Show THE CITIZEN NEW MAIL LAW. TINTIC DISTRICT. TELEPHONE GIRL Beginning July first, all mail bearing special delivery stamps will require a personal receipt, the same as. is now required of registered mail, whe adoption of this new ruling, which has been announced by Postmaster General New, is for the purpose of reducing' the- number of losses by petty larceny and otherwise of parcel post and other special delivery matter. It is estimated the value of lost; special delivery mail is fully $1,000,000 annually. . - MOFFAT PROMOTED. Mr. D. D. Moffat has been promoted to assistant general manager of the Copper company, a place which he will be able to fill with executive ability. He is well known throughout the west because of his attainments in the metallurgical field through close association with tremendous development in the mining industry of Utah. As an engineer and as a leader, Mr. Moffat has a reputation of the highest type among the men with whom he comes in daily contact. 0tah ?T If telephone operators had time and permission to talk back when we and who among us Is not guilty? complain and use language that we would be ashamed of at other times, what would they say to us? The question so aroused the curiosity of Miss Antoinette Donnelly that she wrote in the St. Louis recently that she doubted one of us would dare to use the tone of language we do in these irrational moments were we face to face with the individual. What she (the operator) may think of us she must keep to herself and. does, observed Miss Donnelly, shes a better man than we are, Gungha Din, because she has It is not so much in defense of the telephone girl I write this, explained Miss Donnelly, but to try to point out the folly of a telephone temper, because it uses up energy that, applied jto legitimate things, would incur profit, instead of total loss. To prove further that by ones mental attitude in this daily habit of telephone using you may school yourself to a better in other things as well. If we are a nation living upon our nerves, here is a national opportunity to train those nerves. Let the telephone girl herself be your object lesson. Whether you have your own private opinion about these girls and their service ability, you have to adbemit they have better cause, being human beings, if they had not, office regulations alone would not prevent them from breaking out with a few plain facts about what they think of us. They work under a constant pressure that few of us who have not visited central offices believe. I venture to say that the high-strun- k nervous person who is usually the telephone crank would not survive a full day of it. All the a telephone operator requires of a subscriber in order to obtain the quickest and best service is that he or she have the right number, speak it carefully and distinctly, talk into the telephone with the lips about half an inch from the mouthpiece and to move the hook up and down slowly, not rapidly, when desirous of recalling the operator. Globe-Democr- at 'if The Eureka Reporter says that the heaviest and most valuable ore production in the history of Eureka for a period of six months has just closed. The stimulated activity resulted from the excellent physical condition prevailing in the principal producers of the district, the high price of lead and the desire of operators to market the greatest amount of silver before the expiration of the Pittman act. Tintic ore shipments in carloads were as follows, showing the difference between the first half of 1922 and the first half of 1923: the.Ford-iey-MoCumb- . self-contr- ol. 0 self-contr- ol Salt Lake Plans for one of the largest projects in the west, involving the expenditure of approximately $10,000,000 and employment of more than 1,000 men over a period of three years, have been disclosed by officials of the Utah Power and Light company. the tax upon imports of foreign products has contributed to the revenue more than $100,000,000 in excess of what was estimated in July of last year as coming from that source. But that is not its major1 'achievement Business men knew when the Republicans took control of national policies that they could look forward to prosperous times that American industry and agriculture would be protected from too severe foreign competition. Hence, business began to revive late in 1921 and was going at a pretty good tilt in 1922, confident that by the time it had- - struck running heat protection would again be a fact. Capacity production became the, rule within three months after the passage of law. You cant squeeze blood from a turnip, and you cant secure taxes in satisfactory amount from business when it has laid prostrate for a year. But the state of business for 1922 resulted in a good tax yield in the early months of 1923. Because it improved business conditions, the current year will be a bumper federal income year, sos atisfac-tor- y that it may be found advisable and practicable to clip the rates a bit in the assessments on 1924 operations. And here again the benefits of the tariff will be in evidence. DEMOCRATIC CLUB. At a meeting of the Young Mens Democratic club held in the Hotel Utah during the week, Vere L. Mc- Carthy was elected president; Nathaniel Jackson, Ralph Stewart, secretary; Sherman Armstrong, treasurer, and Ernest Holmes and Delbert Draper, members of the executive committee. It was decided to hold monthly meetings and to create active interest in politics generally. The officers are all well known and are men who are liked and they will have a big influence and as a political organization. self-contr- ol, ENGLAND IMPATIENT. England is getting tired of the dillydally tactics of the French as regarding German reparations, and Prime Minister Baldwin is ready to take the lead in straightening out the European trouble. Things cannot go on as they are because entire Europe will become bankrupt, and England is going to have something to say for the sacrifices she has made to help France from being swallowed up by Germany. Had not England stepped into the breach, France would not have been able to have continued the war ninety days. The sugestion that has been made in the United States that a reliable check be made upon the 'resources of Germany and then see that Germany i the present system of Js. Underinvasion of the Ruhr only the French hatred is being sowed which will culminate in another big war. The present situation is similar to two kids who have met in a fist fight in the middle of the street where all traffic was stopped. Jnstead of clearing the street the police would allow the fight to go on and business could suffer. England proposes to clear the street and resume business. It looks as though we are willing to g.J. Europe advice and lend her some money, but refuse to fight her wars. The American people havent lost all common sense and caution yet.
