Repeal of !. !. Act.

The drainage issue is now up to the

majority Of whose members are al
ready pronounced opponents of the
defeated scheme, now begin the work
of undoing all of the mischief that the
schemers have committed, so far as a
cure is possible. Why not repeal the

remaining in the states possession in
the custody of an inexpensive COM

Delegation of Powers.

The people should demand of their
members in the legislature a strict
account for all their doings there.
They should insist that no more drain
age amendments be sent out to agi-
tate the state and cause outsiders to

nor how capable they may be.-St.

Of President Garfield, was kept await

81 think the existence of the Demo-

do / think so after considering this
speech Of a man who may truthfully be
called trained statesman, although his
idea of what our government should be
Is abhorrent TO me.
HE proposes as policy what we
may call the destruction OF the state

Of the state power to the federal power
in Washington. The fight of the Dem
ocratic party against this idea goes
hack to tho days preceding the adop-

that we owe the fact that a federal

The fruit growers OF Salt Lake coun-
ty are now thoroughly awake to the
need OF better facilities for handling the
fruit crop of the county. For years
there has been tremendous waste Of
fruit and low prices have generally
prevailed through lack Of systematic
effort and extensive planting has been
discouraged, Altogether too much time
has been spent In marketing the crop
and too little time spent in caring for
the orchard.
The state board of horticulture took
the matter In hand last summer and
three cars OF fruit were shipped from
Murray as an experiment. The ship
ping proved quite satisfactory TO the
growers and they are now organizing
and getting ready for next seasons
business.
j. Edward Taylor, secretary OF the
state board OF horticulture addressed
the meeting and gave some facts con-
corning the fruit growers organizations
of other western states. He also told
Of the rapidly growing commercial spir-

yocacy Of a high taxed credit cur

for great elasticity in currency but
expressed the opinion that the plan
formed BY the American Bankers as
ISOLATION win not bring about suffi-
cient elasticity to be very useful.
Granting that the bankers plan re-
suits in the Issuance OF 100000, 900

shaw said that In his opinion not
more than $20,000,000 worth OF these

with too much machinery for the linn
tied good results he feels Il r. capable
OF accomplishing He said no did not
want to be regarded as an opponent
Of the measure suggested by the
banks because he felt that any step
toward relieving the demand for
greater elasticity at certain seasons
Of the year was desirable but he ar
gued that the committee strive 10
frame more effective measure.
II was urged by the secretary that
an effort should be made 10 make all
our currency more elastic rather than

reason why private banks should seek

and consequently they would make
no effort TO do so.
