Needless to say, they would be more than happy to lfnow that they could expecta an income of $7,000 to $8,000 year. After learning to budget themselves and their families, they could no doubt live in what would represent luxury to them. Having enough money at one time to purchase the necessary articles of clothing for all the family, instead of carefully discerning just which one of them are the most in need. Being able if they to furnish their homes are lucky enough to own their own with new furniture, in the betterment of the living place of doing with the barest standards of their constitutents. necessities, and that shabby and Mr. Hanks made the statement second hand. Money enough to opinions by saying that he expressed himself very frankly as opposed to said raise. We wholeheartedly endorse the sentiments of our friend and fellow citizen, Mr. Hanks, and will take this opportunity to add a few of our own. " We have been proud of our administrations of the past, and the fact that only the President felt that $100,000 a year, too meager a sum for him and his to retain sustenance on.

Then the thing we think every parent hopes ana prays for, enough money in reserve to insure the best in education for their children, so they can face their friends and the world with confidence and without shame of ignorance, as decent and useful citizens. Each and every one of us, as capable and the citizens dread healthy accept having to thought of chanty of any kind, when we reach the age where we are no longer able to earn our own living. Outwardly, Utah is a very beautiful and prosperous state, but were we to make a careful investigation, we are apt to find that we have people who are in dire need of even the necessities of life. An almost certain thing for any state in the United States and a fact that we should definitely not be proud of, con sidering that we have such things as delinquency, crime of aU kind, and the terrible threat of communism, to combat. Now to say that these dire conditions do exist, will likely bring laughs and smirks from many, and some will say it is highly absurd, with the living conditions of our great country so high, but in all honesty can any of you deny the possibility of such. Being hungry, unable to eat or dress properly, having to live in crowded and squalid quarters, merely getting enough education to learn to read and write, can be and are the cause and shame. of and humans, we As parents want more than just this for our future generations. So, if we are going to continue to hold up our heads in pride of self and our really wonderful country, we are going to have to give the poorer class of people a chance. To do this, we cant continually keep raising the wages and salaries of the people who are fortunate to be making large yearly incomes. Most people do not ask for more than is their due, however, we see those who, when they at tain money and the power it brings, are never satisfied, but have to be forever reaching for more, and this usually at the citizens expense. We do not mind being taxed, when it for the betterment of State, Nation and all our people, but we like to know that this money for which we have really quite honestly worked, is going where it is needed the most. We voters feel that we have picked the best men for the job of helping in the administration of our government and we wish to continue to have confidence in your abilities, however, it is entirely up to you to earn this confidence. To do this, you no doubt realize the wisdom of doing the things which will bene fit our nation as a whole instead of things beneficial to only a few. Roene C. Carter and C. R.

Deer hunters continued to take many more bucks than does even though either sex deer were legal game during the general season in all of the more productive hunting units over the state. Per cent of bucks kill ed was 72.8, compared to the doe take of 27.7 per cent. Continued hunter success during the past three years under the either sex law does not bear out the earlier expressed alarm by some concerning the deer herds. Records and the annual surveys show herd numbers remain at range capa-cti- y in practically all hunting units. The 967 elk harvest was 358 animals under the 1,323 taken during the 1952 season. It is noted, however, that only 1,497 permits were authorized for the 1953 season as against 1,770 permits for the previous year. Hunter success for holders of elk permits dropped somewhat during the recent season with hot weather extremely dry, known to be the chief contributing factor. In this instance the 1953 figure was 65.2 per cent compared to 76 per cent during range-proble- m over-shot-- - 1952. Fish Lake, Southern Utahs popular angling and recreation area, was recently visited by. members of the department of Fish and Game. Purpose of the early season trip was to check the rainbow trout spawning run. When less than 100 spawners were found in the Twm Creeks area it was determined to suspend any egg taking activities for this year pending future developments. Department records show the number of rainbow eggs taken from this water has decreased through the years as the angling ressures have increased. Slight-- y over one quarter million such eggs were taken a year ago, while in 1938 the figure reached 10,953,000.
