Editorial CHAMBER OF COMMERCE SCORES AGAIN Ogden chamber of commerce ia again to be congratulated upon the aucceaa that haa crowned its efforta toward building a Greater Ogden. Thia latest victory ia a reward for the several months work of President James II. DeVine, secretary Jesse S. Richards and the directors to secure an appropriation for the building of an addition to the federal building. The announcement now comes from Washington that Andrw Mellon, secretary of the treasury, has cut down the amount of the appropriation for the Salt take federal building and an nounced that half a million dollara will be set aside for the Ogden federal building. On January 17, when the announce ment waa made, giving the list of cities that were favored with appropriations for federal buildings. Ogden aid not appear, but Salt take City waa scheduled for an appropriation of $1,125,000. When that announcement was received in Ogden the chamber of commerce got busy and the mails and wires between Ogden and Washington were worked a little bit overtime. Senators W. II. King and Reed Smoot and Congressmen Don B. Colton and E. O. Leatherwood were reminded that Ogden was still in Utah and that in a few years time would be the manufacturing metropolis of The the intermountain country. chamber of commerce did not use these words exactly, or what words they used have not been announced for publication, but Saturday afternoon the word came from Washington that Ogden was added to the list by Secretary Mellon for a half million dollars. The dispatch also said that many of the cities included in the list of cities to receive appropriations tublished January 17, were eliminated n the revised list and the appropriation for Salt take City had been shaved down from $1,250,00 to $605,000. i are probably informed that the excellent butter served to them is from the cooperative dairy producers of Utah. During the past year about fifteen hundred cases of eggs were shipped by the cooperative poultry to Los producers association at Ogdencarloads Angeles. Each year several of lettuce and celery are shipped from here to the coast. Each year hundreds of carloads of canned products are sent to California and yet this city and state receive practically no advertising benefit from such exports. California is filled with cooperative associations composed of fruitgrowers, and farm associations. Kiultry raisers, strawberries from the Sacramento valley in the early spring, cantaloupe from Imperial Valley, grapes from Fresno or prunes from the San Jose district, that comprises the shipassociament the tions tell tbe world about it. If Idaho of potatoes to eastsends a train-loa- d declares Idaho nation ern markets, the is running Maine and other states a close race for high production honors. When Secretary of Agriculture, W. M. Jardine was in Ogden about a month ago, the guest of William II. Wattis, he declared that Utah was overlooking a wonderful opportunity by not properly advertising its products, such as tomatoes, peas, celery etc. "Advertise," urged the secretary. Closer cooperation through cooperative marketing and advertising ia what will bring success to the farmers of Weber County. Support the local cooperative associations that are making a great success of marketing farm products. Urge those associations to advertise the fact to the world that the products are from Utah. Work with the farm bureau i(l its efforts to bring about closer cooperation among the farmers and to help them solve their marketing problems. spud-produci- MANY OLD LAWS SHOULD BE REPEALED Marylands legislature is now in session and according to the "repealers" there are more than 400 old laws that should lie wiped off the statutes as conditions pertaining to them no longer exist. Some of the laws pertain-t- o the hours of horse car drivers, and another act placed penalty upon the person who counterfeited five cent beer checks. Other laws on the books that are absolete is a measure which forbids saloons from serving free lunch other than pretzels to drinking patrons, and a statute forbiding dueling. In all there are said to be more than 400 old laws that are absolutely obsolete and must be wiped off the statutes. This condition applies to many states. Utah may have some statutes that are obsolete now. Ogden City ordinances are like the laws of Maryland, there are many obselete laws hat should be repealed. Such laws as requiring saloons to close at midnight and remain closed until . six Vclock in the morning; closing the front doors of saloons on Sundays Side doors and back doors were not mentioned); one of our old laws required the drivers of motor vehicles when driving along the streets to stop and pull to the side of the road and stop the motors if a horse or team of horses gave signs of being frightened. We remember some of the first cars to arrive in Ogden were of such design and had such extreme lines hat many of the people would shake heir heads and dubiously bay "that contrap-shu- n would never supplant )obbin. The wave of popular sentiment resulted in the passage of the city ordinance regarding the manner in which automobiles should pass the lorse drawn vehicles. The county commissioners also had a law requiring the autos to take the river side of the road in the canyon and stop the motors until the hone drawn vehicles had passed.
