Acting

Before an audience that crowded the

school dramatic club last night pre-"

ing creditable work.
The theater was decorated in red
and black, the school colors. The many
banners and ponants won by the high
school covered the sides of the boxes
and on the curtain was the beautiful
banner presented to the school by the
class Of 1909.
Much credit for the good showing of
the cast is due TO the coaching of Miss
Nellie Brown. instructor of elocution at
the high school.
The leading man was Lawrence
Hyde and Miss Stella Devine the lead
ing lady. Hyde took the part of John
Worden, the freshman whom the soph-
omores attempt to "haze." He showed
much ability in his part. Miss Devine
took the part of Miss Mary Locke, the
daughter of Professor Locke, and was
excellent in her work.

SALE OF NEWHOUSE
PROPERTY DISCUSSED
Lafayette Hanchett Is Back
From East; Governor
Francis Coming.

With the return Of Lafayette Han
chett from a business trip to the east,
it is currently reported that negotia"
tions for the sale of the Newhouso in,
tercsts TO an eastern syndicate are nm
der way. 1T is understood that plans
have been made for taking over all of
the mine and real estate interests or
Samuel Newhouso by a syndicate of
capitalists.
AS result of the negotiations Of
Mr.. Hanchett 1T is declared David r..
Francis, former governor of Missouri,
and others prominently Identified with
the syndicate which proposes to take
over the Newhouse interests will come
to Salt Lake within few days to con
fer with local representatives. of the
Newhousc interests. Governor Francis
is now in San Francisco.
Mr.. Hanchett Yesterday declined TO
discuss the projected sale OF the New
house interests and would neither con
firm nor deny the report that trans"
fer of these interests would be made
in the immediate future. Whatever
there might be in prospect with refer
ence TO the negotiations, he said, was
not in shape to be made public at this
time.
In New York and Chicago Mr., Han
chett found evidences of a marked inn
provcment in business conditions. He
said:
There appears to be everywhere a
spirit of optimism that was not in
evidence few months ago, The
outlook for decidedly prosperous
year is very bright The reason
for this optimistic point of view is
to be found in the banking and
currency act. This measure seems
to have restored. business condi-
lions to their normal prosperity.
At present there is very little
in the way Of development being
done. However, arrangements for
this work are being made and
great deal of work will be accom-
plishcd during the year. 1t is GER
tain that business will be much
more active during 1914 than dur
ing 1913.

Reducing Disease.

4 close watch was kept on the milk

ficted with typhoid last year and the
health department is convinced that
none of the cases originated with milk
supply.
Again DR.. Paul calls attention to the
danger Of considering measles and
whooping cough as trivial diseases. The
department is doing its utmost TO edu-
cate the people that these two diseases
must be gwen as much attention as the
moro virulent forms of contagion.
There was R marked decrease in tho
number of eases of diphtheria, the re-
port shows, though a slight increase in
the number of deaths was recorded
Scarlet fever killed nobody in 1913

Smallpox still prevails, due to prcju-
dice against vaccination. The disease
has been of so mild a form that it has

