LOGAN CITY; CACHE COUNTY, UTAH. THURSDAY, MARCH 26, 1914. 1 ADOPTED FROM FLAX NEW WHICH GREAT RESULTS ARE EXPECTED. i U. S. Army Stirred by Trial of Major Koehler For Misconduct . BOOSTERS RECOMMEND SOME TERMS THAT IT SHOULD CONTAIN. THE PROGRESSIVE ORGANIZER Last year the telephone company applied for a new franchise as the one it is now operating under has but a short time to run. The city commission before acting on the matter sought suggestions from the Boosters Club and the matter was turned over to a special committee of the Boosters, composed of Attorney II. G. Nebeker, Prof. George B. Hendricks, Mr. A. II. Thompson and President II. E. Hatch of Thatcher Bros. Banking company. This committee submitted its report to the city commission on Tuesday evening and the commissioners extended a vote of thanks to the committee for its painstaking work.. The recommendations in the report are in substance ah follows: That the telephone company pay an annual tax of 50 cents for each telephone installed in Logan city. The company shall furnish free of charge to Logan, one telephone for each 2,000 inhabit ants and that one phone be added for each two thousand increase in population. The life of th4 franchise to be 20 years. That the franchise fix a maximum rate for telephone rentals as follows: Business telephone per month William E. Cadmus. National Organizer for Progressive Party was in Logan on Monday, and on Monday evening delivered an address at the county court house. "The gentleman is traveling about the country reviving the spirit of progressivism wherever it is drooping, helping to organize Progressive Clubs and advising the members of his party as to the best course for them to follow. He was met here by the local Progressive leaders and in the afternoon some of the Democrats of the city were invited to meet and talk over matters political with the distinguished visitor. Mr. .Cadmus is a very agreeable gentleman, one well traveled and widely read. He has an attractive personality, is affable, diplomatic and very much in earnest as to progressivism. He is of the opinion that a combination between the Progressives and the Democrats, will be the proper thing for the - next campaign. lie makes a distinction. Fusionhe Says is the process involved in the pouring into the same vessel of two quarts of milk, both losing their identity. Combination is similar to the hitching of two horses to. a load, each pulling his part and each retaining his identity. He therefore favors an agreement between the Democrats and progres sives and then having two tickets placed on the ballot, one the Democratic ticket, the other the Progressive, and yet both will have the same candidates.' Mr. Cadmus was of the opinion that the battle this fall should be fought out on the field of reforniL rather than thafr of Smootism, that Utah Republicans are already trying to make Smoot appear in the light of martyr.and are circulating ridiculous reports, about slush funds being raised him, and it will be- foolish for the opponents of the Republican Party in Utah to dignify that contention by noticing: it. What the people of Utah wantf most hr some reform legislation and to get it a Combination legislature must be elected.That is the real fight and it should be fought to a finish. Let Smoot alone, if the people of Utah are so foolish as to elect a man to represent them in Washington, who can do them no good whatever, 'alright, but let the duty of the combined forces he to see that things at home are right that we have the initiative, the referendum and the recall and the other reforms that Republican .legislatures' 'in Utah have repeatedly denied us. Mr. Cadmus in his address at the court house was very fair giving credit wherever it was due. lie explained the philosophy of the Progressive movement and then went into detail as to the reforms that it desires. s lie explain ed the initiative, the referendum, recall and recall of judicial decisions and showed-wher- e the Progressive Party differs from each of the two old parties, and why there should be no alignment with the regular Republicans any where, at the presnt time. The speech was very forcible and eloquent. Few better political addresses have been delivered in Logan in recent years. Following the meeting an organization of the local Progressives was had. Thomas G. Lowe was chosen chairman of the city committee of the Progressive MAKES SPLENDID ADDRESSA 4 If the weather will permit', Lo- Day gans annual Clean-U- p April .will come 1st this year, and the indications point to a more thorough-goin- g cleaning than the city has ever had. An entirely new plan of operation has been adopted with the expectation that it will enlist of a larger numthe citizens than have ever ber of clean up and in the taken part will be of that results produce unusual value both practically and educationally. As usual, the stores all of them are asked to close for a half holiday until one oclock. Captains have been appointed for every block in the city, and men and boys all the are asked to report to the captain of the block on which they live at 8:30 a. m. with rakes and shovels ready to. work their way as a squad around the four sides of their block cleaning up the leaves, sticks and stones and giving especial attention to the ditches and parking. The captain of. each block is responsible for securing a team from some one on his block which can haul away the material ocllected to a convenient dumping place. The committee is- arranging for several different dumping grounds in various parts of the city, and if anyone has a place where he would like to have such material deposited free of charge he is asked to notify Secretary HoVey able-bodie- d - Club. of the Commercial-Booster- s The spots which will be available will be announced later. A committee of inspection consisting of the Mayor and some of the leading men of the city will visit the various squads during the morning to give advice and encourageme and find out how the work is progressing. Photographs of the workers will .be taken and an honor list of those blocks which turn out the largest squads of workers will be publish- later. ed very, little to give, but if ' 2000 men. and boys give- - that much time to improving Logan on April 1st the city will be a very different looking place from one end to the other when they get through. Its worth doing. Below are given the names of those who have been selected as captains for the different blocks. It would be impossible to name each block . separately, so the names have been grouped accord ing to ecclesiastical wards.Look for the name of a man who lives on your block and be ready to report to him on Wednesday, April 1st at 8:30 a. m. ; providing the weather is favorable!

The ditches are supposed to be kept clean by the residents, anyway, so it was felt that it would be better to get everyone this year interested in doing that hich was part of bis regular dqtv. by blocks Organizing a wider interest ought in the clean up. for few men will be so lacking in public spirit as to refuse to help clean the block on- which they live, while they might object to doing the citys work down town. And working by blocks will be better than simply asking each individual to clean in front of his own place, for it will mean a clean street whether certain lots are vacant or occupied. While each captain will be responsible only for the four sides of hishloek, it is better manned than others, and in' that case the larger squads will he expected to do the neighborly aet and help those across the street. The arrangements for the Clean-U- p day are being made by the Committee on Streets and Paving and the Civic Improvement Committee of the Commercial-Boosters dub, the Mayor is wing 1,p issue a proclamation declaring April lqt a half holiday for the purpose, but the success of the day depends upon the citizens who will close their stores, giye up their work, anj unvote four hours of work to the public welfarerFdur hours' is n .
