-way traffic . was hampered oi brought to. a standstill. The man killed was swept away to his. death when flood waters from the Napa river carried away his cabin. Fear was felt for 13 persons per-sons reported marooned- by a oliz- far as possible the background- of every official's votes and public actions. , The public is certainly entitled to know what a candidate's financial connections are. Voters Should Know . I am not opposed to stock or security ownership by the candidates candi-dates covered by my resolution. On the contrary there are times when the voters will be especially glad to send a senator or congressman congress-man ta Washington because of his investments in enterprises upon which they depend. ' Such voters will know, that their representatives here will have particular interest in looking out for these enterprises. But. the public at large ought to know about such interests. The senate not long ago gave the president of the United States the right to raise or lower tariffs. The president, during his term of office, Is likely to pass on the amount of tariff on various commodities, com-modities, manufactures, and raw materials. The public entitled to know if he has any investments in such commodities and materials. About Power Tieups . The same thing is true In respect re-spect to the power resources of the country and alt the other great natural resources. The president , can Influence, the disposition ot these resources. It is prbpeTthat the public should know If he has any Investments in power companies and oil com panies. The same thing applies to the vice president- and the cabinet of ficera. as well as members of congress. And -what about foreign affairs? Think of the great powers the president has In foreign affairs. It is said that the nag ronows me dollar. Where flag goes troops go. too. The president has large pow ers of sending troops. It Is proper that the public know what his Investments are In for eign-lands and enterprises. 1- Th annual meeting of the Utah county farm bureau will, be hejd-in Provo January-5, at which tive di, r ectora'wm be elected.

(2) That a uniform rate of reduction reduc-tion in salary be made In all departments de-partments of the county, and that heads of departments, whose salaries salar-ies are fixed by law, take a voluntary volun-tary reduction of the same per centage as that made on appointive appoin-tive officers. x (3) That the county fair be eliminated elim-inated for 1932. (4) That the health unit be dispensed dis-pensed with for the year 1932. (5 That under present depressed t. , number of deputies '.n all departments of the county be reduced to absolute necessities. The committee's communication to the county board further states that "as the state law provides that when the Income of mines is reduced reduc-ed their taxes are also automatically reduced, which naturally increases the tax burden on tangible property; proper-ty; and since the new income tax program lias not yet become effective, effec-tive, we feel that the only immediate immed-iate rel'ef that can come to the tangible tan-gible property owner must of jne-cessity jne-cessity come through retrenchment in public expenditures."
