are doing very well and one hears
little complaint from them.
There Is q great deal Of diSsatis-
faction with the new deal among the
business men, large and small First
Of all, this is essentially speculative
community. It's business leaders were
accusomed to take long chances, but
they also played for large stakes. No
where else in the country, perhaps. has
the infringement of Government meas
ures upon profit had so damaging an
effect as here. Under the operation
Of the N. r. A. also. mine labor in
Utah for the first time has been gen.
orally unionized.
Shy at Investments.
There are plenty Of promoters with
enterprises which they say could be
opened up successfully, but the men
with money refuse to invest until
they are given greater assurances
than they now have that profits. IL
made, will not be taken away from
them by the Government.
Utah is one of the few States which
followed Gen. Hugh S. Johnson's ad-
vice by setting UP a local N. r. A.
to supplement the one in washing
ton. Restrictions upon hours OF work
and wages here have been carried
into the smallest communities and
the small business men are complain
ing bitterly against them.
Politics in Utah, for the time, con-
sists Of a fairly clean-cut division be-
tween the masses of people, who are
subsisting on Government relief, and
the business men who believe they
could be better of under the old
system of Iaissez-faire. The masses
still are strong for Roosevelt and all
his works.
The major election contest in the
State this year is the choice OF q
United States Senator. with William
H. King, Democrat. seeking re-elec-
ton for q third term. His principal
opponent for the Democratic nomina-
ton is Herbert Nav, professor at the
University of Utah, who is running
principally on an issue of more
stringent public utility control. Nav
is popular and he might be a
formidable candidate in a primary
election, but the nomination will be
made by a State convention. The
generally prevailing opinion is that
King will win handily.
Mormon Church Neutral
The Republican candidate, already
nominated. is Don B. Cotton, former
member of the House of Representa-
tives and the present director of east
ern missions of the Mormon Church,
with headquarters In New York. King
also Is a Mormon and the church
apparently is assuming an attitude
of neutrality.
A strong effort was made to induce
j. Reuben Clark, former Ambassador
to Mexico and the present second
counsellor to the president Of the
Mormon Church, to accept the Re-
publican nomination. The under
standing was that Clark would run
only If he was asked to do so by the
church organization and his declina-
ton was taken as an indication that
the Mormon hierarchy had decided
that this is not the year in which to
attempt to reverse the new deal Un-
der these circumstances it is held en-
tirely likely that King will be re-
elected and that the two members OF
the House of Representatives from
the State also will continue Demo-
cratic.

THACHERON RADIO
ATTACKS JOHNSON
Hoover Solicitor General
Terms N. R. A. Abhor-
rent to Justice.
By The Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. July 3l.-The N. r.
A. as administered by Hugh s. John
son was described last night by
Thomas D. Thacher, solicitor general
In the Hoover administration as
"abhorrent to the American sense OF
justice and fair play
Speaking over nationa! radio
hookup In the Republican National
Committees political speech series,
Thacher contended the great question
Ia be determined in the next Con-
eresx was to what extent the policy
~ giving the President vast powers
over agriculture and industry should
be continued
The question will certainly be con-
sidered. and may well be decided by
the new Congress-" Thacher said.
consequently it should be the con-
trolling issue in the congressional
election this Fall.
Hasty Action Taken.
"rt involves the American system
of Government and rises far above
the fortunes Of candidates or of polit-
ical parties. knowledge OF the new
system and its effect upon individual
men and women is necessary TO IN
telligent discussion.
Under critical necessity In the last
II months. he said, hasty legislative
and executive action had been taken
WITHOUT considered thought OF the
ultimate consequences OF the action
taken.
"vast powers over finance, agricul-
ture industry and commerce" he
said "have been delegated TO the
President, who in turn has Delegated
these extraordinary powers to snoorol-
nate officials, and even to persons IN
nrivate life. who are not under the
duties and obligations imposed oy
statute upon those charged with OIL
fetal responsibility,
Through the exercise OF sucn
powers, thus delegated, the indiVlouai
pursuits Of our people have been
brought under bureaucratic regimen
tation and control"
Turning to the N. r. A., Thacner
said the Government had employed
the boycott to 'coerce compliance
with code provisions" and added:
THE net result of these and other
coercive measures contained in the
codes, in the absence of any adequate
method of appeal to the courts, is to
compel compliance regardless OF loss
or damage which may result
Reform Must Be Forced"
THAT the administration will not
reform the N. r. A. unless COM
PEELED to do so by vigorous opposi-
ton in Congress seems certain.
No well-intentioned bureaucrat ever

Republican"
The n. r. A. administrator made
the comment last night on an address
by Thacher in New York attacking
Johnson.
As to the question Of the fairness
OF the N r. A. codes which Thacher
assailed as being "abho-rent TO the
American sense Of justice and fair
play" johnson said that lis queS-
ton for the courts TO determine, not

HIGH COURT ENDS
SLOT-MACHINE FIGHT
Reverses Decision of Second Cir.
cult Appellate Tribunal
in New York.

The Supreme Court yesterday re-
versed the action of the Second Cir
cult Court of Appeals, which had pro-
hibited seizure Of slot machines In
New York, and sent the case back
to the district tribunal with instruc-
tions to dismiss the complaint.
Police Commissioner John F. Organ,
in directing a cleanup in the CAM
pain ordered by Mayor La Guardia,
seized vending machines owned by
the Mills Novelty Co. of Chicago. The
concern obtained an injunction tc
prevent police seizure of the machines
however, contending they were mer.
chandising devices.
TIL point emphasized by the COM
pany was that, although metal slugs
were delivered by the machines, they
had no cash value and were marked
as intended for amusement only.
La Guardia insisted, however, thai
the devices were easily converted fol
gambling purposes, the slugs being
redeemed by proprietors of establish
ments in which the machines wert
set up.
