SCHOOL OF MINES
WORK BROADENED
Now Contract Signed with Govern
ment Officials Of Great Import
ance to Mining Men Of the West.

The announcement of Dean Joseph
+. Merrill OF the school of mines ira
the University Of Utah that a new
contract has been signed with officials
of the United States bureau of mines.
is of more importance than appears
on the surface. IL means that the
metallurgical work in the university
can be carried on more extensively
than ever before.
And what is this "metallurgical
work? Just this. Utah contains vast
quantities OF low grade zinc and lead
ores which have not been developed
because no commercial processes
have been found for extracting the
minerals. The whole purpose OF the
bureau OF mines here at the present
time is the discovering of such pro
cesses.
Research work of an intensive char
acter is being carried on in the uni
versity laboratories with this objec
tive aim. Four big companies are
maintaining men there. Besides these
there are number of graduate stu
lurgy. Any student graduated from
the mining or chemical courses car
enter this department for his masters
degree, and there are various fellow
ships to aid such students.
Nothing which is discovered or dc
veloped in these laboratories can be
patented by individuals. 1t belongs &c
the public, having been done at pub,
lie expense.
The University of Utah is now one
of the Best places in the United States
for such research work. Salt Lake
City is the greatest smelling center
in the country, so the nearness OF
mines and smelters offers fine oppor
tunity for actual contact. The bureau
of mines here receives an annual ap
preparation from the national govern
ment of about $4,000 while the uni
versity department with which ii viii
work in the closest cooperation re
celves from the state about $500 per
year. Such mining work as this is log
ically the special field OF the Utah
engineering school.

TESTIMONY FROM ILLINOIS.

According to the records of the po
lice officials in Illinois dry cities have
rs per cent less crime to contend with
than wet cities OF the same size. Au
rora, while under the saloon admins
tration, had 1,005 arrests for drunken
ness, while in dry Rockford, with the
same population, there were only 719
arrests. Wet Joliet had 1852 arrests
for drunkenness while dry Decatur had
$685. Both towns are OF the same size.
Still another instance was the 1919 ar
rests in East st. Louis as against 454
in dry Galesburg. The reports show
that the majority of these arrests was
due to the introduction of liquor from
the surrounding wet territory.

TO MEET DEMANDS
 OF DAIRYMEN'S LEAGUE
Representatives of Distributing Com panies to Pay Increased Price.

New York. Oct. 6.-Representatives of milk distributing companies hand ling virtually the entire supply of the city except that dispensed by the Bor- den, Sheffield Farms and Mutual Me- Dermott companies, agreed at a con- mands of the dairymen's league for an increased price and six months con- tracts, under certain conditions.
 The proposed agreement would be predicated on the stipulation that the price be paid without question for the months of October, November and De- cember, but that for January, Feb ruary and March the surplus milk they must take from the farmers be paid for on the basis of cheese and butter prices or as much as they can get for it after turning it into butter and cheese. It was explained that the deal CTS in making contracts with farmers agreed to take all the milk produced and felt the producers should share their loss on the part that could not be sold.
 To adjust future relations between the dealers and the distributors the conference submitted to the league a proposition providing for a committee of eleven to be appointed as follows:
 One each by the governor, the may or, the commissioner of agriculture, the wholesale dealers. the retail deal CTS, the state grange, the New York milk committee, the Wicks investigat- ing committee, the health commission CT of New York city and two by the dairymen's league. The dealers stated that they desired the appointments decide from a scientific as we'll as a business standpoint the proper price to pay for milk The findings of the con- mittee would be final.

TO GET FUNDs FROM
 FEDERAL OFFICEHOLDERS
Alleged Plans of the National Demo-
 cratic Executive Committee

New York, Oct. 6.-Carefully pre- pared plans of the National Democratic executive committee to extort cam paign fund of several millions from federal officerholders in violation of the spirit of the criminal code and of the civil service act were disclosed at Republican National headquarters to- day The plans purposed the raising of this E-ce fund for the re-election of President Wilson.
 The framers of the plan are per- fectly aware of the fact that they are skating on very thin ice and have strtven to direct the procedure of their subordinates so as to enable them to effect substantial violation of the law without being caught. The men who are endeavoring to put the plans in operation holdly confess to the subord- mates upon whom they rely for the actual strong arm work. That they are deliberately seeking to evade the statutory provisions to which, in pub lie and for the purposes of campaing argument only, they make such pro- fuse profession of devotion.
 The first drive of the cash collect ors for the Democratic committee is aimed at postmasters, but it is specif- ically set for that all other federal ap- pointees as well are expected to con- tribute to the Wilson campaign fund. The amount of the levy upon them is ten per cent. of one years salary.

EIGHT HOUR LAW
 IS ATTACKED BY TAFT
Addressed Thousands of Persons at
 the Coliseum, Indianapolis.

Indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 6.-The eight hour law recently enacted by congress was attacked by William H. Taft to- night when he addressed thousands of persons at the Coliseum, discussing the development of consts ;utiena1 gov ernment of the state. MT. Taft's speech was a part of the County Day programme in connection with h. dianas centennial celebration and while non-politica1 in character, gave him opportunity to find flaws in the governments course of action with fical1y.
 In tracing the development from the old Northwest Territorial days, he showed that through constitutional limitations placed on the conduct of men, society as a whole had been pro- tected against those who would seek to turn all things to their service or benefit. He said that these limitations did not restrict the liberty of men, but that they did prevent the exercise of license as distinguished from lib erty.
 NGr Taft declared that the law for bids the formation of combinations for oppression. But he said. there has developed in this country a tendency in high quarters to- disregard consti- tutional limitations and to overlook certain classes of acts provided a pO- liticaI advantage could be gained. He regarded the eight hour law as such and said:
 This is the most noteworthy in stance of a group whose labor was necessary that society may live, re- fusing to perform it's function in the social machinery"
