This committee is composed of Dr. J. H. Linford, chairman, George B. Bowen, and City Electrician H. C. Maughan. Prof. Ray Becraft of the college is associated with the committee to give technical information regarding the kind of Comtrees, tree planting, etc. missioner N. W. Merkley is also associated with this tree committee as it comes under his department. Professor Becraft informed the committee that the soil conditions west on Second North were ideal for the tree project and particularly the green ash which has been specified for this street according to the tree plan. The Second North Tree committee headed by V. S. Carlson has had the few remaining old trees removed from the street and is getting prepared for the planting of the new trees. done This work was directly through the employment council. This will make it possible to make s uniform planting of the green ash on both sides of the street from Main on Second North to Sixth West. This in time should make one of the most attractive approaches to Logan City. Next week the tree committee will meet with the foremen of the Logan City Light plant, the Utah Power and Light company, and the Mountain States Telephone company to discuss plans forttrini-min- g trees whe.A: the bratoehis interfere with overhead wires. The committee believes that with a little precaution, such trees can be trimmed in a way that they will not be unsightly. In the past there has been too much promiscuous butchering of trees to accommodate the overhead wires. The Tree committee will meet with the presidencies of the Logan and Cache Stakes and work on a tree planting project on the tabernacle square this year. Some of the old trees on the tabernacle Editor, The letter you published from Nina Stewart indicates the lady is on the job in interests of the iarmer. I heartily approve of her endeavor and agree with her that the farmer has suffered as much as anyone from this depression. That fact however, is not a justifiable reason for passing misery on to the teacher, particularly to the low salaried teacher. The farmer in considering the matter ot wage reduction should give some thought as to the ultimate effect on him. The condi-- , tion of the farmer today is not because of high taxes (although taxes are too high) but from a lack of demand for his product which has sent - prices tumbling. When the earnings of low salaried people are lessened, their demand for the products of the farm is lessened. The farmer will eventually learn that to protect himself be must protect his consumer. WEAL EARN IN 08 ARE LOWER Also in discussing salary one 'must not confuse real earnings" with "dollar earnings." A school teacher of two decades ago earning 175 a month was getting a batter real wage" than the teacher of today who has passed the hundred mark. It is a very poor policy to base any wage reduction on class" or title of employment. The fairer way would be to base it on amount earned and to stop when the To "living wage" was reached. reduce the salaries of teachers alone could NOT save the far- mer much in the way of taxes, but it might cause the better qualified teachers to leave the l: state. While the main thought of the lady's story is for making the wage cut from the teachers salary, she hits the nail on the head" la the last paragraph when she says A cut should be made in every salary DOWN. Ah, that is another angle. We should learn from the carpenter. When he builds a house he starts with a and works UP, but foundation when he tears it down he starts on the roof and works DOWN. The great mistake of our present economic system is that the farmer and laborer are first to feel it, though they should be last. When depressions come, we immediately start tearing away at the base eventually, if the system is not changed, the structure will get top heavy and come tumbling grounds are dieing quite fast, and there should be a plan of replacement. By the time the old trees are ready to be removed, the young trees will have a good start. The plan is to include the Cache county library grounds for a tree planting program. The Community Welfare committee which represents all the civic organizations of the city, will be asked to sponsor a tree project on the Tabernacle grounds and Cache county library grounds. Last year this committee sponsored a tree planting project on the tabernacle grounds and it was very much appreciated. The tree committee will go over the tree plat of the chamber of commerce and may make a fe As soon as this is revisions. done, the list of trees for each street will be published so the public will be informed of the trees to plant. The tree committee with the beautification committee of the chamber of commerce are going to urge very strongly that all the residence owners of the city plant some trees this year. This is especially desired as it is the bicentennial of the birth of George and tree planting Washington, throughout the entire country is one of the features to be emphasized this year. It is to be a George Washington Bicentennial Tree Planting Year. lions annually. Then we should continue down, until we come to the man of average salary.

Taxes then will be on a fairer basis and we will get a dollars value for every tax dollar. It is not entirely beyond reason to expect that depressions cun be avoided. If the high financiers of the country cannot or will not undertake to develop the ways and means to avoid depressions the government most certainly should do so. The time to inaugurate these preventive measures is not during a depression but during prosperity. Our Reconstruction finance corporation and the new drive to bring forth hidden sums into the channels of economic life will no doubt start the prosperity ball' to rolling. When that time comes, let the farmer insist that every effort be made to protect his consumer the low wage earner. Farm business will then be stabilized and the desire to save a few pennies by adding hardships to others will not be so urgent. The fight to raise and maintain the American standard of living has been a long and costly one. That standard is not too high and any one trying to lower it is making a mistake.
