WILSON There are probably few people in Provo today who know that as far back as early in the gay nine ties when we were but a village, there was a well established boat club composed mostly of business and professional men of the town, and, that this club was equipped with all the appurtenances essential essen-tial to a first class establishment of this kind. On the beach, then a full half mile east of the present shore was the boat house. In it were two four-oared professional paper racing rac-ing shells, brouerht here from the east at an expense of over $1000 dollars, or more; besides these there were also two single and one double scull, each of which wera over twenty feet long and so light that one could carry either of them with one hand; there were also lockers for the crews, a rubbing table and showers. There were also employed during the two or three weeks preceding the annual regattas, a Chinese cook, two husky rubbers and a trainer. And besides this just think of it a sure enough railroad to carry us back and forth from the boat house to the bank corner. The members of the club took an active part in the social life of the community as well a.s in their various acquatic accomplishments. accomplish-ments. The annual ball of the Provo Boat club was the social event of the season. It was held in the old opera house, now the armory, and the natty uniforms of the members together withfthe formal attire of their friends and patrons created a picture of culture cult-ure and refinement not so very often seen on the dance floors or today. Three of its members who graced these occasions with their presence and who took active interest in-terest in the club's affairs are well known national chanctert: of today, George Sutherland of the We Replace While Yj UWaitS Increase the life of your shoes rj by having your soles and heels replaced by experts.

Races were held annually with two clubs then existing in Salt Lake. There were two regattas each season, one on the great Salt Lake and one on Utah lake, with,, immense crowds attending at' both places. On one occasion it recralr- ed two special trains to carry the Provo people to the big town to see their rowing representatives decisively win over the highly touted crews of the metropolis. The trains would be decorated with the club colors (blue and gold) the boats would be strapped to the sides of the coaches, clnh badges decorated the lapels of tt& coais 01 me men and lent more than the usual color to the attire of the ladies. Enthusiasm, was the order of the day. ?

