JON Df changing the city ordinances

settle the matter at least till there
is n change in the City Council
Three weeks ago n. NJ. Ambrose
asked for license to operate a pub

the license was carried by vote of
three to two. 1t was found, how
ever. that there was city ordinance
expressly prohibiting the granting of
license, which ordinance must be
repealed before the action of the City
Council could be OF effect. An or
dinance was drawn up repeating the
ordnance against pool halls, but
when Il motion that the ordinance be
not repealed was carried. the new
ordinance was not presented
There was good attendance of
leading church officials and officers Of
the Civic-Betterment League present
to oppose changing the ordinances,
but as the Council clearly indicated
their intended action the visitors did
not make any talks. Mr.. Ambrose,
who was present, contended that the
Council having voted to grant him a
license, II must pass an ordinance In
conformity Herewith, which, however
the Council refused to do

ably meet with the wishes of large
majority of the citizens

Orem Road To
Build New Station

Messrs w. r. Armstrong, vice pre-
sident of the Salt Lake and Utah rail
road. and w r. Williams, the com
panys general road master and sup
erintendent OF buildings, were here
Wednesday and stated that the In
terurban road would erect new and
modern station this fall in American
Fork. The gentlemen stated that the
building would be larger than the
ones at Lehl and Pleasant Grove, and
besides containing living rooms for
the agent and his family, would also
include all the latest features now
being Incorporated In Interurban de
pots in other parts of the country. The
building will not be of concrete and
will be more artistic than those here
,ofore built by this company.
The road has grown into popularity
so rapidly since It has been operated
that the business will justify build
ing In American Fork that will be-
superior to any heretofore built, and
one which will be credit to the
town.
The new depot will be located on
the south side of Main Street on the
site formerly occupied by the Firmage
residence, which has been torn down
and removed The plans for the new
depot will be completed I'm about ten
days, and soon thereafter work on Its
construction will commence.

A Word of Caution

II has been the observation of the
writer TO notice that the majority of
the adult people in our locality are

amount owing our merchants by the
people is simply alarming. The ere
dit business is carried to the extreme,
and is 4 great draw back to the GUS
toners as well as the merchants Be
cause people are able TO get what
they want on credit, they naturally
buy more than they need, and some
times more than they are able to pay

we had tho worst banking and cur.
rency system In the world, because the
volume Of our currency was wholly In.
elastic; that 1t, because there was more
than enough at certain seasons to NEE.
the demands of commerce and credit
and at other times far too little; thai
we could not lessen the volume when
we needed less nor increase 1t when
we needed more. Everybody talk ed
about the absurd system and It's quite
unnecessary embarrassments, sure tc
produce periodic panics: and everybody
said that 1t ought to be changed very
radically: but nobody took effective
steps to change 1t until the present
Congress addressed itself TO the task
ligence which expressed itself In def
mite action. And now the thing Is
done.
Let bankers explain the technical
features of the new system. Suffice it
here to say that 1t provides a currency
which expands as 1t Is needed. and
contracts when 1t is not needed; a cur
rency which comes into existence In
response to the call of every man who
can show a going business and a con-
crete basis for extending credit to him.
however obscure o. prominent he mae
be, however big or little his business
transactions.
Direction of Credits.
More than that, the power to direct
this system of credits is put into the
hands OF public board of disinter-
ested officers of the government itself
who can make no money cut of any
thing they do in connection with it.
No group of bankers anywhere can
get control; no one part OF the country
can concentrate the advantages and
conveniences OF the system upon itself
for it's own selfish advantage. The
board can oblige the banks of one re-
gion to go to the assistance of the
banks of another. The whole resources
of the country are modified. to be en-
ployed where they are most needed. I
think we are justified in speaking Of
this,as democracy of credit Credit
is at the disposal of every, man who
can show energy and assets. Each re-
gion OF the country is set to study it's
own needs and opportunities and the
whole country stands by to assist 1t
