To be healthy at seventy, prepare at

that neglected colds, or careless treat

SPRINGFIELD. Mass. Nov. "a. -
State or municipal regulation Of wages,

ed In report presented today to the
National Municipal League convention
by Delos F. Wilcox, chairman Of the
committee on franchises, who was for
several years chief Of the Bureau OF

district.
The interest of the public In the
continuity Of operation Of public utili.
ties Is sufficient, says the report, to
warrant the employment Of legal
measures to prevent strikes, especially
on street railway and telephone sys.
TENS, but the committee recognizes
that the right to strike cannot be TAX

the public in some way guarantees
that the employees interests as to
wages, hours OF labor and conditions

Discussing the right OF corporations

points out that in most cases public

and that the public might we'll afford
to pay higher rates, If revenues at ex.

The committee was in favor OF in.
sorting certain general clauses In
franchise grants, not determining spe-
cific schedules Of wages and hours,
but establishing definite method for
the settlement Of labor disputes as
they may arise.
The report continues:

POTASSIUM TO
Be PRODUCED
IN THIS State

Utah will likely become a potas-
stun producing region of Importance
in the near future, it would seem
from preliminary Investigations car
ried on by the Experiment Station
of the Utah Agricultural College and
reported in contribution issued by
Professor c. 7. Hurst and Mr.. Il. G..
Carter of the Experiment Station
Staff. Potassium is one of the ten
elements absolutely essential to
plant growth and it is seldom pres
ent in the soil in quantities sufficient
for vigorous plant growth.
The presence of sufficient potas-
SUM is particularly necessary where
potatoes and beets are grown. An
insufficient supply means a lowered
starch or sugar content. With grains,
too little potassium will result in a
shrunken and often sterile kernel.
All plants are more susceptible to dis
ease when denied sufficient POTASH
UNI. This has necessitated the use of
potassium as a fertilizer and has
given rise to the great potassium salt
industries Of the world, of which the
industries of the Strassfurt region,
Germany, are the greatest. The
United States in 1911 used nearly
one-fifth of the potassium produced
from the Strassfurt deposits, taking
over one-half of the total German
export. During the year ending June
80, 1911, the United States imported
1,1O9, 549tons of these salts, valued
at $12,5S7,462.OO.
Because of the present war in Eu-
rope, the German production has fall
len off greatly, so that at present
we get from Germany only cpe-tenth
as much as formerly. This has
caused Il great raise in the value of
potassium, raise from &c TO 3Sc "a
pound.
Alumite, natural potassium alu-
minum sulphate, occurs extensively
| throughout the west, but the best and
largest beds are in Utah. While
this Is an insoluble form of potas-
stun, it can be rendered soluble by
heat. The region near Marysvale Is
producing over 100 tons of com,
mercial potassium every day. Many
cave deposits of potassium salts il
available forms are to be found il
Utah. In MillaPd County, an old al

A GOOD IDEA

The enlistment of school children in
a rose-planting campaign, as has re-
Gently been done in Phoenix and the
Salt River valley is not new idea,
but it is one which could well be copied
by most of the cities and towns of the
state. Under the plan, as we under
stand it, the pupils of the public
schools are to be organized for the i'm
provement of vacant lots and insight
ly back yards by the planting Of Sc
lected varieties Of roses and other
hardy Towering plants. By the time
of the annual state fair, next fall, the
results Of the campaign are to be seen
in million blooms, and the enterprise
celebrated with a rose carnival.
We do not have, perhaps, all the fa-
cilities in the way of soil and water for
irrigation that exist in the Salt River
valley, with it's overhowing supply at
Roosevelt, but there are few yards
that cannot be improved by the plant
ing of roses or other plants selected
with a view to local conditions. Even
one rose bush, though it have to be
coaxed and helped through the first
part Of it's growth, is thousand times
better than a clump Of weeds. We
have had plenty Of rain, we are sure
Of the same sunshine as the more agri-
cultural parts Of Arizona, and there
is no reason why we should not en-
courage the children to enlist in a
rose-planting campaign here.

STATE MAY ADD
ANOTHER BUILDING
At THE CAPITOL

PHOENIX, Ariz., Feb. 3.-Because of
the crowded quarters of the state cap
itol, an additional building, containing
offices for the supreme court, the state
law and legislative reference libra
rian, the attorney general and other
departments, may be erected on the
capitol grounds. Lack of filling room,
and the recent expansion of the state
land department, it is said, is RESPONSE
BILE for the congestion. A building of
sufficient size to house the supreme
court and the state library, it is esti-
mated, could be erected for about $1O,-
600, but it would still leave the attor
ney general the state examiner, the
state veterinary and the agricultural
and horticultural commission without
quarters except in downtown business
blocks.
The state board of control has in
structed it's secretary to obtain esti-
mates on building that will house all
these departments. A bill providing
for an addition to the capitol building
as provided in the original plans was
introduced at the last session of the
legislature, but it died in committee.

THE CANAL MAY BE NEEDED

It is obvious, according to advices
from the Panama. canal zone, that
great pressure is being brought to bear
upon Governor Goethals to open the
waterway to vessels of shallow draft,
leaving the question Of securing a
channel Of full capacity to the future.
In view of the important truth that
the main reliance of this country for
preparedness for defense lies in it's
navy, the Panama canal is of prime
Importance The effective use of the
vessels of the navy depends largely
upon the facility with which they can
be transferred from one sea coast to
the other. The Importance Of the
Panama canal is emphasized by the
hurried voyage made by the battle
ship Oregon from the Pacific to the
Atlantic by way Of the Strait Of Ma
gellan, at the opening of the Spanish
American war. The time of the voy-
age could have been halved, by an ade-
quate waterway through the Isthmus
Of Panama.
