Autos And A Garage JULY TAXPAYER ON BUDGETS According to the July issue of the Utah Taxpayer, every school district in the state will register substantial reductions in its budget for the next school year. There is one possible exception, namely: Salt Lake City, which has not yet acted definitely upon its budget. The reductions range all the way from 2.9 per cent to 32.5 per cent which, in the aggregate, will mean savings of hundreds of thousands of dollars to the taxpayers of this state without imr pairing the efficiency of operation or doing away with any of the essential school actlvlUes. The Utah Taxpayer attributes this result to the Increased activities of the boards of education in the financial affairs of the school district and their willingness to assume complete responsibility for the conduct of the school affairs. Another article directs attention of public officials to bring out their budgets again and review them in the light of the present decreased ability of the taxpayers to meet the burden. Attention is called to the fact that there are still five months remaining in which to make these economies and adjustments. of all the local units of the Taxpayers' Association is assured in conducting a study of local budgets. PRACTICAL EDUCATION An intelligent contribution to the current discussion regarding what is desirable in the way of present-da-y education, was made by Dr. John J. Tigert, president of the University of Florida, who declared that the true purpose of education is to fit the citizen to serve as well as to live. He draws attention to two schools of current thought, one of which would stress cultural education, while the other would place chief emphasis upon vocational training. He admits the validity of both, but he would not go to the extremes sought by the advocates of either. He favors a balanced program of education, with sufficient flexibility to meet the needs of each individual. While not minimizing the value of cultural studies and their absolute necessity for those who would enter the learned professions, Dr. Tigert points out that one can not live by culture alone; this is especially true of the great mass of our citizens, who must engage im pursuits which involve the use of their hands." Practical education should be planned in accordance with the needs of the Individual in preparation for his lifes work. At present too much time is given to preparing for college entrance examinations which only a small percentage of public school pupils will ever have the opportunity to take. The needs of those who must quit school at the end of grammar or high school courses should have more consideration. ABOUT TIIE .WEATHER Recent hot spells in various sections of the' country naturally have revived comparisons of heat with conditions of former ' years. In the United States the hottest spot on an average is a place in Death Valley, California, and named oddly enough Greenland Ranch, where on July 10, 1910, the temperature rose to 134 degrses.The 'record for cold in this country by Miles City, Mont., where the mercury sank to 65 below zero in 1888. Higher and lower temperatures have been recorded in Africa, and Siberia, respectively, although Death Valleys high mark is within two degrees of the worlds record, 136 degrees at Azizia, Tripoli, in 1924. Some interesting cases of excessive rainfall and snowfall have been noted by the United States Weather Bureau. The hardest rain ever recorded was at Ophids Camp, in California, where an inch of rain, equivalent to 115 tons of water per acre, fell in one minute on April 5, 1926. At Porto Bello, Panama, 2.47 inches of rain fell in three minutes on May l, 1908. The Wednesday evening, about oclock, while all the family was away, the garage, belonging to J. A.

Every once in a while something occurs to upset our Ideas concerning the kind of evidence that is worthy of credence. Such an occurrence Is seen in the case of Conda Dabney, once convicted in Kentucky and given life imprisonment for the murder of a young woman. At the trial, another woman swore to the that she was an crime, and a considerable array of circumstantial evidence was presented to corroborate her testimony. At the time of Dabneys conviction, practically everyone felt that the verdict was surely Just. Yet, a few weeks later the woman who was supposed to have been murdered, showed up alive and well. Dabney was released, but think of what he and his family suffered through the diabolical attempt to swear his life away. Suppose he had been executed for the alleged crime? Many cases are of record in which it was proved later that Innocent persons have actually been put to death through perjured testimony. In some instances in which the condemned men have confessed murder, the supposed victims have turned up well and very much alive. All this illustrates how unreliable the most convincing evidence may be, and while it is doubtless true that for every innocent person punished, a dozen guilty ones escape, It shows that a great responsibility rests upon a jury, particularly when a human life is at stake. eye-witne- ss A brewery proprietor of Pilsen, who drowned himself in a vat of beer, left a note stating that he died for shame because consumption of his beer had decreased more than 125 gallons during the year.

