UTAH POTASH WILL
BREAK GERMAN TRUST
Continued from Page One.)

Utah deposits their time and attention
throughout the last twelve months. If
even a small portion of the plans now
on foot are brought to Il successful con-
summation, Utah will take the very
first place as producer of American
potash, thereby adding to its wealth
and fame. relieving the American con
sumner from the throat hold now held
by Germany, and the American gov
ernmcnt from the necessity of frequent
diplomatic campaigns in the fruitless
endeayor to give American interests 4
square deal III the German fields.
The effect at Marysvale will be the
employment of several thousand men
in the mines and mills, and the expen-
diture of hundreds of thousands of dol.
lars in the development and production
OF this virgin resource.

poists have been known for years, but

Women Ask Reforms.

The organizations represented by Mrs
Cook had suggested that the speed or
automobiles I'm the downtown district be
limited to six miles an hour; that all
operators OF self-propelied vehicles must
pass an examination as to ability and
habits OF life. particularly sobriety: before
being granted license to operate such
a machine; that violation OF the speed
provision be punished by a suitable"
fine, whlo intoxication shall be punlsha
BILE by n cancellation OF license; that all
children be forbidden to romp or play on
the streets In such manner as to cause
annoyance to the operators OF machines,
and violation be punished by arrest and
arraignment In the Juvenile court.
The suggestion pertaining 10 the speed
OF automobiles and the punishment for
violation on sliding scale. Attorney

VISITING IN CITY
Former Salt Laker Back From
Philippines for a Short
Stay.
IN GOVERNMENT SERVICE
Talks of Success of Postal Saw
ings Banks in the
Islands.

Willis T. Bcardsley. chief OF tho postal
savings bank i'm the Philippine Islands,
where the banks were first established,
Is "A visitor in Salt Lake City. lie was
formerly n resident OF Utah and occupied
some responsible positions here before
entering the government service. He
was city auditor FOR Ogden for eight
years, from which position he went To
Washington TO become assistant disburs-
ing officer in the United States senate.
In 1902 lie went 10 the Philippines and
has since had charge OF the establish
inent and operation of the postal savings
banks there.
The following statement was made yes
terday by Mr.. Beavdsley;
7 lett Manila April 10 and arrived
here today. MY motheS', Mrs NJ. II.
Beardsley. lives in Los Angeles and
] spent some time there before COM
ing to Salt Lake city. ] shall visit
here and at Ogden for week or so
and then return TO Los Angeles where
shall spend the remainder OF my va
cation. ! shall return to the Islands
this fall.
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1912-08-09
Educating Natives.

The idea Of the government in
establishing the postal savings bank
In the Philippines was TO educate
the natives as well AS TO furnish them
with "A convenience, The people
there had been held down so long by
the old government that they natur-
ally mistrusted anything that the
government did and il was some time
before they could be induced 10 put
their money in the bank. Some Of
them would deposit money and then
only a few minutes sfterwar nd would
draw II out merely 10 see whether
they could do so or not. After they
had tried this experiment they would
leave the money la the bank.
When ] left Manila there were 81
900 depositors, about so per cent of
whom We're natives. The amount de-
posted WAS about 2.T50.000 pesos,
which are equivalent TO 30 cents each.
There is a gold standard system of
currency there which is supported by
the United states government and Is
stable. Before the postal bank was
established the natives In the outlying
districts had no place To keep their
money and consequently lived
hand to mouth existence. The banks
have changed this and 7 think have
been successful although the expenses
have so far exceeded the assets.

Travellers Attract Crowd.

The appearance of the queer little
cavalcade trudging up Main street at the
noon hour attracted a crowd that al
most blocked the street. Mrs. Conro. a
little woman upon whom the long over
land march seemed TO have had little
affect other than to tan her gentle fea =
would have pushed on through the town;
but her husband was Inclined TO friend
liness. He told story Of persecution
and loss at the hands OF the Mexican
rebels and OF the long flight to a land
Of safety. He said:
Four months ago I had a thriving
farm and was prospecting by growing
oranges. Then came the rebel dis
turbances, Mexican friend of mine

that band Of rebels was coming
up the valley bent on trouble. We
packed what We could on the burros
