PRESENT SCHOOL SYSTEM GOOD ENOUGH TO HE LEFT ALONE. Residents of the Hchool districts of Carbon county will do well to watch closely a campaign recently launched by a group of wellmeaning, but seemingly misguided, citizens to obtain an annual appropriation of $100,000,000 from the government as federal aid. The scheme is that Uncle Sam send money to states that will match the gifts with like sums, the total to be spent on education. The government will prescribe the conditions. It will provide inspiration and direction, and then state control will become federal control. The funds, of course, will not be picked off the trees. These are to come from the people in the form of taxes to be returned to them under such terms as Washington, D. C. may dcctate. Local direction of our schools will be surrendered, in small part at first, but eventually in whole. It will be a bureau at the national capital which will tell what studies are to bo taught, how they are to be taught and, perhaps who is to do the teaching. And it wont be long until it gets into politics, and appointing teachers will be pretty much the same as naming postmasters and as crooked. It might be a lmd thing for states to be fooled into a further extension of federal aid trickery. It would create a new' bureau at Washington and mean more pnrkbarrel grabbing. It would cripple by the towns and counties. Our citizens should be on their guard and should notify their rcp;v wr.tatives that they are willing to accept federal aid for their ways, but that they prefer the present school alon-i- . be left system cannot accept the birth, divinity, death, resurrcc. tion and ascension of Christ cannot be a believer in the Christian religion as a whole. stuel: WHERE GOOD HIGHWAYS ARE BUILT IS FOILED GREATEST PROSPERITY. In view of the progress now being made in roadbuilding in this country it is amusing to recall the sentiment of many Eastern Utah citizens along this line just a few years back. When it was first proposed in various sections of the country to spend public money to put brick, concrete and macadam on highways the movement was bitterly resisted, not only by farmers who imagined their taxes leaping to the skies, but by town and city people who saw in the roads only fine speedways for those who could affprd to thousand own autos. Last year twenty-thre- e miles of highway was graded and surfaced in the various states. At the end of the previous twelve months there were a hundred and eleven thousand one hundred and forty miles of those paved. Then, adding this last years mileage and that done so far this year, it is probable that today more than half of the two hundred and thirty-on- e thousand miles embraced in the various state highway systems are hardsurfaced. And the end is not yet. The automobile plants continue their increased activity. There are today at least 17,000,000 automobiles and trucks on the roads of this country. Since there are so many to use pnd support good ones it will be but a few years until an unimproved road will be very hard to find. And the lust communities to build them will be the last to prosper. The old idea that good roads were only for the affluent has about been wiped out, because citizens everywhere have now learned that if they get rich or if they even keep fairly well off in this worlds goods theyve got to have the best. MONEY. IN HAND THE WORST OF MANY TEMPTATIONS TO SPEND. In an article on Pocket Money, in which a London, Eng., table is quoted as showing it ranges from $50.02 in Holland. $47.00 in France and $13.87 in Great Britain down to $12.50 in Gei many and $10.45 in Greece, the Wall Street Journal gives pocket average circulation in the United States as $50.11 in 1920, "our most extravagant year." Then it adds: The possession of money in hand is a standing temptation to let go of it. We are spending upon w hat we want in a startling proportion to what we need. It is true that a man does not live by bread alone, but it is evident from the money he carries in his jxK'ket that his cake appetite is being strongly This applies with equal force to stimulated. women.
