BEAD AS A DOOR NAIL,

The Joint Board and Control BILL recommended by the
code commission, and fahered by Representative Alma
GREENWOOD appears to be dead door nail. The bill
as too to pass in its original FORM and between the
Democratic bosses struggling for platform pledges and
the legislature in its efforts to handle the mass of matter
1cfore it, the good in the bill in all probability will die
with the bad and the work of the code commission
g2ther with the peoples money that it spent will be
wasted The BILL emasculaed and irregular has just been
rhed through the house. apparently in order to make
effort towards goo fahd but from reports from the
capital it will soon find its way to the graveyard
appointed and not without cause. 1t is really too bad
the code commission and the legislature.
Representative Greenwood, it is said feels badly over
the matter as of his pets and he therefore
looking forward to its passage with much satisfaction
appointed and not without 1t is really too bad
that much good that the bill contained should be sac
riced The bad ought to have been weeded so that
the state could have profed by the good but such action
is almost beyond hope. Representative Greenwood
and the public school people should not attach any blame
to the friends and patrons of the u A. c. and the u of u
who opposed it. They should charge all such accounts to
the code commission and the legislature.
Taxpayers also should know precisely where to place
any blame that may attach The former legislature Gre
ated the code commission and appropriated the money
for its expenses Governor Spry appointed the members
except those that were named in the law itself The
dutes therefore plain and the time for report was
mandatory The commission headed by the state super
tendent sought to beyond it's powers and evaded the
law to time of making its report The money has been
spent and the beated report in such form that the
present legislature not capable of segregatng the
good from the bad 1t is evident that the fault is with
the code commission and the legislature.

II. A. C. BILL GETS THE AK.

representative Joseph S. CampbelIs bill providing for
teaching the Agricultural Pedagogy in the u A. C. was
knocked in the head with broad before it had the
privilege of coming the floor of the house of repre-
aentatives. And right here going to in
the action of the committee that killed the BILL because
think it ought to have been killed In view of condi-
tons think it unwse to attempt any movement that
will include any work in the u A. that is taught at the
u. of u. Such action will be plain duplication of work,
something that the state has been trying avoid and
that will attach expense that the taxpayers ought not
TO pay. We have agreed in the past to program that
would reduce duplication to the lowest possible minimum
and let us keep the faith.
Now that the bill is killed those responsible for its
introduction ought to get busy and with the help of their
Friends, kill the movement to appropriate funds to the
University of Utah for extension purposes. Senator
Armstrong, chairman senate committee appropra-

Representative Greenwood is pushing it in the house.
This is clearly violation of the compact and any
movement to foster extension work at the u of u.
will be burden upon the taxpayers 1t is true the U. A. c.
spending state money in this capacity but it must
remembered that for every dollar the state gives the
u A. c. the federal government duplicates it. This work
belongs to the u A. G. and is doing it to the credit of
the school and the good of the state From the fact that
the u A. C. Pedagogy bill introduced is
why the Uof u should receive state money for extension
work. That the Pedagogy bill was killed is in accord with
the compact and it will be unjust to violate in the
matter of extension work forthe u of u All readers of
this paper should protest to Senator Funk and repre-

For years, this organization has
been leading up to this movement but
now the time is considered ripe for
big drive" In this, the states that
have already outlawed the saloon are
taking the lead because Nthe states
that still have the license system are
bending their efforts for state wide
prohibition for their own state. II
is because of this fact that the dry
states and those that have voted dry
but whose laws have not yet gone
into effect are taking the lead.
The leaders say that this campaign

HOLLAND SENDS PROTEST
ON SUBMARINE BLOCKADE
But Government Is Silent on Course
Regarding Break-Paper Cites
Difference in Position of U. S.

THE HAGUE. February 6, via Lon
DON'T is known that Holland has pro-
tested strongly against Germany's de-
cree of unrestricted submarine warfare,
but the press is silent as to the gov
ernments action. The foreign office
refuses to give any details as to the
course adopted by the administration.
The Nieuwe Rotterdamsche Courant,
while expressing the fullest confidence
in the government, complains that the
country does not know what the stand
point of the administration is. The
Courant expresses surprise at President
Wilson'S statement in regard to other
neutral powers following the example
Of the United States, and asks whether
the Presidents expectation is based on
foreknoWiedge or merely superstition.
1t adds
I'VE do not know the attitude nor the
action of our government on the ques-
ton OF ruthless submarine warfare but
it may Conceivably view matters from
q different angle TO that of the United
States"
The Courant then compares American
Hollands scarcity of these articles, all
OF which she must import. COMPARE
son also is made between Holland
contiguous position to Germany, with
an open eastern frontier, as compared
with Americas remoteness from the
war arena, and the paper concludes that
the Dutch government must consider
factors which do not exist in America
ana which may modify its decision.

The severance of diplomatic relations
with Germany and the possibility of A

crease the interest in the coming in

The sale of the tickets for these

day. Already reservations for more
than 1000 seats have been made The
actual sale of the seats has been held
up because of a delay in receiving the
tickets aud the seating charts.
The work of sending out invitations

How Austria Views Break.

VIENNA, February 6, via Amsterdam
to London. 1850 amin its comment
on the recent action by the United
States the Nueue Freie Presse says:
president Wilson acts as if submarine
warfare were a bolt from the blue
something entirely due TO lust for de-
struction. Has he forgotten what the
entente has done to provoke the central
powers Has he forgotten that it open
~ declared to the world that Austria
Hungary must perish and the German
political power be crushed?
How can President Wilson speak of
the freedom of the seas when the Brit
ish u few days ago blockaded by mines
the coasts Of Holland and Denmark
Never has President Wilson treated
severity Help for Great Britain has
could have ended the war by stroke
of the pen without violation of neu-
tralty or even materially hurting Great
Britain. Honest recognition of Subma =
rine warfare would have been his best
course He failed to take advantage OF
the opportunity, In his heart he is
siding with the entente and calls upon
other neutrals to follow him. This ruse
has small chance of success"
The NeuS Weiner Tagblatt says: "The
German government in its note of last
May reserved full freedom of action if
America failed to secure obedience by
other nations to the laws of humanity.
Germany therefore cannot be blamed If
President Wilson suddenly finds him
self taken by surprise"
