Show PAGE TWO L. D. S. Hospital Project Is Gaining Wider Support )- BY BETTY BROOKE Editor's Note: This is the fourth of a series of articles giving expression to local opinion concerning the proposed pro-posed L D. 8. hospital in Provo. Whole hearted praise is given the movement for a hospital in Provo, by leading Provoans. The I. D. S. church proposes to erect a $150,000 hospital if the city will contribute $60,000 locally. Mayor Mark Anderson announces Provo city will contribute con-tribute 15,000 to the project. The remaining $45,000 must be raised by popular subscription. To the question How and why lih yojir. opinion will the proposed IjCl. S. hospital benefit Provoans? Provo-ans? the following answered: Dr. Iceland K. CuUimore: "This is about the only city of its size in the United States that doesn't have facilities for taking care of the sick modern facilities. That reason alone should hurt the pride of the people of the district to wintmg a hospital. "With a modern hospital" taking tak-ing care of the sick and indigent (which is now being done in the homes) could be done more effectively effec-tively and satisfactorily to both the parents and relatives of the patients and physicians with much less dissatisfaction. number of people who are now rather jeopardized jeo-pardized because of the lack of facilities would have a much better chance to live." Dr. Sidney B. Sperry: "From a business standpoint, it will bring many professional people here. It is going to make necessary the bringing of lots of supplies here, and bringing business to the town. People down south will be more likely to stop here in Provo than going on to Salt Lake City. "And then it's going to im prove facilities and help with the health of the youngsters in the county. If offers wonderful facili ties for the city, and people of the county generally, to have the remedial physical defects of their children taken care of. "From the standpoint of child welfare I can say many things. It will make people of the city and county more health conscious. And it means that these young sters in school can have better clinical diagnosis. Child welfare committees can get all the facili ties of the hospital at a reasonable reason-able price. "From the humanitarian stand- ' point there can be no argument I but in its favor. When dealing J with the pains and ills of people j there is nothing we can do that Nould be more Christian-like than when we can give a better service serv-ice to our fellows. It can be done in no better way than thru the hospital. With the coming of a hospital a considerable group of people will be attracted here who are much above the average in culture and education. Thus our cultural and educational planes will be raised considerably." BPW Child Health Work Progressing The present project feature being be-ing conducted by the Provo Business Busi-ness and Professional Women in an effort to swell the Provo City Child Health program funds is meeting with great success, according ac-cording to Amelia Buckley ,and Mrs. Amanda Banks, co-chairmen. co-chairmen.

But we would rather you told us than have Congress ell you what you should say, if you had a chance to speak. Some of us don't like gossip- of hearsay, anyhow. any-how. We want to hear you tell : us your story. The word of Congress Con-gress about you doesn't satisfy us. Amendment, Natural Process j Now the strange thing , about all this is that you aren't asked to speak. Why not? I'm inclined to"beHeve it's because you'll say "No"; that you guess government govern-ment is powerful enough already, and that what powers you have kept to date you think you'd better bet-ter keep a while longer. But it is odd, isn't it, that you aren't asked? The Constitution is clear enough on that matter. It provides, in a separate article all its own, how it can be amended, what should be done when a government, gov-ernment, greedy for more power, wants you to surrender the rights you didn't choose to give up when you agreed to the Constitution. The Constitution says with reference ref-erence to the method generally used, perhaps a score of times, that to amend the Constitution both branches of Congress must make the exact proposal by a two-thirds vote and then have three-fourths of the states ratify what Congress did. You might have said originally that you wouldn't give up any more of your rights under any circumstances; that you agreed to surrender part of your personal person-al rights only because it seemed necessary in order to establish the federal government, and that you'd never yield any further rights. But you did in fact say that you would give up more rights if two-thirds of Congress and three-fourths of the states agreed. No Time for "Ventriloquist" Well, shouldn't you now be heard when what you kept is to be taken from you? Are you willing that Congress, without consulting the states, and by a mere majority, ma-jority, accomplish just the same thing that would happen if the Constitution were amended in the regular way ? Do you like a man, or a set of men, to talk for you on a matter that's your own personal business. perhaps involving in-volving your very liberty ? I shouldn't think you'd wish anyone to tell you to keep still, that he knows better than you do what's good for you. Yeu can even change the Constitution, if enough of you wish, so that here after Congress can speak for you in everything, absolutely every- thing. But you're the one to say : that first, in the manner you declare de-clare you choose to speak. ; We'll all take a chance with you after you have said that, but let's : hear the sound of your voice, not that of a congressional ventriloquist ventrilo-quist speaking for you. We prefer to look at you, too, when you are moving under your own power, not as a dummy perched on a congressman's knee. You understand I have no official of-ficial standing, of either government govern-ment or any association, in talking talk-ing to you. I speak only for myself. my-self. I trust that you will still listen without looking for an official of-ficial badge. Sometimes officials aren't so friendly to you as the people you see every day near home or at work.

