I When copper prices in the market rose, the Utah Copper Company did not forget its faithful employes and profits are being divided and passed along to the working men. General Manager L. S. Cates knows that well paid employes perform faithful services and he did not wait for the men to ask for a raise, but added about $40,-00- 0 to the monthly payroll of the men. The raise is from 40 to 50 cents per day per man and about 3000 employes are the beneficiaries, a welcome Thanksgiving and Christmas gift. It has not been so many, years ago when working men had to strike for bigger pay, but today big corporations are always willing to pay the highest prices for labor and they meet their men half way. It is an ideal condition to have in any community and such actions create real pros- perity. FAITHFUL DESERVE REWARD. BOXELDER is a county that invariably elects Republicans, yet up to the present time has had little or no representation in political positions. This county has never had a federal appointment and so far has only had one state appointment. This condition should not be allowed to continue in such a faithful Republican county and patronage should be more universally distributed in the partys strongholds. The Republicans of this county will ask the party for one position, that of United States Marshal, which appointment will be recommended by Senator Reed Smoot to the president of the United States at the next session of congress and the people of Boxelder ask that W. V. Call, a business man of Brigham City, be appointed to that position. Mr. Call has not only been a life long Republican worker, but stands high in his community and has the unanimous support of many counties of the state, including his own. There are fifty applicants for this position which makes it a rather hard task to make a selection, but The Citizen feels that Boxelder County should be recognized, especially when that. county gets behind such a high class man as Mr. Call, who has every qualification for the position he seeks. HOOVER NOT FORWARD. THERE ARE SOME people who cannot understand the attitude of Herbert Hoover in this campaign. They do not think he is putting forth much that of Abraham Lincoln. If the people want him he is willing to serve them with all his might, mind and soul, but he will not force himself upon the people. He is not a political office-seeke- r. Few men. could have gone into war stricken Europe, with all its hatred and bitterness, and succeed in feeding its starving millions as Mr. Hoover did. He proved himself a diplomat, an executive, a statesman and an economist all in one. Every nation in the world recognized the genius of the' man. Financial institutions offered him employment at $100,000 a year. Industrial companies made him promises of that amount as a starter but Mr. Hoover was not interested. He was saving humanity. The British government watched Mr. Hoover. They recognized his unusual ability and finally offered him a post, intimating that there would be a title to it, if he would renounce his citizenship and join them. Ambassador Page was told of the incident and Mr. Hoovers reply. He had always admired Mr. Hoover. The incident so amused him that he wrote President Wilson the facts, giving him Mr. Hoovers reply to the British government, which was: Ill do what I can to help you with pleasure; but Ill be damned if Ill give up my American citizenship not on your life. Yet there are those who have sought to poison the minds of the people by intimating that Mr. Like all other reports Hoover was against the man this also is shown to be false. . pro-Britis- h. SAD PARTING. HAROLD GOFF, managing editor of the Deseret News, has answered the last call and has passed to the life beyond. Life is sweet to all, but after the passing of his beloved wife a few months ago, Mr. Goff began failing and appeared to have lost all interest in this life. Under the conditions he had no fear of death, rather welcomed it because of the continual thought that he would soon be reunited with his wife. In his official capacity at the News he was liked by all the men because he not only believed in doing unto others as he would be done by, but lived it, and all the employes were heartily devoted to him. Slow to criticize and a stickler for the truth, he gained for himself an enviable reputation as a newspaper man and his many friends will miss him. The community can ill afford to lose such men. FEW DUCKS. SOMEONE kidded the Salt Lake Tribune into believing that there are more ducks in Utah than ever and that this year shooting will be as good as at any time in the history of the state. Anyhow, it brought forth an editorial that makes the average duck hunter believe he is in a trance. We still maintain that duck shooting will be poorer this year than ever in the history of the state, and if ducks continue to decrease as they ave during the past three years in another three years 90 per cent of the hunters can junk their shotguns or exchange them for flippers to shoot English sparrows. Many of the duck hunters that went out Wednesday, a few days after the opening, reported with much disappointment that most of the ducks had all disappeared. There was a time when there was a duck for each square foot of water, but now there is about a square mile of water for every duck. There are two. or three clubs at the mouth of the Bear River where shooting, may hold during the season, but pretty hard this to be very hard of the clubs.' We are sorry other clubs are going to be hit year. In another week it is going to get a mess of ducks at many that this condition exists, but it is no use trying to fool the hunters because they find out for themselves how good or bad shooting is. The federal government should have started duck protection twenty-fiv-e years ago and we would not now be confronted with the present situation. It is going to take a lot of hard work to save the duck from extermination now. It was once claimed that the passenger pigeon could not be killed off but there is not a living bird left op the face of the earth. The buffalo was nearly exterminated, and the duck hangs in the balance today. . POLITICS CANT HELP-FARMERS- ! F THE PORTLAND, Oregon, News, in a recent editorial, points out the folly of such proposals as legislative action for farm relief. Logical and progressive farmers are finding it increasingly evident that such measures would not solve their difficulties but would, on the other hand, amplify them. Glass legislation, proposed by political windbags, never is going to help the American farmer-e- r, says the News. The farmer who thinks it is, is deluding himself. If government arbitrarily fixes prices, it wont be long before other lines of industry will demand the same thing. The upshot will be that we shall have a grand orgy of government price fixing and meddling. The farmer may get a little more for his products, but he will pay more for everything else he buys and, in the long run, he will be worse off than he is now. This newspaper, friend of the farmer and ardent supporter of the theory that prosperity in the city depends on prosperity on the farm,, sees in the various fake solutions to the farm problem only trouble for farmer and city man alike. You cannot arbitrarily upset supply-and-dema- nd and not reap the dreadful consequences.
