As this is tie only place such information is published this issue is invalu-ablas a record. The publication calls attention to the fact that all the property taxes levied in the State are spent by local officials Right around the corner from the taxpayer. It points out that if the taxpayer is not satisfied with the tax burden he must share the therefor. It charges responsibility him and his neighbors with the responsibility of determining both the quantity and quality of government they receive. The tabulations show that the state general fund levy of .7 mills has been entirely removed and that the state school levy was reduced 1.3 mills. This two miU cents reduction in dollars and amounts to $974,000. But according to the Taxpayer this does not mean that expenditures will be reduced for surplus and other revenue receipts more than offset the reduction. It is pointed out that despite the fact that 13 of the 29 coun. ties reduced their levies and 12 others made no change the total county tax burden this year will be nearly $400,000 more than it (Continued on Page Eight) dr Every Voter Should Vote forced shall toiiieone: academic year.

Tlie article stated that lor tlie United States as a whole only a third of those registered and eligible actually exercised the privilege of casting their ballots. Only 35 percent of those who could have voted, did so. This is indication of an Indifference in our country that is indeed regrettable. In Utah only 18 per cent of tlie ellgibles voted the lowest vote of any state In the union. This Is appalling. I wonder if we disgrace the country; surely we must feel the shame of what we did in Utah, or failed to do, on primary election day. Among the reasons given for the low vote, which are, of course, only opinions or guesses, it is thought that voters are apathetic; that is indifferent, unconcerned, withA week or so ago, out care, without feeling of responsibility, without sense of appreciation of the duties and privileges and democracy. of citizenship Other reasons given for the low vole w ere : No presidential contest, world war, and absence of acute issues, but these sound more like alibi's and excuses. I wonder how low a state vote might go before the nation should have a right to do someiliing about it. It is possible that unless the people of any state exercise their voting franchise to some reasonable extent, the National Congress should reduce their statehood to territorial status. Why should people be trusted with statehood when they refuse to manage it? I do not know how low a vote should go before tlie nation might act, but it seems that Utah's vote of 18 percent is dangerously near that point. I am not advocating that our state be reduced to a territory, and I do not think the people of Utah are quite as indifferent as the last vote may indicate, but I do wish to declare, solemnly, that democracy is a sacred privilege and we should be very much more aggressive than we generally are in exercising the magnificent right of the ballot. People must know, if they think a little, that a low vote is the proverbial politician's greatest opportunity. If he knew that only 18 percent of the people registered would go out to vote, a clever scalawag" (and there are plenty of them) could easily organize his forces and go out and get more than half of the eighteen per cent and thereby get elected by less than 10 percent of the registered voters, and probably not more than five or six per cent of ' the people. This is not an Impossible theory. happen. Things like this actually Do we not realize ' that democracy is In danger? Are we not engaged right now in the greatest struggle known to history to preserve our freedom, with the outcome of the struggle doubtful? We cannot say at this date whether we shall win or lose. In the midst of this struggle, how can we be so careless as to neglect our best opportunity to make our strength count! If we have been Indifferent, let us check ourselves. Indifference is one of the sins most dangerous to democracy. Let us show the country W'e were only napping momentarily. Let us make our next vote cound up as high as the excellent record recently shown by one of our neighbor states. Wyoming stood at the top. Can we do as well? W. W. HENDERSON.

Are they preparing students to take thc-i-r places in the prent society? Our universities shod meet the needs of the day and the committee should recommend changes to accomplish these ends. 9 After the functions of the schools have been clarified, then a careful budget, based on the set-u- p recommended by tlie committee, should be prepared. de19 Make recommendations signed to establish a permanent coordinating committee to maintain a proper correlation of tlie activities of the two schools, and to stimulate a continuous cooperative attitude between them.

Cache Farmers Urged to Store Vegetables Cache County farmers Tuesday were urged to supplement the winter food supply by storage of vegetables, by Dr. Orvil L.

In mast are instances vegetables that mature and at proper eating stage are almost at the proper stage for storage. Proper harvesting is important also for successful preservation. In most Utah localities the stor. age season begins just after the first few light killing frosts ocSome October. cur, usually in crops survive frosts without seand rious damage, but sqash pumpkins are injured by severe cold and must be harvested soon after the vines are killed. Careful handling of crops is necessary. Cuts and bruises offer an entrance point for rot and decay, Dr. Stark pointed out. All broken, cut or bruised vegetables should be set aside and used before decay sets In. Allowing the vegetables to dry in before tnoroughly placing storage. Parsnips, horseradish and salsify are the easiest of all vegetable crops to store, for they can be left in the ground where grown and dug when needed and spring. A during winter light covering of straw or leaves makes digging during winter months easier. Cabbage and Chinese cabbage are successfully stored in trenches ranging from one to five feet in width and height to ten inches is usually stored deep; celery with roots attached and planted in moist soil .and and squash pumpkins prefer a relatively dry atmosphere and cool temperature. Mound storage is suitable for storage of all root crops and Dr. Stark said. To construct a mound, dig a shallow trench eight to 12 inches deep and not over five feet wide. Vegetables are piled cone shaped and covered with straw. Soil Is placed over the straw which is allowed to emerge through the top of the mound for ventilation until cold weather begins. If the cold becomes excessive, more earth can be added. SUCCESSFUL Bo.ii Ca lie county and Lujan ill ckiM Friday for inhooU k the annual ugar beet hart cat vacation, the county farm labir committee decided Monday tiUht. They urgently requested COo; 011.0!! of nil resident of tiiej county in inuring a successful1 i harvest. , Allen E. Dr. supermt tuieiii of Ligan city schools, said the city system will adopt, at the, tlie request of the committee, same vacation period set earlier! by the county schools. The committee urged growers to j how decide Immediately many; workers they will need and inform representatives of tlie Amalgamated Sug if company of their needs. Predicting a shortage cf beet topping knives that may become as, serious as the labor shortage, the committee urged city residents to send their knives to Logan Senior high school and asked growers to search their farms immediately to see that all knives and other materials were ready. W. A. Budge, superintendent of tlie sugar company, said first receiving stations will open Wednesday and that all of them are expected to be functioning by Saturday. He announced that the company brought 50 Japanese evacuees into) the county Friday from the new) relocation center at Abraham andj tint others are expected to arrive) in time for main harvest operations. I dont think we need to worry about supplying Japanese workers for those farmers who requested them earlier, he said, though we probably won't be able to fill last minute requests. A. W. Chambers of Smithfield, president of tlie committee, urged to growers to begin immediately prepare for their harvest operations so all materials and workers will be organized by the start of tlie harvest. Growers using student labor will supervise workers themselves the committee decided, and schools will! maintain no crew foremen as was done in the thinning season. Growers were urged to apply ln W'riting for student labor by Saturday at company weigh stations, can relay so company fieldmen labor requests to schools In time for crew Monday organization morning If growers want to file requests before the stations open, they may submit them directly to the field men. Cache county school busses will be used to transport students from Logan schools to the centers of communities in the beet area, the committee decided. Transportation costs w'ill be paid to bus drivers by students under a scale to be worked out by school officials. The committee urged growers not to request more students than they actually will need, warning that students called into a field and then given no work may not appear for work the following day. Dr. Bateman reported that several Logan school teachers are organizing to go into the fields, and other adults are expected to trek to the harvest from Logan. Emphasizing the importance of enough topping knives obtaining before work starts, Mr. Budge declared, you just cant get these knives any more. There must be plenty of them in city homes and on the farms if we can get them in time. Students in the schools will be requested to launch another scrap drive in search of mislaid knives before the harvest opens, the Com mittee decided.
