SUPREME COURT EXPLAINS
Reasons Given For Ordering School
Tax Levy Here.

Written decision Of the supreme
court Of Utah, supplementing the oral
decision made some days ago that the
county commissioners Of Carbon coun-
ty should be ordered to provide a rate
Of S.5 mills for school purposes, was
handed down one day last week. The
argument Of Justice J. T.. Prick, who
writes the opinion, is that some effect
should be given to a proviso in the
state school revenue law hitherto not
interpreted by the supreme court. The
proviso occurs in the section which
appears to limit the levy for school
purposes to SIS mills for support and
maintenance of Oh e schools, and Is
mills additional TO be used exclusively
for the purchase Of school sites and
the erection Of school buildings. The
proviso adds.
"That the board Of education in
each county school district Of the first
class, shall also, on OF before the first
Monday in May Of each year, furnish
the board Of county commissioners an
estimate in writing Of school funds
needed in their districts for the ensu-
ing year for the payment Of teachers,
Of expenses of the county teachers in
stitute and Of compensation Of the
superintendent Of schools. "
Justice Prick goes into detail r. 10
the history Of this proviso and the
section Of the law in which it Is con-
tanned. He concludes long nrgu-
ment with the question: "Is IL not
more reasonable TO assume that the
legislature intended that this portion
Of the statute be given some force
and effect, and that seven mills is
not 10 be taken NJ an absolute and in
flexible limitntion7"
The decision further points out that
TO rule that the legal limit il seven
mills would cause much confusion in
many school districts Of the state,
both as TO present and as 10 past
school levies. II is pointed out that
the levies in the different counties
composing school districts for the
year 1920 vary call the way from
three 10 fifteen mills"
The decision deals with the district
school tax levy. There Is pending be-
fore the people Of the state n pro-
posed constitutional amendment af-
fecting the state school tax levy.

UTAH SHAIE NAY CONE IN
Failure Of the Petroleum Supply 10
Hasten Development.

Shale fields OF Northeastern Utah
will likely be one Of the important
petroleum supply sources Of the Unit
cd States when the domestic oil pro-
duction Is insufficient 20 meet con-
sumption requirements, David White,
chief geologist of the United States
geological survey, said few days
ago upon his arrival in Salt Lake City.
White, accompanied by X. @. Hill, In
charge OF oil and gas field inycstiga-
tions for the geological survey, have
inspected the oil shalo regions OF
Colorado and Utah, and they plan TO
examine the shale areas Of Wyoming
at will be remembered, said
White, "that the United States geo
logical survey is a pioneer In the ex-
animation Of the oil shnle regions of
Colorado, Utah, Wyoming and Nevada
with n view 10 their ultimate utiliza-
ton ms sources Of supply for petrol
cum when the domestic oil production
Of the United States becomes insult
fioient 10 meet the consumption re-
quirements Of the country.
"The deposits here in Utah are tre-
mendously important, equaling those
Of any other state in richness. II will
appear that the principal great re-
serves of rich oil shale as yet examin-
ed are TO be found in parts of Utah,
Colorado, Wyoming and Nevada. |
believe il win be no time at all until
shale oil will be needed. Oil imported
from Mexico during August for use in
this country totaled ten million bar
rels. II is impossible 10 predlc. when
the utilization Of oil shale will be put
ON q commercial basis.
"There are many hopeful indica-
tions that oil shale may, at a relative
ly early date, be treated on a CONNER
cial scale, though il Is not unlikely
that additional time may elapse be-
fore discoveries as to retorting pro-
eesses and experiments as TO the best
methods of refining will make posi-
BILE the complete utilization of the dis
tillate in the various forms"

triot /.
con behalf of the monthly men, G.
X. Rockhold presented Wetzel with a
handsome Masonis ring and took oe-
casion TO express the good will and
friendship the men felt for the retir-
ing superintendent. Wetzel respond
ed in a feeling manner and spoke Of
the friendly cooperation that had
been shown him on the part of the
men. During the short time he was
in charge of mines for the local com
pany Wetzel demonstrated that he is
thorough, practical mining man,
while his fairness in all matters that
came before him won the good will
and esteem Of employees.
sin going 10 his new and larger
field of labor he takes the best wishes
of many friends among the employees
of the Ohio Galleries company"
Wetzel got back 10 Salt Lake City the
first Of this month and has since been
on the job at Rains. Here at Price
last Monday he expressed himself as
pleased 10 be in Utah once more and
also with the salary, quite an induce
ment in his returning. He has very
