Salt Lake City, Utah COMPLIMENT TO LEGISLATURE are in receipt of a letter from Carl R. Marcusen, state man of the Republican party, complimenting the legislature ing raked over the coals.

Over 55,000 au- tomobile licenses have so far been issued, and 9,000 truck which is several thousand more than were issued at the same time last year. The work has been in charge of George Wilson who so well organized the office force that the secretary of state s office has been able to take care of all the extra work without adding an extra shift, thus saving the state several thousand dollars. Applications from outside counties are rapidly coming in. Many people do not drive their cars during the winter months and therefore do not make application for their numbers until they arc ready to drive, so it will be more than a month yet before all the licenses come in. li-cen- sse, .

Because of his fairness in all matters, whether on bench or off, he soon became well liked and in later years elected on the Republican ticket at the first election as chief ce. No judge has ever had a higher standing in this commu- and he leaves a host of friends and relatives to mourn his ap-te- It did not take Sheriff Clifford Patten long to unravel the Murray poison mystery. Before people had recovered from the shock caused by the dreadful tragedy, Pattens men had solved the murder and arrested the mother of the children, who had tried to kill off the entire family by feeding them strychnine in a cooked dinner. It is one of the most horrible crimes ever committed in Utah, and justice should be speedy and the arm of the law should not waver in pronouncing the severest penalty. Such crimes must not be encouraged and a swift penalty will have its moral effect. DISGUSTING A FUNERAL COURT A funeral service is held sacred by the Christian.
