In keeping with the growth of Ogden, the Mountain States Implement company moved into its new warehouse and wholesale office building this week.

Located ns it is on a spur of the Denver & llio Grande Western railroad, the freight cars can be loaded and unloaded direct from the platform. This platform is roofed, and at the end is a loading space for motor trucks. There is also an inrdde loading platform for motor trucks. The space where the trucks stand for loading is also used as a garage. The doors to the platform being of metal were constructed into place by Jackson & Iace, sheet metal contractors, who did nil of the sheet metal and roofing on the building. The first floor of the building contains the shipping and repair departments, racks, shelves, space for implement parts and hardware. Freight can be unloaded from the car down chutes to first floor or on the second floor taken down a huge hydraulic elevator.

The wholesale department of the company was formerly located in Salt lake City. The whole office force of this department and the repair department have moved their residences to Ogden. S. S. Ecclcs, president of the Teachers Interested in Telephone Co. Reduces Legislative Program Long: Distance Rates 0 Mile Zone In The Utah Education association, cording to a statement from the U. E.i A. office, is vitally interested in three propositions which will be presented to the state legislature which opens on the 14th of this month. All three have direct bearing upon the educational welfare of the state, and, if enacted into law, will do much toward helping Utah to regain her former, rating in matters of education among the various states of the Union. . In 1920, according to report made by Dr. Leonard P. Ayers of the Russell Sage foundation, Utah held sixth place in public school affairs among the states of our country. Another report, made public in 1925 by Dr. Frank B. Phillips of George Washington university, places Utah twenty-firfrom the head of the list. In both cases the reports cover practically the same features and give practically the same weighting to the various factors considered. The forces , which produced this slipping are still in operation, and, no doubt, a like report made at the present time would ; ahow that Utah is still further from the position held by her in 1920. It should not be inferred from these ; statements that the school system of Utah is going backward. There is no doubt but what she is doing just as good school work now as she did in 1920 and, in some respects, making alight gains, but in comparison with other Btates of the Union she is falling farther and farther behind. A study of the figures which justify those observations shows that the factors over which the local and state boards of education have direct control are, in the main, the ones in which the state has maintained its standing and made its gains, and that those over which the state legislature has direct control are the ones in which .the state has been losing ground. tn view of these considerations the IL'E. A. is hopeful that our next state legislature will enact measures looking to; 1. Greater slate aid for school purposes and a more equitable distribution of the state school fund so as to provide, as far as possible, uniform educational opportunities for all boys and girls of the state. 2. An amendment to the state constitution so that property might be classified for assessment and taxation purposes to the end that the school funds might be more adequately financed by drawing upon tax sources which at present are not standing their share of taxation responsibility. jurt 3-An amendment to the state constitution making it possible to have the state superintendent of public instruction chosen and elected by a nonpartisan state board of education and thus remove the position from political control. To have better schools it is ncces-aai- y to provide better teachers, better teaching facilities and the like, and to satisfy these demands more revenue is imperative and changes in school organization are needed.

F. II. Reid, president of The Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph company. All day calls between points from 130 to approximately 1500 miles apart are reduced in cost. This is true of n calls as well as calls by number. This reduction affects calls placed to any one of the 19,000,000 telephones in the United States. Telephone users in the territory served by The Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph company will profit substantially by the reductions. This general reduction is the third made by the Bell System in two years and four months, and, according to Mr. Reids statement, is in keeping with the Bell Systems policy of providing the best possible service at the least cost consistent with financial safety. Mr. Reid points out that in the statement of policy it was announced that "earnings more than sufficient to provide the best possible service will either be spent for the enlargement and improvement of the service furnished or the rates charged for the In long must be reduced. distance service it has been possible both to improve the service and' reduce the rates. "During 1928 there has been a continuous improvement in the speed with which toll and long distance calls were handled, according to Mr. Reid. "The fact that 90 of calls 8re now handled while the subscriber remains at the telephone has been one of the influences that has brought about the steadily increasing use of long distance facilities that have marked the year. "Principally in the industrial areas of the country there was an extension of 1500 miles of inter-cit- y telephone cable. This cable is practically stormproof and provides dependable long distance service between large centers of population. This is the second substantial saving offered to the public by the Bell System in the space of little more than one year, according to Mr. Reid. The last rate reduction became effective December 1st, 1927, on calls longer than 450 miles and saved the telephone using public $1,500,000 in Idaho i'.iMf, Idaho.
