an examination and found only six per-
sons were overdue in payment Of inter-

and few vacant houses. People owned
their homes. There were between two
hundred and three hundred dwellings
under construction.
STREET RAILWAY
MAN OPTIMISTIC.
No business barometer was more
sensitive than the street railway. Mr..
Dicks said. His road felt the depres-
sion at its beginning in August 1920,
and that sagging continued to June,
1921. Now business was coming back.
Mr.. Schweikhart said sales of light
hardware were very good and of heavy
hardware very slow. He was so con-
fident of general improvement that he
had not reduced his force. Mr.. Rich
mond said the outlook in the mining
machinery line was not cheering. To-
day sales were only 10 per cent of normal.
heavy hardware sales were on 80 per
cent basis with some slight improve
ment evident. He looked for a fair
business in 1922, but not for a broad
demand for mining machinery until 1873
and he did not expect to see tho copper
surplus absorbed until well along in
+922. A prediction was made by MIR.
Gray, of the Oregon Short Line
that Utah would develop steel industry
that would rival copper and sugar in
iTn portance, Mr.. Beeson, speaking for the
interurban traction people, confirmed the
view Of Mr.. Dicks. He said Utah had
the second largest interurban miIes ge

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER g. 1921

Utah roads are pretty good, considering
that small section of the State pays
for all the roads in all parts of the
State. Tourist travel is improving. Up
to Sept. a total Of 81, 500 visitors were
recorded.
Utah people are not slow in praising
their country for its scenic beauty and
its mineral deposits, but they declare in
the same breath that America has not
awakened to the tremendous possibilities
Of Idaho. That State. they say, has some
of the richest lead in the world, particu-
larly in the Snake River valley. land that
rivals that Of the Mississippi delta in fer
tility. In addition they say Idaho has
possibilities Of hydro electric develop
ment and Of irrigation beyond that Of al

Utah seems to have weathered the storm
remarkably well. Unemployment in Salt
Lake is not large. Today the total is
1854. There has been a fair amount OF
construction. Building permits to Sep
tember total, 1y024. Nearly all Of these
are for dwellings.
A person who has not been In Utah
for nearly ten years sees remarkable i'm
provement in the country. The farms
are cultivated to a high degree. In not
a few instances they compare well with
those Of the best agricultural States Of
the Middle West. This is all the more
remarkable in view Of the difficulties
the farmers here had to overcome with
an alkali soil in some sections and sage
brush in Others There Is promise of
Utah entering the cOterie OF oil States.
Drilling operations By the Royal Dutch
Shell, the Ohio Oil, the Utah Oil Re-
fning Company are under way in va
rious places.
PROMISE, TOO, OF
STEEL INDUSTRY.
Thus far on these operations the com
panies have expended 81, c00O 900 in road
building and on rigs and castings. There
Is promise, too, Of a considerable steel
industry. The Utah Steel Corporation has
ore teds that are said 70 be equal to
any in the country, together with coal
! in unlimited quantities, like Colorado.
Utah is lavishly rich in coal. Some day
with this fuel and the development Of
hydrO-electric energy 1t will have high
advantages at its command. What Utah
needs about as much aE anything is q
press agent Today it's attractions, SO far
as the outside world knows, might be
summed up in the Mormon Temple and
the Great Salt Lake. It's a matter of
fact, Utah is declared by those who
should know whereof they speak, to be
the scenic wonderland of America. The
northern approach to the Grand Canyon
Of the Colorado is said even TO surpass
the section that is SO well known. But

UTAH HELD MOST
UNDERGRADUATE
Mr.. Armstrong said Utah was the most
under-capitalized section Of the United
States, the last frontier of under capital
tzation. It had more undeveloped re-
sources than any other State and the
temptation of the Utah people. who ap-
preciated what these resources were. al
ways had been to take fluid capital ana
make 1t fixed capital. This tended to
keep them hard up. In banking under
capitalization was more evident than else

neved we had turned the corner. AS to
deposits they were high and increasing
in total although the average of indi-
vidual deposit had decreased. Copper

THE TAX SITUATION.

APPARENTLY, judging from the
expression Of those in the new state
administration who have something to
say in the matter, taxation in Mis-

q different basis shortly.
Today the matter Of taxation, both
Federal and State, is n Of universal
