OF such changes: provided further that
the number Of hydrants shall not be
diminished II a change Of location Of
mains. pipes, or hydrants is made in
any manner or for any purpose: proyid-
ed further that all mains and pipes
shall be laid at such a depth as to pre-
vent freezing"
This clause pertains to change Of
grades, and the erect Of this clause
IS h q the city would be required to
stand the expense Of relaying or re-
locating any Of its mans that are chang.
ed because OF a change Of the grade
Of any Of the streets. Any progressive
city often has to make changes in
grades: also to change the width OF the
streets and other things, and the
Water Company that is given the right
to do business in the streets ought to
stand the expense of such changes as
are necessitated by the growing and
evcr-changing conditions in every city.
This burden of change should not be
shifted to the city, but should be borne
by the party receiving the privilege Of
laying Sts mains In the streets.

Section 10 OF said proposed franchise
reads as follows:
The compensation to the Company,
both from private and the
city, being a determined amount with.
out flexibility to meet sudden increases
IN cost Of operation. 1t is agreed that
the hydrant rental to be paid herein
under by the city to the company, is
determined on a basis of a total tax of
$l908.35 paid by the company for the
year 1917: should the company in any
one year, during the life Of this fran.
chise, pay a less moun in total tax.
es. then the difference between the
total tax paid by the company and the
sum of $780, IS shall be deducted from
the amount of hydrant rental to be
paid by the city to the company Dec.
lst of that year. Should the amount OF
total taxes paid by the company in
one year be greater than s190S.35 then
the city shall pay to the company on
Dec. 1st Of that year such additional
amount as the total taxes paid by the
company exceed the said $1908. 49,"
In our opinion this portion of Sec.
ton 10 is exceedingly undesirable from
the city standpoint for the reason that
it fixes the taxes to be paid by this
corporation for twenty years. 1t would
make no difference whatever in the
taxes paid by the Water Company il
their plant should be multiplied by five,
ten or twenty, their taxes would abso-
lutely remain the same. 1t would make
no difference whether this plant was
worth two hundred thousand or a mil.
lion dollars. We do not believe that a
franchise containing a clause Of this
sort should be passed by the people. It
will be remembered hat the assessed
valuation Of this corporation was rails
ed by the City Council last spring over
the strenuous protest Of the Water
Company, md the old story Of public
service corporations was enacted
anew, towit: that their property had
n value for taxation purposes and
another in fixing their selling price or
making Of rates.

LEARN ABOUT FARMING

Years ago farming was often looked
upon as a job for some one who could do
nothing else. This is not true today.
Farming is science and there is always
something new to be learned about farm
ing. What one learns this year will ben
eft him in the years to come, but next
year there will be something else to learn
if one would keep up with progress. Each
day, each hour as we pillow, cultivate,
breed animals, select seed, spread ma
nure and do the many things that must
be done, we learn, and must continue to
learn, if we wish to become successful
farmers.
In no other business is there greater
right thing must be done at the right
time in the right way. Farming is
business that requires business farmers.
We have the testimony of many, the
examples of hundreds, that farming pays
when practiced in an intelligent, defin-
tie, business way. Men succeed. They
make the farm pay a profit upon their
labor, their intelligence and the capital
they have invested. Farms afford COM
petence to rear large families, educate
the children, and start them in business
for themselves with intelligence, healthy
bodies, strong moral characters and in
domitable energy. Farms are doing this
under the supervision Of progressive
managers, aff0rding them at the same
time many Of the comforts Of life.
What other business with the very
same capital does more?-The Utah

WE ARE AT WAR

When we contemplate the awfulness OF
The struggle and the possible outcome, we
are stunned. Three and one-haf years
ago we believed world-war impossible;
we thought civilization had reached such
= high stage, that reason would take the
MAGE of swords in settling disputes be-
tween nations. We regarded war as
relic of barbarism, and that the eople OF
the nations of the world would never
again engage in bloody battle unless
some unforeseen catastrophe degenerat-
ed mankind to the level of a savage.
1t is unnecessary to discuss in detail
the causes that forced us into the war.
1t is enough to know that we are in it,
and that we could not stay out and main
tain our honor as nation. We were
compelled to enter the struggle or sur
render our rights upon the high seas. We
suffered insults, intrigues, destruction Of
property at home, German conspiracies
with friendly nations to induce them to
make war on US, and, finally, the murder
ing of American citizens by German SOL
diers. We were confronted with just two
alternatives fight, or acknowledge our
selves miserable, weak, cringing towards.
The outcome Of this struggle will de-
terTnine whether democracy or autocracy
win rule the world. If we lose, we and
our allies viii become vassals Of tyrant.
If we win, and we must, the world will
enjoy the blessings Of government by
The people and for the people.
When the alarm was sounded three and
One-half years ago that war had been
declared the allies were not prepared,
and it was not thought that Germany
was. It was soon known, however, that
for forty years Germany had been pre-
pairing for war. She had been construct

me, equipped with every device that
could be invented by man to kill, main
and destroy. When that conflagration

WE MUST WIN

NO matter Wl18C This war COSCS the
government and the people Of the Unit
ed States in the way Of money, it is going
to be much cheaper to win this war than
to lose it.
The commercial and financial losses
that would follow German victory are
not to be calculated. All that we spent
would be lost, indemnities beyond calcu-
lation would have to be paid, and along
with these losses would come continu-
ing loss in foreign commerce that would
spell disaster. ~ sss
With these material losses we would
lose our national liberty and independ-
ence, our power to secure our interna-
tional rights, our right to live in world
ruled by tfe dictates Of humanity and
civilization.

auctioneer. The total receipts from
Woodrow Knox, the famous pig con-
tributed by Mr.. Knox Harper, were
$588.50, and it was carried off to its
new home by Mr. Herman Carter.
The silk quilt, contributed by Mrs
Moon, brought the tidy sum of $29,
while the hat tree, donated by Mr..
Sam Wade, sold for Sc. In addition
to this some Red Cross workers Sc
cured the names of thirty-four an
nual members and cash contribu-
tions of 1925. Since then two more
people have given their names for
membership, and thus the good work
goes on.
Other contributions which were
very much appreciated were seven
ty-five cents from some children of
the Westover School, and $500 from
Clayton auxiliary, both funds de-
rived from egg hunts.
