Many leading Salt Lake business firm representatives will tell anyone who desires to ask that residents in American Vnrlf An tnnro l-incinpss in Salt T.aVp CAtv than Hwq nnv nthpr of the smaller communities not in the metropolitan area. The ironic part of this situation is the fact that almost without exception the majority of the buyers who purchase merchandise in Salt Lake City, do so before even so much as investigating commodities and their prices in American ik. , trjip Many local places of business have reported that local buyers who have purchased commodities in the bigger cities, have, returned to investigate local prices and have been dismayed dis-mayed to find that they could get exactly the same item here for the same price. They didn't bother to contact local merchants merch-ants and investigate instead they traveled the miles to Salt Lake City and contributed to its wealth. It's time residents of our city ask this question: "Am I going to support my city and help it grow or am. I going to continue to pour money into bait Lake Hty and rrovo ana delight in their growth while my city struggles for a mere existence?"

American Fork, Utah Bosdne Sponsors Law to Tak6 Indians Off Control The House of Representatives voted recently to start the wheels turning to take the American Indian off government ward- snip and give him the same fights and privileges as other American citizens. Tne legislation, which was sponsored by Rep. Reva y Beck Bosone, (Utah-D) received ac tlve non-partisan support, and was described by one house member mem-ber as "the most forward-look ing measure that has come out of the eighty-first congress." The bill also received the strong endorsement of Secretary of the Interior Chapman, and is the subject of a favorable editorial In The Saturday Evening Post of July 29. Under Mrs. Bosone's bill, the Interior department would make a study of the qualifications of Indian tribes, bands and groups, and would report which are now ready to manage their own af fairs, and which are not. In the case of those who are, they would draft proper legislation. In the case of those who are not, they would tell why, and suggest a possible date when they might be ready. Deadline for sending the first Information to congress is January 1, 1951; the remainder must be transmitted by January 2, 1952. Rep. Bosone emphasized that her bill would not interfere with existing treaties, and that help would not be withdrawn from Indians at a rate which would deprive them of any of the services serv-ices they need.
