Mr. Hocking is an active member of the department and although he haa been such for more than 20 years he ls just as deeply interested in the or-ganization as ver. His election by acclamation came as an added com-pliment and indicates the confidence in which he Is held by the members of the organization. Mr. A. A. Macke, who has been Pre-sident of the department for the past year gave a brief outline of the ac-complishments during bis adnilnistra tion. He complimented the members for their loyal support Mr. Macke has devoted much time and thought to the welfare of the fire-men's organization and his efforts have accomplished much, not alone In a general way but also in a specific way, Mr. Macke is of the State Firemen's Association, in whose council he stands high. Durlmt the past year the City has added ,a new chemical fire truck to the equip-ment of the department, the firemen have been put under the protection of th Workman' Compensation act and new automatic sirens have been in-stalled.

These with numerous other activities mark the accomplishments of the past year. After the installation of the new officers the meeting adjourned into' an eating contest, the usual excellent luncheon was served. BIG LEAGUE GAME Copper and Arthur will lock horni tonight in their Initial battle of the Copper League season at the R, c. Gemmell Memorial Club. It is a fore-gone conclusion that the fans will witness t superior brand of basketball In the Copper League this year. The "'" players have been selected from a wide range of choice among the very beat players to be found In the Inter mountain "district. One of the diffi-culties has been to decide Just who tho personell ol the different teams should be, being selected from such a large number of choice timber. More than the usual turnover has taken place tills year, and them will be many new faces in the lineup of the various teams when ' the first whistle blows Whether all will make good or whether some of those who have starred for their teams will be called back, will remain to be seon. Many things go into the making of an athlete and many more into tha making of a team. Unity, confidence, courage, attitule and a spirit to, wlu for the honor of the team, are a few to thenj. None of these should how- - fVfr Airor-liorln- uf V, A i manshlp and fair play as well as good fellowship toward each team and indi-vidual member ; of each team In tho circuit., in due credit to the members ' of tl:e League, it should i be stated that this good old spirit . has hereto-- ( fore been dominant.

As has been the case at the opening of the season many times since the Bingham High has played In the division, it was npces feary to build an entirely new team of unexperienced players this year. Tommy and his teams have always been imbued with the spirit and de termination to give the very best th'-- had and In so doing have repeatedly drawn high honor to the school and the town of Bingham. The fans of Bingham are loyally be-hind their team and give them the de-served support. This spirit of loyalty lias perhaps done more than any one thing to bring the numerous vistorles here. Judging tlie future by the past wc have every reason to expect much fio;u the lomil team this year and we extend congratlations to them over the victorious start they have made this year.

In fhe reception lino were Governor and Mrs. Dern and other elective officers of tho state of Utah, and their wives. For more than au hour they stood, ex changing greetings with thousands who fell In line to wait their turn to pxtend congratulations. At the county seat there was almost a complete turnover, only fourytar term officers remain there. Two new County Commissioners succeed Mr. Labruiu and Mr. Stenaker. B. F. Quinn and E. E.

In the eoniniisslonership there seems to be a general sigh of relief among'the constituants upon the change. So much internal strife lias existed there for a long time, that the people have grown 'weary of the quar rels and welcome a change. Whatever individual ability may have been pos sessed by members of the commission was destroyed by harassing. Jealous quarreling and jangling among them.

