PUBLIC SHOULD NOT
HESITATE

Presumably the public utility
companies can handle themselves by
meeting market conditions, il their
credit is supported by fair treatment
on the part of the communities in
which they are located. 1t is per-
fectly evident that the public util-
tiles are in hard situation, with their
income restricted by fixed rates of
compensation and their expenses in
creasing under war conditions. The
situation is so plain that the public
should not hesitate to meet It..
Since the Federal Government has
become responsible for railroad
earnings it has been prompt to re-
cogni2e the necessities, and to safe
guard itself with a liberal margin
to spare. The example should be
adoped by municipalities to the eX
tent of allowing fair read justment
of earnings or expenditures.

DISCIPLINE

One OF the blessings this war is
going to bring us is the schooling in
discipline and in obedience to auth

of our youth, This is something in
which the generations since the

BAKER FOLLOWS FALL

It is not at all unlikely that the
procrastinating policy of the War
Department may give the Republic
cans conrol of the Senate. 1t will
be remembered that when the army
appropriation bill was before the
senate month ago Senator Fall, of
New Mexico, made repeated and ur-
gent efforts to have clause insert
ed enlarging the draft ages, but the
amendment was defeated at the re-
ques of the War department, though
many senators favored it and it Is
understood that Provost Marshal
General Crowder believed the provl-
sion should be adopted at once, so
that his office could plan for regis
tration of those coming within the
new age limit. Now Secretary Bak-
or has come around to the Fall idea.
The inevitable effect is TO increase
the strength Of Senator Fall and
to make his reelection absolutely
sure. His election was very prob
able, in any event, but this delayed

United Spanish
War Veterans

Spanish War Veterans last night
voted to start fund to purchase an
automobile suitable for recruiting
The car will be painted
with stars and the red and white
stripes of the American flag and
will be used exclusively for recruit
ing purposes by Sergeant Mcleod.
Sergeant has kept his station at
he front in recruiting with number
o ftimely campaigns recently and for
his good work in this respect the
Spanish War Veterans decided he
had gained right to their assist
ance. He is member Of the local
map, having served through the
Philippine trouble, Cuba and Borer
war in Cuba.
Several other towns In the west
have started popular subscriptions
to secure such cars for he United
States army recruiting stations and
the work has been greatly improved
because of the ability of the men to
get around the country, canvass the
smaller towns and distribute their
advertising material.
The veterans last night started
the fund by pledging themselves a
contribution of 81 per man. Ac-
cording to their plan contribution
of ten cents or more will be accept
able for the fund and may be mailed
to the United States Recruiting Of
flee, or the Ogden Standard, until
the fund is large enough to pur-
chase suitable car. 1t is expected
a good second hand machine may
be purchased or some dealer found
who will sell car for this purpose
at cost,
The Ogden station covers territory
in Weber, Boxelder, Davis, Rich
Margan Cache and Summit counties
and contributions may be sent from
anyone DESTROYS of helping the funt
from al OF these ocu2t,es.
Sacramento recently equipped it
army recruiting station in hand
some way by the cooperation of sew
eral business houses some furnish
ing the car, others the oil, other
the gas and signs, ETC., and that sta
ton was brought as a result, int,
one Of the Invest recruiting district
Of the west.
i In Ogden the recruiting staff 1
small but q remarkable record ha
been maintained during the yea
through the efforts Of Sergeant M,
Leod and his men. Mcleod was tn
first recruiting sergeant in the stat
to enlist the aid Of woman recruit,
er, the first to start the Garry
Soldier" campaign, which. by tn
tway, is bearing fruit in a reassurin
manner, and he has always chan
pioned the army and the unifori
i wherever he went.
IL was suggested by the SPANS
War Veterans that other clubs Q
the city make up the campaign an
J lend support. Ten cents may
contributed by anyone they hole
| without feeling the loss and, with
r general cooperation, will soon bull
the fund into one sufficient to equi
; the local Office as desired and max
1t the equal of any in the west.

