Higgins, who is a candidate for judge of the Third district, had not held office previously. Quite to the contrary, the Judge has given the public much of his service. He was elected Judge of the Fifth district at the time the constitution of the state was adopted and served five years. He was also assistant attorney general from 1911 to 1916. The judicial primaries will be held next Saturday at the City and County building at which time candidates will be named for this district. REPUBLICAN Daniel B. Richards, a native son and prominent lawyer of this city, has concluded to submit to the request of his many friends to get in the race as a candidate for district judge of this district, which includes Daggett, Summit, Salt Lake and Tooele counties, and for which district six judges are to be selected. Mr. Richards is a graduate of the University of Utah and the University of Michigan and then he went to Geneva and Paris and graduated twice with master degree Licencie en Droit, course and gradtook uated with degree of L.L. D. In connection with his law study in Europe for five years, Mr. Richards studied languages and speaks fluently six of them. He returned to the United States in 1900 and has been practicing law ever since. Mr. Richards has never held o. was ever elected to a. public office and has always been a staunch Republican. PLAYS FOR EASTER SUNDAY PATRONS "BE YOURSELF Monte Carter proved his popularity with Salt Lake theatre goers last night when he sucessfully put over his new revue, BE YOURSELF at the theatre. Assisted by a company of talented principals and a bevy of maids who sing dance and entertain in of general. Carter made his show full clean humor and much comedy, while Barbara La Mar, in Domestic Relations, a society drama and a comedy were the film portion of the bill. Carter had his audience in spasms of laughter last night. If he hadnt made so. much the rest would have made more. He absolutely stopped the e show, stopped all of the fellow and again, and you can t crack a joke in approved fashion If you are laughing yourself. Monte Carter 1ZZ, gets better and better. Ira Robertson, as Mike Dooley, did his share. Minor Reed, as a New York Idler, was very, clever, Lou Davis, the juvenile man, did some clever acting, as did Verna d Mersereau, playing a part or a Folly girl to perfection and Blanche Gilmore plays the part of spending all of IZZYS money in her John- catchy manner, while Florence WARHORSE FOR DISTRICT JUDGE OR-pheu- m post-gradua- te CITY PURCHASES BARNS. funst-ers-tim- Contractor P.

The purchase price is strung out in easy yearly installments.

The obstructionists in congress made two discoveries this week; the first being that the propain favor of the Mellon tax bill ganda was not propaganda at all but an expression on the part of the people who are with President Coolidge in wanting congress to get down to work and pass a tax measure that will reduce taxes; the second was that the plan to oust Secretary Mellon from the cabinet was loaded with dynamite. In regard to the first discovery the y between Coolidge and Lincoln' method of working, namely, direct and honest action for the benefit of the nation as a whole.- so-call- ed lawmakers have been receiving word from the folks back home that they stood behind the president in his demand for action, it was propaganda but the propaganda was from Mr. and Mrs. Taxpayer who had become tired of petty politics as played by the minority for the past four months. If a few more thousand citizens, irrespective of what their political faith may be, send on letters the chances are that they will get a tax reduction measure passed this session and one that will carry with it Coolidges demand for a 25 per cent reduction for the 1923 taxes, just a few more letters will do it. Senator Robinson of Arkansas, minority leader, has seen the handwriting on the wall and disavowed any part in his democratic colleagues plan to harpoon Mellon. It does not matter whether one like the secretary of the treasury or not every one will have to acknowledge that under his skilful guidance the great national debt has been reduced about four billion dollars and that is the thing that the people want. If the minority are sincere in their efforts to aid the people of the nation they will get squarely back of the president and put his measure President Coolidge is through. stronger today than he was a month ago for the voters realize he has been fighting their battle and fighting against heavy odds.

Of course previous io that time there were a few mines that were worked but the mineral production was negligible as compared to other western states. From a total . production of $9,141,137 in 1922, the mineral out put in 1923 jumped to $28,337,540, an increase of over three times the amount produced in 1922. This Is some record for the new state in mining. Engineers predict a great future for Idaho, and prospectors are now hoofing it over the mountain ranges locating new claims, and many of the old mines are being reopened and the coming year gives an indication of at least doubling the past seasons record.