The largest part of this weight is made up of iron and steel products. Iron, malleable and cast, accounts for 492 pounds, and steel, ranging from cold drawn to hot rolled steel wire totals 1,606 additional pounds. These commodities and their come from many states and many sections of the country, and their preparation and transportation adds tremendously to the employment and financial welfare of the nation. Each coach contains 198 pounds of hard and soft wood, used mainly in the construction of the Fisher bodies, which are a combination of wood and steel for greatest structural strength and serviceability. There are eighty-tw- o pounds of rubber, both in the tires and at insulation points. This, incidentally, is the only major commodity not produced in Its raw state in the United States. There are fifty-fopounds of glass In every Chevrolet coach, in the windows, windshield and lamp lenses. There are also fifty-thrpounds of cotton from the fields of the South in the upholstery material and padding. Brass totals twenty-si- x pounds and there are an additional seventeen of pounds pure copper used. The mines of the West also contribute twenty pounds of lead for every car, in addition to the babbitt and solder used, and there are 5.01 pounds of tin in every model; while other similar products include aluminum to the extent of several pounds, mica, celluloid, porcelain and clay, and nickel and silver used mainly in body trimming. The paper mills sell eighteen pounds of their product for use in every model, mainly as insulation in the top and body. From the dye and chemical factories come seventeen pounds of products, plus two pounds of acids and nine pounds of paints and varnish.

Loui-sian- a, Taxpayers of Donaldsonville, are now receiving substantial relief in the form of a reduced city tax rate, as a direct result of the elecsale of the former to the water and plant tric light Louisiana Power & Light company in August, 1929. The sale of this plant to the local power company not only provided part of the funds for the retirement of certain municipal obligations, but the also the private ownership of taxplant and equipment addedtaxits rolls. able value to the citys Thus the contribution toward a lowd first, in reer rate was in insecond, bond interest; ducing thereand taxable property creasing by making lighter the burden of the other taxpayers. The New Orleans Times Picayune states that last years city property tax rate in Donaldsonville was 11 mills. The promised rate for this year is 8 mills. The Indicated rate for 1935 is 6 mills a reduction of nearly 50 per cent. Commenting editorially on this situation, the Times Picayune further says, in part: Donaldsonvilles tax relief is made possible, the chief explains, by the paying off and retirement of municipal obligations. A public improvement bond issue, maturing this year, will be paid out of funds segregated and available from last years tax collections. The last of a series of indebtedness certificates issued many years ago will be paid in 1935. Instead of maintaining the tax rates and finding other ways to spend the funds that have been dedicated to retirement of these obligations, the Donaldsonville city fathers have decided, it appears, to reduce the rates and relieve the taxpayers. Their decision obviously is worthy of note and hearty commendation. Municipal tax reduction is quite as necessary, it goes without saying, as the moderation of tax burdens by other taxing agencies. Donaldsonville is showing that it can be done. The example and precedent are needed and we hope that Donaldsonvilles good fortune may be shared by other municipalities. In addition to the tax reduction already made, and the one anticipated, Donaldsonville has also built a new sewerage system without the necessity of floating bonds or borrowing money. The electric rates In the city are also considerably lower than they were before the Louisiana Power & Light company acquired the property. city-own- ed two-fol- Mohair Leads Way In Fast Recovery of Basic Raw Materials BOSTON, Mass. Huge purchase by Sanford Mills and Goodall Worsted of 14,500,000 pounds of company, domestic mohair has created a profound sensation In all wholesale and retail markets. This courageous purchase, made during a period of low commodity price levels, definitely indicates confidence in the future, which is most constructive at this particular time. It Is the largest single purchase of mohair In the history of the trade. Similar purchases In other commodities such as wool, cotton, and other raw materials may be looked for and which will pave the way for a marked business Improvement throughout the entire country. Mohair products have always been considered somewhat of a luxury, owing to the high cost of the' raw material. This timely purchase of such large quantities of mohair has made it possible for these progressive manufacturers to anticipate their raw material requirements In advance which provides them with a superior competitive advantage, and makes it possible for them to put on the market, superior mohair fabrics of all types at reasonable prices. Mohair is an animal fibre produced from the Angora goat and possesses superior qualities of strength, lustre, and durability not found in any other animal product. The material Is produced chiefly In Texas. This purchase of mohair' will be of definite interest to all purchasers of mohair products and similar materials and will go a long way to stimulate confidence in textiles and other lines, which ip so very badly needed today.
