SIX DEBATERS FOR
TRYOUT CHOSEN
Three Will be Chosen From Candidates
to Represent U. of U,
Contest.

Six men were chosen yesterday morn
ing to be candidates for the threeman
team which will represent the uniyer-
sity of Utah in debate against the Uni
versity of Montana Those who were
successful in passing the preliminary
tryouts were Clyde Sharp, Edwin
Spencer, Irwin Cawson, Wallace Ward,
Karl Frischknecht and Alma Smith.
The question discussed in the tryouts
and which will form the basis of the
argument with the University of Mon
tana, is; Resolved, That immigration
Of the Hellenic Italian and Slavonic
people Of southeastern and eastern
Europe should be prohibited -
This resembles the question argued
last year by the colleges Of the noun
tain states which read to the effect
that the oriental policy of immigration
should be extended to the Hellenic,
Italian and Slavonic peoples.
There will be two debates between
now and the latter part Of January,
which is the time scheduled for the de-
bate with Montana. One will be be-
tween the university and the B, Y. U.
and the other between the university
and the A. C. at Logan. The same
question will be discussed with both of
these colleges, but Utah will take one
side of the question in one debate and
the opposite IN the other. This will
enable Coach C. w. Snow to decide
which of the mon above named will be
chosen to send against Montana.

For more than a year agitation in ia
vor OF reduction in all the special IL

Several weeks ago Clark l.. Whitney,
license assessor, submitted recommenda-
tons for general reductions in many Of
the taxes, including the merchants tax
Acting on this the commission made a
80 per cent reduction in the vehicle tax
but declined TO lower tho merchant tax

ton were G. f.. Adams OF the Gardner &

FINDS BIC FIELD
FOR UTAH PRODUCTS
Coal Mining Towns of State
Offer Opportunity, Says
G. S. McAllister.

One of the most fruitful fields for
Utah products and one which is as yet
mainly unconvcrted to their use, is the
vicinity of Carbon and Emery counties,
according to George 5. McAllister,
citation of Utah Mr.. McAllister re-
turned Yesterday from a three weeks
trip through the two counties. He took
time while away 10 do a large amount
of Utah products missionary work aud
says he succeeded In convincing many
merchants that it was to thor advan-
tage to handle Utah products.
Most Of the towns are built around
mining camps and Mr.. McA lister esti-
mates that at least 10000 cans of
canned goods are used each week in the
various camps. Most of these small
town stores are owned by the mining
companies and only one store-a store
at Storrs-sells Utah products as far
as possible. Many proprietors eX-
pressed themselves as not caring partc-
ularly for home products, but when the
Salt Laker explained that they cost no
load lots and are fresher than those in
the east, most of them became inter
ested.
Among the towns visited were Castle
dale, Castle Gate, Scofeld, Cotton,
Clear Creek, Winter Quarters, Price,
Hiawatha, Black Hawk. Ferron,
Orangeville, Cleveland, Almos, yelling
ton, Helper, Panther, Storrs, Standard,
Kenilworth and Green River. On Utah
products day, Mr. McAllster addressed
the students of Castledale academy at
Castledale in Emery county and put in
several good boosts for Utah products.

IRRIGATION BONDS
SUBJECT TO TAX
Citizens Owning Such Collateral Must
Calculate Interest in Estimating In
come for Revenue Department..

Interest or income from bonds or
other obligations of irrigation or rec
lamation districts are not exempt from
taxation under the income tax as these
districts are not political subdivisions
of the state.
This opinion handed down by the
secretary Of the treasury was received
yesterday by William G, Whaley.
United States collector of internal rev
enue for this district Mr.. Whaley is
of the opinion that this ruling will
mean many thousand dollars to the
government especially in the inter-
mountain region where irrigation dis
tricts arc so numerous.
Under the income tax law the
bonds of cities. states and counties are
exempt The new decision holds that
irrigation districts are not public utili-
ties nor do they exercise any special
function of government accruing to any
state or territory.
Blanks for holding out companies
which held out the income tax on
bonds at their source for the month of
November, were received yesterday by
the internal revenue office. Most Of
the holding out companies are banks,
The revenue will be collected before
