Lasted assets, the comment com-ment was started, but the ex- mittee said, at the end of 1936 pression was prevalent that "some J were $675,263.27, with Liabilities of the boys would like to." Has Partisan Flavor Various interpretations were placed on the investigation by legislators. No one who aired his views wished to be quoted, but gave his statement in aquasi-cff aquasi-cff the record manner. The prevalent interpretation was that, the entire investigation was partisan, and directed against one branch of the Democratic party in Utah the part which looks to the administration for its support. The two hardest, hit branches of state government were the liquor control commission and the public service agency. Reorganization Re-organization of both commissions was recommended in the investigation investi-gation committee's report. Urgent needs of new policies, more cooperation, efficient keeping keep-ing of records, and drastic changes in personnel were cited in the report which, when completed, com-pleted, will number more than a.OOO typewritten pages of testimony testi-mony and evidence taken by the Investigators. The investigating committee pointed out that during the operation oper-ation of the state liquor business, the commission has handled a total transaction list amounting to more than five and one-half SUFFERED 40 YEARS FROM CONSTIPATION "For 40 years, I had been praying pray-ing for a lasting remedy for constipation con-stipation and its evils.

Find No Policy The investigators charged that the commission has never organized organ-ized a commission and has never formulated regulations or resolutions resolu-tions necessary for carrying out provisions of the liquor control act. The committee found that no definite policy of administration of the act was ever established or officially acted upon by the liquor commission as a whole. Neither could any official record of any meeting of the entire commission be found. No report of expenditures, the investigators said, was listed in the commission's minute books. Neither could any form 6f employes em-ployes payroll be discovered. Lack of cooperation with other departments of state was charged, and investigators said the commission com-mission had apparently set itself up as an independent branch of state government. The commission continued to employ attorneys beyond the time (July 1, 1936) that the commission commis-sion had decided to discontinue monthly retainer fees and pay on a service fee basis, the committee commit-tee charged. Investigators cited trials which have been dragged out for an unusually long time in state courts. Employed 9 Attorneys Over a period of less than two years, the commission has employed em-ployed nine attorneys and hak paid them $34,215.35, the committee commit-tee said. The liquor commission is still employing attorneys by the month, and is paying out $1,440 on this basis. Investigators said they Were convinced that a system of pay-eft, pay-eft, 'inviting payments of money 10 attorneys and others claiming to have influence for services involved in-volved in procuring beer licenses was prevalent and that persons connected or supposed to have influence in-fluence with them (the liquor commission) would nake bids and would, in many instances, receive money directly or indirectly for supposed services and influence in negotiating for and procuring beer licenses. It was charged that persons found guilty of selling hard liquor and thereby deprived of the right to have a beer license, had turned operation of their business over to other persons temporarily, ob tained a beer license in that manner, and then had--continued to stav in business 'These facts were known to the enforcement division of the liquor control commission . . . the licenses of such persons were I never revoked, but were continued I and are now being continued and the business actually operated by persons disqualified by law to hold a beer license," the report stated.

Couple Recover From Crash Hurts SPANISH FORK Friends here have received word that Mr. and Mrs. James H. Tolhurst of this city who are spending the winter at Sulphur Dale, Utah, are recovering recov-ering from a serious automobile accident, which occurred recently near Beaver. The automobile in which Mr. and Mrs. Tolhurst and their small son and daughte.r were riding was sideswiped by a truck and the whole side of the Tolhurst car was demolished. Mr. Tolhurst suffered a fractured knee and cuts and bruises and Mrs. Tolhurst a severe cut on -her head, both suffered from shock. The children, Jimmie 5 and Kath-erine Kath-erine seven, escaped injury as they were asleep on the back seat and covered with a heavy robe. ulate placing of gambling devices and slot machines in beer parlors Testimony which indicated that unusually large sums had been paid for beer licenses, and that in one instance a check for $50 had been given a commission at torney to "help" Charles Oliver of Murray get a beer license, was cited in the report. The investigating committee said that lack of cooperation among the commissioners and the resulting failure to properly ad minister the act has . . . "tended to destroy public confidence in the liquor law and its enforce ment ..." It was said that the commit tee had not received support and cooperation expected from the purchase and enforcement departments depart-ments of the liquor commission during the investigation. .Severe criticism was levied against the public service commission. com-mission. The committee said, "The committee finds that there is no fixed or definite policy in the de partment; the commission has been satisfied to settle minor complaints com-plaints without regard to the more important subject of fair rates to the general public; the evidence justifies the inference that discriminatory rates have in fact existed between certain cit ies based upon the accepted theory that increased rates are justified in the larger cities because of the greater and more extended service, while at the same time contrary to such theory, a higher rate exists in the cities of lesser population. Complete reorganization of the commission and a change of per sonnel was recommended. PARKS TOO LONG Jack Da vies forfeited bond of $2 for overtime parking in city court Tuesday. !

"Be efficient in what you do . . . in short, do not drive your tacks with a sledge-hammer. There is a better, less fatiguing, way. Find out how easily you can do things well, and take pride in such skill," he advised. "Do not accept hurry as a necessary part of modern life quality of work, not quantity, spells success; and quality is de stroyed by hurry," Professor Poul-. son said. The worst enemy of efficiency, as well as the best ally of nervousness, nerv-ousness, is worry. He defined worry as a complete circle of inefficient in-efficient thought whirling about a pivot of fear. To. avoid worry, consider whether wheth-er the problem in hand is actual ly your business. If it is not, turn to something that is. If it is your business, decide next whether it is your business now. Keep work, play rest and exercise ex-ercise In their proper relative proportions, the educator stated, not only in the space of decades but year by year and day by day. Such a life, he announced, absorbs emergencies without strain. COURT CHANCE FOES SCORED (Continued frem Page one! 70-year retirement age refuse to leave the bench. . It was learned that tonight's chat will deal with: 1. Need for court legislation now. 2. Difficulties of the constitutional constitu-tional amendment process. 3. An independent judiciary. 4. Need for reinvigoration of the federal courts from top to bottom. It is understood the president will advance the argument that the court must be infused with vouneer men to intemret the f constitution as the president be lieves it to have been written, rather than to write into it other political and economic policies. poli-cies. Some Democrats are becoming critical of administration methods in the court contest. There is evidence evi-dence of resentment against activity ac-tivity of cabinet officers. Sen. William H.
