Show At-.- THE CITIZEN 10 to the State .Republican committee that is a candidate for office. A candidate for office instead of looking out for the interests of the party is out campaigning for himself. Some good Republican should be chosen for the position who loves a lot of real hard work, who gets lots of glory, as well as abuse, and who does not care for the money end of the game. The state chairman should likewise not be a candidate for office. Candidates because of the very nature of their campaign work cannot hope to be successful chairmen. The positions are too important to be lightly conducted. Every moment must be given to a successful campaign. Chas. E. Wood is recruiting consid- erable strength in his race for the nomination on the Republican ticket and many of the boys are trying hard to put him to the front. Wood has never connected himself with petty larceny cases. In many Instances he has kept men and women out of jail on minor offenses upon their promise to behave and he has met with general success. During the past five years he has brought to justice 350 hardened criminals in the country, among whom were desperate murderers, bank burgartlars, holdups, forgers and check ists. better record in the west for running down criminals and landing them in jail, and many of our business men are backing Wood for sheriff because of his general ability, conscientious in his work and as an ardent supporter of everything that is Republican. Criminals of late have been very active in this city and county and the people need a competent man at the head of the sheriff's office, and few men have had the opportunity to study crime and run down criminals as Wood has had. being provided for the comfort of the levels.

Supreme Court says that state highway board cannot change location of old established highways save by majority vote of district. Washington, D. C, August 28. The Department of Commerce announces a summary of the financial statistics of the State of Utah for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1926: The payment for maintenance and operation of the general departments of Utah for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1925, amounted to $7,611,204, or $15.48 per capita. This includes apportionments for education to the minor civil divisions of the state. In 1924 the comparative per capita for maintenance and operation of general departments was $13.92, and in 1917, $8.41. The interest on debt amounted to $468,089; and outlays for permanent improvements, $2,501,597. The totol payments, therefore, for expenses of general departments, interest and outlays were $10,580,890. The totals include all payments for the year, whether made from current revenues or from the proceeds of bond issues. Of the governmental costs reported above, $3,152,849 was for highways, and $827,982 being for maintenance $2,324,867 for construction. The total revenue receipts of Utah for 1925 were $10,811,835, or $21.98 per capita. This was $2,732,542 more than the total payments of the year, exclusive of the payments for permanent improvements, and $230,945 more than the total payments including those for permanent improvements. This excess of revenue receipts is reflected in the reduction of debt. Property and special taxes represented per cent of the total revenue for 1925, 53.3 per cent for 1924, and 59.5 per cent for 1917. The increase in the amount of property and special taxes collected was 148.2 per cent from 1917 to 1924, but there was a decrease of 14.2 per cent from 1924 to 1925. The per capita property and special taxes were $10.70 in 1925, $12.68 in 1924, and $5.76 in 1917.
