J Spend-lov- e, J. P. Ogden, I. W. Oldroyd, J. I. Curtis, and Peter E. WUlardson constituting the board of directors. Each county has been invited to disclose the league's policies, with a view of getting them into effect. This was the anouncement of Mr. WUlardson Tuesday when he pointed out that the movement is not a strike but rather a campaign to bring about more equitable taxes. The directors were Instructors to contact all Sevier' county taxpayers especially those who pay property taxes and to Induce them to join the league, and also to get in touch with the other counties of the state, Inviting them to Join in resolutions adopted by the organization meet- ing. These resolutions contain certain suggestions to be followed by member sof both houses of the state legislature. The resolutions are concerned with tax matters exclusively, and were unanimously adoped by the assembled taxpayers after a few slight amendments had been Incorporated into them. "They read: "Wo recommend that an- - organization be perfected to work for the more equal distribution of the tax burden, and a general lowering of the taxes. We favor: 1. The raising of the income tax rates and the lowering or doing with exemptions; that the offsets be alloted on income to the extent of the general property tax on the property from which the income tax is derived, but no offset should be allowed as to income derived from other sources. 2. That a large part of the gasoline tax be diverted to the use of the schols, with a corresponding reduction in the other levies for this purpose. 3. That many of the commissions and boards and bureaus of the state be consolidated or modified so as to materially reduce the expense of government.

Payson began the action of the game on the first play, when Strom playing foreward, but listed in the box score as center, grabbed the ball as soon as it came down from the "tip-of- f" and quietly rolled it through the Payson basket. The Payson scoring was immediately checked, and by the end of the first quarter the Nephites were leading by a score of 8 to 6. In the second period, both teams played better ball, and the score at 2 for the local the half stood boys. In this period, Johnny Leav-it- t, playing a fine game ait guard received a bad bump and a cut above the eye. Johnny left the game and left his place to Wilmer Bar-net- t. "Willie" played a nice game for the remaining two quarters. taking the ball from the Payson backboard on nearly every play. In the second half, the Juab high players hit the stride that won for the school the division championship last year and ran up the score to 8 at the end of the third period and 8 at the final whistle. Strom, Payson's keynote man, seemed to have an "off" night and did not play near the high type of basketball shown by him in the 1932 season's games. Olsen, jumping at center, hit the hoop for nine counters. Jack Brough, foreward and capt ain of the Nephi crew, stepped Into the shoes left vacant by Cleo Petty and copped high scoring honors of the evening. Jack hit the basket for five field goals and one free throw for a total of eleven points. Earl Sells followed Brough with nine counters and Don Whipple with eight. Tomorrow (Friday) night, the local fellows will meet the Tintic high school team on the Eureka floor, and are slated to win the contest, although Eureka Is promising them a good fight.

LAN ffl Logan Man Is Elected President at Last Session Wednesday ; Edmonds Is Secretary Re-elect- ed John H. Kemp of Logan was elected president of the Utah Poultry Producers' Cooperative association at the closing session of the annual convention Wednesday at Salt Lake City. He succeeds Joseph Anderson of Lehl. John A. Johnson of Provo. was elected first vice president; Jesse W. Hoopes of Brigham City, second vice president, and William A. of Preston, Idaho, third vice president. Clyde C. Edmunds of Salt Lake City was reelected secretary-treasurer, and Harry H. Strong assistant. New directors are Mr. Schuldberg, J. Loa Decker of Sandy and E. J. Erickson of Payson. The convention adopted a resolu-lo- n urging continuance of the fed eral farm board and other provis ions of the agricultural marketing act of 1929. The resolution declares it to be the sentiment of the poultry men that the marketing act has been of great benefit to the Industry, and m Sch-uldbe- rg that the farm board has afforded County Courthouse radical is like a weak tire. He may blow up any minute. ' The Juab County Commision held their regular January meeting last Monday with all members present, namely Chairman Earl F. Dunn, A. v. Gadd, and Russell Hawkins. The commission spent most of the day taking care of routine business, such as auditing claims, settling tax redemption cases, and taking care of other county business. material assistance to agriculture. Other resolutions favor an "adjustment of railroad freight rates commensurate with the prices received by farmers and poultrymen for their products"; endorse the efforts of the Utah State Farm bureau to equalize and lower taxes and reduce interest rates and penalties, and deplore the activities of poultry producers in other sections to undermine the Utah products in eastern markets. Another resolution commends Governor Henry H. Blood for his efforts to bring state government costs within anticipated revenues. The articles of Incorporation were amended as a means of preventing any relatively small group from obtaining voting control of the association. The amendment contemplates the Issuance of one share of common stock carrying one vote, to each member producer and the distribution of non-votifinance stock in the form of certificates of interest which will define the equality of each member in the assets of the association. The certificates will be issued Instead of "special" stock now being issued to member producers in return for the a on eggs made by dozen scale-o- ff the association for financing purposes. The annual report submitted by manager of the association, showed a ratio of assets to liabilities of better than four to one, which, he said, represents by far the strongest financial condition ever shown by the association. Current assets are shown by the report to be $926,206.55. with total liabilities but $215,913.45. Benjamin Brown, eastern sales of the association repesentative urged that Utah producers obtain a patented trade mark for their eggs which would prevent the substitution of inferior grades in the New York market. He cautioned against washing eggs, declaring that washed eggs spoil easily. They should be cleaned in some other way or precautions taken to prevent their becoming soiled, he said. Mr. Brown said that some form of regulation of agricultural production seems to be inevitable. If the domestic allotment bill, now before congress, Is enacted, It will be highly desirable to have Utah's egg output built up to 2000 carloads a year before the plan goes into effect, he said , Governor Blood, the principal at the morning session, despeaker clared the poultry Industry is of great Importance to the state, and Utah must have more such industries if it is to survive. From a negligible factor the cooperative association has built up the pultry industry to a point where it brings in as much money as the entire livestock industry, he said. J. M. Macfarlane, a director of the Utah State Farm bureau, urged to all cooperative organizations stand together in working out their problems on legislation, tariff, railroad rates and the administration of public affairs. Other speakers were J. L. Weld-ma- n, president of the Tremonton Poultry association, and John H. Wootton, a prominent poultry producer of American Fork. Clyde C. Edmunds, To Sponsor Program The Seventies Quorum will have charge of the complete program at next Sunday's Sacrament meeting in the Nephi ward.
