Show PROVO (UTAH) SUNDAY HERALD -SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1937 PAGE FIVE J! Forum and Agin 'Em . The Herald holds that freedom of expression ts the most important right of a free people. This right includes freedom of speech and freedom of the press. Newspaper publishers are merely the custodians of that greatest of rights, and are not the owners or sole proprietors. The Herald opens its columns to the intelligent,, temperate discussion of all subjects of general interest and affecting the public welfare. There are spact limitations, so be brief! Provo Man Endorses House Bill No. 106 Editor Herald: Shall the taxpayers of Utah furnish a college education to out-of-state students at one-sixth the cost, or at one-half the cost of educating them? Is the question embodied in H. B. No. 106. I "hope that this bill increasing the registration regis-tration fee to non-residents will be passed with an amendment as hereinafter suggested. In checking up the laws of other states we find that practically practical-ly all of them charge much higher fees to non-residents. A few examples: ex-amples: California residents, nothing, non-residents $150; Arizona Ari-zona residents, nothing, out-of-state $150; Nevada residents, nothing, non-residents, $150; Washington residents $20, nonresidents non-residents $150; Wisconsin residents resi-dents nothing, non-residents $200 and so on. As we understand it, there are several hundred students from Idaho and other adjoining states attending the Agricultural college, by paying only $35 per year registration regis-tration fee, where the cost of educating edu-cating each student is approximately approxi-mately $200. Is the state of Utah so much richer than the other states that it can afford to educate edu-cate non-resident students for only a fraction of the cost? Before Be-fore the state of Utah should be so generous in spending its money educating out-of-state students, should it not first consider the plight of hundreds of our overworked over-worked and under-paid grade and high school teachers ? As to the suggested amendment Under the law, the Agricultural college and University of Utah may pass out several hundred scholarships (thereby admitting students free) to students regardless regard-less of whether they live in the state or not. The law should therefore there-fore be amended so as to limit these scholarships to the sons and daughters of taxpayers of this state, thereby preventing the possibility pos-sibility of solicitors of the Agricultural Agri-cultural college or the University from going into Idaho and other states and circumventing the law by handing out scholarships. JACOB COLEMAN. Prof. Christensen Closes. His Case Editor Herald: I shall try to follow the mental processes of Attorney Christenson no further. Arguraentatively he ia as elusive as that hero of romance ro-mance who rescued the heroine and rode madly away with her in all directions. If I were disposed dis-posed to find the present drift of his logic. I might ask these questions': What real evidence is there that a "minority" at B.Y.U. is exploiting "political, social or economic theories of a doubtful and controversial nature?" Would Mr. Christenson accept the responsibility respon-sibility of designating in these troubled times what political, social, and economic theories are not of a doubtful and controversial controver-sial nature? Is it not a fact that the element in the faculty most congenial to Mq. Chri3tenson's views is as "vocal" as any In its political prepossessions? (I believe be-lieve it is.) Where do I deny the right of the directors of the chamber cham-ber of commerce to speak their individual opinions as I speak mine ? But since I have nut the time, the inclination, or the optimism to try to discover his drift, I shall leave the questions for others to ask. Moreover. I hear the ever-present ever-present spirit of Matthew Arnold warning me, "Let the long contention cease! Geese are swans and swans arc geese. Let them have it how they will! You are tired; beet be still." P. A. CHRISTENSEN FORFEITS $10 BOND Forfeiture of $10 bond was made by Walter Balliston Friday afternoon when he failed to appear ap-pear before City Judge Don R. Ellertson to answer charges of speeding. A. A. Anderson forfeited $2 for overtime parking. k All Labor Costs ELIMINATED if you order Drapes during January or February D-T-R CO.

Donnan in an attempt to discredit President Roosevelt and to put a halo around the supreme court takes occasion to refer to a case that was tried in U. S. district court fourteen years ago, in which Utah county and the State Road commission com-mission were involved, and he claims to have "won." That is a confession that I have been long waiting for, but which I honestly never expected to hear. It is not my purpose to discuss the court issue, but since Mr. Donnan has referred to this case, and since I was officially connected connect-ed with it I feel it my duty to inform your readers of the facts. Evidently thinking the public has forgotten about this case, our puritanic and "sportsmanlike" friend displays plenty of nerve when he boastfully says' "I have been in law suits nearly all my life :I have fought a county, a state H- in rederal court and won. If you are ir the right and present your case properly, prop-erly, you win, if you ae wrong, you lose no matter who you are." In our efforts to build a high type road through Provo canyon we found it necessary lo buy 1.3 acres of land so as to correct as far as possible, some of the sharp curves through Mr. Donnan's property. We made every effort lo settle with Mr. Donnan out or court. but no, he figured he would do better by going to court, or rather than take his case befon our local courts he took up his residence in California and took us into federal court. He claimed damages in "excess of $15,000." The case was heard in Salt Lake City and he was given $2,900, plus interest, pending court action, ndt $15,000. Some years later he offered Provo City, while I was mayor, the whole of his property, about 200 acres, and improvements for $21,-000. $21,-000. Four or five years ago when the mud slide came out of Slide canyon and backed the river up. it was necessary to get on Mr. Donnan's property near the dam. v. in. no ujy auu we ptuu mm $4C0 for an easement so that we could meet that impending danger and clear the road. After the court gave Mr. Donnan $2,900 for what he said should be in excess of $15,000, he had his taxes raised on hi? property and when the board of equalization refused to reduce them he took us into court again, and so far as I know, that case has never been to trial yet. Since he has 200 acres less 1.3 acres sold to county for road purposes. pur-poses. I think he is and has been assessed too low, ana I have not agreed to the assessment to this date. Last year he was assessed for his nearly 200 acres and improvements im-provements $3,178, and his total tax .was $86.58. Now, perhaps this is "justice!" It seems so "just" to Mr. Donnan that he boastfully says he licked a county and e. state because he was "right." He praises the court for giving his $2,900 when he claimed he was "justly entitled to more than $15,000. I still think the court was more than liberal with Mr. Donnan. and I cannot figure how he can get away with an assessment of $86.58 for what he claims is worth more than $21,000. If the courts will favor him in this way he has good reason to follow his practice of going to court with all his troubles, but how can yotf figurr on any consistency in the statement that Mr. Donnan 'won" in a law suit where he claimed over $15,000. and the court gave him $2,900? He says he was "right" and presented his case properly and won. It just doesn't make sense! A. O. SMOOT. Improvements Asked For West Sidewalks Editor Herald: I think it would be nice and more attractive for the west side, also more convenient, if we could have the sidewalk along the north side of the. Foundry cemented. It would also be an improvement if the gate could open some other way other than across the sidewalk. side-walk. What do you think. West Side? SUZANNA JOHNSON.
