There is only one dentist to every 1498 persons in the state of Utah, and which is even worse each dentist treats an average of no more than 400 to 500 patients yearly. These statistics, alone with many others of interest to Utah people, were compiled by Shirley Jean Burnham, graduate student at the University of Utah in her study, The Costs of Dental Care in Salt Lake County." Thousands are in need of work they cannot get. WHAT ONE KILOWATT HOUR WILL DO FOR 3 CENTS At the Bonneville and TV A rates one kilowatt hour will wash 70 pounds of clothes in a washing machine, about 2 weeks wash on a farm.

Let us give you some figures. There are 9,000,000 unemployd, mor or less. Out of these 9,000,000 there are 2,000,000 on W. P. A. There are, perhaps, 1,000,000 idle workers in families that have one worker on W. P. A. There are 1,000,000 employable workers on direct relief. Thats 4,000,000. That leaves 5,000,000 unemployed workers with no W. P. A jobs, no W. P. A. relatives, and no direct relief. Not many still have savings left. How do they live? Most of them probably live cm their relatives, or by not paying their grocers and landlords. When they come to the end of these resources, they have to go on relief. These 5,000,000 forgotten men are the reason that relief does not go down when business goes up. Business will have to hire not 1,000,000 workers but several million before it crosses this gap of 5,000,000 and begins to eat into the number on W. P. A. or straight relief. If anyone asks you What are we going to do about unemployment?" you ask him if he thinks business will invest the 0 annually which are reuired to solve the unemployment problem. dont show smaller every time business By May Meyer Geiser Even though many trials had slowly tortured the soul of gentle Mary Dale, she had realised the only great power to which she could turn for aid when eon stantly increasing problems, in addition to wars rapid HOW GOVERNMENT IS RUN FOR THE PEOPLE THE DEAR PEOPLE The following is a picture from the top of bureaucracy, and this picture runs clear down to the smallest office in every state.

We are 100 per cent for all the good in the New Deal, bat then is much to oppose in all this bureaucracy.

It is Just plain good politics. I imagine many members of the house and the senate feel that way, too. They believe they can always find justification for voting money to farmers. While none can say definitely what goes on in the President's mind, there are many who believe Mr. Roosevelt would have preferred to see congress raise the present debt 0, limit from $45,000,000,000 to rather than take him so seriously on the suggested reduction in spending. It seems logical. He offered three propositions in his message: retrenchment in expenditures, raising the debt limit, and laying new taxes. Now, most anybody knows that congress will do very little about new taxes in an election year.

While William Bruckart feels It is a bit too early to make a definite forecast that the President and congress will come to blows over governmental items like the budget, economy, waste, and spending, he feeli that congress has set the stage for such a battle. Naturally, tha President doesn't want such a battle but his opponents don't mind, says Bruckart. for added money. As of this time, then, congresa surely has gone forward In a most determined fashion to cut off some of the excess spending. It has resisted pressure thus for. The battle lines are wall formed thus far. But, as I laid at ths beginning, one cannot predict with finality concerning the course of congressional temper when primaries are getting closer.
