There are encouraging signs in this direction. Geneva's giant steel plant now seems certain to continue in opel'ation, at least on a modified scale, and Henry Kaiser plans to keep his Fontana furnaces going. The huge magnesium plant at Las Vegas will also survive on a curtailed output. Many small industries which produced war goods are now successfully switching to civilian products. The increase in small new enterprises is breaking all records in some sections of the West. The agricultural picture ought to remain bright with prices high and demand heavy. Cattle raising - ditto. But the enormous wool surplus gives sheep raising a gloomy tone. The lumher industry will have its bands full trying to fill orders for years to come because of the acute need for housing and construction. eotd mining will get going after its war-time shutdown. Silver production will get a shot in tl1e arn1 if the government hikes the price of silver from its present approximately 71 cents an ounce to $1.29. Copper mining prospects are somewhat darkened by huge stockpiles of that metal. The tourist trade promises to break all recod.rs. Released from wartime b·avel restrictions and responsibilities the American people are really goil1g to travel this year. And the travel tide is definitely westw,ud. Hotels, resorts and dude ranches should prosper. Summing up, the out1ook for the West in 1946 is not all rosy, but the general prospects are very good. We believe that 1946 will be a big year leading to even bigger and better years in the decade ahead.

Specifically, they marked Rep J W Robinson, Provo democrat, for defeat on his voting record in the session of congress which ended in December. If Robinson is the democrat nominee this fall, Republicans will ask him to explain some of these votes as reported in the official Congressional Record: On the proposal to cut 1946 spending of the state, commerce and justice departments back in 1945 levels, Robinson was ab· sent; on the proposed elimination of the European appropriation of the Office of War Information after VE Day, Robinson voted "no". Other Robinson first session votes: Reconversion tax adjustment act, absent. Transfer food control from OPA to Agricultural department, "no" give small meat packers relief from OPA, "no"; give Secretary of agriculture a veto on OPA regulations, "no"; make OPA penalties reviewable in the federal courts, "no". Railroad rate-making protection, absent. Defer farm workers from draft, "no"; kill an amendment barring the War Labor Board from action in farm labor disputes, absent. Non-partisan Pearl Harbor in· vestigation, ' 1no"; give either house the right to veto president's reorganization of executive agencies, "no".

TROESTER Authorit:y and alcohol influence the deeds of mortal man in ways that are strikingly similar. Apparently they both call tor more from the very flrst taste. Too much of either goes to people's heads in a manner that is highly unbecoming. Both have a tendency to retard productive ac· tivity and both are enemies of straight thinking. No wonder des· pots so often are called power-drunk. Not long ago I beard a story about a drunk man with a new car. It probably was not true but it was thought provoking. In an effort to back out of Ws home garage, so the story goes, he pushed over a neigh- bor's fence and sank nails in three tires. Using an axe to disengage the debris be bashed in a fender until it pressed against his only remaJnin& tire that held air. Wanted More Power Unable to make the maimed car run, the inebriate got under it with a wrench and flattened the gasoline line so the engine could get almost no fuel; also emptied the brake 8uid on the ground. Finally he lost his temper and assaulted the body with a pick until it was no longer a closed car. After that he ora ted loudly and eloquently on the mistakes of the en· gineer who designed it. How like this story is the history of our country for the last decade. Instead of doing things to improve productive activity, men of authority viewed everything successful with suspicion and orated on its faults. Well established principles of good business were disregarded. Radical ideas were used, like holding land out of production to raise farm prices. Work With An Axe Shortening crops raised prices, to be sure, but it made men idle, as well as land. The landowners got compensation from the national treasury for crops they did not raise and idle workers stood in line for dole. To meet the resulting heaYy expenses, corporation taxes grew so heavy that they discouraged invest· rnents, further retarding productive activity. With jobs scarce and poorly pald, people on government relief rolls tared better than many who persist· ed in trying to earn an honest living by honorable work. This automatically discouraged thrift and efficien· cy. It retarded the accumulation of personal wealth and hindered the starting ot new, individually owned enterprises. People with odds against them discourage easily, Geo. H. Lowe, President Utah Safety Coucil, Congratulates Mrs. Geo. P. Parker, Chairman Home Division, On National A ward. The Executive Board of the National Safety council announced today that the home safety division of the Utah Safety council has been awarded the "Grand Award Certificate" for the sn-eatest achievement in home safety by any state in the country for the vear 1945. The award made to Utah is :recog. nition of the outstandinJO! efforts of the many organizations cooperat. ing with the home safety division. The regional director of the Na. tional Safety council will make the award to Governor Herbert B. Maw at a banquet to be held at the Hotel Utah the eveni9-g of Munday, January 28th. The home safety division, of which Mrs. George P. Parker is chairman, sponsored a "HOME SAFETY WEEK." April 8th to 14th, 1945. Assisting the division In developing activities throughout the state for Home S>tfety Week, which was proclaimed by Governor Maw, were prominent church or· J(anizations, public service clubs, cultural groups, business firms, utility companies, visitinR" nurses Subscribe, don't borrow. FOOD and child welfare R'roups. The elements con!;irk:red by the judges and upon which the award was made were: planning and pro~ cedure, soundness of program, com~ mjttee and membership cooperation, public interest, outside agencv co· operation and benefit to the com· munity. Many leaders of relip:ious groups, civic and cultural cluba served on the committee and their organiza· tions eooperated fullv in the vrogram. It is estim&.ted that approxi· mately 1,600 such groups arranged home safety discussions sometime prior to or durir:g Home Safety Week at meetinJts within their re· spective organizations. Large com· \ mittees were organized in four of. our major cities to intE:nsify tb~ pro,;rram within such an~as. The home safetv division in eo· operation with its manv affiliated or~tanizations is continually plan. nin~t programs and activities throughout the state to fu_rtber home safety with the ultimate ob· jeetive of reducin.e- the rate of accidents occurrinR" in the home.

Economic tinkerers in places of authority got a taste of power and drank of it too deeply. Then they quit thinking straight. Each new raid on the nation's economic strength called tor a bigger one to hide it. Gudually thrifty people were being beggared by alms and American business bankrupt by taxes. The only honorable way out of any kind of intoxication is to sober up. Destructive strategy will buy food and clothing for nobody. Letting land lie idle is not tanning. Scared money builds no factories and makes no jobs. The most helpful thing our gov~ ernment can do this year is work to this end: Devise the right taxe.s for th-e n~ost jobs. This will automat· ically cure the "gimmies." ,, For all makes of cars GEORGE S. BENSON Sober Thought / CALL MID. 16 Earl L. Smith ••.
