It la expected that bringing these various reclamation projects and the problems of individual farmers under the direct assistance of the Division will find solutions far more readily and permanently than If left to the Individual to solve, and Mr. Hagle urges that Utahns do all In their er power to further the reclamation program In this state. (Editorial) Governor Herbert B. Slaw already haa shown his determination for reform in Utah, evidenced by his inaugural address, and by his message to the legislature. Response has been general throughout the state one comment ' being tbat Maw is the first real governor since Brigham Young perhaps that is because he is the first governor nominated by the people, under the direct primary law. At any rate it is evident he has the people behind him. Thefonly question remaining is: Has he the legislature behind him? The next 60 J days will prove that. This year ought to make history in Utah the legislature gets wholeheartedly behind Maw's platform which was announced before the election, and undoubtedly was responsible for electing him, despite all the smear politics and efforts Of certain educational and religious circles in this state. ' Governor Maws platform la and not all of it can be accomplished in one year. We should however get the perspective if. we wish to assist him in his efforts toward needed reforms. First, he is interested mainly in public welfare, rather than private profit oU special privilege. This goes a long way toward solving all of Utah's problems. That is the basic reason why; this state is "The Poor little Rich State, as the Governor himself named it. Special privilege has bogged down upon the people unmercifully. Wages are bound to be low, especially in the mining industry, which id Utahs major industry, when $2 in dividends are paid for each dollar paid in wages, as is so well known in some of the major mining enterprises in this state. Likewsie, purchasing power of the people is sure to be lower when the highest rate structures for utility companies anywhere in the United States prevail here. Provos electric power experiment already proves the vast profits the Utility companies have been nuking. Millions of profits have been flowing into the pockets of the special interests, and flowing out of the pockets of consumers. It is estimated by nationally known engineering firms that Salt Lake City could save itself a million dollars a year by owning its own electric utility. Provo is saving its people more than $130,000 yearly right now, and they have just begun to operate their own business. If Governor Maw means what he says about the Public interest he is certainly going to see to it that the benefits of Utahs modem Revenue Bond financing are made available to every Municipality in the state. He will guard against any Power Trust veto of this law which has been attempted at every legislative session since it was passed. Secondly, Governor Maw indicates he intends to investigate the field of wages and taxes, for the benefit of the common people. Here again he win run into conflict with the exploitive corporations, whose special interests run counter with those of the people themselves. Workers must share in the production profits and the Mg Corporations and Utilities must not be allowed to pervert service dubs, civic organizations, chambers of commerce, labor unions, and the daily newspapers, for the sole purpose of controlling a real job for his new i' give the people the truth INDEPENDENT Variety Show To Benefit Utah National Guard Members Leaving Monday it.

In fact Utah must cease being governed by Commissions of one sort and another, and the entire business of government must be brought back under the control of the electorate. Thirdly, elections themselves must be made free, and removed from corrupt practices, as was so evident in the 1940 election. It is no secret where the smear campaign got its funds, and neither is it any secret that only a fraction of the expenses of that campaign ever was reported as required by law. Startling evidence already is being unearthed as to where these "slush funds came from, and we expect Governor Maw to back up Federal investigators in bringing corrupt corporation and utility practices out into the open, and to enact more drastic election laws to avoid such things in the future. Fourthly, in the matter of new industries being invited to Utah, and other industries being encouraged, we know of none more important than the development of Utah coal, especially in the matter of processing it to eliminate the smoke nusiance of Utahs cities. Such a policy would stimulate the coal industry, especially with state assistance. Fifthly, the people need protection from a number of ills which beset their paths. One of these is the loan shark business in this state. If you do not know what this means, you are a happy person indeed May the need never arise when you are forced to understand it by sad experience. But if you are interested in the personal welfare of your fellow men, just a little investigation will make your eyes stand out. You also will . feel like doing something about Finally, Governor Maw proposes reducing the number of boards and government agencies down to about ten or eleven. This means a direct cut in the cost of government. Already the boys are shouting Do you want SERVICE or dont you? Well, altogether too much of our government is service only to those who hold the jobs. The people would all be better off with less "service. Today about half the people are working for the government, and are being paid by the other, half of the working people, and only about half of all' the people are working at all. That is a basic and major reason for the mess we are in. Governor Maw has the right idea reduce the cost of government. , Americas Defense Program strikes home but pleasantly!
