"The power to tax is the Power Development To Aid Recovery Concrete evidence of the healthy state of the electrical industry is found in the announcement that the Utah Power and Light company has decided to invest $1,600,000 for the construction of a steam power plant in Utah. "The necessity to add capacity and strengthen facilities to carry increased loads, and the desire to continue adequate, dependable electric service for our customers in the inter-mountain inter-mountain territory, prompts the decision to build the plant," said George M. Gadsby, president and manager of the company. com-pany. The location for the new plant has not been decided. Two sites are under consideration. One of them is on the Provo river, below Olmstead, and the other is on the Jordan river, near Salt Lake City. Both sites have advantages, the final determination to be made when the investigation now under way is completed. The establishment of the plant here would mean a new payroll of $60,000, besides providing an outlet for 75,000 tons of coal a year from Carbon county mines. Another advantage advan-tage would be the increased assessed valuation of the county. Led by the Provo chamber of commerce, business interests inter-ests of Provo are making strenuous efforts to have the plant located on the Provo site. The new industries committee of the chamber, S. H. Belmon, chairman, is doing yoeman service in this regard, presenting facts and figures in favor of this location, to which the company officials are giving earnest consideration. Cheap electric power in abundance is the key to the development de-velopment of the west. Other industries, such as the development develop-ment of our potash deposits, will follow when cheap power can be obtained. Although the United States is using more electric power than ever before, we are still behind other nations in this respect. Dividing the xpulation into the number of kilowatt hours used, each citizen of the United States burns up 1025 hours a year. That's a lot but the average Canadian uses 2124 hours ; the average Norwegian uses 3560 hours. Even little Switzerland beats us. There is a big market ahead for more power. Millions of our farmers don't yet know what flipping a switch means. Although we are a long way from being an electrified nation yet, we are awakening to the foolishness of doing things by hand when a cheap, silent, efficient servant can be hired for a few cents a day. It won't be long before we'll be looking back at the power consumption totals of today and wondering htrw-we ever got along with so little "juice.' Never Again The examination of Mr. Morgan and his partners, by a senatorial committee, generated the usual amount of horseplay, horse-play, political oratory, and time-wasting generalities. But it did prove one thing: It proved that Mr. Morgan and the money he controlled DID have an inordinanv influence in getting this nation into the World war. That is wrong, and it should be stopped. If the country gets into a war, it should do so thru the beliefs of its citizens, citi-zens, NOT thru the desire of one man. or a small group, to protect their dollars. In other words, we should, by hook or by crook, prevent American money from becoming interested in the outcome of any foreign war. The minute any man "invests"' a dollar with a warring nation, he becomes a partisan of that nation. If the nation is in danger of being beaten, then the "'investor" is tempted to move heaven and earth to swing his own nation into the battle line to protect his dollar. He seldom, however, shoulders a gun to do any personal protection work. That is left to others. It is easy to say: "If people waitt to invest in wars, that is their business." The trouble is, however, that they soon make it our business and the rest of us have to pull their chestnuts out of the fire for them.

Other powerful arguments made by Lincoln in opposition to the supreme court have not escaped es-caped the boys who have been researching for the president, especially es-pecially where Lincoln said, "It is not resistance, it is not factious, fac-tious, it is not even disrespectful to, treat it (the decision) as not having yet established a settled doctrine for the country." j AAA SIMILARITY The New Dealers have dug up some striking points of similarity and dissimarlarity between the supreme court's decision in the Dred Scott case in 1857 and the AAA decision last week. It will be recalled that Dred Scott was a negro taken by his master from Missouri, a slave state, to Illinois, a free state, and to wnat is now Minnesota, where for four years he lived in territory terri-tory that was free by the terms of the Missouri Compromise of 1820. Later he was taken back to Missouri, but he claimed that residence in a state and territory prohibiting slavery had made him a free man. Scott sued for his freedom, won in the lower courts, was reversed in the Missouri supreme court, and finally appealed to the United States supreme court. TANEY'S DECISION By a 7 to 2 vote, the supreme court threw out the case. Chief Justice Taney stated: "The negro race is regarded as so far inferior that it has no rights which the white man is bound to respect, and the negro may justly and lawfully law-fully be reduced to slavery for his benefit." Horace Greeley urged that the supreme court's "usurpation" of power "must be met by revolt." Justice Black of the Pennsylvania supreme court called Taney "a mush toad spotted spot-ted traitor to the constitution." Lincoln immediately made the Dred Scott case his campaign issue. is-sue. And his speeches give the New Dealers some vitriolic ammunition. am-munition. At that time the conservative forces of the country were in the south. The court was looked upon as their champion.

