Kiwanis Plans Mu- -: seum for School In the last meetnlg of the Bing-ham Kiwanis Club, January 22nd, tentative plans were made for a museum to be located in the new high school bulding at Copperton. where suitable space for such an undertaking will be reserved. It is contemplated that in this museum the story of Bingham from 4 Pioneer days up to the present will be depicted in various forms; by re lies, photographs, documents, etc., and also the story of the mining Industry here will be shown in a similar manner: that models will ( te constructed showing various phases of development In the In-dustry and that one of the principal exhibits will be a large topograph-ic model of the district. This project Is undertaken with the idea that it will prove to be something of general interest to the people of the community, that it will tell a complete story of the camp to the visitor and that It will he of great educational Value to the' students of the school. To carry a venture of such mag- - nitude through to a successful fin-ish Kiwanis invites the cooperation of all organizations, the school fac-ulty and student body, the board of education, and the town board of trustees s well as the various min-ing companies and all Individuals, iwho are Interested. - Dr. Paul Richards, representative froaj Bingham on the Jordan dis-trict Hoard of Education, who is re-sponsible for this splendid idea, was In charge of the program. The guest speaker was Dr. Edgar M. Ledyard of the United States Mining Oompany organization, who told of many interesting points In . the history of Utah and Bingham and gave many helpful suggestions with reference to this project. He also promised his help and the sup-- . port of his company. ' 'Mr. Thomas McMullln, Principal spoke on behalf of the school facul-- ' " ; ty. In Mr. McMullln's opinion, a , uuiwttuin such offered excep-tional educational opportunities for the students especially to those who would participate in Its continua-tion, In history, literature, art and scientific research. Mr. Walter Bolic, President of w tlie Btudent Body, spoke briefly, the appreciation of the students. On behalf of Mr. W, W Wilson, President of the Board of Educa-tion, Dr.' Richards promised all possible cooperation from the Board and stated that the largest plans should be made as soon as possible, within the next two weeks, so that e the school building could be ar ranged accordingly. President Norden changed the Public Affairs Committee," Louis , Buchman, chairman, Russell Fra-zler, Wayne Shelley, Geo. Earl, C. L. Countryman, leland Walker, H. B. Aven, with this Job and it Is ex-pected thnt by the time the new High School Is ready for occupancy this work will be well under way. Rev. D. A. McCleneghan reported for the committee on employment and stated that It was the concen-sus of opinion of this body that the County Commission should again be urged to lend some aid in this critical situation, and moved that a letter le presented to the com-mission which met with the unani-mous approval of the club. In the letter which was sent to the County Commlsisoners it was pointed out that the Relief Com-mittee has raised about $2,000 dol-lars for local relief which sum is practically exhausted and .that un-ie- r these circumstances the Com-- aj mission should appropriate an amount from the improvement fund to be expended in public improve-ment and maintenance and at the same time give work to the unem-ployed of the Bingham district. USE OF NATURAL FOREST GROWS Increased Appropriation and Mere HELP NEEDED Receratlonal use of the Wasatch National Forest has grown so fast that the present force of forest ran-gers Is entirely Inadequate, ae equate, according to Supervisor A. O. Nord, who with Assistant Su-pervisor Blaine Betenson Is now in conference with C. N. Woods and Dana Parkinson from the Regional Forester's office at Ogden, Utah. The pressur of grazing work, timber sales, road and trail con-struction, range Improvements, and so forth has left the rangers only from l to 14 days annually for handling over 128000 campers, tour-ists, and other pleasure seekers who visit these mountain play grounds. Additional help for Cot-tonwood Canyon, Mill Creek Can-yon, the Mount Tlmpanogas region, Mirror Lake region, Provo River region and for Granddaddy Lake Lakes Is badly needed. Recreational use on the Wasatch Natlonul Forest Is greater than for any national forest of the Inter-mountai- n region but funds avail-able for such work are being reduc-ed although the work Increases. The unemployment situation, the trend toward shorter working day, the Increase in leisure time, and the vast sums expended on roads all point toward even greater use ol mountain receratlonal areas. The Forester has urged Congress to recognize and provide for handl-ing this situation. Until this is done the canyons and mountain play-grounds tributary to Salt Labs and other Utah communities cannot be properly-- ' cared for or developed. Regional Forester R. H. Kutledge, however, Is endeavoring to furnish extra help for the Wasatch Forest this year at the expense of other work as he believes the urgency fully Justifies this move. He recog-nntze- s fully, however, much more help Is needed. THE COPPER IEAR Durnlg 1930 the copper Industry was severely affected by the world wide Industrial dereaslon. Both pro-duction, and consuuiptolu took sharp drops. In 1929 domestic production of copper totaled 1,983,000,000 pounds, as compared, with 1,485,000,000 pounds In 1930. However, at the end of 1930 about 607.000,000 pounds remained In rtock, more than double the reserve of 0 pounds at the end of 1929. And where 903,000,000 pounds of the metal were exported in 1920, only 081,000,000 pounds wont during 1930. This is the old story of n and decreasing eonctimp-tlon- , which has demoralized a num-ber of other industries. In the case of copper, Increased demand may materialize In the nenr future, hu. it is doubtful if It will 1 sufficient to absorb present production, and take up the