HERE THURSDAY TO LIONS CLUB Proceeds to Be Used to f Buy Instruments for District School Problems to Confront Coming Legislature Discussed Thursday evening a band concert will be given by the B. R. H. S. band in the Tremonton ward recreation hall commencing at 8 p. ra. The proceeds derived from the concert are to be used for the purchase of instruments for the boys and girls of the district ' school. Those who have heard the band recently have been delighted with the progress that has been made and as- j' ' wo j rJvLr Senator A. E. Holmgren was the guest speaker at the Lions club Wednesday evening and delivered a mas terful address concerning the problems and the legislation to be taken up in the coming State legislature. bpace in this issue will not permit the full report of the talk as given by Mi. Holmgren but an outline on the subjects treated will be given. lne Direct Primary law was listed first by the speaker, who pointed out that it would cost the state approxi mately $1000,000.00 for a general elec tion . It would cost Box Elder county $3500.00. The speaker asked the ques tion, if the public thought that boss-isand corrupt politics with ward healers, etc. had become so numerous that a small state like Utah could af ford to discard the convention for the Primary law? The Musser Trucking law was bar ed of its iniquities by the speaker when ne told of how the private, the con tract ,and the common carriers were treated inthe law . He pointed out that the private carrier, such as thelarge wholesale houses, used the roads for profit by their thousands of trucks and how the farmer was discriminated against on his mile tonnage and his high license fee. In his opinion, he 8aid, the legisla ture had no right to put in the hands of three men to say who should have the right on the public highways. He predicted that this law would be amen ded. The Income tax, he said, had failed as a source of revenue under the pre sent percentages taxed arid has hardly paid for its administration and would not pay were it not for the filing fee. Old Age Pension laws will be a prob lem to be settled in the next legisla ture and he gave it as his opinion that the state would participate with the government in working out a law. Tax exemption on homes, if applied only up to $1,000.00 would cost the state in revenue $5,000,000.00, he said. This law cannot be enacted until the state constitution is changed and he jrave.it as hia opinion that it would be changed. Sales tax, retail and wholesale, proaverduce dealers tax, and the age mine tax were, also intelligently discussed and much light was thrown on these much debated questions by the senator. State Liability insurance will also be one of tue problems to be taken up as the death rate in automobile accidents has come to a point where every man tiiat drives a car should be enforced to carry insurance for the protection of himself, as well as others. This question has its merits and demerits, tue speaker said. "Have we a utilities Commission in this state ? 1 contend we have a util ity and no commission," said the sen ator. He went on to explain how the assistant Attorney General, who u iiv and out as the politics go, has to de fend the citizens of the auite, against the powerful corporation attorneys, many of whom spend a life time in preparation on this one thing. The speaker advocated that competent men be appointed and retained over a period of years ,such as Massachusetts and others have done to their ; great benefit. The liquor question also came in for discussion and the senator said he personally, would favor federal for hard liquors and would oppose licensing hotels or soft drink parlors for its sale. The senator's talk was an intelligent discussion of many of vital problems at hand and left no doubt in the minds of his hearers that he was a competent representative of the people of this county. J. L. VVeidmann was the sponsor of this program. utff- sure all those who attend that they will hear a high class presentation of band music .intermixed with solos and other numbers. The band is under the direction of C.Watkins who, during the past year, has developed a splendid organization which is sure to highly please all who go out to hear them. The price of admission is 10 cents and 25 cents. The concert is being sponsored by the association, who have been working hard for closer cooperation and understanding between parents and teachers and to help in a material way whenever possible. Their fforts have been attended by unusual success and they are anxious that this project, which means so much to the boys and girls, will be liberally m C. Parent-Teache- rs S Valley Gets 1.42 Inches Of Rain In Recent Storm The recent storm that covered most of the state favored this section with 1.42 inches of rain according to Mary Dewey ,who is in charge of the local government weather station. This makes a total of 2.33 inches for the month of November, and is 1.24 inches more than fell during November last year. M Men and Gleaner Girls Elect Officers The Bear River stake M Men and Gleaner Girls elected their officers for the present M. I. A. year, Sunday.

Wheat Growers Hear Talks On Cooperation Farmers from all parts of the valley attended a grain growers meeting held in the Midland Hotel dining room jjaoiiday evening, 'xiie meeting was called for the purpose of discussing the necessity of farmers cooperating for the collective selling of farm products and especially their wheat. William Schulberg, director of the Farmers National Grain Corp'n and Moses Christensen, president of the Intermountain Grain Cooperative ably discussed the enormous savings that has been effected in many sections of the United States during the past year through the cooperative method. A sumptuous dinner was served to those in attendance and musical numbers were given by La Von Stokes and members of his family. Producer Must Verify Beet Growing Records Verification of the production records of all growers which the sugar section of tie Agricultural Adjustment Administration has obtained, is one of the most important steps growers have to take before signing adjustment con! "acts in the sugar program, Direct": William Peterson says. This verification also "ties the record to the land." It is important, Mr. Peterson says, because although the factory records on marketings of beets are quite complete .they do not always show the name of the owner of the land on which the beets were frown. It is also Important for each grower to verify the records carefully, es- '..: LET US GIVE THANKS (EDITORIAL) SEASON of the year it is not unusual for the farmers, merchants, business and professional AT THIS in general, to make retrospect of the year that is behind them and particularly as the day which has been set apart when all citizens of the country give thanks draws near. The season just past, in most parts of the country and the world, has been a disastrous one and in parts of our state, due to drouth and pestilence, many farmers and stock raisers have found themselves without a vintage of harvest or a pennance of returns. In the Bear River valley this has not been the case and while there has been a mild threat of drouth and some crops have been partly destroyed by the pests- the harvest has been a bounteous one. This, coupled with the agencies of the government that have literally poured hundreds of thousands of dollars into the coffers of the farmers, has made a bounteous harvest indeed. Within the past thirty days, government checks for wheat allotment have been distributed to the farmers of the valley in the sum of nearly $200,000.00. During the past week an additional $40,000.00 have been paid to the growers of canning crops by the Rocky Mountain Packing corporation. Tuesday, November 20, checks were mailed out by the Utah-Idah- o Sugar company to the beet growers in the amount of $3.90 a ton as an initial payment ; and to sweeten the harvest still further, notices are being mailed to the beet growers that their acreage and tonnage are being computed for the past four years for the purpose or arriving at a basis of tonnage which $1.00 bonus will be paid by the government to. compensate the farmer who lost his beet crop through the ravages of the White Fly. The crops not affected by the White Fly or other pestilence were unusually good and brought the best prices, by nearly double, than have been enjoyed for the past several years, particularly on the main commodities. To add to this, kind Providence has sent upon the parched lands of this state beautiful, beneficient rains (in which this valley seems to have enjoyed more than her share) ; and life giving snows in the water sheds and mountains as if in covenant that water will be available to man for the coming season. In the face of all this, it would be sinful to complain and the height of ingratitude not to render Thanks. - Reemployment Found For 198 Persons in Co.