"Those brakes need adjusting. Red," he called out to a long, sorrel-topped mechanic who came strolling over to him. Red nodded, chewing gum slowly. "Ill tell MacFarlane." he said He looked dourly at the automobile. "Trouble Is, Mac Isn't here now. Him and the boss went off somewhere some-where this afternoon right after Itmch and I don't know when they'll be back." MacFarlane was superintendent of the repair shop of the State Auto Sales agency, and all orders for repairs re-pairs to demonstrator cars were supposed to be routed through him. Bobby frowned. "Listen, I got a prospect wants a demonstration this evening." he said. "Can't I get a special job. if Mac doesn't get back in time?" Red chewed his gum solemnly. He was notorious for a steady and nndeviating pessimism. "I suppose," he said. "I'll prob-bably prob-bably get in bad for it." "Ill take the blame." said Bobby. "You say Mac went off with the boss? witere'd they go?" "Search me. Very mysterious. Mac was getting busy with that Job over thore " he jerked his thumb at a sedan whose hood was crumped up like an accordion "when Hopkins came oat and called him. They talked for a minute and then they went away together." "Oh. Well, if you can get this brake fixed before evening I'll appreciate ap-preciate it." Bobby walked back to the sales room, wondering where the shop foreman and the head of the agency could have gone. He remembered Larry Glenn's admonition to keep his eye on everything that seemed In the least degree out of the ordi-. nary, in the hope that he could tin-earth tin-earth some sort of clew to the whereabouts of the plant where the armored cars were made; could this afternoon's doings have any connection with that? TY7HEN evening came Bobby made an hasty supper in a nearby restaurant, and then returned to the agency. He went back to the shop and found his demonstrator-waiting demonstrator-waiting for him. The red-headed mechanic was gone, but he had left a tag on the steering wheel bearing bear-ing the words. "The brake dtuirit li worn down. I fixed it OK for now bat she needs a new one.

Julius, the colored man who took care of the shop nights, was coming up with a bucket in one hand and a length of hose in the other. He' grinned when he- saw Bobby. "Boss sure got her dirty today," he said. "Told me to wash 'em up good right off." The roadster was dirty, unde-V niably. It had gleaming wire wheels, and an abundance of bright chromium-steel on hood and bumpers; and these were plastered vith a peculiar reddish dust that completely obscured their ordinary brilliance. "Now where you suppose they got that kind of mud?" mused the Negrb, bending to look at it. "Ain't no roads around this part of the country got red mud in 'em. I seen plenty down south, but ain't none around here. Nowhere." No-where." "Looks like Iron ore," said Bobby. Julius connected his hose to a wall fitting and motioned Bobby to stand back lest he be splashed. "Uh-huh," he said, twisting the connection tight. "She do look like iron ore. 1 don't know where he could of got that on him. 'less it was down back of the Empire Steel plant." "Was he down there?" aaked Bobby. The Negro looked up. " don't know where be was." he said. "When he come In, I hear him cussing to MacFarlane about the Central street bridge being closed. That's all I know." All of this seemed to add up to nothing at all. Bobby stood for a moment longer, watching Julius: then he got in the demonstrator demon-strator and drove out to give his "prospect" a spin. TT was about an hour later that - he brought the car back to the shop and parked it for the night. As he let himself out and started walking down the street to get his street car, he began to ponder anew on the trip that Mark Hopkins Hop-kins and MacFarlane had taken. Was it worth thinking twice about? Certainly it was Hopkins' privilege to take his shop foreman off on a business trip in the middle mid-dle of the afternoon, if he chose to, without arousing anybody's