River Bill Needs
Changes, Says Dern

Three changes which he would like
to see made in the Swing johnson
bill before it is pasesd by congress,
have been suggested by Governor
George H. Dern, Senator Reed Smoot
and Congressman E. 0. Leatherwood
the governors office announced Sat
urday afternoon.
The governor believes the prohibit
tions which he has suggested are
necessary to protect Utah's interest
in the Colorado river system.
The changes suggested by the gov
ernor are as follows:
MAKE the bill dependent upon
the seven states compact instead Of
upon the six state compact.
2-Have the bill contain declara-
tion that the bed of the river belongs
to the state and not to the federal
government.
3-Provide program for develop
ing the entire Colorado river system
instead of simply this one unit which
is for the exclusive use of California
Governor Dern also forwarded to
Senator Smoot and Congressman
Leatherwood a draft of the proposed
amendment to the Swing-Johnson bill
which would cover the three changes
proposed.
In his letter to Senator Smoot, the
governor said it seemed to him that
Utah is now in a position where it
can strongly assert its claims. He
declared he il not disposed to be
selfish in the matter because he
recognizes the Importance of COM
mercial cooperation between Utah
and California. "There are certain
rights to which Utah is entitled" the
governor said, and he expressed tho
hope that without much delay an ad-
justment may be reached satisfactory
to all of the states interested.

Scandals Rocking States Financial Boat
BURGLARS GET $500
LOOT AT WINSLOW

Robbers entered the Behn clothing
store sometime early Friday night
making away with over $500 in mems
and woman's clothing, City Marshal
Charles Harp announced yesterday,
the burglary not being made public
due to the fact that publicity might
have tipped a clue being followed.
From reports to the marshal it
appears that someone secreted him
self in the store during the early
hours of the evening before the
closing hour, and after the employees
had left ransacked the place making
his exit from the back door.
The burglary was not discovered
until the store was opened Saturday
morning. Up to late yesterday no
arrests had been made.-W Winslow

COTTON GROWN HERE

that cotton was grown in this section
from 600 to 1000 years ago. Cotton

Says Highway
Debts No Good

That debt of $500, 900 incurred by
the state highway department was in
Cured illegally and that it is not col
lectible against the state, is the gist
of an opinion submitted to the sem
ate judiciary committee by Attorney
General j. w. Murphy At the same
time was given the decision that the
sum should not be considered as any
overstepping of the states constitu-
tional debt limitation of $350000, for
such overstepping would have to be
done by the legislature and would not
be possible by any other agency of
the state.
1t was decided in the same commun-
ication that the state auditor, con-
fronting the present debt conditions,
legally may draw warrants on ex-
hausted funds, when the total of the
appropriations for such funds has not
been reached. With regard to re-
sponsibility for the present conditions,
the attorney general declares that any
attempted Indebtedness that any state
officer or department might have
sought to create is wholly void and
unenforceable. No personal liability
would appear to attach to the officer
or department, whatever the effect
upon the innocent creditor. There is
agreement that the state will have to
do something in the crisis, but the leg
islators appear at sea concerning the
course they must steer. Unlike the
Lyman dam debt of $650,000 and the
loss Of $5O0,O0O in the Central bank
failure, there can be no charging off
the books. It is reported that the
highway department owes about S12,
600 for rail transportation alone, as
we'll as much for materials furnished.

Clever characterizations, good in
trepretation Of roles and development
of the central plot were outstanding
points of merit in the senior class
play presented last night at the
Grand theatre by students of Doug
las high school. The audience was
not large, but it was appreciative and
applauded warmly throughout the
show.
Henry Borcherding, playing the
part of an author, was perhaps the
star of the production. Glenn Pratt,
an artist, who worked with Borcher-
ding, also earned a large share Of
the applause and favorable criticism.
Aileen Maiden, Elizabeth Jones and
Margaret Sparr, all played their
roles well. Aileen, as dancer, and
Elizabeth as an enthusiast, were Wig
orously applauded for their work to-
gether, and Margaret as Mrs. Podge,
a landlady, was decided success.
j. H. Fairbanks, director, who has
produced several successes in Doug
las, such as Clarence" and "Her Step
Husband" is entitled to much praise
for the manner in which the show
was handled. James MCGUIRE, as
stage boss handled the properties

The Standard Oil Company Qndiana) is business
organized on colossal scale, but its methods of
operation are as simple, the foundation upon
which it is built is as solid as lone man. business
in which the owner knows personally every worker
and every customer.
The principles of successful business do not alter
with the years or vary with differences in SIZE They
are the same always for all organizations, large or
small.
Fair-dealing honesty of purpose sincerity in
word and deed-form the solid base of principles
upon which all successful business must be built
The public insists that this shall be true. The pub
lie is made up of great masSsof men and women who
are quick to detect fraud and deceit. A few people
may be fooled-but never the great mass of people
who make or break business.
For it is the public that decides the success of any
business. People cannot be forced to buy things
against their will. They buy the products of that
organization which they know they can depend upon
to give them the highest quality at the lowest pos
sible price. They insist on fair dealing, honesty,
sincerity.
The ever-increasing demand of the people of the
Middle West for Standard Oil Company Qndiana)
products-which has made necessary its steady
growth-has shown their appreciation of these
principles.
The people of the Middle West have learned that
they can depend on the Standard Oil Company
Qndiana). They know that its products are reliable
always the same. They know that they will meet
fairness and honesty in any dealings they may have
with the Company.
The very name of the Standard Oil Company

to right principles for so many years that when the
Company introduces new product to the public,
thousands of people are instantly ready to try it,
confident that it will maintain the reputation of the
Standard Oil Company Qndiana)
Such a reputation for integrity is built up in only
one way whether the smallest store in the smallest
village, or large organization like the Standard Oil
Company Qndiana) serving ten states is concerned
by the simple system of fair dealing, honesty of pur-
