GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT

In Utah the people are waking up to the Importance OF gooa
roads and in Salt Lake county there is a proposition or too to oond
the county for 100000 for road purposes.
Secretary OF State David Mattson in a recent article n the Des-
ert Farmer says:
There is n O other n enterprise 50 likely to bring such certain
and substantial returns as permanent road constructions. 1t becomes
urgent pom us to expend every dollar available for this purpose. |
heartily favor bonding the state to secure additional funds or road
building, and am firmly of the opinion that the several counties OF
the state should bond themselves for a like purpose. am fully
mindful Of the universal fear which prompts objection to increase tax
burdens and bond issues OF every kind. and still w e seem ever ready
to bond for school purposes and public buildings. Then why not
migration and industry and enhance IL property valuation, thus en-
ablng us to pay for our school and public buildings from the ncreas-
ed lax returns which are sure o come. At any cost, we must first
build u roads in systematic and substantial fashion and then we
will have established a condition which will of itself increase the tax
able wealth Of the community. This in turn will. through the ordi-
nary channel of a reasonable tax rate amply provide for every public
need of the future"

TO INVESTIGATE LABOR DISTURBANCES

1t is announced from Washington that a nationwide invesi9a-
ton of labor disturbances is to be undertaken Immediately by the fed
eral commission on industrial relations. This decision was reached al
tel a five days executive session.
The first step in the proposed inquiry will be the dispatch of in
vestigators to Calumet, Mich, where there is a strike n the copper
mines, and to Colorado, where there is a strike of coal miners.
The past disturbances at Paterson, n. J.: Lawrence, Mass, and
Los Angeles, Cal, are also to be investigated.
The special agents will report the results of their investigation to
the commission February 2 and the commission probably later will
conduct hearings.
Because of the apparent misunderstanding as to its powers and
duties, the commission adopted a resolution stating that it "has no
power to act as a board of Cancellation or mediation in labor disputes
or % interfere in any manner with the attempted settlement of such
controversies"
The resolution adds however, that the commission in carrying
out its duties to discover the underlying causes of industrial unrest
will investigate existing as we'll as past disturbances.

SENTIMENT PRACTICALLY UNANIMOUS

The sentiment in favor of a proper and adequate showing of her
natural advantages by the state of Nevada at the l9l5 eSpositions IS
practically unanimous. The campaign waged against the expo
sion bill for the past en- months by those who have opposed it has
not convinced any considerable proportion of the people that the leg
isaure misrepresented public sentiment in passing the measure a it
is, " that Governor Oddie did wrong in approving 1t. The attacks
made have not been upon the bill itself or upon its provisions but
have been actuaed by a petty personal and political spite. This has
been self evident both from the substance matter of the opposing ar
tdes and from the sources from which they have emenated. 1t would
seer better policy for the more or less able bunch OF politicians who
are crnicisng and reving those whose duty it is to carry Ii and
enforce the provisions OF the law to forget their politics about fifteen
minutes every three months and give their assistance to those who
are laborng for the better prosperity Of the state-Las VEGAS Age.

GOOD TASTE IN LITERATURE.

What is it that governs the choice
of our friends and associates? 1t is
not simply chance that finds us in
sympathy with certain people and
quite Indifferent to the particular in
terest of others. The bond of attrac-
tion between people often lies in a
predominant mutual or kindred inter-
est the expression of which produces
a benefit mutually Strengthening to
the kindred interests. If the vital
parts of our character are thoughts Of
an uplifting tendency, we shall in
stinctively seek out and retain the
influence of those personalities that
are governed by like uplifting tend
ency and therefore our choice of liv-
ing friends, because of our being gov
erned by noble principles, cannot fail
to be marked by good taste.
Exactly the same law holds good
with regard to our choice of books
and writings. All phases of mind
and of character are represented, and
ably represented, in the literature of
today, and whatever we are will prove
itself in the actual reading matter We
select. The concentration of our pur.
pose to purify our nature may be
guaged in its intensity by what we
seek to influence it. When we con.
slider that our personal character is
something that every instant may be

VARIOUS WAYS OF SERVING
LAMB.

The most delicious as we'll as the
most seasonable meat in market is
lamb. And this is the month when it
is in its perfection, because it has at
tanned size that makes it edible and
not wasteful. The usual way of cook
ing lamb is to roast it, but it is often
spoiled in the cooking. 1t must be
used when fresh, thoroughly cooked,
but not dried. 1t is divided into the
fore and hind quarters, the whole of
either not being too much to serve at
one time. The fore quarter is far more
expensive than the hind for the aver
age family, as it is much smaller.
Lamb should be roasted in a hot oven
with a little water in the pan, allow
ing from fifteen to eighteen minutes to
the pound; it should be basted fire.

undergoing some modification, that it
is possible for every moment of per-
sonal contact with others to make
is easy to understand how important
thing it is to choose for these mod
flying influences those thought cur
rents in literature that will have the
broad effect of general culture and
the specific result of personal fitness
to ourselves. There is beautiful
story Of a painter who would never
glance at an inferior picture. so highly
did he prize his gift as not to wish
risking the sullying of it by even
apprehending what was imperfect. Our
soul, or perhaps our nature, will rise
to greater heights and will give ut
terance to finer forms OF expression
in our work according to how we
nourish it with beautiful thoughts. Our
character is fed by those ideas in
writer which linger with us, which
we mediate on unconsciously, and
consequently, make our own in act.
Therefore, the better we act, the more
perfect has been our remOte and in
direct preparation for it by reading
or by personal intercourse with 9TH
ers. And, as we are now considering
reading especially, the better has been
our taste in selecting our reading.
When, after reading, we feel an in
vigorating sense of intending to be a
little broader in our view, little less
self centered, a little more consider
ate and magnanimous, when after
reading, we have an inward satisfac-
tion at our previous Endorsement of
what was right and true, we may rest
assured that such reading is in good
taste, that just as in the choice of
living influences, our selection is
result of high principle. Thus, there
are many able writer's whose work,
unfortunately, however we'll executed,
is grounded upon false principals,
which principals, if accepted, would
have a degenerating effect upon us.
1t is often sad necessity to Danish
real ability because of its false teach
ing, for there is certain zest in study
ing well executed work for the sake
of its fine workmanship.
On the other hand, there are great
many people whose hearts are true
ana who would write grand convincing
things if only their ability equaled
their good intentions. But art, in
writing, as in everything else, calls
for high ability and will admit of moth
ing second rate.
Therefore we may conclude that the
truest and best taste in literature is
that which makes us like conjunc-
ton of strength and ability, a fine
artistic expression of sound, uplifting
principals, and there is no doubt that
if this same strength and nobility is
an integral part of our own personal
character that what we like in read
ing is in the best of taste.
