SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, APRIL 27, 1929 Volume 39 Number 42 ' ;. 1TN the passing of William Spry, for eight years governor of the state of Utah, and. to within a few days of his death active as commissioner of the general land office of the , United States, ' Utah loses a staunch friend, a beloved citizen, and a distinguished character. His death is mourned by thousands, while his achievements, are written across the history of the state and nation in pages of history that will never be erased. The Citizen joins with the thousands of commoners who mourn the demise of a friend. To realize the efforts of the man.- is to pay tribute to the indominitable courage that brought him from a stable boy to the highest honor the state could bestow upon him. It was that same courage that enabled him to defy party, lines and favoritism in the fine administration of the office of governor during the eight years he served the people of Utah as its chief executive. His record of twenty years of public service stands unassailed. There is not a blot on that record during his term as governor, and the integrity of the man is established beyond smirch in the mere statement that dining all the manipulation of oil leases under the Harding administration in which he was appointed, Governor Spry was not implicated in the slightest degree. As Governor Spry returns to .the state which, he so nobly served, The Citizen pauses with the thousands to assure him a place in the hall of Utahs favored sons. Spry . - We Need An Air Cop HPHE second busiest airport in the United States in point of official connections is without any field regulations except such safety rules as the fliers themselves observe. The Salt Lake port, despite its' phenomenal growth, has no means of regulation either for fliers or for the crowds who gather at the port daily to become familiar with this new busi- ness of the air. One of the attaches at the port suggested Sunday that there was evident necessity of a system to safeguard planes landing, those taking off, and to - provide policing for the crowds. The former method is easy of accomplishment. Obviously, the right .of way at the field should belong to the mail planes of the five lines that center here. Sunday, the east bound mail plane was delayed for ten minutes while two planes were brought to. ground.
