DEFENDERS We believe with the Salt Lake Tribune that there are' very few people in Utah who would care to be pointed out as defenders of I. W. W. propagandists. Of the recent convention of the fusion party at Chicago in which a Utahn was named as permanent chairman, and later presidential nominee of the Farmer-Labparty, the Tribune says : While the delegates tothe convention called by the were marking time yesterday they committee of forty-eigh- t were being entertained by a recital of what had been accom-- . plished in various states. Swinburne Hale of New York told the assembled delegates that Parley P. Christensen, permanent chairman of. the convention, was one of the first defenders of the I. W. W. Cheers followed the announcement which Parley P. acknowledged by bowing. Very few men in Utah would care to be pointed out as defenders of I. W. W. propogandists, it being well known that the purpose of these malcontents is to bring about the downfall of, organized society and destroy our Christian civilization if possible. If Parley P. Christensen is proud of his connection with such an outfit he has traveled 'far since he first became a disappointed and disgruntled politician. The patriotic people in this state and of Utah will not stand for I. W. W.-sof Big Bill Haywood they have no use for the apologists and his followers. Advocates of direct action should take notice of this fact before they start anything. or i i ; I m HERE - A BIG JOB THAT IS NECESSARY , While technically both the city and county commissions are correct in the position that they can appropriate money only to protect the county and city interests in the roads and bridges, yet at the same time we believe that both sets "of officials will.be justified in making very liberal propriations for dredging- the Provo river and preventing such catastrophies as befell the farmers west of this city ? , this spring, ; ; For many years past the Provo river has been a menace during the high water time and the loss in crops has far exceeded .the costs of both dredging and straightening the " lower end of the channel. ' The loss this year alone, we are told, almost equals the amount of the cost of the job and we believe the farmers and the residents along the river from the state road bridge to the mouth of the river are entitled to definite action on the part of both the city and county in the protection of thetr homes and their property. Looking at the problem from an economic standpoint both the city and county as well as the farmers are losing money, for it is .impossible to collect taxes from land inundated with water every year for it becomes valueless for : all purposes. It may be necessary tTcreatelT drainage district to handle this problem. But we cannot see the justice of the - city and county waiting until such a district is created be-- -fof 6 some definite action, is taken to start "this work- .- It an , pears to us that the most economic way to handle this problem would be to secure a steam shovel, and while dredging the channel build up banks that will protect the property on either side for all time to come". This work could be well done duringthis" summer," and we doubt very much if a single taxpayer in Utah county would object to the work e.T : . being donNot only is it necessary to consider the Provb river, -fiut action should be taken along every stream in the county to protect the land from flood periods. Thousands of dollars were lost to the farmers in different sections of the county this year through high water, and the losses to 'the taxpayers of the county will without question exceed a hundred thousand dollars, so it is not only up to the property owners in the flooded districts to protect their property but the entire county, for the entire county reaps benefits from the taxes collected. Furthermore, we must consider very seriously the conservation and intensive developments of every resource in ' the county, as the protection of our agricultural interests are just as important as the protection of all other interests. It may be necessary for the citizens to create a number of drainage districts to get the best results and each should : have the support of the people of the county. We havent increased in population so rapidly during the past 10 years that we can afford to overlook these problems, in fact we would do well to take an aggressive stand toward increasing the acreage of the countys farm lands. We cannot have thousands of acres of the finest land in the United States that cannot be brought under cultivation until we supply a greater irrigation plan for the highlands and a far reach- ing drainage plan for the lowlands. . It is going to take a lot of money to do these things, but only through doing Them can we do real justice to the agricultural development of the county. . We realize that both the county and city officers are meeting with serious problems, and often face financial deficits which prevent them from furthering projects that would increase the valuation of the county; but this must not stand in the way of action, for we must plan unitedly and back our public servants whenever they start out in a businesslike way to do these things. The dredging of the Provo river will be one step forward. Let us unite with the property owners in taking that step and as soon as this job is completed take up the next one and keep it up until .Utah county shall be a county with a valuation of a hundred . million dollars instead of a valuation of forty millions.