Tie following letter has been re- !,
ceised from Richard A. Norris,
Commander of the United Spanish
War Veterans. and is self explana-
tory:
Ogden, Utah, Aug. 8 ,
Detar Sir:
trust you will assist us in the
campaign just started by the Unit
ed Spanish War Veterans. You will
notice by copy OF newspaper CLIP
ping that we are inclosing the pur-
pose of our campaign. Recruiting
Officer Mcleod is well known to the
citizens of this territory, having
spoken from the platforms Of num-
Der of meeting houses, theatres and
picture houses. He is hard work
er and always endeavored to do all
in his power for the good of his
government. He is tireless worker
for the Red Cross, War Savings
Stamps and Liberty bonds.
Salt Lake is the main station for
Idaho and Utah, and in the two
states there are nine recruiting sta
tions. When Sergeant Mcleod took
charge Of the Ogden Office 1t ranked
seventh in the list of accepted APP
plicants. At the present time 1t
ranks first, and he expects to Keep
his territory in lead.
We cannot tell you of the best
plan for raising this money. 1t is
UP to your own judgments A num-
her of methods can be used. News
paper publicity, few lady solicitors
or small boxes or tin cans with a
sign on them. and placed in the diff
ferent stores where people can de,
post one cent or more.
We. do not wish you to try to
force any citizen, and we do not wish
any one to be urged to donate. Some
people may be willing to give their
Lincoln pennies, others dime, and
some iaay wis., to C:vo ~ much rs
a dollar. II each person gives ten
cents, sufficient funds will be raised
to purchase a first class car, and q
good supply Of gasoline.
At the suggestion Of Sergeant Nc.
Leod the Car will be painted with
the white and red stripes OF the flag
The hood will be the field Of blue
with forty-eight stars in white. The
words painted in gold will be do
mated to the United States Army Re
cruiting by the Patriotic Citizens
Of (name Of counies and clties.)"
Trusting this meets with your ap
prevail and that we may receive
your help.
Donations may be sent to George
Duncan Mcleod, Recruiting OHicer
United States Army, Ogden, Utah
or VIM. Phillips 247o Hudson Ave
Ogden, Utah.
We wish to have the car With,
thirty days, and you will have tn
pleasure Of having the recruiting
sergeant drive through your city
and you may see with your own eye
the gift Of your people.
This cause is worthy cause, ant
deserving Of your support, as ca
is badly needed on recruiting work
and it is something that the govern
ment does not furnish.
We do not wish the eastern state
or California to lead us in recruiting
work. They have presented the Re
crulting service with cars--why no
us?
This car is to be the property o
the United States government an,
not he property Of the recruiting OF
ficer.
We wifi be glad If you can arrang
to have the first donations sent In
to one of the above receivers With
ten days. We are, very respectful

time Zone inquiry
To FIX EXACT Lines
Investigation Ordered Arises Out of
Daylight Saving.

The Interstate Commerce Commits
SIGN last night announced that an in
vestigation had been ordered to define
the proper lines of the four standard
United States time zones under the
daylight-saving act The NTH zone
created by the act will be for Alaska
only.
The commission last week had been
unable to decide upon the new
boundaries and thought the existing
zones would be maintained under the
daylight-saving act The Eastern.
Central, Mountain and Pacific zone
limits will stand until the investiga-
ton results are announced.
In announcing the order for an in
vestigation, the commission said in
part:
THE present lines are irregular and
coincide at no points with the original
meridlonal lines. Different railroads
and localities in the same general
region employ different bases Of time.
The information necessary can be OBJ
tanned only from investigation Of the
entire situation"

Insists that the President
Should Declare Intended

afternoon. He made the direct charge
that the purpose OF the measure IL TO
enable the President TO deprive the

its rate fixing powers and transfer
these powers TO Director General Nc

proponents OF the measure for yield
ing to the demand Of the President

cized the President for refusing TO
