Managing Editor. - Consolidation of Counties ' The legislature which convened in regular session Monday Mon-day noon will soon he confronted with many pleas for economy, econo-my, something that must be accomplished in order balance the state budget faced with a million dollar deficit. Que suggestion, mentioned in the editorial columns of this newspaper before, deserves to be given serious consideration consid-eration by the state legislature. We refer to the consolidation of counties. When the state of Utah was settled in the ox-team days of 1847 it way necessary to have small counties with the county seat readily read-ily accessible with the mode of transportation of the times. In ):y., however, when automobiles can be driven 50 miles more quickly than u horse could go five, it is no longer necessary for county seats to be so close together. Instead of the people of the state maintaining 27 sets of county officials, with numerous deputies drawing salaries to swell the budget, his number could be greatly reduced without in any way impairing efficiency in the administration. Closely related to the consolidation of counties is the consolidation of the ciiy and county governments in the larger counties of the state Salt Lake-Salt Lake City ; We-ber-Ogden; Utah-Provo; Cache-Logan, etc. ' At the present time there exists much needless and costly duplication in maintaining double sets of peace officers, offi-cers, auditors, treasurers, engineers and other administrative functions. Som-ething must be done to bring down the high cost of government. Here's an idea. cations f SQUANDERMAN1A How Politicians Waste YOUR Money PRINTING FOR THE AGES Congressional appropriations call or $850,000, for printing print-ing various government pamphlets.

I war, about to write a rather neat little thing about how tho winter stream Kli.-trns in the morning as it flows between the edges that are frost ccatert, and thrust diamond bright little lances at the peeking sun, but there was a letter that I had not opened, and when I read that letter I put aside all nature emotions, and here's the letter.

When the pump quits, ordinary oil quits, leaving the motor's parts high and dry. You touch the starter. The motor roars. The pump strains at the sluggish oil. It is only a few minutes till circulation is completed. But, in the meantime, working surfaces only partly lubricated are in contact, while the motor makes three to five thousand revolutions. This causes 50 of all motor wear. Prevent this loss. Choose not merely a quick oil, but an oil that never leaves. Choose the oil with the ' hidden quart that penetrates and combines with the metal surfaces sur-faces of the motor itself. In the emergency of an empty, crankcase, users have driven many miles, without damage, on this hidden quart alone. This proves that your motor need never suffer while waiting upon the pump. Don't remain in doubt. Drain and refill with the hidden quart oil today. CONOCO TRAVEL BUREAU, DENVER . . . WRITE FOR FREE PASSPORT, MAPS & TRIP PLANNING SERVICE nay !Tiiee? ; SPIPEEH!!