New Laws For School i The Utah MucaUonXst ri?J2.? ito.!?Wrested in three poposltions which will be pres-ented to the state legislature which opens on the 14th of this month. All three have direct bearing Upon the educational welfare of the state and If enacted into law will , do much toward helping Utah to regain her former rating in matters of education among the various states in the Union. i In 1920, acording to report made by Dt, Leonard P. Ayers of the Russell Sage Foundation, Utah holds ulxth place in public school affairs among the forty eight states in our country. Another report, made public In 1925 by Dr. Frank B. Phillips of George Washington University, places Utah twenty-iflrs-t from the head of the list. In both cases the reports cover prac tically the same features ; and give practically the same weighing to the Various factors considered. The U. E. A. Is hopeful that our next state legislature will enact measures look ing to: 1. ; Greater state aid for school pur poses and a more equitable distribu-tion of the state school fund' so aa to forces which produced thlj slipping are still In operation and no doubt, a like report made at the present time would show that Utah is still further from the position held by her in 1920. If shoud not be inferred from these statements that the school system of Utah Is going backward. There is no doubt but what she is doing just as good school work now as she dldjln 1920, and In . some respects making slight gains, but in comparison with other states of the Union she is fall-ing farther and farther behind. A study; of the figures which Justify these, observations shows that the factor over which the local and state boards of education have direct con-trol are, in the main, the ones in which the state has maintained Its standing and made its gains, and that those over which the state legislature has direct control are the ones in which the state has been losing ground. In view of these considerations the provide, as far as possible, uniform ducational opportunities for all boys and girls of the state. 2 An amendment to the state con-stitution so that property might be classified for assessment and taxation purposes to the end thtt the school funds might be more adequately fin anced by drawing upon tax sources which at present are not standing their just share of taxation responsi-bility. 3. An amendment to the state con-stitution making it possible to have the state superintendent of public in structlon chosen and elected by a nonpartisan state board of education and thus remove tho position from political control. To have better schools it is neros sary to provide better teachers, better teaching facilities, and the like, and to satisfy these demands more re venue Is imperative and changes in school organization are needed. Kiwanis History Chicago, Jan. 1. "We need to ag-gressively promote in 1929 the build-ing of Kiwanis clubs in every city and town that needs and wants Klwanih and can meet the requiremetns of our organization," O. Sam Cummlngs, of Kansas City, president of Kiwanis International, declared today to 29 district governors elect, who will take office and assist in the promotional ' work in the United States and Cana-da. "'Kiwanis has had an excellent growth since its founding In Detroit in January, 1915. At present we have 1750 clubs wlt't over 102,000 members. In thi past four years the membership lias been Increased over 12,000. "We are not however. Interested In extension In order that we may boast We must promote extension in order . ' that thousands of men may benefit and become a benefit to Kiwanis, and that hundreds of communities get a new and invaluable instrumentality at the disposal of their citizens." Because this organization has a se-lective membership tho building of more units will mean strict classlftca tion. Only two men from each pro-fession or business In a community can become members of a club, but this makes for a membership with widely diversified interests. j Besides a business clasification, each propectlve member must also meas-ure up to other obligations. 'The man seeking Kiwanis affilia-tion should first of all be interested In his felow men," Mr. Cummlngs says. "Then be must willingly give his time and service to humanity, and at all times he must measure up to that high personal integrity and con-duct expressed in the" true meantngiof the word gentleman." GONZALES HELD ON SECOND DE-GREE MURDER CHARGE. Mike Leyba, who was shot on New Year's day, in the Cairo Club at Cop Per Field by Antonio Gonzales, died on January 2nd at a local hospital. A coroner's jury was empaunelled on Thursday when an inquest was con ducted In Judge R. H. Kenner's court The Jury consisted of L. Spencer, John Davis, and J. E. Bennett. After hear-ing testimony of the witnesses, the jury rendered a verdict that Leyba came to his death as a result of gun shot wounds inflicted not felonious. Attorney A. C. Cole represented Gonzales at the Inquest and the State was represented by Assistant County Attorney Cowley. It developed that about fifty men wero in the place at the time of the shootingi but very few of them would admit that they saw the encounter, however one or two of them finally admitted seeing the gun with which the shooting was done in the hands of Gonzales and testified that Leyba remarked when he entered the place that "This is the man I want," or Words to that effect. It developed that Leyba was unarm ed at the time although reports to the conrary were circulated. On recommendation of the Counts-Attorney- , Gonzales was held in the county jail and a charge of niurdet in the second degree . has been filed against him." LIFE SAVING COURSE. . The Red Cross Is fortunate In be-ing able to announce an Institute for the training of Life Saving Examiners at the IH'seret Gymasium from Jan. 14 to 17, inclusive. Mr. Harold Ten wllltger and Mr. Ralph Carlson of the staff of the national organization who are experts in this line, will con-duct the work.
