CURRENT COMMENT
Daylight savings-Big City Standpoint

QayHkhl odNlhBs-bi9 Wy ~soANRNt"N
The state Senate has properly killed
the bill to repeal daylight saving which
its committee reported. We shall
therefore remain as we were, since IT
would require the concurrent action OF
houses to make any change in the
existing daylight saving law; we shall
retain the benefcent addition of two of
the lovliest hours of the day TO our
time for our yocations and ayocations.
The law has worked well for the great
majority Of the people of this Common
wealth, and that is about all that can
reasonably be sked of any law. Even
those who benefit by it will seriously
regret the disadvantage which the
farmers feel as the result of IL. But in
this case the interest and desire of the
great majority, in our almost purely
industrial and commercial state, neces-
sarily prevail over that of the minor
lily.
In replacing the repeal measure re-
ported by its committee, the Senate
adopted resolve to provide for an in
quiry on the part Of the states OF New
England as to proper means of elimi
.
maintenance of one system of time in
certain states or places and another in
other states or places. Ii is certainly
well to reduce this confusion, II pos
sible. The worst sufferers by the two
fold system of time are those who cling
to the standard time. for the action Of
Massachusetts, and the cities of Bos-
tom and New York carries with il the
determination Of railroad time, and
that Is all-important. At the same
time tht it rejected the bill for repeal
of daylight saving. the Senate also
rejected Representative Doyle's bill to
extend the period Of daylight saving to
include the months of April and Octo-
Der. If daylight saving Isl desirable
and logical in any month in the
year, il is logicl ip the month
Of April. when the sun is as near to

proclivities toward eriminality are

recklessness Of youth and not tempered
by the element of ripened Judgment
that comes to older persons. The IN

cause it is an age when the young

Recognition Of this fact-that t.ie

Parents may be able to prevent the re-

STEADY INCREASE C0NsUMPT1O REPORTED WEST

An encouraging Story of renewed
and increased business and indus
trial activity is being recorded by
the meters Of the electric and gas
generating stations of the west, in
Guiding those of this state. The
meters relate that shops. factories,
and manufacturing plants are using
more electrical energy or gas fuel,
indicating that they are employing
more men. running longer hours,
n producing more goods.
The story of returning prosperity
so accurately repeated by the gas
and electrical meters was reiterated
hero by z. p. Bacon of the Natrona
Power company. His observations
are based on data furnished him by
the Rocky Mountain committee on
public utility information, with
which his organization is affiliated.
The committee has Just completed
a survey to determine the trend of
business conditions In New Mexi-
co, Wyoming and Colorado.
The consumption of gas and cleo
trfcal energy during May WIS, on an
average, Is per cent greater than
during the corresponding month a
