Show THE UTAH STATESMAN, JANUARY 24, 1929. ghf Utah gtatremanat House Names Its Members "A state political newspaper, published every Thursday Salt Lake City,' Utah. The aim of this paper la to keep Pat 0 Tha Utah Press association, whose members are en as gaged in the business of molding public opinion as well when sentiment are popular clearly expressing it, reflecting tViffir riamanrl legislation which shall guarantee a closer check on public funds and shall prescribe severer penalties for mis- appropriation of them. Small wonder, in view of recent sensational events, that the people of the sta.c should be roused to a pitch of righteous indignation over inexcusable laxity in methods, gross dishonesty in officials and generally inadequate punishments. The editors of the papers constituting the state press association merely make this popular anger articulate; and when they announce their intention of using their columns in securing the legislative changes requested, it is a dumb, stubborn and defiant set of lawmakers that will dare to deny their demand. "Nobody is big enough to be able to afford to ignore What is called the 'country press,' though some 'smart' people are so ignorant as to try to treat it contemptuously. The country newspaper with the courage of its convictions and the ability to give them utterance, wields a power that is more often felt than seen. In a very definite sense it is the keeper of the conscience of its constituents. If it lives up to the enjoyment of its prerogatives it is the recognized champion of that which is wholesome and sound and beneficial; it is the outspoken and vigilant foe of stagnation and evil. Many a rural community has been made widely and favorably known by the quality of its local newspaper. Many a leader of extended lame and nigh repute naa graduated to his greater honors from the columns of the 'country press.' ' Deseret News. THE U. E. A. VERSUS THE TAXPAYERS ASSOCIATION. There is at the present time a controversy raging be tween the Utah Taxpayers Association and the Utah Edu cational Association.
