MacKnight. mail into the Uintah Basin arrived m before 8:30 a. m. and at Vernal at 10:56 last Friday. According to Superintendent Cyril B. Cluff, this is the earliest delivery ever made ovrun. The mail includer this ed all elassei of Salt Lake mails from east and west and locals, up to 2 a. m. and also daily papers. No such service was ever offered the people of the Basin before and cannot be duplicated over any other route into the Uintah Basin. Last week eome of the reservation papers took exception to local efforts to uphold the government operated service in preference to private contracts, based upon substantial information that aeqniesenre in the proposal of the Basin Affiliated elubs, from Price to transfer the mail-hea- d to Salt Lake City through Heber, would result in the government operation being abandoned. The feeble peevish protest ''that we think tha people of the Uintah Basin and other towni along the main highway to Salt Lake City should have the opportunity to determine from what point their mail ia to eome," People must know that postal business is strictly a government function and the government reserves the right to regulate its own business, small town opinion to the contrary nothwithstanding. The postal on department makes its own terms the best terms possible and delivers the mail free to the people, and the operation of the Uintah Basin route ha always been at 30 to 40 per cent loss.

Taxpayers of Carbon eounty, both men and women, will have an opor-tnnit- y to know exactly where their tax dollar is going how it ia being spent and what uses are being made of it in our eounty government, in our school district and in tha cities of this county. In order to get these facts before ns, a convention of taxpayers of Carbon eounv has been called for 7 :30 p. m., Wednesday evening, September 7, at the eourt house in Price, sponsored by a group of Carbon eounty 's leading citizens. Through the courtesy of the general committee of the Utah Taxpayera association, graphs and illustrations will be prepared and presented upon that occasion. R. J.

J. Turner. Our Interest In V y ot Loral political attention ia beiug focused this week on the state Democratic) convention whieh will be held in Ogden Friday and Saturday. Twenty-six Carbon eounty delegates will make the trip. Supporters for Henry IL Blood and Clarence C. Neslcn, aspirants for the nomination for governor, each claim a majority of the delegation. Those to attend are going uninstructed, however, and claims of a majority cannot easily be verified. Blood supporters are led by Mayor Rolls E. West, while those barking Neslra are headed by Former Mayor W. F. Olson. Following the county convention here a week ago tha Blood leaden claimed eighteen votes. This ' claim was discredited by the faetion led by Olson who said that Neslen would have from 18 to 22 Carbon eounty votes. Clay Seeks Attorneyship. O. K. Clay, prominent Priee attorney and Democratic! nominee in 1928, will seek the nomination for attorney general again this year. The local delegation was not pledged to support him but it is understood that he will receive the undivided support from this eounty. Joseph Chez of Ogden will oppose him. For a number of years Clay haa been a leader in atate and eounty polities. 11a haa served three terms as eounty attorney, the first in 1918. In 1920 Governor Bamberger appointed him district attorney to fill tho unexpired term of Knox Patterson. In 1024 he again ran for county attorney and was fleeted. He was reelected in 1926 and since that time has eondneted a private praetirs in Priee. Aside from his terms iu office he his served as eounty chairman and iu 1928 waa the temporary chairman at the Democratic state convention. Dern Is Mentioned. Governor George H. Derns name was thrown iuto tho ring Tuesday when many of bis friends urged that he run for tha senate. Reliable reports are to the effect that there ia considerable aentiment for a "draft Dern" movement in Cache and Box Elder counties and the idea is taking some root in Salt Lake City. Should he allow hia name to ooaw before the convention the race for an opponent to Senator Reed Smoot will bring ont five aspirants. Friends of Wilson McCarthy are still maneuvering to draft him for the senatorial nomination. The Carbon county dolegation has not taken mneh interest in the convention aside from the two candidates for the nomination for governor and support of the local candidate. from A majority of the twenty-si- x Carbon eounty will leave here Thursday evening or early Friday morning.
