The above statement was made by a prominent geologist and engineer who has specialized in petroleum anticlines all over the country. He has explored oil fields in California, Texas, Oklahoma and other oil producing states during the past 20 years. He has been employed as an engineer and geologist by some of the largest oil concerns in the world. He is a native Utahn and naturally is interested in the future welfare of the people of Utah. Among other things he opined that in the near future Utah will be known as one of the greatest oil producing states of the workers. nation, giving employment to thousands of well-pai- d All that is needed to develop Utahs wonderful resources o is capital, cooperation and the by Utahs own people. Nature in its lavishness has placed nearly everything imaginable here for the benefit of Utah' men, women and children. Let's cooperate and work unitedly for a greater Utah and its cities and communities. It would be wonderful to see northern Box Elder county and other sections of Utah dotted with producing oil wells, together with a network of pipelines transporting it to Utah's refineries where it would be transformed into finished products and ready for the markets and consumption for useful purposes. work. ,.The best of all would be the thousands of well-pai- d ers in the industry, their payrolls, and the resultant enormous business activity. . will-to-d- 1. - ! ft1- -' - vt' ""h After Roosevelt What? of what might well happen to the gains labor has made under the New Deal if reactionary Democrats and Republicans seize national power in 1940 can be clearly seen in ominous news reports coming out of Madison, the capital of Wisconsin.

I. T. FALSE ECONOMISTS IN CONGRESS AND ELSEWHERE Those Senators and Representatives in Congress who are preaching economy by cutting the WPA appropriations are false economists, indeed. Any thinking person, who has any sense of observation, knows that the WPA has been, is, and will continue to be an asset in every state of the nation. True, billions have been appropriated for the maintenance of the WPA, but let us not overlook the billions in assets to the cities, counties, states, and the nation which the WPA has created. Good roads, bridges, flood control, forestry, parking, sidewalks school buildings, libraries, recreation grounds and buildings, health control and art projects are a few of the many assets created by the relief workers and they will stand for all time to come as monuments to the honor of the WPA. And, the greatest of all, is the saving of men, women and children from starvation. I believe that for real economys sake, Congress should be more liberal in its appropriations to the WPA so that it may continue employing for useful work on government projects men and women In need of --employment. -t- This nation needs many new projects and the unemployed workers need a decent living. For genuine economy lets continue the WPA. State Senator Nelson Urged to Enter Race For Governor in 1940 Since the Republican dopesters are busily engaged in bringing to the fore names of 1940 Democratic party possibilities for Utah's governorship and other offices it is noted that in the main those mentioned are from the reactionary wing and those satisfactory for the machine politicians of both old parties. It is too early in the game to make any predictions for next year's primaries, but one thing is certain, and that is that any reactionary would have rough going in making the grade. That Utah's voters are tending to be liberal cannot be questioned. Any observer who keeps his ear to the ground will have to admit this fact. Another' factor that has awakened the liberally-thinkin- g voters to action is the recent do nothing session of the State legislature, and on top of that the Governors veto of the few important bills that were able to pass both houses. There is more talk regarding' future political action among the rank and file of the voters than anywhere else. And so far as we have been able to learn this talk points to one man State Senator Lawrence E. Nelson, who made a d fight in the Senate against political, machines, reactionary measures, single-hande- and gag-rul- e. I Nelsons voice was at all times raised in behalf of the people of Utah. The people are familiar with his good work in the legislature and they will not forget their good friend, even though the political dopesters for the reactionary machines may (Continued on Page 4) , -- . gyvryrs BETWEEN THE LINES By LABORS NON PARTISAN LEAGUE KNOW YOUR INTERESTING NEIGHBORS WASHINGTON A closer of the scrutiny 50,000 signais tures of small businessmen attached to the petition supposedly an interesting radio program over station KUTA Wednesdays at 6:30 presented by Senator Burke of Nebraska, demanding changes in p. m.
