Will say that all fire fighting equip
ments shown on the convention floor
at the large auditorium we're all mo-
tor driven. The following manufac-
turing companies were represented:
Robinson Fire Apparatus Manufac-
turing Co., American La France Fire
Engine Co., The Webb Co., The Cor
ham-Seagrave Co., The Ahrens-Fox
Co. These engines were all tested
out at the municipal repair shop at
Denver. The suction hose being
about ten feet below the sidewalk,
drawing water from a cistern that
was furnished with water from the
city mains.
am not at this time in possession
of the actual efficiency of the differ
ent pumps but the committee in
charge will have these various tests
all compiled within the next few
days and the same will be published
in the fire and engineering journals.
Blu I will say that with the aid of
Chief Bywater of Salt Lake City and
Chief Garfield of Ogden, made
very careful study and investigation
of all apparatus shown on the floor,
and feel to recommend to the Logan
City Commission and also to the cit
liens of Logan, the purchase of a six
cylinder combination car of about 100
horse power, this will consist of a
pump of about 100 gallons pumping
capacity per minute, a chemical tank
holding about 40 gallons of chemicals
with $50 feet of hose for same, with
room in the body of the machine for
carrying 1000 feet of z1a inch hose,
also two ladders besides all tools and
other equipments too numerous to
mention in this report. Will further
recommend in order that Logan City
may get the very best price possible
to be obtained that they pay cash.

one been taught and given full in

Logan City has made final acceptance
or the car. These terms Logan City

Didn't he support you two years

Had you received the nomination
on the regular Republican ticket you
would have made the race would you
not?"

"And you would have expected Mr..
Merrill's support would you not?"
Philo began to squirm at this point
and would not answer.
"And you would have considered
him traitor to you and the cause
had he have sulked and deserted you
and sought another nomination would

Phlo again looked out into the air
with sealed lips.
Your sole reason then for your &C.

"Oh, but you would have squelched

"Oh, you would have run on the

Is you would have taken the job from

Again Mr.. Austin declined.
Which do you prize most highly
Mr.. Austin, the job or your feelings?"
Again there was "nothin' doin'."

There are at least three other
Salt Lake banks carrying state funds
and as much Of them as the Mer-
chants bank. venture the opinion

sttutional amendment now before

Abiding to the charge that he had
refused to abide by the pledges of
the Republican party in the matter
of an income tax, the governor sta
ted that there was not one word in
the platform upon which he was cleo
ted referring to the income tax.
1.-TWO years ago, the party did in
dorse the national income tax. Upon
investigation / found that in the pro-
posd law there was no maximum Or
minimum limit fixed. Also that money
so raised would go to the United
States and not to Utah. l am in fav-
or of state income tax. AS to the
charge that intended to veto the in
dorsement of the legislature If effect
ed, 1t is hardly necessary for me to
point out that | did not have the
right or power.
Others Opposed Tax,
81 was not alone in my attitude re-
specting the income tax. Governors
OF other states, after reading my mes
sage to the legislature, said that
they were sorry they had Endorsed
the income tax proposition"
Gov. Spry said Attorney-G General
Barnes is entitled to full credit for
the enforcement of the inheritance
tax law, bringing s1,25O,OOO to the
state treasury. He said Mr.. Bacn.s
was responsible for making the law |
self operating. When the heirs APP |
ply to the Union Pacific railroad, he |
cited as an example for transfer |
of stock, the railroad people first de-
certificate from the state |
that the tax has beeh paid. fal'' ,g
which the railroad must pay it.
The governor said that the inher. |
lance tax had made 1t possible for (
The state to conduct its business dur !
ing the past two years without tor-
rowing money. It had been the Gus
tom to borrow about $4O0,O0o year
before this time.
Gov. Spry pointed out that 1914 per
cent of the state revenues are paid
cut for education. This year. he said
The total will be over s4,OO0.010 He
referred to the good roads movement
and stated that, in the last three
Years, more roads have b.en built
han in all the years preceding.
In closing the Governor said
The administration has not had
ime to experiment with all the po-
itical fads that have cropped up. We
ave attended strictly to the busin. ss
II the state, and in so doing the re-
luctlon of the tax levy this yea- VII
mean over 100000 for taxpayers of

Attorney H. G.. Nebeker acted as
hartman of the meeting and the
iyde Park band furnished music.

GOVERNOR SPRY
ADDRESSES RALLY
Continued from Page l.

COutluueu lTOui rage L.
them hurry to Washington and ash
the Republicans to protect them fol
their own household"
Mr.. Carl Farnsworth, accompanied
by Miss Crockett rendered voca
solo. after which Governor Spry was
introduced.
The Governor delivered a most
forceful address, one that appealed
to his hearers, and that was after
wards pronounced as one of the most
effective campaign talks that had ev-
err been delivered in Logan.
He said he had come in the capa-
city of General Manager of the cor
poratlon of the State of Utah, attempt
ing to render a report.
Some men have derided the Re-
publican party" said Gov. Spry, "and
referred to the old party az a "dere-
lict hulk" BE that as 1t may, MI.
Roosevelt was prepared and had
a great desire to steer that hulk last
June. Mr.. Love would have been
just as pleased to represent Utah at
Washington If the Republican party
had given him the nomination, and he
would have thought the hulk quite
seaworthy. II Mr. Morris could have
succeeded Congressman Howell two
years ago, the party would have been
quite good enough for him.
Now, however, the Republican par
ty has fallen into decay because they
did not get the nominations"
Referring to the Chicago conven-
ton the governor said that he as a
member of the credentials committee
could affirm that there has never been
a more honest or fairer nomination
in the history Of politics in the Uni
ted States than the one that went
to Mr.. Taft.
Gov. Spry ridiculed the idea that
the people do not rule. He said no
one but an enemy of his country will
try to defame men in public life.
Handling State Funds.
With reference to the attacks made
upon him in the method of handling
state funds, he said that he appear
ed before the people in the capacity
Of general manager to make his re.
port to the stockholders.

undoubtedly due to the ignorance OF |
those making them" said Governor |
Spry. "The constitution positively |
prohibits any pan from using state |
funds for his own benefit, making him |
felon II he does so. scarcely |
think that anyone will go so far as |
to brand me a felon.
The constitution also makes the
treasurer custodian of the funds and |
no one else has the right to inter-
fere in the matter Of depositing them.
The state board of examiners Of
which the governor Is a member, has
the duty imposed upon IT to see that
the funds are on hand when wanted.
/ am happy to report every dollar be-
longing to the state is on deposit and
well secured.
The state funds are distributed in
fifteen banks throughout the state.
l learned short time ago that am
a director of one OF those banks, the
Merchants bank, in which | own
$1,000 stock Of capitalization of
s25O.OOO. have not attended the
meetings of the directors for two
years. and the fact that am direc.
tor was unknown to me until a few
days ago.

COPENHAGEN. Denmark. Dec. 10
4 fight for the introduction OF military
service for women is in contemplation
by the women OF Denmark, as a sequel
to their expected victory in tho struggle
for wcman's suffrage.
The Danish parliament. they believe,
is almos. certain to pass tho bill giving
women the vote this winter and many
women are beginning TO ask what VIII
become OF tho organizations, which,
formed for the purpose Of securing the
cnfrancbscm Of women. have provld-
cd nany Of them with interesting and
sometimes lucrative positions.
Mrs Emma Cad. the well-known sur

ton OF the difficulty by advising them
10 start campaign for the training OF
Danish girls in nursing and commissa- i
rlat work. which activities she contends S
the women could do much better than
II is now done. She argues that this IS
the only fair thing for women To do
