When the Republican party, of this county met in convention and nominated its ticket, that convention pledged every member of the ticket" to a clean; consistent, business administration that will cor- rect many of the evils of the present Democraticadminis-- . tration.

These men are further pledged toXstrict audit of county expenditures, and the keeping of such public records thereof as will enable the taxpayers to know what becomes . of their taxes. Under a Republican administration the woeful conditions of the detours maintained contrary, in most cases, to contracts awarded, will not be permissable, for the people of Utah county are demanding that each contractor shall live up to his contract and shall maintain detours that shall be at all time passable to .the traveling public and shall not be left as at present in the impassable condition we now find them. The Republicans will, if elected, force the com-- v pletion of the road work which has bacn dragging along for nearly a year and a half which has resulted in great loss to the people and delays which cannot under any circumstances . be justified.

When that in-- -stitution is entrusted to thecai'eoflhe Republicans it will .1 be conducted in a humane and businesslike manner with a superintendent in charge who has the interests of the aged . at heart, and not a political boss, who tells the county com- - , missioners who shall, and who shall not be admitted there' wi(h the result that the county jail has to be converted into a hospital, which is the case at this time. A competent farmer wilThe' employed to run the county farm in such a way as to produce the maximum of products to supply at least a large portion of the needs of the institution. The Democratic party, has been in power, for the past four years and during that time there has been a tremendous demand for the conservation of our water supplies, the drainage of immense tracts of land, and the advancement of irrigation projects through state support which will bring under cultivation thousands of acres of land. This year again the Democrats have been absolutely silent relative to this great problem which is of unusual interest to Utah the Republicans have pledged their candicounty,-whi- le dates for the legislature and their party, to give such assist- ance as is within the power of the state to bring under culti- - ' vation the thousands of acres of arid land as well as the swamp land of Utah- - county and other parts of the state -- 30c.

America should live' her own life. Washington saw it when he wrote his Farewell Address. it was not merely because of passing and tran-- sient circumstances that Washington Said we must .keep from entangling alliances. It was because he saw ) that no country had yef set lts face faT theame direction in which America bad set her face. We cannot form alliances with those who are not going our way. and in our might and in the confidence and ness of our own purpose we need not and should not form alliances with any nation in the world. Those who are right, those who study their consciences in determining their policy, those who hold their honor higher than their advantages, do not need alliances. You need alliances when you are not strong and you are weak only when ycu are not true to yourself. You are weak onl when you are in the wrong; weak only when you are afraid to do right; are you ..

With suchn expressions coming from abroad, we are disposed to wonder If the great powers of Europe are really sincere in their overtures toward league of nations that y 4 . will bring eternal peace to the world. 4 ' There is' in such expressions at Jeast a modicum of truth as to what is on the public" mind in Europe, and ond can readily see that it is not altogether on a league to eh-r- S . force aif endless peace. It is our. opinion that we should maintain our independence and not place too much faith ln these foreign fact President Woodrow Wilson expressed' our sentiment on May 6, 1914, when he said: X. ..4 .75 SUPPORT A HOME INDUSTRY BY SUBSCIUBDrO NOW O At The Theatres -- .x Editor and Manager Subscription Terms France the most 1 . powerful military power on eartlix, The announcement that Zaharoff follows closely Marshal Fochs prediction that the next war will be decided in the air and under the sea The Marshal made his prophesy in an address to naval cadets at Bolilogne-sur-MerIn the opinion of qualified neutral observers, this is link in the gigantic scheme, sponsored by Presx another only ident Millerand when he was premier, to make France so powerful in a military way that she would take the place in Europe vacated by Germany.

" -- drainageT The Republican' party, in harmony with the attitude of its members, is on record for a just and 'equitable state income tax law, which will in a measure put a stop to the tremendous burdens of taxation, which the Democratic admin- istration has forced upon the farmers of. the states as a result of the extravagance of the Democratic legislature T which appropriated money so indiscriminately During the : four years of Democratic control thTaxea have doubled and much of this additional tax burden is diitlly traceable to the two past Democratic legislatures, which have taken no thought of the heavy burdens placed on the people and have appropriated large sums of money without ever stopping to" - -. consider the taxpayer in any way, shape or form. The entire Republican administration is pledged to a definite conservative policy which will put a stop to the wild orgy of spending the peoples money and will bring the state and county back to a sober consideration for the taxpayers and for the economic conduct of the affairs of the state and " . county.- . . " - i - FRIDAY we published in the news columns of the Post a letter from Mrs. Ida Smoot Dusneberry to one of her friends in Provo which gave an interesting account of her experiences abroad. Among other things Mrs. Dusen- berry said: I really think after all that Germany thinks more of us than any foreign country we have visited. They, hate everything U. S. A. over here, and usually make no pretense at disguising it. , Coincident with this we read in the press dispatches that Basil Zaharoff of Paris, reputedly the richest man in the world, has announced that his entire fortune, estimated in billions is at the service of the French government for - r t AN incident of surpassing importance, beyond the or- dinary interest, and ofie which goes to the very heart of the question whether the honor of the United States is en- gaged by such pledges as ere made at the fonfergnce.by., "President Wilson on his individual responsibility, but in the name of the government of which he was the representative, is just what those pledges were. In this connection a great .controversy arose between President Wilson and Senator Spencer of Missouri, when the latter made public just what pledges were made to the Serbs and Rumanians under the league of nations plan, which the pres- ident branded as false until Senator Spencer produced the records, and then he (the President) in his answer far wide of the real issue said that he was perfectly .content to leave it to the voters. , As evidence of the Presidents exact words in a speech to the Rumanians and Serbian delegates to the peace con- ference, urging them to sign the covenant- as shown by a report of the stenographic record of the eighth plenary ses-aiof the council, with the same language vertim as that in an article by Herbert Adams Gibbons in the Century Mag-azi'. for May, 1920, which said: . . H these states are solidly established thanks to the . treaty which are making together, the right belongs to the Powers which will guarantee the execution of this treaty, in the last analysis to see to It that the conditions on which - these states will be established are of the sort to insure the public peace . If thej world should be troubled again, if the condi- tions which we all regard as fundamental are chalenged, the guarantees which will be given to you (Serbia and Rumania) will pledge that the United States will send its army and across the ocean.

" Commenting on the Presidents manner of delivering this speech, Mr. Dillon says in his book that it was delivered with more than ordinary sweetness. - A man may even forget his own birthday but he always remembers that time when, if something hadnt happened, he would have made a fortune. , Most people seem unable to stand great prosperity, but fortunately most people dont have achance to. , EAST - : .
