WILL THE LEGISLATURE HELP?

A MONG other objects set forth in
"A his proclamation calling the spec
ial session of the state legislature,
referred to the matter Of legislation
to bring relief from the prevailing
high cost of living. We trust that
the governor and legislature have a
plan outline which will accomplish the
desired results.
We see no excuse for prices remain
ing as high as they are now this long
after the close of the war, and while
we do not look to see prices return to
the pre-war level for a number of
years, if indeed they ever do, yet it
seems as if we should now be over
the peak and gradually defending the
slope toward lower prices.
The high price bug seems to have
infected every line of industry and
about the only cure so far as we can
see will be increased production and
keener competition. If there are peo-
pie engaged in sitting this industry
and withholding the supply Of neces-
stiles in order to maintain unreason-
able prices, they ought to be prose-
cuted At least it would do no harm
to appoint commission to investi-
gate the cause of the high prices and
see if there are such abuses.

THE steam shovel to be used by
the Christensen Construction Com
pany in the performance of the three
miles of heavy rock work through Ce-
dar Canyon, is being transported by
wagons and auto trucks from the rail-
road to it's field of action, and will
soon be busily employed in moving
the broken stone anN earth from the
line of the road way. This will in
sure the early completion of this 8
miles of difficult road work, but the
problem of a road from there to the
rim Of the canyon is still before us
1t can easily be seen that it would be
in the interests of economy and the
early completion Of this much-needed
highway to keep the steam shovel at
work when once on the ground and
set up until the road is completed
But just how to get the matter before
the State Road Commission and the
federal department of roads in an
emphatic enough way to obtain quick
action, is the problem, Every bit of
pressure that we can summons should
be brought to bear TO obtain this
much needed Improvement now, for
it would open up valuable and neces-
sary reserves of timber, and make
accessible to tourist travel the Won
derful scenery with which the noun
tains and canyons abound, besides
providing a means of communication
between the counties and towns on the
east and west side of the mountain
range. The Commercial Club, the
Farm Bureau, the City, County and
Legislative officials should all take up
the matter and try to have the appro-
priations extended to cover the bal
ance of the work required to carry the
road over the top Of the divide. Mr..
Christensen Of the Construction COM
pany states that the work can be pros
ecuted practically all winter with the
aid Of the steam shovel to good adj
vantage.

CEDAR CITY has suffered lot OF
Inconvenience and discomforture the
past few weeks on account of the
absence so much Of the time of water
from the city mains, while the change
has been made from the old leaky
wooden pipes to the new ones; but
thank goodness it is about at an end
and we are informed that the water
is now in the pipes to remain. It is
especially consoling that water will
be available this week for the regular
Saturday night" baths. We suspect
that there are good many people in
town who haven't seen bath tub in
three weeks, and this is not saying
that the editor may not be one of
them. Hotels, restaurants, barber
shops and dental offices are among
the concerns most Inconvenience by
the intermittent water service. but
everyone has seemed to take the in
convenience philosophically and good
naturally, realizing that the engineer
and water master were handling the
matter with just as little inconven-
fence as possible. But we are all
mighty glad that the strain is over

VALUATIONS IN IRON COUNTY

.THAT there is fragrant discrimina-
l. ton against Iron county as COM
pared with other counties in this end
Of the state in the matter of valua-
tions for basis of taxation is the
unanimous verdict of all county Of
ficials who are in a position to know.
Even sheep, which should have a uni
form value as between adjoining
counties, are assessed higher in Iron
county than in some Of the adjoining
counties, particularly Washington,
where it is charged the raise made by
the State Board Of Equalization was
abated again after final notice had
been served that the assessment books
were closed for the year. This on the
urgent request of the representative
from that county and petition from
the sheepmen residing there.
According to the opinion Of county
officials and other prominent men re-
siding here, there is entirely too much
politics injected into the business Oh
equalizing taxes, and that a county
known to be strongly Democratic is
favored at the expense of counties of
the opposite political leanings. This
is the smallest kind of practice and
If true will surely bring it's own pun
ishment on the heads of the persons
STOPPING to indulge in it.
There certainly seems to be ground
for the charge of incompetence on
the part of certain members of the
Board, who have been appointed as
reward for political or other serv-
ices, with little or no regard to fitness.
1t certainly does not look right that
the business Of taxation should be
used as a reward or punishment for
party utilization, which is being freely
charged in the present situation.
Nor does it look right that road
improvements should be used as o
political plum, which some are charg-
ing to the present administration
since the recent declaration that there
would be nothing done on the pro-
posed concrete highway through this
county, at least during the present
year.
State officials should bear in mind
that there are people Of both political
PARTIES in this county, and that a
slight or injustice will be resented as
quickly by adherants of their own
party as by those of other political
persuasions.