suspicions. What if he bad driven through ome peculiar-looking red dust? Did that necessarily mean anything? And then he remembered Larry Glenn's words. Somewhere around Dover there was a factory where armored, bullet-proof cars were surreptitiously made for gangsters. gang-sters. Larry believed Hopkins himself was selling these cars. Bobby rode home wondering about these things, and when he got to his room he hunted in his dealt for a road map of Dover. Spreading it out on a table, he bent over it. The Empire Steel plant was Dover's one consumer of iron ore. It was situated on the southeastern southeast-ern fringe of the city, in an almost al-most inaccessible tangle of railroad rail-road tracks, warehouses and small shops. To reach It let's see you took Turney road, and Turney was a dead-end street, ending right at the steel mill. Back of the plant, then? Here it was. . . .

(- traced a roau tnat oucitea nnaer a railroad bridge, skirted the rear of the steel plant's enormous reservation, running between the factory and a railroad yard, and then came out on a long slant, running off to Join yes. Central street at an angle. Hmm. said Bobby, maybe It matches up after all. The Central street bridge is closed for repairs. So if he wanted to go out here, he'd have to detour, and this back road, Pulaski road, it is would take him. But why go so far out? There's plenty of other cross streets that'd feed him into Central Cen-tral street a lot sooner, and more directly, too. Why go along Pulaski? Pu-laski? A T last the solution came to him. Hopkins' destination must have been on Pulaski street itself, beyond the steel plant. Ordinarily Or-dinarily he would have gone out Central and, then turned down Pulaski; with the bridge closed, he had bad to take another way, which caused him to go 'down Pulaski from the other end which was why he had had to pass the steel plant at a point where, according to Julius, the ore dumps covered the road with this reddish dust. His goal, then, must have been on Pulaski, somewhere between be-tween the steel mill and Central street. There was nothing more Bobby could do now: but the next morning, morn-ing, getting away from the salesroom sales-room as soon as he could, Bobby went to a drive-it-yourself agency, hired a car, and set out to see what he could see. He reached Pulaski road, an ill-favored, ill-favored, poorly-paved street, and followed it. Before long the high red towers of the Empire Steel plant loomed up on his right. His heart gave a bound of excitement as he saw that on the opposite side of the street there was a great ore dump, where the railroad rail-road cars-were emptied; and overhead, over-head, crossing the road like a spindly steel bridge, there ran a series of conveyors by which ore was moved from the. dump to the furnaces. And the road beneath was heavy with reddish dust! He drove along with mounting excitement, past the steel mill and the railroad yards, between a long double line of unpainted wooden houses, mean and disreputable in appearance. The region was a slum, and a miserable one: what had brought the elegant Mark Hopkins down here? Pulaski road went up a low rise and swung to the right diagonally. diag-onally. Vacant lots and shacks made up the landscape; of factories, fac-tories, or business houses of any kind, there was no sign. Ahead, within plain sight now, was Central Cen-tral street, where Pulaski road ended. Was this a wild goose chase, then, after all? Disconsolately, Bobby 3iowed down the car, turned aroundVand started back. And then he saw something he had not noticed before: be-fore: a cindered driveway that went off to the left, between two grassless vacant lots, and disappeared disap-peared around a bend in a place where . the rolling, tenantless, desolate land formed a shallow valley. "That must be It." mused Bobby. "There's no other possibility. possi-bility. I'll Just find out." He spun the wheal and started off aloag the lonely driveway. (To Be ContJnaed) . . |