existing surplus. The only cure for the condition Is cur-tailment, and mining leaders are now seeking to put into effect a scientific production program that will give the industry a chance to itself on a living basis and bring normal prosperity to mi-ning communities. The Constitution Be Damned Early Inst fall menilters of the Ctah Slate Press association in va-rious district meetings throughout the state adopted a resolution to the effect thnt the organization would fight tq the bitter end the seating any member' In the state legislature whq already held a pub-lic office. Such seating, the Press assocatlon holds, U contrary to the Utah state constitution, article six. section six of which says : "Xo per-son holding any public office of profit or trust under authority of the t'nlted States or of this stale, shall Ik a mnaler of the legislut- - The adoption of the resolution was made with the knowledge fresh In mind tha taeveral previous legis-latures had illegally held as riuun-bor- s nien who simultaneously' serv-ed their respectlvcs cities as coun-cllme- n or recorders, or their school districts as members of the board of education. This, disregard of the state constitution the members of the Press association desired to pre-vent in the present and future leg-islatures. n lien iue !rewiu iCKimmuie con-vened the Press association through Its officers protested the seating of W, D. Hammond of Mo-a- b on the ground that he already held one public office In Utah, that of member of the board of education of the Grand county school district. The state legislature referred the matter to Its committee (,n elctlons. After due deliberation, the com-mit tee spoke. Of course, no one was surprised to hear the decision. You could hardly have expected any-thing else from 'LAWMAKERS. In substance the committee said that though the constlutlon of the state Indicated that Mr. Hammond was not entitled to I seated still they held that ONLY the house Itself bad the authority to say who is en-titled to sit as a member of the legislature. j.!,.. In ohter words, THE CONSTI-TUTION BE DAMNED. WE ARE LAWMAKERS AND CAN DO AS WE PLEASE ABOUT SUCH MAT-TERS. Isn't funny tha tome legislators, mayors, city commissioners, county commlsslonere, and police officers, who have been elected or apolnted by the people to MAKE and EN-FORCE laws, seem to get the edea that laws are only for the other fel-low and NOT for them. They are above the law and can do as they see fit wtbout fear of reprimand. We hear much nowadayys about LAW ENFORCEMENT. Undoubt-edly the mmebers of the election committee who have decided that Mr, Hammond should be seated re-gardless of the constlutlon, have made more than one speech before getting to the legislature on the question of LAW ENFORCE-MENT. Can it be they like thous-ands and tens of thousands throughout the nation have the idea that LAW ENFORKMENT ONLY CONCERNS ONE LAW PROHIBITION? We wouldn't be at all surprised If Mich Is the case because this country appears more every day to have liecome n ONE LAW (NATION. If the members of the Utah leg-islature In session now assembled, desire to set a good example for LAW ENFORCEMENT they should see to it that the eonstltu-tlo-n is oleyed in the Hammond case. If they don't, they merely serve notice on the people of I'tah to do as they please law or no law. One law should not be considered more holy than another. They should ATJL be enforced or removed from the statutes Immediately. The LAWMAKERS who have sworn to uphold the constitution of the state should not discard It a week after taking such an oath. Daily Herald. Gas Tax and Others During 1931, according to the American Petroleum Institute, ef-forts will be made to Increase the gasolnie tax In at least sixteen slates. In 1930 the public paid 0 lu gas taxes, establishing a new high record $73,000,000 above the 102) total. Even in depression years the tax collector prosers. At present, in a typical state, about 20 per cent of the retail price of gasoline goes to the government The public is willing to pay a reasonable gas tax but there is eon- - stunt pressure to increase Mils tax just as there Is constant pressure to Increase evry other tax. At the lfith annual convention of the Natoinal association of State Auditors, Comptrollers and Treas-urers, held in New York recently. W. S. Johnson, State Treasurer of West Virginia, said states must to live within their income the name as the frugal housewife does in the home. "I am convinced," he contin-ued, "that at least forty cents of very tax dollar in the United States is wasted." The average wage earner, he de-clared, eontrbiutes one day's work each week for taxes. Individual and tiusinoss institutlone lust year hail a total Income of over $87,000,000-000- , of which $13,000,000,000 wns taken for taxes, aecordulg to Mr. Johnson. Governments are over-manned by C5 per cent, h said, and one person out of every ten works for the government, national, state or local, The. people wll never get tax re-lief so long as they acquiesce quiet-ly to tax Increases, or accept new methods of taxation which, lu real-ity, are a sort of legislative buck passing. Talkng a tax dolllar off one knid of property and putting it on another benefits no one In the long run.

Though it is a far cry from the time when Washington led his small army in the successful struggle to attain those principles, yet, the pas-sage of time has made them no less dear or no less worthy of sacrifice. Let not the ideals which the Fath-er of Our Country sought to Instill as Its Indelible characteristics be forgotten in this modern age. Next year the 200th anniversary of Washington's bltrh will be cele-brated. A nation-wid- e program Is being prepared In which all organi-sations are asked to participate. Some of the Interesting national features of the bicentenary will be the restoration of Washington's birthplace at Wakefield, Va. i the dedication of the twelve-mil- e high-way to connect the National Capi-tal with Washington's home at Mt.
