VOLUME 6 i - SHOULD BOX i y THURSDAY, JANUARY 22, 1931 NUMBER EDER COUNTY SPEND The Foundation Of Legal Respect FORTY THOUSAND DOLLARS TO PAVE SARDINE CANYON ROAD Right now there is considerable being said and done relative to paving the road up Box Elder Canyon, from Brigham City to Mantua. A committee waited upon the county commissioners Monday relative to this matter and it appears from the reports of the spokesman's appeal to the commissioners that the commission ers should immediately request this federal aid money that is sup posed to be available for this work. It appears to a great many of the ;. people out in the valley that this is not an altogether wise move. Ever .since the road in question was designated as a primary highway there has been a great tendency on the part of some people, at least, to hurry the ON "travelers out of Box Elder County. For the ultimate good and bad that would result from this work being Gives Ady done would not "be greatly changed if ( 1 the road was paved, as far as taking H. C.

Some days ago the press association protested the seating of W. D. Hammond of Moab until such time as he had relinquished another public office which he holds. Mr. Hammond is a member of the Grand county board of education. "Comes now the committee on elections, composed of George W. LeBarron, William C. Horsley and Mrs. Leonard Cahoon, to declare that the full authority as to who is entitled to sit in the house is vested in the house itself. "The answer of the press association to this, quite naturally, is section six of article six of the state constitution, which specifically sets forth: " 'No person holding any public office of profit or trust under authority of the United States or of this state, shall be a member of the legislature.' " "We do not know what the courts and clever attorneys might do with this declaration, but its meaning seems to be perfectly clear as to the intent of the people. It seems to mean just that and nothing else, and lawmakers of course should be models in law observance. It is not surprising that the answer of the elections committee should arouse the ire of the press association to the extent of threatening to seek an injunction to prevent the seating of the gentleman from Grand. The press association, no doubt, is moved more by inherent respect for the law of the state than by any desire to display personal animus toward Mr. Hammond, for it must appear that there can be little public respect for law when the lawmakers themselves refuse to be bound by it."

Christensen And Harris Inspect Schools Wife Married 55 Years Tuesday of this week, Supt. C. H. Skidmore and board member Jos. D. Harris visited a number of the schools in the western part of the valley. Those visited were the Bothwell, Thatcher and Penrose schools. In all of the schools the work was found to be satisfactory and in all but one the buildings and general housing conditions were also found to be good, the exception was the Bothwell school house. In this school the heating system is very poor and the rooms were far from being heated to the proper temperature as well as the drinking water and lavatory conditions were found to be in bad shape. After a thorough inspection of these conditions recommendations are to be made for their immediate attention and a condition that has been bad for some time will no doubt be attended to as quickly as possible, which will be welcome news to the Bothwell people who have felt a long need of this atten' tion. In the Tremonton school, which was also visited, a badly crowded condition was found, as well as improper heat- ing In one of the south west rooms. " ! Patriarch and Mrs. James P.

Farm Board Promises Wheat Pit An Airing Regardless of whether it will bring the relief that rural America has been praying for, the Farm Board promises to do one thing that will earn it the thanks of millions of people in this country. It is about to give the Chicago wheat pit the airing that has been coming to it for a long time. Next to Wall Street, the wheat pit has long been this country's favorite gambling game. Older residents of Tremonton can remember when the operation of "bucket shops'' was against the law. Now they see the same thing flourishing undr the title of a "broker's office." But the method of gambling has not been changed, and the producers of wheat are today, as they have always been, the "goat" for these operators, many of whom never even saw a field of wheat The Farm Board promises, before it has finished Its activities, to drag wheat pit methods into Congress for an airing. And if it succeeds in doing so it will have been of service to the country, for when wheat pit methods are publicly aired somethinf is going to happen.