cause in many instances the patients

APPRECIATES SUPPORT

Dr.. Samuel G.. Paul, city health com
missioner. yesterday completed and
filed his annual report with the city
commission.
Dr. Paul lays great stress on the work
done by the district nurses among the
school children, attrlbnting to them the
major portion of the excellent results
obtained in checking the spread of con
tagon and in correcting defective con
ditions among the children The nurses
are the wedge by which the department
is instilling education into the homes
where ignorance of hygiene and santa
ZION has prevailed heretofore.
The work OF the municipal milk sta
tion. and the vast field il opened up for
prevention of infant mortality and the
spreading Of education as TO the correct
methods of raising children, come in for
special mention in the report DIR. Paul
advocates establishment of several milk
stations this year and increasing the
number Of district nurses to handle
them. Scores OF lives were saved by
this work last year and hundreds can be
saved IN the future, lie says.
Special Sanitarium.
LII. Ganl advocates tHC CStnBllSNInCHC
Of hospital or sanitarium for the
treatment of advanced cases of tuber
culosis, dispensaries for the distribution
OF advice and making diagnoses, and
the employment of Il staff Of nurses for
work among the homes in finding new
and suspicious eases and sending them
to doctor or dispcnsary for diagnoses
A system of supervision and rcgula~
tion of tuberculosis eases is now being
worked out by the city board of health,
according to DR.. Paul. During the
present year it is intended to place
number of nurses in the field to edu
cate the people to the need of protective
measures. He calls upon all citizens to
cooperate with the health department
in working TO this end. Already the
board of health has one nurse assigned
to tuberculosis work.
Due to a lack OF sewers in certain
parts of the city, particularly in the
ncwly-annexed sections, typhoid fever
cases existed in greater number in 1913
than the previous. according to the
report While the percentage of deaths
from this disease was not high III com
parison with other cities, the health de-
partment was not satisfied with the ty-
phoid record, DR.. Paul says, and plans
an active campaign to reduce the num-

EXEMPT LIVESTOCK
FROM TAXATION.

BY far the most radical change
in taxation yet proposed and which
is prepared to lessen the burden on
the farmer principally, is embodied
in law to be inflated by Edmund
Berrigan of Norman, which was fill
ed with Secretary of State Ben Har-
rison Friday.
The proposed law would amend
senction 6, article 10 of the consti-
tuition by striking out the words,
tools, implements, livestock, en-
ployed in the support of the family
not exceeding $1O0 in value" and in
serting instead subsections that
would exempt from taxation live
stock, farm implements, all domestic
animals, all farm tools. implements
and machinery, when used on the
farm and not held in stock for sale;
all farm improvements. such as
barns, fences, wells and orchards,
not exceeding $4,000 in value; build
fngs used exclusively for residence
nor exceeding $1,000 in value; all
tools, machinery and implements us
ed in work shops and manufactur-
ing plants not exceeding $4,000 in
value and all household goods val
ued at $500 or under.
The most striking feature in the
Berrigan proposed law is that which
exempts all domestic animals froi'
taxation. It's adoption would mear
that cattlemen grazing thousands o.
head of cattle in Oklahoma, some o
which are brought in from othei
States, would pay no taxes.

NEWSPAPER VS.. CANDIDATE.

There has ever been a tendency
on the part of candidates for public
office to get all the publicity pos
sible at the least possible cost, for
which they are not to be censured.
but the newspapers must foot the
bill.
A candidate will pay for an an
nouncement and then feel hurt il
the editor does not give him IS
notice. For that one announcement
fee he expects notice of all his.
doings. and when he needs few
cards he goes to some job printer to
get them a few cents cheaper.
He goes to newspaper with cir
culation of $500 and thinks it iS
robbing him when it charges him
more for the announcement than the
paper with 500 subscribers.
1t is all right for the candidate to
keep his expenses within the limits
prescribed by law, but he makes
mistake when he expects the news
paper to devote its time. material
and space to assist him in his ambi--
tions, when he spends his money
with job printers in sending out cir
culars by thousands.
Let the newspapers apply business.
principles to their political friends

cal campaigns. "The laborer is

MAIL BOXES ON RURAL RUoTEs


Postmaster Early states that peo-
pie who live on the proposed rural
routes are not showing the desired
interest in signing up the agreement
to secure mail boxes. The people
on Route No. /, which runs south
of the city. have just about finish
ed up this work, but those on No
2 are behind.
1t is the intention of the govern
ment to start the carriers on these
routes not later than June first, but
before they will proceed and have
the examination for carriers, the
patrons must agree to erect mail
box in a convenient place. But
lately the farmers have been so busy
it is thought they have overlooked
the matter. and they will get busy
at once. Postmaster Early will as