They are particularly disturbed dis-turbed by a feature of the proposed pro-posed state measures calling for a heavy registration fee. The inside word is that in order to smother these state bills and put a quietus on agitation for a drastic law, they are considering con-sidering the advisability of swallowing swal-lowing the bitter pill of a, moderate moder-ate federal act I VICTORY REACTIONS Overheard as the throng of $100-a-plate guests milled slowly out of the Victory Dinner Banquet Ban-quet hall, after the President's slashing attack on the courts: Voice: "What did you think of it, Senator?" Senator Clyde Herring, Iowa, Democrat and one of the "on-the-fence" group: -'I don't see how I can vote against the President Presi-dent now." Another voice: "Well, that's one speech that will appeal to the mob." Third voice: "Well, "why not? The mob's ruling the country now, isn't it?" Right Peoples iCalled Court Change Issue i BY S. S. HAHN General Counsel, Scripps League of Newspapers "If, in the opinion of the people, the distribution of constitutional power be in any particular wrong, let it be corrected by an amendment amend-ment in the way the constitution designates." George Washington. The constitution of the United States has been amended by the American people 23 times, on various va-rious phases of public interest, and there is no valid reason why a 24 th amendment to enlarge the personnel of the Supreme Court from 9 to 15 should not be submitted sub-mitted to the people for their source of political power. If the People Want It a . . ' ci jiuc sponsors or uie supreme Court enlargement want the of Congress,. because it is quicker. What if the people do not want the change?- Are the congressmen going to do the thinking for the people? Congress must not forget that the people also can think. The argument that the Supreme Su-preme Court membership was increased in-creased and decreased in the past without the people's voice is no excuse why the voters should continue con-tinue to surrender their rights. At any rate these methods of changing the Supreme Court personnel per-sonnel were used in the horse and buggy days. We have-been told in the last four years " that times have changed; that; we are . living in a new age. " Senators Norris, Borah, Johnson, John-son, and the outstanding constitutional constitu-tional lawyers' arguments against President Roosevelt's proposal are persuasive. Friends Against It Even the friends of the President Presi-dent are against usurping the right of the people to express themselves. Arizona says: "Irt my judgment I residential nrkmntmn nr -fcvh Tax Deed March 15 jecUve is by asking the people of nplStimiPnt Tflvoc Tn the states to ratifv the necessarvl AiHiquciii ldACS 1U amendment. Senator Tiding, Democrat, of Maryland: "The orderly way to secure such wider - powers for Congress is through the method of constitutional amendment where the people may grant or withhold the powers requested." And Champ Clark of Missouri: "I am opposed to the executive branch of the government usurping usurp-ing the power either of the legislative legis-lative branch of tne government or of the judicial branch of the government." It has been fundamental in the American system of government that the judiciary shall be free from domination of either executive execu-tive or legislative departments, which is essential to the permanent perman-ent existence of our tripartite form of government. Property owners desiring adjusted ad-justed settlement on taxes delinquent de-linquent for 1932 or prior years must apply before March 15, Booth Sorenson, county auditor, , announces. Property descriptions will be turned over by Andrew Jensenr county treasurer, to the auditor's office on that date for compilation compila-tion of tax deeds in preparation for the May tax sale. After the deadline, to retain the property the holder will have to pay all taxes due up to and including 1936 assessments wi$h interest and cost of deed to r tain deed to their property. FRENCH SHIP ATTACKED BREST, France, March 11 OJ.P) The naval phase of the Spanish Span-ish civil war was carried into French waters today when an unidentified armed trawler attacked at-tacked the Spanish Loyalist steamer Conde II, eight miles off Ushant, which is several hundred hun-dred miles north of Spain. Heflin .and the Court The sharp skirmishing over the Supreme Court issue has reached the stage where the warring camps belabor each other with rumors and derogatory stories. A report deliberately circulated by foes of the President's plan say that if he succeeds in putting it over he will appoint a Negro to the Supreme Court. Countei- ng this rumor is an anecdote that "Tom-tom" Heflin, one-stime Klan Senator from Alabama who is now earnestly seeking ' a government govern-ment job, relates with great gus- :o. This is the tale: Chief Justice Marshall was driving a horse and buggy along a country road, when the horse, becoming frightened, swerved sharply and broke the shaft in two. Marshall got out, picked up the pieces, shook his head des pairingly, and then dropped them on the ground. At that moment Negro who was trudging along he road stopped beside him, and Marshall said, "Look here, can anything be done about this?" "I reckon so, yes, sir," re-i plied the colored man. He tooki out a jackknift, cut down a sap ling, quickly spliced the broken shaft together. Marshall, greatly intrigued by the Negro's dexterity, said, "How does it happen that I, the Chief Justice of the United States, a man learned in the law, and i:e HirfhH'lV firnpfirifrQ t Putcd throughout the land, should on muav oiceims ),b unable to do that which vou THURSDAY, MARCH 11 FARL SMOOT HARRY BUTLER MRS. LAURA LEWIS and be unable to do that which you have done with such ease ?" The colored man folded up his knife and, turning to go, answered: an-swered: "Well, sir. it's this way; there's some people has got sense, and some hasn't, that's all." meam MERRY-GO-ROUND A YrOl f'D never dream that fast freight service meant greater saving or newer styles, would you? That it really affected your home or pocketbookr' Or that Union Pacific's gigantic "Challenger" freight locomotives locomo-tives saved you money? Yes, that's what fast freight service means to you, and this is why it happened; We wanted to offer the American shipper faster, more precise freight service, the kind you expect from crack passenger flyers. We started out by buying fifty high-speed modern locomotives for main line service in 1928. Then we spent long months of experiment to set even higher standards. The result a new type of super-powerful freight locomotive, the "Challenger," designed to handle heavy train loads at a speed of sixty miles an hour. Fifteen of these huge leviathans are now in service. Twenty-five more are being built. These great "Challengers" enable us to maintain a spcea wni and reduced the time between Council Bluffs and Ogden - the great transcontinental speedway to less than half of the former running time. But more than that (and this is where you come in), fast schedules mean reduced inventories, lower stocks and replacements for stores and shops . . . enable shopkeepers shop-keepers to pass along this saving to you, in lower prices, beczase quick turnovers cut down costs and losses. So today, when you do your shopping, buy a new suit or a gownstraight from a New York fashion designer, or even a tin of beans . . . your pocketbook will tell you the happy results of Union Pacific's policy of constantly planning for the future.

Tiiis is attributed by congressmen to the activities of farm and labor organizations who have taken up the cudgels for the President . . . Michigan's veteran Republican Representative Representa-tive Roy O- Woodruff doesn't know what to make of it. He comes from a die-hard GOP district, yet in the last two weekd he has received over 900 letters irom constituents and everyone has urged support of the court plan . . . Recalling the fake telegrams during the holding company fight, Indiana's Senator Sherman Minton made a check of all writers who sent him pro tests against Roosevelt's proposal. Minton says that 96 per cent came from Republicans who opposed op-posed the President last year . . ; Supporters of the federal anti-lynching anti-lynching bill recently re-introduced in congress are making much of the fact that the Richmond, Va., Times-Dispatch, one of the oldest and most influential papers in the south, has editoriallv en dorsed the legislation and iireed its prompt enactment.
