LIQUOR LICENSE FOR
DRUG STORE DENIED
Commission Heeds Protest of State
University Board Of
Regents.

Application for retail druggist liquor
license by w. B. Keeling was rejected
by the city commission last night because
Of the proximity OF the drug store to the
University OF Utah.
KEELING had filed a bond, but when it
came before the commission for approval
Commissioner Henry w, Lawrence called
attention to the fact that the board Of
regents Of the university had entered
protest against the granting OF the Ii
cense. and reminded the commission that
a similar application for license In the
same neighborhood had been denied for
the same reason. Accordingly, the COM
mission ordered that the bond be re-
turned to Keeling with the informatio
a petition from the board of education,
asking that the city curb and gutter r
street in front Of the Wasatch school,
was received and referred to the street
department. The city purposely left the
school premises out Of the curb and gut
ter district becau use of the fact that the
school board cannot be assessed for such
improvements under the state law, IN
Its petition the board Of education takes
the stand that since the state law de-
clares the school district immune from
such special taxes it is apparent that the
intent of the legislature was TO have the
city stand the expense.
For many years the practice of eX-
cluding city school property from i'm,
provement districts. rather than stand
the expense out OF the general fund. has
been In force by city administrations.

ment was one Of $4,000 in the assess
ment on the personal property of the

Reason for Denial.

The commission denied the applica-
tion on the ground that the building
is owned by n company apart from the
bank, though the bank owns the con-
trolling interest in the holding COM
pany. It was held by the county at
torney that the building and grounds
did not represent any part Of the bank 8
capitalization.
The application of the Salt Lake
Security & Trust company was for an
abatement Of $4,000 in the amount
Of cash for which the county assessor
had assessed. Representatives Of the
company argued $12,500 represented a
maximum amount Of cash on hand not
tied up in real estate or other property
Of the company The commissioners
held otherwise and the full assess
ment of $4,000 on the personal prop
erty Of the company was enforced.
Application of the Dooly estate for
some abatement on the $S8,975 assess
ment placed upon the Dooly block
was denied. The estate asked for an
abatement because the assessment was
larger than the one fixed year ago,
but the commission held that the pres,
ent assessment was more nearly right
than the one fixed year ago Appli-
cation Of the Smith Bailey company for
an abatement on its SOP 900 assessment
also was denied

COMING BACK TO IOWA.

Cedar Rapids Republican: There
are lot of people in the Panhanule
Who want to go back TO Iowa. writes
one man in a letter to a local Iowa
paper. Well, We will be glad to well
come them back, Some of them may
have to begin over again, especially
II they have traded their Iowa lands
for Texas lands, but it is never too
late to begin in Iowa. A few weeks
ago one man who tried dry" farming
somewhere in the far west reached
Iowa on his way back home. He said
that he had had enough of it and
while he hardly knew where to begin
over again, he hoped some day to
have another bit of sIowa land, even
II it were only forty acre piece. He
said he could at least make a living
for himself and family on even forty
acres of Iowa soil, which was more
than he had succeeded in doing on
a much larger tract out west. At one
time this man owned, we believe, $50
acres of Iowa land. But his Iowa
land went up in price and tempting
offers we're made to him and at the
same time came tempting offers OF
big tracts of cheaper lands elsewhere.
At last he made the exchange and he
has been sorry ever since.
We are glad to welcome back all
Iowans. If those VINO have gone aday
and not Jared well want to come
back, we will make no references TO
their mistakes. II is enough to have
the tribute of a return paid to the
state.

led have been warded off by anticipa-
|tion. Call money Is very abundant,
owing to the ample. supply of cash,
and easy rates in t4.4s respect are
anticipated until the crops begin to
move. The only unsatisfactory feat
|ure in the monetary situation is the
insistent demand for new capital,
which too frequently is obtained by
Excessive issues of short term notes.
1T is to be noted, however, that these
demands are being postponed or alto
|gether refused. During June the new
security issues amounted to $1SO,00O,-
900, compared with 1929 100000 year
Iago, decline of $11S,000,000. The
amount of railroad bonds issued in
June was about $7,000000, compared
with $26,000;000 year ago, while OF
railroad notes the issue was 5000
900, as against $74,000,000 in 1912,
Industrials issued only 100000 OF
bonds, against lS39, 100000 a year ago,
but S31, 900, 900 of notes, as contrast
ed with $4,000, 900 the previous year.
Out of the total issue of securities
for the month $3.50. 1000 represent
ed short term ontes. 1t is impossible
to determine what proportion OF
these were for refunding purposes.
r"Outside of the financial district
conditions are really more encour-
aging. The crop outlook is still very
satisfactory, beneficial rains having
fallen freely where most needed dur
ing the past week. lie winter wheat
crop is already harvested, showing a

The LINCOLN HIGHWAY.

/ Lincoln highway projects of the

1.-THE Lincoln transcontinental enter

venture lies in the fact that $4,000

sor. With this sum as nest egg, the
Ifulfillment of it's mission, namely, the
linking~of through road between
New York and San Francisco by 1915
| is thought to be practically assured.
The original plan of the manufac-
turers who launched the enterprise
has not been changed one iota, save
for the dedication o. the venture to
Abraham Lincoln. This feature was
added as a happy afterthought The
I basic idea is still to furnish the
American people an object lesson in
good roads so that they will become
a necessity and not luxury. 1t is
thought that the building of one uni
forrnly excellent, indestructible truck
line, through the, parallel and link
highways it will inspire, will do more
to hasten the era of good roads than
any other. agent.
| Subscribers to the venture are
found in every walk of, life. On the
list which produced the original $4,-
100000 are numbered, manufacturers,
civic associations, motor clubs, mer-
chants and private individuals. Aside
from selfish or pecuniary interest
each one of these contributors is &C
tuated by the consciousness that he
lis doing something for the public
good To cut the cost of living by
lowering the barrier of poor highways
between producer and consumer is
one of the chief motives.
The ultimate sum to be raised is
SIC, 100000. With the tour booming
things in the west, and several large
subscriptions ripening in the east,
but few months more are expected
to elapse until this amount has been
realized and building operations be-
gun.
The Great White Way may become
a part of the Lincoln Highway
through Iowa. Let's try to make it
so, anyway.

Episcopal church was held at Burling-
ton Bishop Morrison urged that mar
ried ministers in new parishes should
receive $1,000 year and unmarried
one $1,000.
This minimum wage" is certainly
not excessive, for, according to figures
just issued by the government, the
purchasing power of $1,000 is no
greater than that of 1898 only fifteen
years ago. Just how the country par
son contrives to keep up the position
he does, purchase books and maya
zines, rear a family according to his
standard of education, and still lay up
anything for rainy day is mystery
to the onlooker. Probably it remains
an unsolved mystery even to him.
Society has been too much Inclined
to allow its clergymen to enjofs1hB
luxury of serving for spirifuah dres
wards, holding that they got the re-
turn for their work. Now that the
Episcopal church in Jersey has fairly
faced the matter, may we not look for
similar results elsewhere