conditions would permit in the direc-

nounced that no work will be done in
Iron county this year on the Arrow

"Why?" and we are unable to answer
them.

Invention of Much Worth.

The special oXyacetylene blowpipe
applied by French engineers to cutting
steel under water is claimed to have
greatly simplified the salvage of torpe-
doed vessels. A blowpipe is mount
ed in small diving bell, from
which the water is expelled by
compressed air, and the blowpipe
presSures of air and acetylene, greater
than under ordinary conditions, are
regulated according to the depth at
which the work is being done. In
trials made. ships plates have been
cut under % feet of water. Besides
the use of the apparatus on sunken
vessels, It can be employed in repair
ing locks, and probably in other I'M
derwater work.

WHEN JIMMY BRITT LAUGHED
Sportsman Who Had santered Him
on Looking Old Got Consider
able OF Jolt

Jimmy Britt. the Immediately
dressed lightweight champion, used to
tell a story about Eugene CORR, the
English referee.
"One day in the Strand" so the
story ran, "Corri came up to me and
said:
britt. you've made lot of money
out of boxing. haven't your
ayes said /. I have
"WeH,' said CORR. why don't you
quit? You're beginning TO show signs
of what you area pugilist on the
, down grade. Jimmy, my boy, you're
beginning to look 0d.'
"Well, after that speech CORR took
me to lunch at the Savoy. While we
were lunching nice-looking couple at
nearby table kept looking at us con-
iinually, and finally we heard the
young lady say as she nodded toward
CORR:
"Who is that MANI
He's a pugilist,' her escort an
swered.
'Graciousr said the young lady.
What brutal face he hasr
eyes said her escort. TO judge
from his looks he must be about the
foulest fighter in the ring
''Then a little later we heard the
young lady ask:
els he marriedT
eyes; oh, yes said her escort.
That handsome, gentlemanly little
fellow with him is his SON."

ALL THAT He WOULD ADMIT
But Old vermonter Did Unbend Slight
ly When His Visitor Presented
His "Credentiais-"

Representative Frank Green Of Yer
mont, who makes the best after-dinner
speech of any man In congress, and
does not like TO because IT interferes
with his train of serious thought, has
brought a new Vermont story to town.
1t is based ON the care with which his
fellow Vermonters take strangers into
their arms.
While ambling around the state
during the recent recess Green visited
town where several of his ancestors
were born. Finally he came up in
front of a village store and encoun-
tering one of the oldest inhabitants
he tried to start q conversation.
Looks as though it might RAIN"
Green suggested.
The Oldest Inhabitants response
was a quick glance.
"Who are you, young MANI" he
asked.
"Oh," Green responded, 'Tm young
Green. Ny grandfather used to run
the quarry out yonder. Ny grand
father, too, was born in these parts"
SIS that so?'
"Yes," Green continued. 4 had a
lot Of relatives born up here, too.
One of my uncles ran the livery
stable for years, cousin was in the
furniture business one of my aunts
was the champion bread baker of the
county for six consecutive years, and
/ don't know how many of my folks
took other high honors hereabouts."
The resident was impressed. Look
ing Green over carefully and Obsery-
irg that the young fellow appeared to
be telling the truth, the old man
agreed:
well, young man, 1t may rain

some of the oddities noticed in ner-

One "who bayonets another TN the
face may develop a hysterical tic in
his own face; one bayoneting enemies

contractures in himself Hysterical
blindness may follow from seeing hor-
rible sights; historical deafness when

Colonel of his regiment Ia West
