Good roads would be a bless
ing to this county if the tax pay
ers could see their way clear to
build them, but the enormous
burden of taxation now being
placed upon the people will make
it a difficult matter to suggest an
increase. We have a horde of
senseless, expensive and useless
boards, and "so-called commits
sions' and a state capitol filled
with high salaried clerks whose
principal occupation is drawing
their salaries, and until these
things are remedied an increase
of taxable burdens will not be
considered. Let us proceed to
right this wrong imposed upon
the taxpaying public then take
up this question of good roads. =

TOOK THE CURRYCOMB.

Who uses a currycomb to comb
his hair? This question is being
asked by the manager of a local
cafe, who within the past few
months has placed no less than
eighteen combs in the washroom
of the cafe, all of which were
stolen as fast as they were pur-
chased. Becoming disguised
with the petty thieving he de-
cided that he would buy a curry
comb and chain it to the wall.
A few days later he discovered
that someone had taken chain,
comb and all now he has adopted
the motto mo combs. !" All of
which is of Phoenix, so says the
Democrat.

We learn from the SNOWFLAKE
HERALD that the Smith family
held a reunion at Snowflake on
September 6. That, we recall
now, was the day when there
was a report of an INDICATED
seismic disturbance, supposed to
be caused by a depression of the
surface of the earth somewhere
in the intermountain region and
a fitting up of it in other places.
These Smith family reuni ons need
international regulation if the

EUCENICS IN OUR
PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Study! We hear good deal about
eugenics in our public schools. We ought
to encourage n w thoughts new ideas,
but why not teach a higher patriotism
first? We were greatly impressed by
one sentence in the annual message of
Governor Spry of Utah. He said: eff
our schools We're compelled to incorpor-
ate in their courses f study compre-
hensive training along this line, with
frequent lessons in patriotism we would
develop generation of loyal, patriotic
voters in whose hands the votes would
shortly become an instrument of princi-
pie and not a weapon of personality. I"
Governor Spry spoke of 'our aggravated
condition of political unrest" He found
that this was not so mnch the result of
fundamental wrongs in our system o f
government as it was an outgrowth of
indifference and thoughtlessness. w e
wish these words might impress them
selves on the mind of every reader. We
are not surprised that after writing this
patriotic text, Governor Spry quoted in
his message, an editorial from Leslie S
urging respect for the constitution of
the fathers, obedience to the laws
the land, even-handed justice for a II,
right living and right thinking" Good
for UtahL Leslies.
IN Minnesota the need for trained
teachers o f agriculture and domestic
science is great that the school of
agricultural technology at the state uni
versity has taken for its main work the
preparation Of teachers for these sub
jects.

To what extent the Pullman
company depends on the tips
given by passengers to porters
as means of paying the porters
a living wage.
Why is it that the upper berths
are pulled down when not occu-
pied? Why it is that passengers
are frequently told that there
are no lowers left" and. the next
morning on climbing down the
ladder out of an upper berth, the
passenger is frequently confron-
ted with a long line Of lowers
that are not occupied and have
not been?
Why it it that berths are so
frequently sold more than once?
What rules govern the porters
in making down the berths at
night, and why is it a passen-
ger connot get them made down
when wanted?
This is only the beginning of
the investigation that will be un-
dertaken.

MINATED 100000.

The minated condition of H.
900, 900 adult men and women in
the United states has led Con-
servation Commissioner Ritten-
house of the Equitable Life AS
surance Society to issue an ap-
peal for early marriages. In
this position he has the support
of the majority of the social re-
formers.
The excuse commonly given
for postponing wedlock is the
high cost of living, and high
standards set up by young wom-
en-. Manageable men say the
girls expect them to begin where
their fathers left off.
Quite often, though, the real
hitch lies in the vanity of the
men. When they marry their
wives must have the biggest hat,
the longest feather, the fiuffiest
dress of any woman in town.
And the home with it's furnish
ings is to be built to correspond,
To offer a girl less hurts pride.
They won't admit that they have
not assembled the band wagon of
large success. So they adhere
to single life, with incidentals of
more or less loose living that do
not make them any better risks
for Mr.. Rittenhouse's insurance
company.
Men of this type put the pro-
position up to their girl friends.
They will find plenty of them
that are willing to begin on a five
room fiat basis, if they have the
right man for a comrade.
For a minority of the girls the
irreducible minimum includes mo-
tors. jewelry, furs, travel and
good servants. That their mani
cured fingers should ever come
in contact with the frying pan
appears grotesquelly impossible.
They get the goods for which
they are shopping, But love is
an Incidental they will probably
over look in looking for more
tangible values.
Early marriages promote in
dustry and sober and moral liv-
ing. They permit people to be-
come grand fathers and grand
mothers before age has taken
the zest out of life. = Exchange.

NATIONAL AID
FOR GOOD ROADS

National aid and national high
ways will engage the attention
of the delegates to the American
Road Congress during one session
of the six which will be held at
Detroit during the week of Sep
tember %. 1t is expected that
Ex-senator Jonathan Bourne, Jr.
chairman of the joint committee
on federal aid in the construction
of post roads, will place before
the congress his plan of lending
the credit of the government to
the states through the ultimate
issuance of a billion dollars of
good road bonds. Senator Swan
son of Virginia, also a member
of the joint committee, will ex-
plain his plan for an annual cash
appropriation conditioned upon
an equal appropriation by the
states and an equal division of
responsibility for construction
and maintenance.
The Shackelford plan given
great prominence by d. W..
Shackelford, chairman of the
committee of the house of rep
resenatives, will also be explain
ed. Mr.. Shackelford's plan pro-
vides for a system of rewards on
all rural delivery roads meeting
with certain requirements. Diff
fering from all of these schemes
is that which provides for a sys-
tenn of national highways built
and maintained entirely at the
cost of the government. A
champion of this plan will also
be heard.
After the presentation of the
various schemes now advocated
for adoption by the government,
there will be an endeavor to har-
monte differences and bring
about the announcement of a
definite policy for submission tC
congress. AS majority in both
the senate and the house of rep
tesenatives favor some form OF
government aid it is important
that this great national gather
ing of good roads workers shoulC
