tradition from Governor Spray OF
Utah to Governor Alexander, Law

in this city for the past couple OF

AMENDMENT MADE TO
ANTI-BANNER LAW
Council Permits Advertising on Ne-
hicles With Restrictions Reason
for Ordinance.

A special meeting OF the city coun-
ell which met Friday night With r.
E. Bobier. president of the council,
in the chair, passed the amendment to
the anti-banner ordinance which was
on behalf of the Lavering
theatre and the Oliver meetings at
the gathering of the council on the
previous Monday when there was no
provides that the mayor may grant
the right to advertise by displaying
banners on vehicles of all sorts on the
filing of written request for a per-
NIT in which the manner and matter
of proposed advertising and the days
on which it is to be done are specif-
ically stated and the sum of So a day
for the time specified is paid in with
the application. An exception is made
in favor of public organizations which
may obtain a permit without the pay
ment of the fee The mayor has the
right to refuse any application.
The cause for the passage of the
original ordinance was explained at
the time when it was first brought
to the attention of the council. Mayor
e. Nj. Sweeley stated that its purpose
Was originally 10 cut. out a SOit pl
advertising of slaughter sales which
was prevalent some years ago. Al
that time it became custom foI
stores to advertise with wagons and
drums, and to eliminate this feature
which had become irksome to some
of the merchants who participated in
it, the system was abolished by ordi-
nance. President c. E. Booth of the
Merchants Protective association
who was present for the purpose OF
attending another sort of meeting
when this explanation was made
stated that another reason figured il
the matter. At that time labor or
ganizations were forming here and i
was feared that condition might
arise, as it does occasionally in cit
les, where a union would send mar
with a banner bearing some such in
scription as this store is unfair" t
parade in front of the place of bust
ness against which the union felt i
had a grievance.

ASSOCIATED CHARITIES ASK
MORE FUNDS FROM CITIZENS

The following plea for further lib
crafty toward the Associated Chari-
ties presented to the Times today,
contains a rather startling statement
of conditions existing in the city,
showing that with the limited wages
obtained by many workers, they can
not do more than feed themselves and
families without allowing anything for
clothing. The statement follows:
The Associated Charities is facing
an empty treasury with two months
more of winter to come. Work is op-
ening, and demands becoming fewer
but out of very limited wages, when
rent, coal and food bills are met there
seems little to cloth and furnish shoes
for a half dozen children. Tuesday
three were fitted with shoes and rub
bers, who were out of school because
they were nearly barefooted Yester-
day the association paid five dollars
rent for an old man likely to lose his
room. Tomorrow another old man
must have coal.

on the falls grade last week our work

them for the first three days, antici-

CONTROL OF WAFER
POWER CONCENTRATED
Comparatively Small Group of Inter
locking Concerns cNn More Than
Half of These Utilities.

Control of the country's water pow
er used in the public service opera
tions has passed into the hands OF
comparatively small group. of corpor-
ations with an "almost endless maze
of intercOnnection," acc Ording to a
special report sent to congress by the
department of agriculture
Eighteen corporations are shown to
be in control of more than half of the
water power employed in public util-
tiles
Secretary Houston called particular
attention to the marked tendency
toward association of community OF
interests, particularly among the prin-
cipal holding companies" declaring
this feature could not be viewed with
out concern.
"The movement toward concentra-
ton" the report says, lis found in
all sections of the United States For
the ten years, 1902 to 1912, the rate
of concentration was highest in the
south Atlantic states, which had
three times rs great a proportion Of
commercial stations in 1912 as in
1902 Since then the extent of the
concentrations was greatest in the
western states Fifty per cent of all
primary power of all kinds in the
mountain states in 1912 was owned
by pub ic service corporations; 54 per
cent in the Pacific states. Today pub
lie service corporations own 80 per
cent of all the primary power in these
two groups of states"