ASIt REPEAL OF LICENSE LAW (Continued from Page One) Requested was an ordinance passed November 20, 1930, providing provid-ing for regulation and licensing of Itinerant merchants and providing a penalty for violation to be "re-tamed "re-tamed in whole and made a part of the license ordinance." Letters Cited Supporting- their arguments, Mr. Jenkins read letters received from 17 cities in eight western states, regarding license technic. The cities were selected at random and without prior knowledge of their license provisions, he informed inform-ed the commission. Of the 17, Mr. Jenkins said 14 required no regular licenses for merchants whatever. Some states prohibit such charges by constitutional constitu-tional provision, other city charters char-ters ban such a charge, he found. Palo Alto, Glendale, Greeley, Idaho Falls, Colorado Springs, Billings, Cheyenne, Grant Junction, Junc-tion, Fort Collins, Boise, Laramie, Spokane, Ogden, Salt Lake City, San Bernardino, Albuquerque, and Reno were the cities investigated. One Equivalent - Of the 17, Mr. Jenkins found but three collected such a tax as that proposed here, and these San Bernardino, Albuquerque, and Reno charge one-twentieth, one-tenth, one-tenth, and one-eighteenth of one per cent respectively. Thus, of the seventeen, but one charged as high a rate as that proposed here. In three cases such licenses are banned, ban-ned, he found. Merchants believe the new license levy would increase their costs in that regard from two to six times the present level. Mayor Anderson stated that he regarded the one-tenth of one per cent plan as fair and equitable, and as "good a base as we can get if we are going to have a license." Ogden Letter A letter from Ogden, previously pointed out as a city where the license was effective, Mr. Jenkins read, one paragraph stating that the city commissioners "have tried charging an annual license of one- i tentb of one per cent on the gross business for the year, but it was not successful." Grand Junction reported that "under its charter Grand Junction Junc-tion is not permitted to levy taxes on businesses which are assessed taxes annually." "Not Just" Glendale chamber of commerce reported that "we have been utterly utter-ly opposed and have vigorously fought any ordinance which would place a license upon our retailers, for the reason that it cannot be considered as a regulatory measure, meas-ure, but is a revenue measure pure and simple, and is therefore an added tax which we do not consider con-sider just." Retail merchants have no license there. Mayor Mark Anderson, in a statement, replied that " the increased in-creased revenue from the new license arrangement will not compensate com-pensate for -increased benefits to the merchants as provided in the 1937 budget. "Normals the city should collect col-lect $3,636 from the property own ers on Center street for white way street lighting. In 1931 the amount was $4,356. The merchants will pay ' only 15 per cent of the street lighting cost in 1937, and no part of this will come from Center street property owners. Extra Demands "We have recently put on an extra policeman at the request of the merchant's committee of the chamber of commerce. More policemen po-licemen are now requested by other parts of the city. "We have six regular policemen and with one of them continually on the desk there are two policemen police-men available for active duty. The police are putting in ten or more hours every day. "The traffic problem increases daily, and we should have double the police force that we now have. This, however, would not eliminate elimin-ate the hazard of the automobile. A force of 25 policemen could only minimize the traffic danger in Provo. "Inconsistent" "But it is inconsistent to demand de-mand more improvements and more service from the city and at the same time oppose or fail to support the city in an attempt to get more revenue with-which to pay for these things. "Police, fire departments, health units, streets, parks, sewers, airports, air-ports, golf courses and so forth, produce but little revenue. "We expect to make several minor revisions and additions to the new license ordinance before it is printed in the book but the principle of basing the charge on the gross sales should not in my opinion be changed. "Best Method" "It is the best method that we have been able to find. We also believe the rate of one-tenth one-tenth of one per cent to be reasonable. reas-onable. It means that for every thousand dollars of cash business done the city will receive one dollar from the merchant. "The automobile dealers will pay on the cash they receive, not on the total transactions. "Property taxes should be reduced. re-duced. We hope to cut off a mill or two this year. We have been running almost exclusively on the property tax," the mayor concluded. con-cluded. Wholesalers have been omitted from the licensing provisions in their present status the mayor stressed. Rescue Party Gets Grand Canyon Crew JACOBS LAKE, Ariz., Feb. 18 l'.P Members of a snowbound party of construction workers at Bright Angel lodge, on the rim of the Grand canyon, today rescued a party of four persons at a powerhouse pow-erhouse six miles away and brought them to the lodge.
