ADVERTISING KATES CARBON COUNTY PUBLISHLNQ CO. UTAH PI-IC- rilOHIBITIOX; A FAILUKE? ONE by one the states are repealing their prohibition laws. Even the bone-dr- y south and west are demonstrating in no unconvincing way their Ulief that prohibition is a failure. Is prohibition a good thing? Nobody knows; it has never had a chance. When prohibition was adopted, all good people assumed that the law would be respected; that it at least would be given fair trial. But there were too many against it, even the police were down on it; they arrest a poor autoist for parking wrong and then let fleets of booze trucks pass in the night week after week and year after year without even seeing them, The lawyers were mostly against it; the doctors hated the restriction on their right to prescribe alcohol if they thought it beneficial. The legislators who passed the laws were themselves largely opposed to prohibition; they might ap-l- y it to others for political reasons but would not accept it themselves, in fact, many of our most active lawmakers cant wax eloquent unless they are tanked up. Finally, drinking was made fashionable. Country clubs sprung up like magic, because this gave people a chance to drink without let or hindrance, under the guise of playing golf. Conventions of all sorts were a big help to any bootlegger. No president would dare enforce prohibition, as it would hit too many good friends. The supreme court has admitted that a constitutional amendment doesnt enforce itself and that if the people choose to forget it or evade it .here is nothing to do about it. We are about, as it appears, to do away with the noble experiment of prohibition which never really pro- hibited. A sad, sad affair, for all concerned except the bootleggers, who have built up one of the biggest industries in the country in spite of the laws. When the farce is over, Uncle Sam will get some of the money the bootleggers have been getting, and this ought to lighten the tax burden under vhi:h the people are now staggering. NEEDED, 500,000 HOMES ACCORDING to government reports, the na tion is short some 500,000 homes. Building operations have practically ceased since 1929. The fact that communities are plastered with for rent and for sale signs is no indication of an of dwellings; it simply indicates the extent of the doubling-u- p process that has taken place during the depression a process that will be reversed as conditions improve. By the same token, the survey demonstrates that there is an almost incalculable amount of reconditioning and modernizing of existing residences that needs to be done. An interesting phase of the survey is that the small, home, costing ?3,000 or less, will be principally in demand when the wave starts. The thrifty home-ownand prospective builder, reading this, will not miss its message. It means just one thing, higher prices for both new construction and alterations and improvements. The first signs of that price rise are appearing, with a gradual and steady strengthening of the commodity price level. Prices are still extremely low construction and material firms are offering bargains that would have seemed fantastic not so long ogo there is a plentiful sup- over-producti- one-fami- ly new-buildi- ng j.ly of skilled and common labor. That condition won't last forever. If you are one of the five hu.tdred thousand who need a home, build now if you possibly can. If you are one of the several million who hate permitted needed repairs to go undone, have them done now. That leaky roof that inefficient furnace those rickety steps that ancient wiring that neglected plumbing now is the time to fix them. Youll be doing more than buying yourself something you need at a low price Youll be helping provide employment and a market for supplies. You'll be an influence for recovery. Employment and investment are cheaper and Utter than charity. riictuliil Ci RBON EMERY -- BAND COMMITTEE ON MAKES REPORT FINANCES OF TRIP A of rrj-or- l collations and txin-ditur- made on bon hlrh huul band its, 'lp,, the national contest at n LEAGUE e ,0 Postmaster J, y ,, received a tu!l,)n f department direetiJ the public that peridot- Ml to the state andT Home Owners Lon plications for loan with U hei Washington, D.

What transportation Chicago to Evanston $22, transportathe agenda does specifically mention for discus- tion of baggage to Evanston and re- sion follows : Monetary and credit policy ; prices ; resumption of movement of capital ; restrictions on international trade; tariff and treaty policy; organization of production and trade. These are high sounding labels and the subjects they cover are Greek to ninety per cent of the worlds people. But the economist can translate them into terms of jobs, wage scales, living standards. If the conference collapses, it will be because the politicians, dominated by radical prejudice and nationalistic passion, do the dictating. If it succeeds, it will be because the world has at last become so sick that it is willing to go the limit for a cure.
