Title for Pioneers
 Home is Now Wanted

As the last session of the Ter ritorial Legislature provided a Commission to determine the proper place for the erection of a new Pioneers Home and the status of the title of the land upon which the perman- ent Home is to be construct ed, and the proper means for acquiring title thereto, the question of the title of the present location of the Home is now under consideration.

SAY INTERNATIONAL
 CONFERENCE NEEDED

Senators Borah and Thomas of Idaho and Shoot of Utah agreed in a conference with Utah and Idaho mining men held recently in Boise, Idaho, that an international confer ence is essential to the rehab- ilitation of silver"
 A concrete plan for silver stabilization was presented by Senator Shoot, but no an- nouncement of the plan was made. Following the confer ence, all members of the dele gation, remained noncommital on the plan, explaining it had been agreed beforehand that it should be submitted to Pres ident Hoover before being made public. It was learned it would require congressional action.
 Other subjects, including the decision of Mexico to go on a silver basis, the London confer ence and other international matters were discussed inform ally, delegates said.
 A statement issued after the conference, said:
 "The worldwide awakening to the importance of the silver problem has resulted in an agreement among leading authorities that stabilization of silver as money should be made by the nations of the world.
 Press dispatches from world financial centers indicate the imperative need for immediate action to avoid the collapse of the great credit structure upon which international trade depends.
 "To place the matter square ly before agriculture, industry, labor and statesmen it is nee essary that some specific plan be agreed upon by the many powerful groups which real iZe how destructive is the in creasing discrepancy between the comparative price of com modities and human labor or the one hand and the made quate and diminishing gold supply on the other.
 "To this end conferences are being held among the lead ing students of this vital ques- tion. Furthermore, it is deemed vital that the question be kept out of partisan politics, al- though it is recognized that action by the president and the congress will be necessary un- der sympathetic and courag- eous leadership.
 It is the conviction of Sen ators Shoot, Borah and Thom- as that a constructive program will be worked out which will meet the approval of fin anciers, economists and states men and which will be prime factor in restoring world stability and prosper ity."
